Casey Anthony Back in Orlando Courtroom, Attorney Seeking Access to Evidence

Casey Anthony was back in an Orlando courtroom on Thursday, sitting beside her attorney, Jose Baez, who was requesting the judge order the prosecution to turn over evidence that has been withheld from the defense.

 

Anthony has been accused of first-degree murder in the death of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony. Casey has been jailed on those charges and has had a tentative trial date set for Oct. 12.

 

On Thursday Anthony’s attorney argued the DNA evidence and investigative reports gathered by the prosecution should be accessible to the defense.

 

Casey Anthony has maintained that she dropped Caylee off with a babysitter and when she returned both were gone. That was believed to have been in June but Casey didn’t report Caylee missing for more than a month and investigators quickly began to focus on the 22-year-old mother. After gathering evidence from her home and vehicle prosecutors determined she was responsible for Caylee’s death and pursued first-degree murder charges prior to Caylee’s body being discovered.

 

In December the remains of Caylee Anthony were found less than a half mile from the home she lived in with her mother and grandparents. Several pieces of evidence found at the scene were then tied to the home.
