Death-penalty possibility changes much in Casey Anthony case, experts say

Prosecutors raised the stakes in the Casey Anthony murder case Monday, announcing they will seek the death penalty for the single mother accused of killing her child.

Terence Lenamon, a Miami attorney who was once part of Anthony's team, gave prosecutors a report in November outlining why the mother should not receive the death penalty. "I'm greatly disappointed that the State Attorney's Office has decided to take this route," he said Monday after hearing the news.

He said this may be a sign that prosecutors are worried about a conviction. They may want "death-qualified jurors" &#8212; jurors who are willing to sentence someone to death. Those jurors also are more likely to convict defendants, Lenamon said. "It changes the dynamics of everything," he said.

Casey Anthony's lead attorney called the state's decision to seek the death penalty against his client a "sad day for justice" and said she's "aware of the forces that are out to get her."

Jose Baez spoke with Local 6 News late Monday night after spending about 30 minutes with Anthony inside the Orange County Jail. The visit took place after the state announced that it would be seeking the death penalty against Anthony, who is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

Casey Anthony: What does state's move to death penalty mean?

On WESH-Channel 2, attorney Mark NeJame said he expected the state's move and predicted it could bolster a plea deal for Anthony.
"It's often happened where the death penalty has been on the table, that the state agrees to withdraw the death penalty in exchange for a life sentence," said NeJame, a former attorney for George and Cindy Anthony.

Things would have been different months ago and the state's action signals a change. "I believe that the state believes it has been empowered with a stronger case and are probably far less likely to offer any type of deal that they might have considered in the past," NeJame added.

On NBC's "Today," former federal prosecutor Kendall Coffey described the state's decision as "a stunning development coming this late in the case." He said the state has "excruciating pressure" on Anthony to make a plea deal.

Baez entered the jail perimeter shortly after 8 p.m. and left at 9:15 p.m., according to official jail records. Casey has not received any other visitors since then.

Around 4 p.m. Monday, state prosecutors announced their plan to seek to have Anthony executed if she is found guilty in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Baez Tells Casey State's Seeking Death Penalty
Anthony Attorney To Depose 2 Law Enforcement Officers
POSTED: 11:47 am EDT April 14, 2009
UPDATED: 12:58 pm EDT April 14, 2009

Jail records Tuesday show that defense lawyer Jose Baez has notified Casey Anthony of the state's decision to seek the death penalty.

Meanwhile, in the wake of Monday's stunning about-face by the state attorney's office to seek the death penalty against Casey Anthony, Baez is scheduling more depositions.

On Tuesday, Baez filed a notice to depose two law enforcement officers. One is a Corrections Lt. Tammy Unser, who said she witnessed Casey Anthony hyperventilate upon seeing TV coverage of a child's remains discovered along Suburban Drive, which was later revealed to be her daughter.

Casey Anthony case: How likely is it she would face death?
posted by halboedeker on Apr 14, 2009 6:30:18 PM

http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/en...se-how-likely-is-it-she-would-face-death.html

History suggests that death for Casey Anthony is highly unlikely, WKMG-Channel 6 reported tonight.

An experienced death-penalty attorney said death is unlikely for Anthony, WESH-Channel 2 reported.

Yet the state of Florida has passed tougher sentencing laws that could make it more likely that Anthony would face death, WFTV-Channel 9 reported.
