For now, the defense will huff around while waiting to see what forensics comes up with. The defense will continue to do some major public chest thumping, get puffed up on TV and try to look all big and scary with LKB as the frontwoman for that while hoping and praying that LE is still willing to deal behind the scenes at some level, probably for a confession in exchange for 30 or so years. If that doesn't happen, because either KC or LE won't play, they'll have to come up with something, and I'm sure they're workin' on it, but as vocally as they're bound to play the 'poor us, mean ole le won't less us have access to their stuff, it's so unfair game,' a defense that is based on tainted forensics, badmouthing cops and the old canard of 'rush to judgement' isn't really going to help them much in the end. In the light of day, after all the posturing and accusing of LE, they are still stuck with their client. And she's pip, a woman thieving, partying, cooking and sexin' it up who never reported her child missing. No matter how many autopsies the state keeps the Scheme Team away from, there is still the reality of 31 days, of the enourmous pack of lies she told, of her obstructing the police when the safety and life of her 3-yr-old "kidnapped" child was, according to her, at stake. Being kept out of 20 crime scenes still leaves the defenseless with a kidnapping babysitter who no one has ever seen or interacted with in Orlando, who has never worked, lived or hung out in one verifiable Orlando location. They do have all those 'clues' Cindy was hoping to discern, but good luck with that.
It would be suicide to go with the Zanni farse. They may have to. They may try to go with Cindy's plan that Zanni is someone else, except the most likely candidate who hasn't taken a polygraph and passed is KC. I think it's more likely they'll throw the Ants under the bus and go with the "she's mental, look at her horrible childhood, how can anyone expect her to turn out normal and not to snap when she's been living at the Ant Farm with Cindy for 22 years, you'd snap too" defense. They have people who can testify that KC told them that she'd been the 'victim' of various Ant abuse. Though not legally insance, KC is definitely mental. If she lets 'em, I think they just about have to go there. Otherwise, they're just going to have convince the jury that Giraldo is Zanni.
