ORLANDO, Fla. (Aug. 21) - Attorneys for a Florida mother charged with killing her daughter claimed Friday that she could not have killed the toddler because the little girl's remains were left in the woods while she was in jail.

The attorneys' claim gave a glimpse of the defense for Casey Anthony, who is charged with killing 2-year-old Caylee. The toddler disappeared last summer, but was missing for more than a month before Casey Anthony told her family. After her arrest, she told police she had been conducting her own investigation into her daughter's whereabouts.

Little Girl Lost

Casey Anthony could not have killed her daughter, Caylee, because she was in jail when the little girl's remains were dumped in a wood, her defense attorney said Friday. Anthony, center, is shown weeping during a court hearing in Orlando, Fla.

The defense strategy was revealed during a pretrial hearing. Casey Anthony's attorneys asked a judge to allow them to interview the head of a search-and-rescue group Texas EquuSearch, Tim Miller. They claimed his testimony would show it would have been impossible for Casey Anthony to dispose of Caylee's body.

"There is substantial evidence that we've found ... that the body or remains of Caylee Anthony was placed there after Casey Anthony was locked up," said Todd Macaluso, an attorney for Casey Anthony. "It proves that somebody else placed the remains in the area."

Last summer and fall, thousands of volunteers organized by Texas EquuSearch scoured central Florida, including the woods where her body eventually was found in December. Defense attorneys also asked to review records on the thousands of volunteers who participated in the searches.

Circuit Judge Stan Strickland said he would make a ruling by next week but indicated he was willing to allow the defense attorneys to have some information on the volunteers.

Missing Children Cases

Hassani Campbell: The 5-year-old Oakland, Calif., boy disappeared on Aug. 10. His foster father, Louis Ross, said Hassani vanished when he left the boy alone near his car in a shoe store parking lot for no longer than five minutes. Hassani has cerebral palsy and wears white braces on his ankles. Ross said Friday he had taken a polygraph test.

Casey Anthony was in the courtroom for the pretrial hearing. She has pleaded not guilty and her trial is scheduled for next year.

Her attorneys also argued that Anthony's comments to a bail bondsmen should not be allowed at the trial. Casey Anthony's father, George, testified about how bondsmen led by Leonard Padilla were hired to post her $50,000 bond last year.

Casey wiped away tears as her father talked. After he stepped down from the witness stand, George Anthony blew his daughter a two-handed kiss.

The judge did allow defense attorneys to have cell phone records of her former boyfriend, Anthony Lazzaro, from June 1, 2008 to Dec. 18, 2008. The calls were monitored by law enforcement after Casey Anthony's arrest in July.

How do they KNOW she was in jail when the body was dumped there? When she was arrested, that area was UNDERWATER. And the lying turn was free for a couple of months before her incarceration.... water doesn't lie when the kid is wrapped in plastic....

OMG! The defense is playing the "lets try to pin this on someone else" game. Didn't they listen to anything Tim Miller said? Does anyone have a brain on that defense team? First it's the nanny.. but wait the only one with ALL THREE names in florida (and also with ties to NY) isn't the right nanny so lets try two of the ex boyfriends and now since that hasn't panned out we should believe it was one of the volunteers or the guy who found the skull. Whatever happened to taking responsibility? These are the type of lawyers that make people hate lawyers. It's one thing to defend your client but it's a whole other thing when your trying to destroy innocent peoples lives just to do it. Bozo is slimy and would bend any law to do get what he wants. George had my respect when he testified to the grand jury but after seeing him with the woman who was accused of being the nanny, I have no empathy or respect for him. The whole Anthony family are screwed in the head and the sad thing is, there is a ...
