ORLANDO, Fla. -– Casey Anthony gave her lawyers enough concern about her ability to aid her defense that Judge Perry abruptly cancelled the scheduled extended Saturday trial session on June 25. Tapping three Florida psychologists to evaluate Anthony, jailed since August, 2008, the defendant submitted to competency examinations on Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26.

Florida mental health professionals who examined Casey Anthony to determine if she meets competency guidelines were: Dr. Harry A. McClaren, a Chattahoochee forensic psychologist, Dr. Daniel Tressler, an Altamonte Springs psychologist and Dr. Ryan C.W. Hall of Lake Mary, a forensic psychologist.
