Was there a conspiracy against Casey Anthony? WESH-Ch. 2 reporter Bob Kealing explored the issue t0night.

“Was there any sort of grand scheme to try to leak information, to try to point everyone toward Casey as the suspect to the exclusion of everybody else?” Kealing asked Deputy Carlos Padilla of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

“Not at all,” Padilla said. “If you could look at this case, the circumstances speak for themselves.”

Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

Padilla, who was spokesman for former Sheriff Kevin Beary, defended the way the sheriff’s office handled the Anthony case. Padilla was deposed by the Anthony defense team today.

Kealing put a variation of the same question to defense attorney Cheney Mason, who declined to answer today. Defense attorney Jose Baez wasn’t talking, Kealing noted.
