In his objection, Baez said despite the fact he speaks to Assistant State Attorney Linda Drane Burdick nearly every day and even spent Tuesday with her questioning witnesses, no one in the State Attorney's Office has asked about a new attorney on the case.

Regardless, Baez's spokeswoman, Marti Mackenzie, said the issue will be moot soon.

A new death-qualified attorney has joined the team and will be at a hearing scheduled later this month. She would not identify the attorney.

"At that time, the defense will introduce the highly qualified and outstanding death-qualified attorney as the newest member of the defense team," she said

Next Wednesday, the parents of Casey Anthony will appear on CNN's Larry King Live.

The Anthonys were last on that program back in December of 2008, the night before Caylee's remains were found.

The Anthonys attorney Brad Conway will be joining them on the show.

Casey's Defense Team To Add New Attorney

WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said, most likely, the new lawyer is not local.

"It seems that the defense loves drama and this is just another example of the drama that this defense seems to play out," Sheaffer said. "The defense appears to be very unstable."

Baez's publicist said they're trying to protect the new attorney's identity because they don't want him to be attacked by the media.

"It's not a staged production. Again, let's not lose sight of what all of this is about, which is defending Casey Anthony on the charges of murder," Sheaffer said.

Baez To Bring Aboard Capital-Qualified Attorney
New Member Of Anthony's Defense Team To Be Announced

According to defense lawyer Richard Hornsby, during recent depositions of key witnesses in the case, Baez had no death qualified attorney asking the questions and that is a mistake.

"If you don't have a death penalty certified attorney conducting those depositions it usually affects the quality of those depositions and under Florida law you can't do a second deposition of a witness," Hornsby said.

Baez is asking the judge to strike the state's motion for a hearing on the issue.

Judge Stan Strickland has not yet issued a ruling or hearing date.

Casey Anthony: WFTV analyst says defense team seems 'very unstable'

WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer scoffed at that approach: "It's not a staged production. ... Let's not lose sight of what all of this is all about."

Casey Anthony is accused of the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee.

"The defense appears to be very unstable," Sheaffer said.

He predicted the new attorney will be from out of town. "It seems the defense loves drama," Sheaffer said.
