Casey Anthony: WESH examines ‘New Defense Strategy’ — but is it new?
Caylee Anthony
New in Casey Anthony reporting tonight:
***WESH’s Bob Kealing highlighted what the station described as a “New Defense Strategy,” which probably isn’t new to anyone following the case closely.
Kealing turned to local attorney Richard Hornsby to explain that strategy: Point to a third party that put Caylee’s remains in the woods. “It rebuts what the state has been saying this whole time,” Hornsby said.
Yet that strategy could fall apart and hurt the defense if DNA of a third party isn’t found, Hornsby added.
Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.
On Monday and Tuesday, the defense team will look at documents of Texas EquuSearch, the group that searched for Caylee.
“We now know prosecutors already have several sworn statements from Texas EquuSearch volunteers who say that that key area was submerged, increasing the likelihood that Casey put the remains there before the rains came and she was locked up,” Kealing concluded.
