Prosecutors filed the legal reasons why they are seeking the death penalty against Casey Anthony, a 24-year-old accused of killing her daughter, Caylee Marie.
In court Tuesday, defense attorney Andrea Lyon requested the legal reasons why the state is seeking the ultimate punishment. Knowing these reasons, Lyon said, will help the legal team prepare a defense.
Out of 15 potential legal reasons, the state lists five on its one-page notice:
•The death occurred during aggravated child abuse.
•It was especially heinous, atrocious or cruel.
•The homicide was committed in a cold, calculated and premeditated manner without any pretense of moral or legal justification.
•Caylee is a victim younger than 12.
•The defendant was in a position of "familial or custodial authority" over the victim.
