The Casey Anthony case is likely to produce many headlines next week. Jose Baez will be busy with depositions in the case of client Casey Anthony. She is charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee.
WKMG-Channel 6, WESH-Channel 2 and WFTV-Channel 9 looked at the list of people Baez will question.
Four will be employees of the Orange County jail. "He'll almost certainly be asking them about that surveillance video, shot inside the jail's medical unit there, which reportedly shows Casey hyperventilating when she learned little Caylee's remains had been found," WKMG's Mike DeForest said.
"Two of the jailers witnessed Casey's reaction when she was told about the discovery of her daughter's body," WFTV anchor Bob Opsahl said.
DeForest theorized that Baez will use the depositions to get the video and others thrown out of court. Baez has claimed that the videos captured private meetings between him and his client.
Baez also will question Jim Hoover, a private investigator who worked for George and Cindy Anthony. "Hoover later admitted to detectives that he had tried to profit off the Anthony case by selling photos and videos, so his credibility may be called into question," DeForest said.
Baez has scheduled at least nine depositions for next week, WESH's 2 Bob Kealing reported. "Most are law enforcement and corrections officers, but some are friends of Casey," Kealing said, mentioning Amy Huizenga. Huizenga, Casey Anthony's former best friend, accused the young mother of stealing checks.
WESH anchor Martha Sugalski said: "The list of names just keeps getting longer and longer."
Kealing replied, "No doubt about it."
WKMG also reported that a former Baez client is asking for a new trial. Nelson Diaz was convicted of killing his girlfriend's 2-year-old child in Lake County and is serving a 20-year prison term. Diaz says Baez's trial performance was defective, WKMG's Jessica D'Onofrio said.
Marti Mackenzie, Baez's spokeswoman, said she imagined he had done his best job in representing Diaz.

Diaz also accuses the judge and a prosecutor of misconduct, D'Onofrio said. The judge had no comment, and the prosecutor hadn't gotten back to WKMG, D'Onofrio added.
