New Motion Argues To Seal Anthony Jail Video
Hearing Scheduled For Thursday On Evidence
POSTED: 5:40 pm EDT May 27, 2009
<snipped>
Casey Anthony&#8217;s attorney filed a motion late Wednesday laying out his arguments why a jail video of Anthony should be sealed.

The 17-page motion makes several arguments to prevent the video&#8217;s release, including that it was cruel, that it violated her right to counsel, and that it invades her right to keep medical records private.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Next month will mark one year since anyone last saw Caylee Anthony alive. Her remains found in December just around the corner from her home. Her grandfather George Anthony spoke with FOX 35&#8217;s Holly Bristow and says he and his wife Cindy have good days and bad days in dealing with their tragedy.

Request to seal video of Casey Anthony's reaction filed late today

Baez questioned two Orange County corrections officers who escorted Anthony to the medical facility on Dec. 11. After interviewing them, he learned several other people he needs to question and documents he must request to prepare for a later motion to suppress. Baez wrote that the scene was set up by investigators to capture her reaction on tape.

The video lacks any evidential value, Baez wrote, and could cause problems getting a fair and unbiased jury pool.

New motion in Anthony Case
Updated: Thursday, 28 May 2009, 12:45 AM EDT
Published : Thursday, 28 May 2009, 12:45 AM EDT

Baez stated that his depositions with Lt. Tammy Uncer and Sergeant Billy Richardson paint a more accurate picture as the two were with Casey in the jail on that December day.

They told Baez that Casey was under the impression that "mental health wanted to see her."

Instead Uncer and Richardson said that the sheriff's office really wanted to capture her reaction on video.

Lt. Uncer told Baez that she was asked to do something out of the norm, which was to take notes on what inmate Anthony did when she learned the news.

Baez also quoted Uncer as saying her boss ordered her to take Casey Anthony to the medical unit before her attorney arrived.

New Attorney In Casey Case Expected To Be Revealed Thursday

However, it's the new face in court that's generating the most attention.

Casey Anthony's defense team is expected to reveal its new lead attorney.

Jose Baez has been in that role since last year when Anthony was first arrested. However, he doesn't meet the state's requirements to try a death penalty case.

The hearing is being held to determine if a videotape of Anthony's reaction to news coverage of the discovery of her daughter&#8217;s remains should be made public.

Judge Stan Strickland gave Baez one week to try to work out an arrangement with the witnesses who object to having their phone records released and provide the court with justification for the requests.

"At the end of business next Thursday, if I haven&#8217;t heard from you, I will deny the motion without prejudice so that you can refile it stating materiality and the numbers you're seeking and if all else fails I'll do an on camera inspection of the records that are provided," Strickland said.

According to a news release, Baez said he welcomes the addition of Lyon to Anthony's defense team. The team also includes Linda Kenney Baden, who concentrates in forensic evidence and Todd Macaluso, a California-based trial lawyer who concentrates in complex litigation.

UPDATED: Casey Anthony Jailhouse Video Decision Postponed
Thursday, May 28, 2009 2:15:40 PM
<snipped>
Thursday morning, Judge Stan Strickland decided to postpone a hearing on whether video of Casey Anthony hearing of the discovery of a child's remains can be released to the media.

Strickland said he needed more information before ruling on the issue, which basically centers on Florida's Right-To-Know law.

During Thursday's hearing, lawyers for the prosecution and the defense butted heads about whether all phone calls and text messages from witnesses in the case should be released to the defense.

Lawyers for three people objected to the release, including the legal representatives for Roy Kronk, a deputy and former Casey Anthony friend Amy Huizenga.

Strickland granted the motions to release the phone records for the witnesses who did not object. He gave the defense seven days to work out the objections of the three witnesses.

Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland has delayed a decision on whether to block the release of a jailhouse video showing the reaction of Casey Anthony to news that her daughter's remains
had been discovered.

Judge Strickland said he wanted input from lawyers from the media before he rules whether the recording of Casey Anthony's reaction can be made public. Anthony was charged with murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee.

The decision to release the video was put on hold, because Casey's attorney, Jose Baez, brought a late and incomplete filed motion to the court.

However, Baez will get access to two private investigators and her family's phone records because they did not contest the motion.

Baez will not get the phone records from Casey's ex-fiancé, Jesse Grund, Casey's former friend Amy Huizenga and meter reader Roy Kronk, because they did contest the motion to release the records.

Casey Anthony walked into the courtroom smiling at 10:05am Thursday, wearing a long sleeve blue shirt and striped gray slacks. Wearing her hair down, Casey smiled a few more times then turned serious as her lawyers spoke.

She has an impressive record, WFTV-Channel 9 anchor Vanessa Echols said. "Lyon will bring some much needed experience in the death penalty phase to this team," WFTV anchor Greg Warmoth said.

Lyon is a professor at DePaul University College of Law in Chicago, WESH-Channel 2 anchor Syan Rhodes said.

Lyon has tried more than 100 homicide cases, WFTV's Mark Boyle reported. "Lyon defended 30 potential capital cases. Of that 30, she has taken 19 through the penalty phase and won each and every one of them," Boyle added.

WFTV's legal analyst, Bill Sheaffer, brought up a bigger issue: Will Jose Baez will follow the incoming attorney's advice?

The newest member of Casey Anthony's defense team said there is no way Anthony's trial will start in October.

Andrea Lyon, a professor at DePaul University College of Law, was introduced at a hearing Thursday. Lyon is to handle death-penalty matters.

She said because she is just learning the case, she will need more time to prepare a defense.

Lyon also said she will prove the case does not qualify for the death penalty. She said motions will be filed in the next few months showing that the state does not have sufficient evidence to prove that Anthony's case is a death penalty case.

Casey Anthony: What does Terence Lenamon say about new attorney?
posted by halboedeker on May 28, 2009 9:51:21 AM
<snipped>
"She's a fantastic lawyer," Lenamon told me this morning. "She taught me. She's an excellent advocate."

Lenamon said he's handling a dozen death penalty cases around Florida. He said Baez made a great choice in selecting Lyon.

"She's an excellent teacher," Lenamon added. "She's one of these people who's walked the walk. I don't think she has ever lost a [death penalty] case. She's fabulous. I can't say enough good stuff about her."

Lenamon stressed that he's not a friend of Lyon's. "She is definitely a class act," he said.

What can we expect?

"Andrea Lyon, I know, is not going to take any s--- from anybody, and she'll approach it [the case] the way she thinks it should be approached," Lenamon said.

Look at our web page, where you will see a picture of Casey Anthony in court.

She's obviously been hitting the Twinkies in the jail cafeteria. Look at the way the buttons on her blouse are about to bust. She better start wearing one of those loose-fitting orange jump suits.

Talk about coddling prisoners. Good lord, cut off her access to the cafe, shut off her cable and put her on a chain gang.
