Thanks. Mental Status…that to me is a joke. Clearly in every photo from that 30 day timeframe (before she reported her missing) she is pissing on the ground, getting a tattoo or drinking. I am thinking she was having a freaking blast during that time, childfree.
I strongly feel she is all about attention, and likes to have the focus on her.
Casey Anthony and her defense team will be back in court this afternoon, where lawyers will argue over mental-health examinations.
Prosecutors want to prohibit any reference to or mention of the findings of two defense experts, Dr. Jeffrey Danziger and Dr. William Weitz.
Their reports were provided to the prosecution late last month, but have not been released publicly.
Prosecutor Jeff Ashton's motion said the doctors' reports and a defense motion to add them as witnesses "reveal that the testimony does not relate to a legal defense to any of the charges contained in the indictment."
The motion also said the reports are based entirely on statements made to them by Anthony, and that the doctors didn't diagnose Anthony "as suffering from any clinical or personality disorders as recognized by the American Psychiatric Association."
But according to another motion filed by the state Thursday, the defense withdrew Danziger's name as a witness on Wednesday.
In that motion, prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick asks the court to unseal Danziger and Weitz' depositions.
The prosecutor argued that in order for the state "to fully evaluate the claims and opinions revealed in the depositions, it will be necessary to show the depositions to select third parties."
"As was done with the autopsy and crime scene photographs, the Court can place restrictions on the dissemination of information so as to not inhibit the ability of any party to investigate the statements made in deposition," the state's motion said.
Lawyers are also slated to argue over another motion filed by the state — prosecutors want the court to order Anthony to submit to one of their mental health experts.
In response, Anthony's defense team filed a motion objecting to any state-sponsored mental health examination.
The defense said that should the court require Anthony be evaluated by a state mental-health expert, her attorneys want to be present during that exam. If that's the case, the defense also said, they request that all inquiries by the state's expert be limited to the area of the defense's rebuttal of consciousness of guilty.
i'll bet if there is a penalty phase after the guilt phase, the defense will be crying mental issues to save her from death penalty.
hahaha bozo tried to get the judge to disallow cameras in the courtroom for the trial. good luck with that assclown!
OS:
Casey Anthony lied about a nanny taking Caylee, a former Anthony attorney tells CBS’ ”48 Hours Mystery.”
CBS shared that revealing interview last night. When asked about the nanny, Linda Kenney Baden says, “I think everyone knows that that was a lie.”
Kenney Baden also tells correspondent Troy Roberts that Anthony’s “actions have been her own worst enemy.” Kenney Baden left the case in October, citing financial reasons.
The ”48 Hours Mystery” airs at 10 p.m. Saturday
Linda Kenney Baden probably violated the canon of ethics with that one. oh well. let someone complain to the BAR.
48 HOURS is going to do a sympathy for casey Sat. night.

Casey Anthony and her defense team lost a key ruling today after a judge decided that pictures of heart-shaped stickers and Anthony's tattoo might be used at her trial.
Judge Belvin Perry's ruling means the evidence could be used at trial but it does not mean they are automatically in.
When the trial starts, the state will still have to go through the normal process of admitting evidence.
Perry also left open the possibility that defense attorney Jose Baez could argue again against using the evidence if he establishes the proper foundation for a legal argument.
Residue from a heart-shaped sticker was found on duct tape stretched across Caylee Marie Anthony's mouth.
Prosecutors have argued the timing and nature of the tattoo itself are "relevant and probative."
Caylee Marie was last seen June 16, 2008. She was not reported missing until July 15, 2008.
It was during that time period that Anthony received the tattoo: "La Bella Vita," an Italian expression for "The Beautiful Life" or "The Good Life."
Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the toddler's death.
Epitaph or new beginning?
"The tattoo is relevant to show the defendant's state of mind during this time period, and the inscription obtained can certainly be read either as an epitaph for her daughter, or signaling a new beginning for herself," the state argues in court papers.
Caylee's remains were found in December 2008 -- five months after she was reported missing -- in woods less than a mile from her family home in east Orange County.
Baez and other members of the defense team have been fighting to exclude evidence of the tattoo and heart-shaped sticker from her trial.
The residue from a heart-shaped sticker couldn't be detected after FBI officials processed the evidence for fingerprints, according to court documents.
And, FBI officials failed to take a picture of the residue before it was destroyed. Days after the remains were found, deputies collected various heart stickers from Anthony's home. A pink heart sticker also was found in the area where Caylee's remains were found.
Defense witnesses withdrawn
Earlier today, Baez said he is withdrawing expert Dr. William Weitz, ending the debate about whether testimony from him and another expert, Dr. Jeffrey Danziger,
Prosecutors wanted to prohibit any reference to or mention of the findings of Danziger William Weitz.
Their reports were provided to the prosecution late last month, but have not been released publicly.
Prosecutor Jeff Ashton's motion said the doctors' reports and a defense motion to add them as witnesses "reveal that the testimony does not relate to a legal defense to any of the charges contained in the indictment."
The motion also said the reports are based entirely on statements made to them by Anthony, and that the doctors didn't diagnose Anthony "as suffering from any clinical or personality disorders as recognized by the American Psychiatric Association."

countdown to trial is on! YAY!
LC - Did you get to see the program? I would love to know what they had to share about the case!!
i did see it. it rehashed the evidence and story. it had a mock jury who didn't find casey guilty of 1st degree murder, but was able to convict on a lesser charge.
i thought it was an exercise in manipulation. they don't have any clue what the prosecution will present. it was just to garner ratings.
you can watch '48 Hours' full episodes online at their site.

ORLANDO --
Judge Belvin Perry ruled Thursday that the stain found in Casey Anthony's car trunk will be allowed in the trial.
Perry is still expected to hand down other rulings on several motions regarding numerous pieces of key evidence, including air samples from Casey's car, the presence of chloroform in the trunk and her alleged computer search for "how to make chloroform."
These decisions will directly impact how each side proceeds through the trial. (won't be today)
The judge is also expected to make a decision about which, if any, of the following evidence should be allowed to be presented during Casey's murder trial:
* Heart-shaped sticker found near Caylee Anthony's remains
* Police dog alerts indicating a dead body in her car, and around the Anthony home.
Casey's mother, Cindy the lying media whore, first claimed the trunk smelled like a dead body. She later retracted that statement, saying the smell was from rotting pizza.

Ha. When have we known old pizza to draw maggots? Damn, my
kids' rooms would be maggotvile. (And I am a bit of a neat freak, but
there indeed has been some found behind beds and under sofas.) Alas
no maggots, just dry wrinkly turdy things.
.............Thanks for enlightening the masses about maggots, they are the supreme protein supplement.

The judge in the Casey Anthony case issued several key orders Tuesday about evidence prosecutors want to use against her in next month's first-degree murder trial, mostly ruling in favor of the state.
Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry ruled that evidence of heart-shaped residue spotted on duct tape that covered 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony's mouth could be admissible at trial, so long as the state lays the proper argument for the item, as is required of all evidence.
That piece of evidence is significant because investigators also found heart-shaped stickers at the home Anthony and Caylee shared with their family.
Perry also denied a defense motion to exclude expert testimony about "post-mortem banding" on a single strand of hair found in Anthony's car.
