Casey Anthony: WESH asks if quality of her defense has suffered

Has Casey Anthony's defense team made a tactical mistake?

WESH-Channel 2 explored that issue tonight. Criminal defense attorney Richard Hornsby told WESH's Bob Kealing that Casey's defense might have suffered because no death-qualified attorney has been asking questions in depositions.

"If you don't have a death-penalty-certified attorney ... conducting those depositions, well, it affects the quality of that deposition," Hornsby said. "Under Florida rules, you can't do a second deposition of a witness."

Casey Anthony's defense team conducted another round of depositions on Monday.

At 1 p.m., defense attorney Jose Baez and his team deposed Adriana Acevedo, an Orange County deputy who helped check out tips from meter reader Roy Kronk in August. Kronk found 2 -year-old Caylee Anthony's body in December.

Two Orange County Public Works employees, Tim Armstrong and David Dean, followed Acevedo later Monday afternoon. Kronk was on the job for Public Works when he found Caylee's remains.

UPDATED: Casey's Defense Questions Three People Under Oath
Posted: 10:42 am EDT May 11, 2009
Updated: 5:53 pm EDT May 11, 2009
<snipped>
WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer, who has tried death cases, says Baez should not be doing the depositions without a death-qualified co-counsel, because he might miss something that could help Casey avoid the death penalty if she's convicted.

Sheaffer questions whether Baez really does have a death-qualified attorney lined up to join the defense team, because he says it's highly unusual for the defense to try to create drama by delaying the identification of co-counsel. Usually someone joins the team and gets to work.

Jose Baez will be questioning even more witnesses later this week.

On Wednesday he'll talk under-oath to another deputy, a DCF worker who investigated a previous child abuse case against Casey and an employee at Universal Orlando where Casey claimed to work, but didn't.

Baez is also expected to address a battle is forming in the case against Casey Anthony surrounding the state's motion to find out who will defend her.

Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's primary attorney, does not have anyone qualified on his team to try a capital case, but newly filed court papers say he will soon. But an Orlando defense attorney said Casey Anthony's defense has already suffered because of this issue.

In a new filing, Baez tried to minimize prosecutor's concerns that right now he has no death penalty certified defense lawyer on his team.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Former Inmate Reveals The Day Casey Anthony Had To Be Restrained & More


Casey Anthony, accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, flipped out and had to be strapped down to a bed the day she learned prosecutors were seeking the death penalty against her.
In an exclusive video interview with RadarOnlne.com, Teri Thomas who witnessed the bizarre scene reveals not only what happened that day but also other never-before-heard details about Casey’s life behind bars.

Thomas, who was incarcerated under her married name Teri Narsesian, was a fellow inmate, serving a 30-day sentence for a probation violation on a bad check conviction. Yet she was housed in an area where she could clearly see Casey the day she got the news about the death penalty.
Watch the video as Thomas not only describes what Casey was screaming and how she responded, but also reveals what she saw inside Casey’s Florida Orange County jail cell that she found chilling.
Finally, her description of Casey and their interaction is something that will leave an indelible impression.

Interview Here!

Meter reader Roy Kronk's actions drew scrutiny in the Casey Anthony case today.

"Baez will try to establish doubt that the remains were really there all that time," WESH-Channel 2's Bob Kealing said. "If he can, that would mean Casey Anthony could not have put them there."

WFTV said that Baez on Wedesday would question another deputy, a DCF worker and a Universal employee.

Casey Anthony's defense is back to questioning witnesses this week, and is avoiding questions from the media.

News 13 did not hear from Baez Monday, who typically talks at the end of the day.

He snuck out the back most likely to avoid answering questions about a death qualified lawyer.

Casey Anthony: George, Cindy are public-relations flops
George and Cindy Anthony will appear on CNN's Larry King Live Wednesday

Larry King teased last night to George and Cindy Anthony's appearance on his CNN show on Wednesday. "A lot of traffic on our blog about it," King said. He asked viewers to take part in the conversation at CNN.com/LarryKing.

People who have followed the case will watch to see how King pushes the couple to answer questions. Will they say something of value? Or flub another opportunity?

"Anybody in that jackpot of trouble needs to tell their story," Sachs says. "They don't need to look like Brad Pitt. They have to be a regular person who's believable. They have erred on the side of being pathetic, but not sympathetic. It's one of the worst cases I've seen of a poor performance on a giant stage when the stakes are life and death."

A report that Casey Anthony yelled and turned angry last month is untrue, the Orange County Jail says.

The jail disputed Narsesian's story in a written statement. "There is no indication that the incident, as reported in the tabloid media, ever occurred," jail spokesman Allen Moore wrote.

He added that Anthony "has been a very cooperative inmate." It was the rare instance someone said something nice about Anthony.

Casey Anthony's defense team once had a death penalty qualified attorney, but last week he dropped the case.

Attorney Terence Lenamon now says he stopped representing Casey because he did not agree with the legal strategy of her lead attorney Jose Baez.

"We had a difference in what I believe should have been done with the approach that is mental health related," Lenamon told CNN's Nancy Grace during an interview Tuesday night.

Lenamon explained he would have had Casey plead not guilty by reason of insanity.

So here's a challenge: Give us your best question for the parents of Casey Anthony.

Phrase the question in such a way that the Anthonys can't ignore it -- or just say yes or no.

Why not help King out?

Nancy Grace had some real news last night, but she didn't linger over it. Oh, Nancy, why didn't you stop and ask for more detail?

She talked to Terence Lenamon, the South Florida lawyer and death-penalty expert who was formerly on Casey Anthony's case.

"I was brought in originally to try to get the state not to seek the death penalty," Lenamon told the HLN host. "I put a comprehensive package together. And in December, I withdrew from the case. Prior to me withdrawing, I had some significant disagreements with Mr. [Jose] Baez about what I believe the approach to the case should be. Nevertheless, I withdrew from the case."

Defense attorney Jose Baez deposed a Department of Children and Families investigator for most of Wednesday morning.

Investigator William Procknow visited Anthony twice to look into child abuse allegations; once while Anthony was in jail and later while she was out on bond. At that time, Anthony was charged with child abuse in her daughter's disappearance.

Procknow said Anthony referred to her missing daughter, Caylee Anthony, as "that child," suggesting some form of detachment.

George and Cindy Anthony are scheduled to be on "Larry King Live" Wednesday night.
