Eyewitness News has learned one of Casey Anthony's attorneys is leaving the case. Todd Macaluso joined the defense team to help Casey's attorneys cross examine expert witnesses.

He notified Casey Anthony last week that he would no longer be able to represent her due to current issues with the California State Bar. Macaluso is under investigation for misappropriating client funds and misusing a client's trust account.

Macaluso sent out a statement on Sunday night, saying "I, like Casey, know how difficult it is to lose a family member. While I regret not being able to proceed in her case as her attorney, I know she is in good hands with her current defense team."

Jose Baez released this statement: "The entire defense team is grateful for his hard work on this case and wishes him well in all of his future endeavors." Baez told Eyewitness News he will be looking for another attorney to take over Macaluso's duties.

How to spot a liar

"Some people lie because they want to avoid conflict or they don't want to hurt someone," Dr. Turney says, and adds that some liars are more sinister. "Pathological liars do this because they want to do anything to get their way."

Dr. Turney says watch out for unnecessary details, garbled words and humor. It is also all about body language. If someone shifts their weight, doesn't make eye contact with you, touches their mouth or face or clearly tries to fake emotions, you could be the victim of a bold faced lie.

Turney says these are all just theories and sometimes you can't spot the truth.
