In the Casey Anthony saga, WESH-Channel 2 tonight spotlighted "two big developments."They are: Anthony attorney Jose Baez will push to have her check-fraud trial moved, and he wants Judge Stan Strickland to prohibit the release tapes of her jail visits. Anthony is charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee.WESH's Bob Kealing
talked to Baez. "What happened with the other visits was horrible,"
Baez told Kealing. The state's release is "used to paint an ugly
picture of her."Attorney Richard Hornsby, who
offers legal analysis for the station, scoffed at Baez's motion. "Every
court is going to say no. We're not going to give one person special
treatment just because she happens to be in a high-profile case,"
Hornsby said. "There's no chance he's going to win on that particular
motion at all." The check-fraud trial is set for Jan. 25, and
Baez told WESH that he still wants it moved. Hornsby theorized that
Judge Strickland is waiting on a plea deal. But Hornsby doesn't expect
that to happen because prosecutors want a conviction on multiple counts
to use at her murder trial. Prosecutors today responded to defense motions to dismiss nine of 13 fraud counts, WESH anchor Jim Payne said.
"Casey's lawyers argue she is charged multiple times with the same
crimes," Payne said. "In their response, prosecutors outlined why this
is not double jeopardy.
