<snipped> The defense team for Casey Anthony has filed a motion that argues prosecutors in the case chose to pursue the death penalty against their client because they knew it would break her financially.
Jeff Dowdy has defended many high-profile death penalty defendants, including the man behind a massacre in Deltona that claimed six lives. The defendant was Troy Victorino. "The whole case in its entirety was $1.1 million, but that was with four co-defendants and eight attorneys ... That was just for the defense," Dowdy said.
Another legal expert said he see little chance the motion will succeed. He believes Anthony's defense is making sure they've put anything they can think of on the record to increase the possibility of a successful post-conviction appeal. *More at link!
