Casey Anthony's photos to be released

Today's updates

Mar 02, 2009

6:50 PM The public will be able to see images from Casey Anthony's online
picture-sharing Website soon but may have to wait to view the video of
her reacting to news of a child's remains found less than a mile from
her home, a judge ruled today.

5:19 p.m. A judge said he will decide later if the public will
get to see personal photos Casey Anthony posted on an online-picture
sharing Web site.

Casey's attorney told Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland the
photos should remain private because releasing them would hurt her
defense.

Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her
daughter, Caylee Marie, whose remains were found Dec. 11. Authorities
gathered the photos during their investigation.

"I understand the public's need to know," said attorney Jose Baez.
"However, these are issues that are irrelevant and could jeopardize my
client's right to a fair trial."

Today, a tentative date was set for Casey's trial -- Oct. 12

Casey attended the hearing but said little.

Her parents, Cindy and George Anthony, sat in the row behind Casey
Anthony during the hour-long hearing at the Orange County Courthouse.

This is the first time the Anthonys have attended a hearing in months.

Strickland also has not ruled in favor or against the release of a
videotape of Casey in jail when she learned a child's remains were
found near her home Dec. 11.

She did not know she was being recorded in the jail clinic as she watched
media reports of the discovery.

Sources told the Orlando Sentinel that she hyperventilated when she
heard about the child's remains. The remains were identified as her
daughter's almost a week later.

Baez feared the information released will taint a potential jury pool.

5 p.m.A tentative date was set for Casey's trial -- Oct. 12. Today's
hearing is over.

4:59 p.m.Strickland is delaying the release of the video until
Baez can see it. Baez will have 15 days after viewing the video to file
another motion to block the release. He will get a copy by Wednesday.
Strickland said he will issue an order about the photos soon.

4:56 p.m.Casey's attorney is arguing against the release of a
video taken of Casey in jail when she first learned remains of a child
were found. Baez said he wants to question jail officials under oath
about the circumstances of how it happened. He called what happened a
"game."

4:51 p.m.Chief Assistant State Attorney Bill Vose argued that
Casey's photos are a public record unless there is an exemption. He
said the state "doesn't have a dog in this fight."

4:47 p.m. An attorney for the Orlando Sentinel, which supports
the release of Casey's photos, said images that are part of discovery
are public record and should be released as part of the normal process
of discovery. Sentinel attorney Rachel Fugate said the newspaper
already has many of these photos, which are in the public domain, she
argued. She said the images are not going to prevent the defendant's
right to a fair trial.

4:35 p.m. Some of the photos Casey wants to keep private have
never been available to the public, her attorney just said. Casey had
several accounts with online photo-sharing sites, her attorney, Jose
Baez just said. He said releasing the photos could hurt his defense.
"I understand the public's need to know," Baez said. "However, these
are issues that are irrelevant and could jeopardize my client's right
to a fair trial."

4:21 p.m. Cindy and George Anthony are sitting in the row behind
Casey Anthony during this afternoon's hearing at the Orange County
Courthouse.

This is the first time the Anthonys have attended a hearing in months.
It's unclear why they are here today.

Check back for updates.

Casey Anthony's photos and videos will be discussed during a hearing
that just started before Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland.

Casey's attorney will argue her personal photos should not be
released to the public.

Casey's photos -- seized by the state from her online photo site,
photobucket.com -- show the 22-year-old mother in a bad light and are
irrelevant to the case, her attorney, Jose Baez, wrote in a motion that
triggered today's hearing.

He wants prosecutors only to release the pictures they plan to use at trial.

Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of
her daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.

The 2-year-old was reported missing in July. Her remains were found
less than a mile from her family home in December.

Baez also wants Strickland to stop the release of a video taken of
Casey in jail when she first learned about the discovery of a child's
remains Dec. 11.

At that point, authorities had not confirmed the remains were Caylee.
That happened less than a week later.

Detectives had arranged for jail officials to move Casey to the jail clinic,
where she was being videotaped.

She didn't know her reaction was being recorded as she watched
media reports of the discovery.

Baez said releasing the video would taint a potential jury pool before
he had the chance to file motions to seal or suppress it.
