One of former Orange County sheriff Kevin Beary's public information officers is among those due to give sworn depositions in the case against Casey Anthony next week.
<snipped> Given Bondi's notoriety in Tampa prior to her election, defense attorney Richard Hornsby said Anthony's defense team has room to argue that jurors should not be chosen from that area. Hornsby is not connected to the Anthony case.
"She's excluded that as a venue in my opinion to go to find jurors," Hornsby said. "It gives the defense more ammunition to argue for more specific venues to pick the jury from."
Hornsby said Bondi should cut off any further legal analysis because it opens the door for other defense motions.
But former prosecutor Jeff Dean told Kealing that anything the supervisor observed could be used at trial — as long as the jail official wasn’t questioning Anthony. “People make spontaneous statements to police all the time that are in custody and they’re used against them every day,” Dean said.
What do you think? Will the judge allow the evidence?
"You have to be in custody and being interrogated," said Jeff Dean. "People make spontaneous statements to the police all the time who are in custody and they're used against them every day."
Anthony's reaction occurred before Unser asked her if she wanted to see a mental health counselor.
Legal experts disagree on whether her apparently spontaneous reactions before she was questioned will be introduced to the jury.
