Casey Anthony Loses Three More Motions: What Will The Defense Do Next?

Excerpt:

Judge Belvin Perry released three more orders today, all denying the defense motions in limine.

First is the Order Denying Motion To Preclude Phantom "Heart Sticker" Evidence. The defense had claimed that since the examiner had destroyed the evidence either inadvertently or in bad faith, it can not be used in trial. The judge explained that this situation came between the cases cited in the defense motion.

...The defense has presented nothing to establish that the state either intentionally or negligently lost or disposed of evidence or that the evidence was unavoidable consumed.
