Things, got off on the wrong foot for the defense this AM.
No one from the defense team informed the court they would need a video conference set up for a defense witness. So, Judge Belvin Perry put the court in a 30-minute recess to set up the equipment. The court resumed at 9:30am.

Wednesday's hearing was underway when Judge Perry got the news that an emergency loan was on its way from Tallahassee; $19.5 million to keep the courts running through the end of May.

Casey Defense Calls Evidence Guesswork, Not Science

Defense wants Judge Perry to throw out evidence from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Dr. Arpad Vass, tested the air in Anthony's trunk for traces of decomposition, which he said he detected. The test also found chloroform.

Defense attorney Dorothy Clay Sims questioned one of her team's experts, Dr. Barry Logan, for most of the day. Logan admitted that his opinions are coming from reading research papers and not from doing the work.


Anthony's defense suggested that Caylee Anthony's wet bathing suit in the trunk could cause a positive finding for chloroform in the air in the trunk of Casey's car.

"I'd like you to presume Caylee Anthony went swimming June 2, 2008, in Tony Lazarro's pool and that her mother put a wet bathing suit in the trunk of her car," Sims said to Logan.

"There are numerous papers that document chloroform in chlorinated swimming pools," Logan said.

An inmate housed in a Michigan prison is now barred from filing documents in the Casey Anthony case.

Baez said in an interview with the In Session cable that Anthony doesn't want him off the case and he blasted the local media that incorrectly reported that she did without checking with him first.

Casey Anthony attorney slams air tests as 'guesswork'

Baez launched his attack using a PowerPoint presentation. His arguments focus on Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Baez says ORNL refused to turn over the decompositions database, chromatograms and validation tests.

Baez said Dr. Vass stands to "make millions and millions of dollars" if his decomposition odor database is allowed as evidence.

Defense attorney Sims floated the hypothetical scenario that high chloroform levels came from Caylee Marie's bathing suit.

Said Caylee went swimming in the pool of Tony Lazarro, on June 2, 2008 and that Casey placed her bathing suit in the trunk of her Pontiac Sunfire.

The defense today also questioned its forensic botanist, Dr. Jane Bock, who is being used to dispute Hall's findings.

Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton did not ask her a single question.

Casey Defense Tries To Get Evidence Tossed Out
Casey back in Court Friday 4/8/2011

WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said that after listening to all the testimony and cross examination, he believes prosecutors now have the edge in convincing Judge Perry to allow the ground-breaking air test evidence, which comes from research scientist Dr. Arpad Vass, from the Oak Ridge Laboratories.

"The prosecutor will show there's no debate in the scientific community that Dr. Vass's methodology and findings are not generally accepted," Sheaffer said.

Judge Perry is expected to make a written ruling sometime later this week or next week.
