ORLANDO, Fla. -- Eyewitness News was the only station at the Orange County courthouse Tuesday when prosecutors and Casey Anthony's defense team met with Judge Stan Strickland to discuss Casey's trial date. In the morning meeting, Judge Strickland pushed back the original October 12 trial date to January 21.

"The October 12 trial date would, with the death penalty, would virtually be impossible," Strickland said during the Tuesday morning meeting. "So, I'll go ahead and strike that October trial date and we'll set this status slash pretrial in January."

Lawyers met with Circuit Judge Stan Strickland about Casey Anthony's trial schedule. They decided to meet again in January to figure out whether they'll be ready by next summer.

One reason for the delay is new defense team member Andrea Lyon's teaching schedule, which WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer says wouldn't go over well with a lot of judges.

"You cancel everything. You better be ready for trial. In the state system, we're more flexible and especially in a case like this where it's a capital case and someone's life is on the line," Sheaffer said.

Sheaffer says Judge Stan Strickland does not want to give the defense an argument they could use on appeal saying they weren't ready when they had to go to trial.

Lyon says she'll be filing various motions after Labor Day. Sheaffer expects there to be a lot of motions coming from every member of the defense team on whichever issues each attorney is focused on.

"There will be dozens of motions filed. There will be a number of motions filed regarding the admission of evidence," Sheaffer said.

"You can't be a shrinking violet to represent these types of cases," Sheaffer said.

Lyon told the judge she wants to weigh in on the order of future hearings.

"You're gonna be requesting a suggested priority. If you have any problem with that, I'm just gonna make a suggested priority. That's all. The court, of course, could decide," said Strickland.

The Illinois attorney is tough as nails with the media and in court hearings, but Eyewitness News learned she has been nicknamed "Cryin' Lyon" because of her teary arguments to juries. Sheaffer said that tactic might not work with Florida jurors.

"They tend to not be taken in by theatrics, hysterics; they tend to listen to evidence," he said.

Sheaffer also expects the defense to file motions against the death penalty and expects some of the motions might be new arguments to the State of Florida. Sheaffer says the state of Florida's death penalty has been well-tested, all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Additionally, the judge said that he wants an affidavit from Amy Huizenga showing she wants to invoke her right to a speedy trial in the check fraud case that the prosecution wants to move forward on. Casey is charged with stealing her friend's checkbook and buying personal items with forged checks.

Also during Tuesday's conference the defense told the judge it has no objection to investigators photographing Casey's tattoo, as long as a defense representative is present. The tattoo reads, "La Vita Bella", which means "the beautiful life," in Italian. Casey got the tattoo on her back after Caylee disappeared. It is unclear why investigators want the pictures.

Casey Anthony is accused of killing her young daughter Caylee and dumping her remains near the Anthony family home.

ORGANIZATION GRANTED RIGHTS TO FIGHT FOR JAILHOUSE VIDEO RELEASE

Meanwhile, an order filed Tuesday granted one local media organization limited rights to fight for the release of a potentially incriminating videotape of Casey Anthony.

Judge Stan Strickland sealed a jailhouse video tape, which guards say shows Casey emotional and hyperventilating as she watched a child's remains being discovered on TV. The findings were later identified as Caylee Anthony's remains.

CASEY'S EX HIRES LAWYER

Eyewitness News learned that Casey Anthony's ex-boyfriend Tony Lazarro hired a lawyer to help represent him during questioning for both the criminal and the civil Case against Casey.

Lazarro was Casey's boyfriend at the time of her arrest.

Tony Lazzaro told investigators he met Casey on Facebook and that she stayed at his apartment in the weeks leading up to her arrest.

KRONK GETS MORE TAX DOLLARS FOR LEGAL FEES

A meter reader, who found a child's remains that later turned out to be Caylee Anthony's body on December 11, will get more tax dollars to deal with the legal issues that have come up because of the case against Casey Anthony.

Orange County commissioners approved Roy Kronk's request for an additional $2,500 Tuesday morning, which brings the total of tax dollars spent on his legal fees to at least $12,500.

Eyewitness News learned that the commissioners actually got into a verbal dispute over the decision.

Two commissioners felt it was a waste of taxpayer money, but the rest of the commission voted to give Kronk more money.

Some Orange County commissioners are getting tired of paying meter reader Roy Kronk's attorneys fees in the Casey Anthony case.

"We are going to be faced with substantial costs," said Commissioner Fred Brummer. "I strongly oppose that cost. I don't think it's appropriate for the taxpayers to pay."

The county felt it was necessary to hire an attorney to help Kronk deal with the media. Initially the legal fees were supposed to be capped at $10,000.

"What he does on county time, I feel we have a corporate ethic to take care of our own," said Mayor Rich Crotty.

Kronk asked the county for $2,500 in April and his attorney, David Evans, said he needs more legal services because Casey Anthony's defense team is trying to get Kronk's personal cell phone records. Kronk wants to keep some of them private.

Some commissioners wondered why Kronk needed his attorneys fees paid, since he received a $5,000 Crimeline reward and money from other sources.

Eyewitness News legal analyst Bill Sheaffer says it's very rare for witnesses to even have attorneys.

"Some point in time that point is now, he should start assuming his own attorneys fees," said Sheaffer.

If Roy Kronk's attorney asks for any more fees in the future, he will be required to come to the county meetings and defend his requests.

PROSECUTORS WANT PHOTOS OF CASEY ANTHONY'S TATTOO

Prosecutors want permission to go into the jail to take pictures of a tattoo Casey Anthony got two weeks after her daughter, Caylee, disappeared.
