Excerpt:

Orlando, FL - Day 28 of the Casey Anthony murder trial ended with no witness testimony.

Judge Belvin Perry announced around 9:45 a.m. that a legal matter separate from the issues discussed earlier in the morning forced him to recess for the day.

"Both sides concur that a legal issue has arisen unrelated to the legal issue we talked about this morning ... that would necessitate us recessing for the day," Perry said.

Perry said court would resume at 8:30 a.m. Monday.

At the beginning of the day, prosecutor Jeff Ashton requested a full Richardson hearing regarding the testimony of defense witness Dr. Kenneth Furton. A Richardson hearing is the inquiry into the surrounding facts and circumstances of an alleged discovery violation.
