Caylee Anthony case: Defense attempts to eliminate lies and lays
Several motions were filed by the defense yesterday to attempt to preclude damaging information about Casey Anthony in the upcoming murder trial. Let’s take a look at these.

Motion in Limine Regarding any Testimony that Defendant has History of Lying or Stealing – the request boils down to trying to preclude any statements made by friends and/or family about Casey being a liar and/or thief (i.e. prior bad acts). Keep in mind that “prior” will be argued to start retroactive to June 16th, 2008 because the state is going to make the claim that is the day Caylee Anthony was murdered and every relevant lie on or past that date will be toward a consciousness of guilt and an attempt to cover up that Caylee had been murdered and dumped in a swamp versus having the time of her life at [fill in the amusement park]. Most likely this motion will be granted for any behavior prior to June 16th, 2008….but the state will fight hard to keep the covering lies told by Casey Anthony from June 16th on in as evidence of the intentional cover-up of her crime.
