Again, in yet another last minute filing, Casey Anthony’s defense team filed additional new motions in the case.
Attorney Jose Baez wants all of the fingerprint-related evidence and any DNA reports that show Casey’s former fiancé Jesse Grund was not Caylee’s Father. Baez is also requesting material regarding the decomposing hair that was found in the trunk of Casey’s car.
In addition to Baez's motions, the Orange County Corrections Departments also filed a motion. It wants clarification about when Casey Anthony is required to attend court hearings.
There is an ongoing dispute between Baez and Judge Stan Strickland on Casey attending hearings on the case. Strickland previously ruled that Casey Anthony is ordered to be present at all hearings concerning her case. Baez filed a last minute motion Tuesday, stating Strickland's ruling interferes with Casey's right to waive hearing appearances.
Strickland is holding steadfast to his ruling for the time being, stating that he sees this as an attempt for later appeals. In fact, after the case is concluded, and if Casey is found guilty on charges, an ineffective assistance of counsel, or IAC, could be filed immediately concerning this matter.
This story is just breaking and the motion is not available at this time. When it becomes available, it will be posted.
