Casey Anthony’s defense team has scheduled its depositions of the experts at the Oak Ridge Laboratories in Tennessee. That lab was involved in the air tests on Casey's trunk that showed evidence of human decomposition.
Court documents show Casey's lawyers will question five lab experts under oath over two days starting July 13. They'll be done at the University of Tennessee, which is affiliated with the lab.
Lead Anthony attorney Jose Baez confirmed today that Lyon has left the defense because of financial issues. He filed paperwork with the Orange County Clerk of Court's office late today reflecting Lyon's departure.
"We're sad to see her leave, but we completely understand that it's a fiscal reason," Baez said.
He said Lyon will remain "fully accessible to us if we need her at any time."
Andrea Lyon is the second lawyer to depart from the case in less than six months.
She's actually losing money being a part of the case.
In the 13 months she spent on this case, Lyon was paid $22,500, which is almost 10 percent of the $250,000 Anthony's defense team spent before she was declared indigent.
A source close to the Casey Anthony investigation tells WESH 2 News that death penalty defense attorney Andrea Lyon is leaving Anthony’s defense team. The source said Lyon made her intentions known more than a week ago.
Baez told Local 6 Lyon would not have stepped down if Mason wasn't already on the team and cited the costs Lyon incurred to travel to Florida as a big reason for her decision to leave.
