Excerpt:

The judge presiding over Casey Anthony's first-degree murder case on Friday denied an attempt by the defense to get a rehearing on a series of motions aimed at tossing key evidence from the trial.

In denying the motion, Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry did not address the defense's claims that he was biased and made errors in his earlier rulings.

He simply denied the order for a rehearing, adding that, "No other motions for rehearing shall be considered."

Perry's ruling came one day after attorney Cheney Mason filed a motion requesting a rehearing on the defense's earlier attempts to exclude certain evidence from the trial, including statements Anthony made to law enforcement.
