On Tuesday morning, the state attorney's spokesman Randy Means told WESH 2 News, "We are preparing for trial as charged."
Casey Anthony is facing the possibility of life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee Anthony.Prosecutors said they expect the trial to last about four weeks.
Also, in accordance with a court ruling made Monday, Anthony's defense attorney received a copy of a controversial videotape Tuesday.
The tape, which shows Anthony's reaction to the news that remains were found near her family's East Orange County home, was the subject of a court hearing.
The remains were found Dec. 11; one week later, they were identified as Caylee.
Judge Stan Strickland ruled that the prosecution must release the tape to defense attorney Jose Baez.
Baez has 15 days to decide if he wants to object to the release of the tape. If he chooses not to, the tape will be made public.
Also a result of Monday's hearing, Strickland denied Baez's motion to prevent potentially embarrassing photos of his client from being released.
Baez filed a motion to block the public release of photos of Anthony posted to PhotoBucket.com, a photo hosting Web site. A search of public images on the site reveals several of Anthony -- some of her with Caylee, others show Anthony partying.
Meanwhile, bounty hunter Leonard Padilla will testify under oath on March 24.
Last week, Casey Anthony's brother, Lee, was questioned.
Zenaida Gonzalez is suing Casey Anthony for defamation.
Gonzalez claims Casey ruined her name when she told detectives a nanny by the same name took her daughter Caylee.
The attorney for George and Cindy Anthony filed a motion Tuesday to block the release of information about George Anthony's attempted suicide.
In the motion, attorney Brad Conway said a copy of George Anthony's suicide note was handed over to police, who gave a copy to the State Attorney's Office.
Conway said the letter has no bearing on the criminal case against Casey Anthony and should not be released.
Is this a sign that the case against Casey isn't as strong the State of Florida has been saying. Because I think they could get a conviction against her with a five year old presenting the case.
