Excerpt:

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The state wants a mental health expert to examine Casey Anthony before her first-degree murder trial in the death of her daughter, and the judge is likely to grant that request.

Two defense experts who already examined Anthony could be called to explain why she did not call police, but instead partied and got a tattoo, during the month her daughter, Caylee Anthony, was missing before reporting it to authorities. The state will argue that while Anthony was concocting a story about a nanny taking Caylee, the toddler was already dead.

As a result, the state wants its own expert to have know what was going on in Anthony's head. The subject was discussed during a hearing on Friday.
