Excerpt:

he State vs. Casey Anthony long ago took on a life of its own in Orlando, and soon it will have a new, modern-technology element.

Casey Town.

Orange County court officials today firmed up plans for the network In Session to build a media village across the street from the Orange County Courthouse — figured to be the media epicenter for a murder trial predicted to last six to eight weeks.

In Session has agreed to build a large, semi-circular riser at the front of the lot so local and national stations and networks can broadcast gavel-to-gavel coverage from Casey Town. The riser will allow TV cameras to shoot over the top of an 8-foot chain-link fence with a backdrop of the courthouse.

Phelan said he plans to bring in portable potties, generators and phone lines for the lot, which is expected to house a dozen or so satellite trucks and many more cars during the trial.
