Casey Anthony: Defense probes investigators on media leaks
Casey Anthony's defense team repeatedly asked about who was talking to reporters about the first-degree murder case.

Excerpt:
When he questioned sheriff's detectives, crime-scene investigators and even an FBI agent about their respective involvement in the Casey Anthony case, defense attorney Jose Baez made a point to ask each about media leaks.
Did they talk to reporters? Did they know who did? Was the Orange County Sheriff's Office investigating the leaks?
While Baez has seemed, at times, preoccupied with the media, legal experts say the defense may be trying to find out whether rogue investigators worked the case or show whether Anthony's due-process rights were violated.
"Do I think he has a legitimate interest from a legal standpoint in inquiring of law enforcement and witnesses, 'Have you talked to the press? Did you leak this?' Yeah," said Orlando attorney Bill Sheaffer, who provides legal analysis on the case for WFTV-Channel 9. "I think, in general, the defense preoccupation with the press is a little abnormal. But it's of their own making."
