ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A judge has ruled that a Florida mother
charged with killing her toddler must attend her pretrial hearings.
The Orlando judge ruled Thursday that Casey Anthony must be at
all hearings except scheduling and trial status hearings. The next
one is scheduled for Friday morning.
Her defense attorney had objected, citing the media frenzy it
causes each time Casey Anthony is in a courtroom. The attorney says
Anthony signed a form waiving the requirement that she be in court
during the hearings.
Anthony is charged with killing her daughter, Caylee, who was 2
when she disappeared last summer.
