ORLANDO, Florida (CNN) -- A lawyer for Casey Anthony said Thursday in a court filing that he doesn't want the parents of the accused child killer in the courtroom during her first-degree murder trial.
The defense objected to a motion from the parents -- George and Cindy Anthony -- who had asked Orange County Superior Court Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. that they be exempted from the rule of sequestration for relatives of the victim.
The parents have the right to attend all crucial stages of the proceedings, but "this right must yield to the defendant's right to a fair trial," the defense motion said, citing a ruling in another case.
