Casey Anthony: Is this any way to talk to a reporter?

The most dramatic moment in the Casey Anthony case today didn’t happen in court. Rather it happened as WFTV-Channel 9’s Kathi Belich tried to question defense attorney Cheney Mason outside.

“You are probably the stupidest reporter on the face of the Earth,” Mason sneered at Belich.

She wanted to ask Mason about a defense motion that Chief Judge Belvin Perry was biased in rulings on the case. ”He hid his face behind his umbrella,” Belich said of Mason.

It was baffling: How does that kind of behavior help a client?

Mason and Perry were professional at a hearing today. WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer explained, “You make the motions, you make the allegations, the judge rules, you move on, it’s not personal, it’s business.”

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

From today’s short hearing, Belich highlighted that the prosecution said it plans to use 236 photos at the trial, which is scheduled to begin in May.
