Deputies Deposed By Casey's Defense

ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, conducted more depositions Tuesday.

These depositions centered around Anthony's reactions while she was in jail the day her daughter's remains were found less than a mile from her home.

"She collapsed into the chair and started to, what appeared to be hyperventilating," Lt. Tammy Unser said. "She lost her breath. We told her a couple of times to take some deep breaths."

In one audio recording, there are the two people being questioned under oath.

Unser was with Casey that December day and took her to the jail's medical center.

Detective Philip Graves interviewed Unser about Casey's reactions.

After questioning, Baez said his client’s rights were violated.

“I don't agree with what happened. I don't think people should be treated that way. But unfortunately, I can't because of the things that are ongoing right now. It’s all going to come out in court," Baez said.

The trial is set to start in October. However, the defense is still waiting to see what evidence the state has and why prosecutors want to seek the death penalty.

Baez received about 700 pages from the state Tuesday, but said he doesn't think it's what he's waiting to see.

"They know what we want. They know how long we've been asking for it. If we’re not getting it, obviously there comes a certain point when cooperations ends and we have to ask the court to intervene," Baez said.
