Is the Casey Anthony camp considering a new strategy?

Since day one of the investigation into the disappearance of Caylee Anthony, her mother Casey has maintained that a nanny named "Zanny" was responsible. Even when the toddler's remains were found less than a quarter mile from her own home, the 22-year-old mother never wavered from her claim. And, up until now, neither have her lawyers. Now that appears to be changing.
Late Friday afternoon, Anthony's defense attorney Jose Baez filed a motion seeking more information about an ex-boyfriend of Anthony's who posted a picture a picture on the social networking site MySpace with the caption "Win her over with chloroform."
Searches for "chloroform" and "how to make chloroform" were found on Anthony's computer and traces were found in the trunk of her car where investigators say Caylee's body had been. Conventional wisdom has been that Casey sedated Caylee with the a lethal dose of the chemical compound.
The ex-boyfriend, Ricardo Morales, has already told an investigators he never spoke with Anthony about chloroform and he didn't remember her ever asking about it. Morales said he found the photo online and thought it was funny, but he removed it from his MySpace account after Anthony was arrested.
Could it be that now the Anthony camp are going to start pointing blame at Casey's group of friends -- some with connections to drugs -- as being directly involved in little Caylee's death? Information leaked from George Anthony's possible suicide note last week suggests the grandfather still believes his daughter is innocent and hinted at Anthony's friends having a connection to his granddaughter's death.
Diana Tennis, a defense attorney who appeared on FOX News "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren," has another suggestion for the defense: "I hope that her lawyer is looking into, again, the mental health aspect of this, because that may be what her defense needs."
Do you think the Baez will ditch the "Zanny the Nanny" defense?
