Prosecution wants to question witnesses in case
Prosecutors want Casey Anthony's defense team to prove how the state prevented them and their experts from properly inspecting the scene where her daughter's remains were found, according to records filed in court today.
Assistant state attorney Jeff Ashton wrote a five-page response to the defense's request last week to dismiss the case because of issues with access to the crime scene. The defense claims its experts couldn't examine the area and the evidence and wouldn't be able to challenge the state's findings.
Anthony, 23, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie, who disappeared last summer. Anthony faces the death penalty....
State investigators and experts examined the crime scene, removing foliage and sifting through dirt, for more than a week.
The defense team and its experts were allowed to inspect the area Dec. 19.
Ashton wrote how it was "baffling" that the defense filed the request before their experts examined the evidence already collected.
"What are noticeably absent are the affidavits from their panel of celebrity experts, who appeared for a photo opportunity at the crime scene, indicating that they have examined the available evidence and photographs and find they are insufficient to allow them to arrive at reliable conclusions which might challenge those of the state's experts," the prosecutor wrote.
The state asked a list of the defense witness and for a hearing so prosecutors could cross-examine them. They also want the opportunity to depose the witnesses before the hearing.
"It is clear this matter will require a lengthy evidentiary hearing with the burden of proof on the defendant," Ashton wrote.
No hearing date has been set.
