ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey
Anthony's attorney said he will move forward with asking that her check
fraud trial be moved and said he wants the jail not to videotape future
visits.The check fraud trial is scheduled for January. Anthony
is currently in the Orange County jail awaiting a murder trial in
connection with the death of her daughter, Caylee.Prosecutors
said surveillance tapes show Anthony passing bad check after check,
bleeding her friend's account dry. Due to pre-trial publicity Jose Baez
said he still wants the check fraud trial moved. Defense attorney
Richard Hornsby said it's likely Judge Stan Strickland is waiting as
long as he can in case of a possible plea deal.But Hornsby said
he doesn't expect a plea. Prosecutors want multiple fraud convictions
so they can use that against Casey in her murder trial."They want to be able to impeach Casey Anthony on any statements attributed to her in her murder case," he said.Baez also said he hopes the defense can persuade Strickland to limit or eliminate videos of Anthony's jail visits."What happened with the other visits was horrible," Baez said.He said the state's release of those videos "is used to paint an ugly picture of her."Hornsby said that argument won't work."Every
court is going to say, 'No, we're not going to give special treatment
just because she happens to be in a high profile case.' No chance he's
going to win on this particular motion at all," he said.Hornsby
said it's not too late for Baez and his team to have the check fraud
charges delayed and tried with the murder case. That would eliminate
any advantage prosecutors would have in trying this fraud case earlier.
