ORLANDO -- The former attorney for the Anthony family is revealing more about what he knows in the Casey Anthony case.

Both Miller and NeJame are expected in court at 9:30 a.m. Friday for the hearing.

Casey Anthony's lawyers want information from prosecutors
Lawyers for Casey Anthony have requested law-enforcement communications with the FBI, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and various experts.
Casey Anthony's defense has made another request for information from prosecutors.

In a 90-page motion and corresponding exhibits filed today, defense lawyers Linda Kenney Baden, Andrea D. Lyon and Jose Baez say they want law-enforcement communications with the FBI, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and various experts including a botanist and entomologist.

Defense attorneys requested information in the first-degree murder case against Anthony in March and they have not received the material, the motion said.

Anthony, 23, is accused of killing daughter Caylee Marie Anthony, who disappeared last summer.

Meanwhile, Mark NeJame, an attorney for a volunteer search group that looked for Caylee last year, will offer more details this afternoon on behalf his client, Texas Equusearch.

The land where Caylee's remains were found -- a vacant property a short walk from where she lived with her mother and grandparents -- was underwater last year, NeJame's office said in statement to the media and in a letter to the State Attorney's Office.
NeJame's office also released aerial photos showing the property in east Orange County was wet while searchers were looking for Caylee.

"This seems to clearly contradict any claims that the area was dry previous to Caylee's discovery and the likelihood that Caylee was later brought to that location,'' NeJame's office said in a statement.

Caylee's remains were not found until Dec. 11 – long after the water receded -- after getting a tip from an Orange County meter-reader.

NeJame, Miller To Reveal Search Details In Anthony Case
Thursday, August 20, 2009 1:59:05 PM


ORLANDO -- New information will be revealed today in the Casey Anthony case, but it's not coming from prosecutors or the defense.

The founder and director of EquuSearch, Tim Miller, and his lawyer, Mark NeJame say they will release documents, computer disks of information, and photos about EquuSearch's search for Caylee Anthony last year. They will also release a letter to Casey Anthony's lawyers and a copy of a legal motion.

NeJame says aerial photos show that the area where Caylee's remains were found was submerged in water a month prior to the discovery of her remains.

The photos were made Nov. 7 from an Orange County Sheriff's Office helicopter.

NeJame says if you look at the foliage, someone could be within inches of an item and not see it.

Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's attorney, filed a number of motions. One motion tried to get EquuSearch to turn over maps, communications records and information on searchers and their involvement with investigators.

That motion was denied in January.

Now the defense has filed a motion to make Tim Miller a material witness. Judge Stan Strickland is expected to hear it tomorrow in court.

Miller and NeJame were together in Orlando Monday when they announced they will help in Search for Haleigh Cummings.

They will be in court together for the Casey Anthony Case Friday.

NeJame says he doesn't object to Miller as a material witness. But continues to say that EquuSearch was acting as a private company- and not hired by the sheriff's office.

And... tomorrow's hearing the case against Casey is set to get underway at 9-30 a-m.

The hearing will address motions filed by Casey's defense team.

The defense wants to delay Casey's criminal check fraud trial.

They also want a gag order preventing bounty hunter Leonard Padilla and his associates from talking about their conversations with Casey Anthony.

News 13 will broadcast Friday's hearing live.

Miller's attorney, regarding the photos. NeJame's office said the photographs establish that the area where Caylee's remains were found was submerged in water a month prior to the discovery. This information appears to contradict any claims that the area was dry previous to the discovery and the likelihood that Caylee's remains were later brought to that location, NeJame's office said.

Casey Anthony: Texas EquuSearch says it couldn't search spot where toddler was later found

"New evidence is emerging that could blow a hole in the defense's case," anchor Aixa Diaz said.

Tim Miller said his group, Texas EquuSearch, could not search the area where Caylee Anthony's remains were later found. The reason?

"It was simply too wet," WESH's Bob Kealing said.

Mark NeJame, Miller's attorney, said they were trying to answer media speculation that the spot had been searched in November and that Caylee's remains were not there.

NeJame used to advice George and Cindy Anthony, Casey's parents and Caylee's grandparents, on public relations. But the attorney resigned out of frustration because he couldn't control the Anthonys.

Casey Anthony: George barges into Mark NeJame's news conference

With the Casey Anthony case, the drama never ends.

Belich put the time behind closed doors at about an hour. George and NeJame later came out to say they had cleared up a misunderstanding that started with defense attorney Jose Baez's call to George, but wouldn't say more about it, Belich said.

"How are you supposed to live through all this?" George asked.

I've got a feeling many people would say: Away from the cameras.

Belich said George's action was "possibly just a distraction stunt, because this news conference was a really an attempt to poke holes in Casey Anthony's defense."

NeJame and Miller were releasing the information because tomorrow they will fight the Anthony defense team's efforts to get information on Texas EquuSearch volunteers who came here to look for the child.

Lawyer: Photos Disprove Theory In Casey Anthony Case

"It was all a big misunderstanding," George Anthony said Thursday.

The news conference was held Thursday afternoon ahead of a court hearing Friday and it all involves Tim Miller, the leader of EquuSearch.

Casey's defense team is trying to use Miller to say Caylee's body could have been dumped in the east Orange County woods where it was found after Casey was already in jail.

The Anthonys have left a trail of broken relationships and Orlando attorney Mark NeJame, who worked for them for free, and Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller, who brought his non-profit to Orlando to search for Caylee at Cindy's request, are among them.

Thursday, George barged into NeJame's office, uninvited, past reception, to the conference room at the end of a news conference with Miller.

George says he just wants to know what happened to Caylee, he just wants answers, but he apparently doesn't want the answers he's gotten so far from investigators and the answers he's gotten from his daughter Casey don't make any sense.

George and Casey will see each other at the courthouse on Friday for the first time in three months at the next hearing.
