had been discovered.

Judge Strickland said he wanted input from lawyers from the media before he rules whether the recording of Casey Anthony's reaction can be made public. Anthony was charged with murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee. 

Defense attorney Todd Macaluso told the judge that releasing the surveillance video would violate Anthony's right to privacy since it was filmed while she was in a medical office at the Orange
County Jail seeking medical treatment. Anthony's attorneys have alleged that her jailers worked with the Orange County Sheriff's Office to have the television news on in the medical office so
Anthony's reaction could be recorded. The Orange County Sheriff's Office has said there was no orchestration with the jail.

"This is cruel. This is inhumane. This is illegal. This unconstitutional," Macaluso said. "This defies any common sense of what law enforcement should and should not do."

Anthony's attorneys also asked a judge for the cell phone records of several witnesses in the case, including Roy Kronk, a meter reader who discovered Caylee's remains last December. Kronk's attorney, as well as attorneys for the other witnesses, told the judge that the request was too broad and amounted to a "fishing expedition."

The judge asked Anthony's attorneys to refile their motion for the phone records so that the timeframe of the information they're requesting is more narrowly focused.

A new attorney was added to Anthony's legal defense team Thursday. Andrea Lyon joined the defense team since it lacked an attorney qualified to argue death-penalty cases. Lyon is a law
professor at DePaul University in Chicago, a former public defender and a death penalty expert.
