Excerpt:
Attorneys for Casey Anthony submitted three new arguments against reasons that would be used to secure a death sentence in the child murder case.
The documents received by Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry's office Friday reiterate earlier arguments about the constitutionality of three aggravating circumstances that prosecutors want to use to win a death sentence.
One speaks about a capital felony — the murder — being committed while Anthony engaged in another felony, in this case aggravated child abuse.
. . . . .
The second circumstance questions whether 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony's death "especially heinous, atrocious or cruel," as defined in Florida's death penalty statute.
. . . . .
The third aggravator involves the capital felony, whether it was a homicide and "committed in a cold, calculated and premeditated manner without any pretense of moral or legal justification," as defined in the statute.
