Casey Anthony: Will jurors see "party pics?"

The rapid pace in the Casey Anthony case continues Monday morning under new judge Belvin Perry Jr.
Perry will hear seven defense motions including one to keep the infamous "party pictures" from being seen by the jury.

The racy photos show Casey and her friends engaged in drunken debauchery.  Some show Casey partying in an Orlando night club during the time that her daughter was missing.

Defense attorneys say viewing the pictures would cause jurors to form a prejudice. 

"It has an incredible, powerful influence on the jurors," said San Diego defense attorney Allen Bloom.

He represented Cynthia Sommer, who was convicted of poisoning her husband with arsenic.  Prosecutors told the jury she partied, slept around and used life insurance money to get breast implants.

"I can tell you right now, the district attorney in San Diego wishes they hadn't," Bloom said.

A judge overturned the ruling, saying the evidence about her lifestyle unduly influenced the jury.  Bloom says prosecutors in the Casey Anthony case should be careful not to make the same mistake.

"Go with the evidence that they have which is evidence, not character assignation," he said.
Pictures that were taken before Caylee went missing are "completely irrelevant," Bloom said.  The rest are subject to the judge's interpretation.

Also Monday, the judge will hear a defense motion seeking a change of venue.  Perry previously said he would consider plucking jurors from another location and bringing them to Orlando for the trial.  He said moving the trial itself would be to expensive.

Casey Anthony case: Slew of defense motions set to be argued today
The legal requests range from sealing jail logs to keeping her friends' opinions of her out of the trial.
 By Sarah Lundy, Orlando Sentinel

7:04 a.m. EDT, May 10, 2010
Casey Anthony will appear in court today as her attorneys and prosecutors hash out a string of legal motions — some of which have been lingering in the court file for months.

Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry cleared his calendar for today and Tuesday to hear arguments on various topics, such as from where the jury will be selected to whether the death penalty is unconstitutional.

This is part of the judge's effort to keep the case on track for trial in May 2011.

Casey Anthony, 24, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie.

It hasn't been the typical murder case. It started out as a missing-child case after the toddler was reported missing in July 2008.

In October — with no body found — a grand jury indicted Casey Anthony on first-degree murder. At that point, the state elected not to seek the death penalty.

Two months later in December, Caylee's skeletal remains were found less than a mile from her family home in east Orange County. A medical examiner ruled her death a homicide but could not say how the child died.

By April, prosecutors changed their minds, announcing they were going to seek the death penalty against Casey Anthony.

Experts say death cases are different. It involves more of everything —more trial preparation, more expenses and more motions filed.

Today, Perry has seven motions on various topics set to be argued. Tuesday's hearing will focus on death-penalty motions.

Here's today's line-up:
• Change of Venue

Casey Anthony's attorneys do not think their client can receive a fair trial in Central Florida. Her case has attracted intense media coverage since her initial arrest in July 2008.

"The Orlando community's involvement in this case and its hostility towards Miss Anthony create an environment in which it would be difficult for a juror to render a verdict based solely on the evidence presented at trial," her defense attorney, Jose Baez, wrote in a motion filed in September.

Perry has told the attorneys if he grants the change of venue that he and the lawyers will travel to another Florida county to pick a 12-member jury plus alternates. The jury will leave their families and come to Orange County where the trial, which is expected to last four to seven weeks, will be held.

•Jail logs

Casey Anthony's attorneys want the judge to keep the list of names of people who visit her in jail private. Visitation logs are public record unless sealed by a judge.

Her legal team claims the media is "constantly aware of any visits that the defendant has." The identity of certain defense experts who see her in jail can spawn "unfounded speculation." That hampers the defense's preparation for trial.

•Party Pictures
After Casey Anthony's arrest, dozens of pictures taken from various online social-networking sites have emerged and portray her as a "party girl." The photos show the young mother partying with friends in local nightclubs, bars and wild house parties. Most of the pictures were taken before Caylee disappeared.

Her defense fears if the prosecutors presents these photos to a jury it "would serve no purpose other than to further inflame the jury against Miss Anthony." Her attorneys call these photos irrelevant to the case and want prosecutors — if they have plans to use them — to show why they are material.

•Gossip and Innuendo

Her legal team want to keep out dozens of statements about Anthony and her family made by friends and family — statements the defense contends are hearsay. Her attorneys also don't want prosecutors questioning Anthony's friends and acquaintances on the stand about her truthfulness and motives.

•Other people's opinions

As part of the case, investigators have questioned dozens of people who know Casey Anthony. These friends and acquaintances offered their opinions of Casey Anthony's character, motives and undisclosed intentions and character of truthfulness. These opinions should not be admissible in court, her attorneys argue.

•Toss indictment

Her attorneys argue in a motion that Casey Anthony was indicted on several charges, including premeditated murder and criminal neglect of her daughter. But they say there is so little information on the indictment that the legal team can't possibly defend her.
The failure to allege any facts in the indictment violates state's criminal procedures, which "explicitly prescribes that a charging instrument set out the 'essential facts constituting the offense charged,'" the motion says.

•More information

Casey Anthony's legal team has continued to ask for various records, including documents from various forensic labs, communications between law enforcement officials and those labs.

It's unclear what information they are seeking in this legal request.

Good morning, Monkeys!  I would like to wish all the mothers (and those who have had them,)
a belated Happy Mother's Day.   Looks like a big day in court.  I hope Judge P. deals with Baez and Co. swiftly.  I wonder if Baez is over his snit yet?

Hearing Slated In Casey Anthony Case
Jail Visitor Logs, Party Pictures, Change Of Venue Amid Motions To Be Heard

POSTED: 6:04 am EDT May 10, 2010
UPDATED: 6:37 am EDT May 10, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. --
It is another big day Monday in the case against Casey Anthony as the new judge continues to waste no time.

Judge Belvin Perry will hear a total of seven motions filed by the defense in a hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. at the Orange County courthouse.

The defense wants to seal jail visitor logs, eliminate evidence they are calling irrelevant -- evidence like pictures of Anthony partying when her daughter Caylee was missing. The issue of change of venue will also be heard.

Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, has said he doesn't feel his client could get a fair trial in Orlando because of the media attention the case has drawn.
"One of the things that the court must take into consideration is you cannot force a change of venue on someone," Perry said.

Judge Perry said he would would need to find out if the chief judge in a potential new district has the the capability of handling such a high profile case.

Anthony is being held on no bond at the Orange County jail charged with murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

Caylee's remains were found in a wooded area near the Anthony family home in December 2008.

Anthony maintains a nanny by the name of Zenaida Gonzalez kidnapped Caylee, then 2 years old.
