ORLANDO, Fla. -- There are no secrets in the case against Casey Anthony. If Casey Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez, wanted to keep secret his attempt to get phone records from key people in the case, WFTV's legal expert says he went about it the wrong way.

There will be at least one hearing because at least two of the 12 witnesses Baez wants to track through unlimited cell phone records are fighting it and most of the others probably will. Meter reader Roy Kronk and Casey's friend Amy Huizenga say Baez wants way too much.

Baez wants unlimited cell phone records for 12 prosecution witnesses. Two of them, Kronk and Huizenga, are fighting it as an invasion of privacy.

"Let's use a scalpel to get at the problem and not a meat cleaver to get at the problem," said Kronk's attorney, David Evans (full interview).

Defense attorney Jose Baez tried to keep his strategy secret, but after Circuit Judge Stan Strickland refused to meet secretly to discuss sending secret subpoenas to witnesses, WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said Baez filed an unnecessary court motion that will bring unwanted attention.

"Asking the court's permission to do something you have permission to do to begin with," Sheaffer explained (watch interview).

Sheaffer said Baez could've identified the witnesses' cell phone providers during depositions and then subpoenaed the companies' records directly. Instead, he's asked the judge's permission.

"That will force Baez to tell the court what relevance these phone records may have to the defense," Sheaffer explained.

That includes if he's asked for more witnesses' records than he really wants as a way to try to cover his tracks. Baez is also asking for the unlimited, detailed cell phone records for Casey's parents and her brother. Her parents' lawyer says they'll hand them over, but they have no idea why Casey would want them.

METER READER OBJECTS TO BAEZ MOTION

The meter reader who initially discovered Caylee Anthony's remains doesn't want to turn over all of his phone records.

Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, wants a judge to order Roy Kronk to turn them over (read motion). Kronk's attorney has filed an objection (read it) arguing the defense request is too broad and would be an invasion of Kronk's privacy.

Tuesday, Kronk's attorney said he's not opposed to a request for more specific information.

"We don't have anything to hide. We're not going to sneak around and hide phone numbers. The thrust of what I'm saying is, let's use a scalpel to get at the problem and not a meat cleaver to get at the problem. So let's be precise," attorney David Evans said.

Kronk said he is not opposed to turning over any records that might pertain to the case. He said he has nothing to hide and that he got no inside information about where Caylee's remains were.

WHAT'S NEXT IN THE CASE?

The next steps in the case all involve Casey's reaction the moment she learned her daughter's body had been found.

On May 5, Casey's lawyer is set to question, under oath, the jail guard who was with Casey Anthony that day.

On May 7, Casey will be back in court while her lawyer fights to keep the videotape of her reaction from being made public.

DEPUTY CAIN WANTS EXTENSION FOR JOB APPEAL

The Orange County deputy fired for the way he handled tips in the case wants more time to fight his dismissal. Deputy Richard Cain has requested an extension for his appeal.

The sheriff's office says Cain lied twice about how deeply he investigated a tip from meter reader Roy Kronk last August near the Anthony house.

Caylee's remains were found in the same spot two months later.
