Suicide Note Not Relevant to Casey Anthony Trial

Judge Stan Strickland ruled the suicide note written by George Anthony as having little evidentiary value and should not be made public.

At the hearing, the defense argued the prosecution withheld evidence. Baez questioned crime scene investigator, Gerardo Bioise, who processed Casey's car.

Strickland called attorneys to the bench and after about a 10 minute private meeting, he ruled against the sanctions to remind prosecution and the defense to share information and evidence reports.

The defense also argued that they had not received a complete accounting of bench notes regarding DNA testing with saying the DNA report is not sufficient in regards to knowledge of the testing.

State Attorney Jeff Ashton responded saying that "it is not incumbent upon the State to provide such information." He said "the counsel is going to get the bench notes she wants by simply making a phone call."

Judge Strickland asked that the defense make a formal request for information from the Federal Bureau of Investigations and private labs at the University of Tennessee, which were involved in the testing.
