Casey Anthony: Could competency news mean shell take the stand?
"Snip" posted by halboedeker on June, 27 2011
The news stunned TV analysts.
Those reports have been sealed by the judge.
Why would the defense ask for that? DeForest said. He cited speculation that Anthony may be getting ready to testify.
WFTV-Channel 9 legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said competency was a legitimate issue. Someone on that defense team probably saw something that alerted them to the fact that she just wasnt altogether being able to participate in her defense, Sheaffer said. Whether that was legitimate on Caseys part is another question, but now that will serve to be an issue on appeal. If shes convicted, the defense will argue she couldnt meaningfully participate in her defense.
WOFL-Channel 35s Shannon Butler was surprised by the competency evaluation coming so late in the trial.
WOFL legal analyst Diana Tennis speculated that Anthony might have changed her story on her attorneys.
What do you think?
