Who’s Qualified To Handle Casey’s Death Penalty Case?
Friday, May 08, 2009 12:39:19 AM
ORLANDO -- Prosecutors filed a motion in court Thursday, asking for attorney Jose Baez to tell them who on the Casey Anthony legal team is qualified to handle the death penalty case against the young mother.
The motion comes shortly after it was announced that Miami attorney Terrence Lenamon, who has handled capital punishment cases, is no longer on the defense team.
By Florida law, attorneys who meet certain qualifications must be present in a death penalty case.
Baez, however, filed an objection to the motion, saying that an attorney qualified to handle death penalty cases will be revealed during the next hearing later this month.
Baez’s spokeswoman has not said who the attorney is.
Anthony is currently in jail charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.
