Casey Anthony: Just how smart is the defense team?
posted by halboedeker on June, 15 2011 10:14 PM
WKMG-Channel 6 had the interview in the Casey Anthony case that everyone was talking about today.
Reporter Tony Pipitone talked to Dr. Werner Spitz, a forensic pathologist who is a witness for the defense. Spitz blasted Dr. Jan Garavaglia’s autopsy of Caylee Anthony for reaching an unfounded conclusion that the manner of death was homicide. Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in Caylee’s death.
Pipitone later told anchor Lauren Rowe that he was surprised how frank Spitz was. “He really went into great detail with me,” Pipitone said.
WKMG legal analyst Mark NeJame was astonished that the defense allowed the interview. “What the defense has done throughout this case is signal their defense to the prosecution, giving them the opportunity to prepare and get ready,” NeJame said. “It’s happened once again. You can rest assured these very, very able and excellent prosecutors are going to listen to every word of Tony’s interview and then they’re going to prepare even better for the cross examination of this doctor. I don’t understand it for the life of me.”
The defense came in for more criticism from WESH-Channel 2 legal analyst Richard Hornsby.
The issue: the sudden fascination with convicted kidnapper Vasco Thompson. The defense was saying Thompson and George Anthony, Casey’s father, were in phone contact the day before Caylee was reported missing. George Anthony’s lawyer said his client didn’t know the man.
Hornsby suggested that Thompson won’t be a big deal. “This issue has been known since the very beginning of the case,” Hornbsy said. “It appears Mr. Thompson’s phone number shows up in public data bases and it relates to a number George called.” Hornsby said it was simply “a mix-up in the data base.”
Hornsby blasted the defense: “What have they been doing? What other issues have they missed? It’s just another thing they’ve done wrong along the way. This is the wrong time in a death-penalty case to be discovering this witness and not even knowing what he may say, which is the bigger issue. They don’t what he’ll say.”
The defense starts presenting its case Thursday.
