Casey Anthony: What does she think of her attorneys now?

Casey Anthony: What does she think of her attorneys now?

WESH-Channel 2 took a speculative look at Casey Anthony’s defense team tonight.

Anchor Jim Payne asked, “Is Casey Anthony’s defense team in trouble and, if so, how deep?”

Chief Judge Belvin Perry blasted defense attorneys yesterday for flouting rules on providing detailed information about what their experts will offer at trial. Perry found Jose Baez in “willful violation” of providing the information.

Orlando attorney Richard Hornsby, who offers legal analysis for WESH, raised this issue: “More than anything I’ve got to wonder what Casey Anthony’s thinking when she sees her lawyers are suddenly being chastised by the judge who’s going to preside over her case.”

Which is certainly an interesting point: Has Anthony ever seemed unhappy with her attorneys? She is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, 2-year-old Caylee.

WFTV-Channel 9 reported that another hearing in the case is set for tomorrow. The issue is a defense motion about Texas EquuSearch volunteer Joe Jordan. The defense wants photographs that Jordan took of the spot where Caylee Anthony’s remains were found.

At 5, WESH’s Amanda Ober turned to a new defense motion. In this one, the defense team wants to suppress comments that Anthony made to investigators shortly after her daughter was reported missing. The defense argues that Anthony was effectively in custody of investigators and should have been told of her Miranda rights, Ober reported.

But Hornsby noted that Anthony voluntarily took detectives to Universal, so a Miranda warning wasn’t necessary. Such questioning of a mother whose child has vanished is not unusual, Hornsby added.
