Court of Appeals Denies Bond Reduction in Casey Anthony Case
July 30, 2008
The Fifth District Court of Appeals has denied a request by Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, to lower her bond.
According to WESH.com, the request was "denied without comment or explanation."
In addition to denying the bond reduction, the appeals court also ordered that the results of Casey's psychiatric evaluation be sealed.
Meanwhile, a former inmate who was housed at the county jail with Casey came forward today with information about the case. Inmate Travis Nichols, 20, told investigators that Casey spoke with him on Tuesday and told him that Caylee is with one of her ex-boyfriends. The sheriff's office investigated the claim, but say they are discounting it because they have been unable to verify details of the alleged conversation.
Reports have also been surfacing that the FBI is going to take over the case; however no official announcement has been made and a spokesperson for the FBI's Tampa office was unavailable for comment.
