A deposition is scheduled for Tuesday in the case against Casey Anthony via Skype with forensic entomologist Dr. Tim Huntington.
The board certified entomologist is also a biology professor at Concordia University in Nebraska.
Entomology deals with the study of insects. As WFTV has reported, investigators found coffin flies and maggots in the trunk of Casey's car.
Documents say Huntington could give counter-testimony from the state's expert entomologist at Casey's trial next year.
Meanwhile, Casey is scheduled to be in court on Monday, January 3rd for another hearing.

The examiner said she wasn't certain exactly what she saw and did not authorize law-enforcement to "allege otherwise, the story of the 'heart sticker.'"

"Law enforcement has been instrumental in manufacturing a story where there clearly was none," Baez wrote.
