ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- It could be brother against sister when the murder case against Casey Anthony begins. Lee Anthony's attorney say's the state attorney's office will likely want to put his client on the stand.

Tom Luka says he believes Orange County Sheriff's Office detectives and the State Attorney's Office will likely want to question his client again and possibly charge him.

Luka also believes the state would rather use his client lee to testify instead of George and Cindy Anthony. “Speaking as an ex prosecutor having a parent testify against a child is an extraordinarly sympathetic to a jury and can draw sympathy towards a defendant as opposed to away from them. On the other hand siblings do not have that same sort of connection nor are the liable to break down as far as emotionally evoking the same kind of reaction from a jury.” 

None of the Anthony's have been questioned since Caylee's remains were discovered and identified but luka believes its just a matter of time.
