Caylee Anthony Orange County, Apr 20 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The judge assigned in the Casey Anthony case has now stepped down. The Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland was forced to step down because he had communicated with an online blogger, about the infamous Casey Anthony’s case. The Casey Anthony defense team had speculated that Casey wouldn’t get a fair trial, because the Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland had discussed about the case with the blogger who had already had a predetermined opinion about the case.

So in the bizarre turn of events, the Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland had no option but to take his leave from the case, and now Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. would take up the case. The Casey Anthony defense team had claimed that the judge had a ‘personal relationship’ with the blogger, which might in turn affect the outcome of the case.

It may be recalled that Casey Anthony had confessed that she used to drug her 2-year old daughter. Some of the letters that Casey Anthony wrote in prison to her fellow inmates have been released, and they are shocking to say the least. She has also admitted to law enforcement officers that that she used to use chloroform to knock out her little 2 year old daughter, so that she could go out partying, without worrying about who would take care of, in the meanwhile.
