May 11 — Judge Belvin Perry Jr. rejects defense arguments that capital punishment in Casey Anthony's murder case is sexist and unduly harsh.
June 2 — Casey Anthony submits a statement detailing a recent plunge she took out of a courthouse elevator that chipped her front tooth. Anthony documents the incident on an Orange County Corrections statement form.
"On June 1, 2010, around 1:40 p.m., I was being transported from the 14th floor of the courthouse to the 23rd floor when the incident took place," Anthony wrote. "While stepping into the elevator, the leg chains became wedged in the door shaft and I immediately fell face forward."
Anthony lists her injuries on the form as a "chipped tooth" and "busted up, bruised knee."
As a result of the fall, Anthony is unable to attend a hearing at which Judge Belvin Perry was ruling on a number of motions filed by her attorney, Jose Baez, including a motion to strike the prosecution's notice of aggravating circumstances in the case and a motion to seal Anthony's jail visitation logs.
Perry denies all of the motions except the one regarding the visitation logs, which he says he will rule on later.
June 10 — Casey Anthony's defense files a motion reiterating their stance that the 911 calls made by Cindy Anthony are hearsay and should not be used against her at trial.
Prosecutors contend the 911 calls are relevant and show Anthony fabricated the nanny kidnapping story.
