ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony's lawyer Jose Baez is angered after learning the Orange County Sheriff's Office confirms they do have videotape of Casey's emotions the day her daughter's remains were found.
Published reports have said that Casey was purposely shown news coverage Dec. 11, the day a meter reader found 2-year old Caylee's remains near the family's home.
The reports said deputies asked the jail to get the reaction on tape, and that the 22-year-old mother doubled over and began hyperventilating.
Deputies said they have that tape but have not turned it over to the State Attorney's Office.
His defense team released a statement Friday saying quote:
“It is outrageous and cruel that they were standing by to record her emotions. Let’s face it, there is nothing ‘normal’ about anyone’s response to losing a child. Everyone handles personal tragedy in an individual way. Let’s call this the potentially latest in a ‘tape and release’ strategy that the Sheriff’s Office seems to have used since Casey was first arrested. Even if it not their primary motive, the release of this kind of information alone has to have an influence on viewers and readers. Just look at the blogs. In fact, it’s also a concern that many so-called experts who publicly evaluate Casey’s reactions and often seem to advance the prosecution’s theories of guilt.”
Casey remains locked up without bond charged with her daughter’s murder.
