Legal egos? Lawyers take shots at one another in Casey Anthony case

What do you get when you mix a heinous child murder with simmering public outrage, an insatiable media appetite and high-powered legal egos?

The Casey Anthony case.

Consider the recent developments in Orlando's infamous crime story:

Attorney Brad Conway appears on national TV to say he no longer represents George and Cindy Anthony. Attorney Mark NeJame, the Anthonys' former lawyer, accuses Casey Anthony's defense team of acting in bad faith and requests a special hearing to debate their conduct. Attorneys Jose Baez and Cheney Mason charge NeJame with harboring an "ulterior motive" in his attempt to "thwart" Casey Anthony's defense and suggest his interest in a book deal is paramount.

Sometimes, between the noise of media appearances, post-hearing press conferences, court filings and personal attacks, it's easy to forget this case is about the murder of 2-year-old Caylee Marie and the life of her mother/murder suspect. The vitriol may subside for the moment after Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry last week called the various parties to a private conference to "discuss the tone of recent pleadings," according to court administration spokeswoman Karen Levey.

Often it seems much more like a clash of egos in a case the public can't seem to get enough of. The cast of characters features some of Orlando's most experienced legal minds – and some of its most ambitious.

This whole case has more twists and such than any book could hold. It is unbelievable. None of these people deserve the fame it has brought them let alone fortune. Everyone involved in this from Casey to the Antagonys to the shady characters DC and the buffoon that was with him. As for the lawyers, the only one I have any semblance of respect for is Nejames who was has protected so far the volunteer searchers. As for the rest, Bozo and Heiney and all the others involved as well as BC this needs to be their last case ever! The prosecution seems to be made up of people with the right intentions.

However I do believe the others only justice will be done when each of these people have to meet their maker.

The whole cast of characters are starting to remind me of a tv reality show. Who will get voted off next?
