Created: Friday, 26 Dec 2008, 10:09 PM EST ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) -- Casey Anthony sits behind bars, charged with the murder of her daughter, Caylee Marie. Now, the attorney representing Casey's brother, tells MyFoxOrlando.com that Lee Anthony may also face charges.
"Not because he has done anything wrong," said Thomas Luka. As a former prosecutor, Luka said that the State Attorney's Office could seek to charge Lee with obstruction of justice or aiding and abetting, even if was not Lee's intention to do so.
"It's an ongoing investigation, so no one really knows where it's going to lead. Mr. Anthony, obviously wants his civil rights protected. Everyone involved in the case should have their rights covered when determining what the police can and can not do or should and should not expect from the witnesses involved in this case," said Luka.
Luka adds that neither Lee, nor George and Cindy Anthony, have been called as witnesses in the case, but they are preparing for just such a scenario.For months, Lee Anthony has been conducting his own investigation into the disappearance of Caylee, looking into leads for other suspects, Luka told MyFoxOrlando.com.
Luka contends that Lee has cooperated with detectives, even handing over a DNA sample. Luka describes his role an advisor to Lee, in determining what he should and should not say to investigators.
"For that reason, he feels at this point, now that the police are focusing completely on Casey, he wants to make sure that his own civil rights are protected," said Luka.
