With the trial only four months away, Casey Anthony's defense team cries foul.
In what seems like a long shot, Casey Anthony's attorneys filed a motion last week to have the entire murder case against Anthony dropped. Anthony is currently awaiting trial for the murder of her daughter, Caylee.
The defense states they were never able to properly inspect the remains when Caylee's body was discovered in the woods December 11, 2008. According to their motion, the body was removed before the defense team could examine it as well as the surrounding topsoil. The team contends that someone other than Anthony placed the body less than a mile from Anthony's home because their client was in jail at the time. The defense, of course, has access to all forensic evidence from the discovery, which states Caylee's body was not moved.

Does this mean Anthony's "dream team" is running out of options for their client? We asked Robin Sax, a former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, who says, "A good defense won't file a frivolous motion like dismissing an entire case. It shows an inexperienced defense."
Sax explains that the defense can still argue that the "evidence shouldn't be trusted, but just because the body was moved doesn't mean there wasn't probable cause for the crime."
So why was Caylee's body removed so expeditiously? Sax speculates: "There was a decent amount of information at the crime scene that only the murderer would know, and it would aid in getting information out of Anthony."
Do YOU think Casey Anthony has a shot at being acquitted?

not all defense teams get to see the crime scene before bodies are removed. this is a ridiculous last ditch effort. they have access to all of the information, pictures, etc. think about it. if they had found the body and months later they arrested her that is the same information they would have then.

Good try I suppose. Even if she didn’t kill her daughter, she is guilty of not reporting her missing.

acquitted? oh hells NO!!!!

I pray the case doesn’t get thrown out.

It deffinately will not be thrown out. I really think she just may be the youngest female ever to get the death penalty since there is proof that this was premeditated murder.

No way is this baby killer gonna get acquitted. She is guilty, guilty, guilty and the jury will convict her with at least the lesser of two evils, Life Without Parole. She could also get the death penalty, either way I would be happy. The defense have nothing, and are grasping at straws. Meanwhile the baby killer’s parents, SINdy and her puppet hubby, Georgette are cashing in on their murdered granddaughter with the lastest cash flow coming from a show “48 hrs Mystery” or something like that. There is no mystery about Caylee. She was murdered by Monster Mom. The only mystery is why SINdy and Georgette aren’t keeping her company behind bars. They have obstructed justice and perjured themselves since day 1. Guess the prosecutors are gonna fry the big fish first (Casey), then look after going after her parents. Grab the popcorn everybody. I think that we can look forward to many Anthony trials, both criminal and civil. JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE!!!

The defense has a really weak case and that is becoming more and more clear.

If this case gets thrown out, which I doubt, I will have lost all of my trust in the legal system. There is so much trickery on the part of the defense team and then the attorney who is a professor in a school gets extra time to finish her classes in order to be on the dream team? What kind of crap is that? This whole thing has cost so much time and money already when will it end?

HA….. What a joke. No way on this planet or universe would any judge dismiss this case. If judge strickland dismissed this case his career as a judge will be over, not to mention someone might try and do away with him for dismissing a case like this. I still have alot of questions as to if Caylee’s body was moved there at a latter time, but even if it was it does not mean Casey didn’t kill Caylee. All that means is that someone else is involved. I am also not 100% convinced that this was pre-meditated murder. I almost believe at this point that this was an accident or a sudden fit of rage from Casey and she figured that she may as well get her last month of partying in seeing that it will be the last month of her entire life that she will see a night club or anything else thats enjoyabe again. I am however at this point leaning towards that it was murder out of a sudden fit of rage because I believe that if it was an accident she would have called 911 immedietly. Casey knows that she is going to found guilty of something in regards to her daughter death and she is hoping on a technicality to get her off. There is only one thing that I am 100% sure of and that is Casey will not get a death sentence because there is no way they will ever beable to prove with a 100% certainty that this was pre-meditated.

CASEY ANTHONY IS GUILTY
- Kat
Running out of options?? maybe?? I think they know they can’t defend her in court, I mean how much can die lie in court/// Every point they will have to make in court will have to be a lie. How much can they lie for her to cover up her tracks. I think she’s going down, and with the lethal dose.
