WFTV ORLANDO, Fla. -- There is a shift of the blame in the case against Casey Anthony. Documents released only to WFTV Monday show, for the first time, Casey's lawyers are investigating her father. WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said the defense may be trying to discredit him, or possibly blame george anthony.
The documents WFTV obtained show how the defense is spending taxpayer money. Some of the ways the lawyers are spending that limited money is investigating George Anthony.
George testified against his daughter in her grand jury hearing.
The defense has spent about $4,000 of taxpayers' money so far on Casey's defense, and most of it on its private investigator.
Records obtained by WFTV show the defense is investigating George Anthony's suicide attempt

Now, the defense team could be doing it to Casey Anthony’s father, trying to discredit George. Records show her defense team's private eye has investigated George's suicide attempt the month after Caylee was found.
“The defense will have to discredit George, because George has some information that is damning to the defense,” Sheaffer said (full interview) .
Sheaffer says George's testimony helped prosecutors get a first-degree murder indictment against Casey even before her daughter's body was found. George said her car trunk smelled like a dead body and that, days after Caylee disappeared, Casey came home unexpectedly and prevented George from going into the trunk of her car.
At taxpayers' expense, the defense team spent hours at the Hawaii Motel in Daytona where George tried to take his own life. They also were at the Daytona Beach Police Department getting records.
“They would want to show he was mentally unstable,” ::crazy:

Sheaffer says the defense might go even farther to try to make some jurors wonder whether George is the murderer; Casey could have laid the groundwork by accusing her father of sexually abusing her.
“He was the last person to see Caylee, along with Casey. The duct tape came from his house. The heart stickers came from his house,” Sheaffer said.
If the defense can't convince a jury that George or someone else covered Caylee's face with duct tape and stuck a heart sticker over her mouth, they might try to use George's suicide attempt to portray Casey's family as dysfunctional to spare her from a possible death sentence.::lol:: the entire lot is fucking nuts!
