UPDATED: Judge sets tough new schedule for attorneys[/B
3:20 p.m. EDT, May 3, 2010
<snipped> The judge in the Casey Anthony murder case has set a new deadline for attorneys. He is giving them two-and-a-half weeks to file a detailed deposition schedule.
That's a huge undertaking. It means that by May 17, attorneys must contact more than 50 witnesses and schedule them for sessions during which they'll be questioned – sometimes very sharply - under oath about the case. He signed it Friday. It is another signal that he intends to move the case forward aggressively.
At a hearing Friday, Assistant State Attorney Linda Drane Burdick told the judge that the state has listed 250 witnesses. She predicted that defense attorneys would want to depose about 90. Defense attorney Jose Baez said they had finished only 36. That leaves more than 50 yet to do.
On Thursday, he'll hold a hearing about defense public spending in the case. Thursday's hearing could be the first time defense attorneys disclose just how much money they expect to spend. Tuesday will be dedicated to defense motions attacking Florida's death penalty. Hearings both days start at 9 a.m. *Much more at link!
