<snipped> She also wrote on the Momtective blog that she posted the videos to keep them from being sold top raise money for the Anthony defense fund. "I certainly don’t see a loving mother when I watch the videos of Casey playing with Caylee," the blogger wrote in a post dated Saturday on Momtective. "To me Casey looks very uncomfortable. Kind of like she’s trying not to break a nail, muse her hair, or smudge her make-up." In an earlier post, the blogger, who does not give her name, said another member of Websleuths.com, a popular Internet forum on crime, found the videos in September 2008.
UPDATED: State Questions Casey's Ability To Fund Defense Attorney Baez Calls Conflict Of Interest Allegations 'Witch Hunt'

<snipped> They want Judge Stan Strickland to require Baez to produce all deposit records, retainer agreements and licensing arrangements. If any of these dealings exist, prosecutors want Casey Anthony to sign a waiver saying she's aware of them. Baez said he's been consulting an ethics lawyer all the way. Tomorrow he said he'll file a sworn motion repeating his stance that he's done nothing unethical.
Repeatedly, Baez has refused to say who is paying for her legal dream team. He said it's nobody's business. For their part, prosecutors said they "are not trying to block Baez from representing Casey."
On Friday, Baez is set to depose Richard Kane, the Orange County deputy who may have missed a chance to find Caylee's remains last August.
Attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez said Monday they are continuing to comb through the deposition of Casey Anthony's brother, Lee, to figure out what questions they will try to force him to answer. Casey Anthony's lawyer said that one of the questions he will not answer is whether he thinks his sister killed her daughter Caylee. Attorney Tom Luka said he thinks it is highly unlikely the judge in Gonzalez's civil suit will require Lee Anthony to answer that question. Gonzalez's attorneys said they do plan to ask a judge to make that call.
Prosecutors Ask For Hearing On How Baez Is Getting Paid

<snipped> ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Prosecutors asked for a special court hearing Monday afternoon, to find out how Casey Anthony's defense team was getting paid. Many have been asking how Casey is paying for all of her attorneys and experts.. And even if there is a hearing on this issue, it might be behind closed doors. So even if prosecutors and the judge find out, the public may not.
In a motion filed this afternoon, prosecutors said eight different lawyers and numerous experts have been hired by Casey Anthony and that logical conclusions must be drawn. For example, Casey did not go from pauper to princess before her arrest. She's in no position to be managing her only assets, photos and videos of Caylee, so her defense attorney Jose Baez must be doing it. Prosecutors want Circuit Judge Stan Strickland to order the defense to produce every document related to any possible financial deal involving Casey, her defense team, or anyone else on her behalf, including for book or movie licensing rights. "If she says, 'I'm aware of that. I'm aware there might be some conflict there, I don't believe there is but if there is, I waive that conflict.' End of story," said WFTV Legal Analyst Bill Sheaffer. Prosecutors would insist she do it in writing. There have been concerns that Baez might steer the case toward a trial because it would make a more dramatic story. But as Casey stated in past documents, she is willing to do whatever it takes to defend herself and is determined not to let someone trick her into a confession.
