ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Anthony family's private investigator will have to answer questions under oath in the case against Casey Anthony, but he'll get more time to prepare.Private Investigator Dominic Casey was set to be deposed on Thursday, but it's been pushed back until December 16. Dominic Casey filed a motion (read) on October 21, to stop his November deposition.Dominic has been trying to get out of the deposition. He says because he once worked for Casey’s defense team, he shouldn't have to answer any questions.Dominic Casey was videotaped in the woods near the Anthony family home in November, one month before Caylee Anthony’s remains were found there on December 11. CHLOROFORM, EVIDENCE AMONG NEW CASEY DOCUMENTSOver 2,000 pages of new documents were released Friday, including information that Casey Anthony may have had a bottle full of chloroform and a used syringe.The newly-released documents are shedding new light on the evidence prosecutors are using to build their case against Casey Anthony including details about the evidence at the scene where Caylee's body was discovered.At the scene where investigators found Caylee Anthony’s remains, they recovered a Disney bag that contained a Cool Blue Gatorade bottle. Even after the six months from time Caylee was last seen alive and the time her remains were found, the bottle contained a liquid that still smelled of household chemicals and a used syringe.DOCUMENTS RELEASED 11/06/09 PHOTOS: Evidence Images From Documents Forensic Entomology Lab Exam Report Investigators Take Casey Tattoo Photos 1,765 Pages Of FBI Exams, Docs SLOW to load Henkel Tape Product Specs, Supplier ListSHEAFFER BLOGS: Legal Expert Analyzes Documents VIDEO REPORT: Details Emerge From DocumentsIn the documents there was a bombshell of evidence:Tests from the FBI show chloroform was in the bottle and in the syringe. Eyewitness News had reported previously that there were traces of chloroform found in the trunk of Casey’s car.Forensic experts told Eyewitness News Chloroform could be a by-product of decomposition, but the level found in the trunk would be too high to be natural from a small child. That may suggest chloroform from another source was in the trunk.Investigators believe Casey had searched the internet on her computer to find out how to make Chloroform. They found similar search results on her ex-boyfriend's computer several months before discovering those on Casey's computer. Chloroform can be made with common household chemicals and can be deadly in high doses.Test results from an entomology report (read it) show the trunk also reveal the presence of what are called "coffin flies." An entomologist wrote that those are the most common flies found in human decomposition.They found signs of flies that typically arrive both early and late in the decaying process.If Caylee's body was in the trunk of Casey’s car, experts determined it was likely her body was removed sometime between June 19 2008, which is three days after she was last seen alive, and June 27; the day the car was found in an Amscot parking lot.Investigators also found something on the clothing of Caylee's favorite doll, a doll her family says she never went anywhere without. The doll was found in Casey's car and they later believe that it was urine they found on the doll's clothing.Most the documents released Friday are detailed reports of FBI examinations of evidence (read it). There are also some photos of evidence among the documents (see them).Also among the documents are Henkel tape product specs along with a list of suppliers (read it) and a document about the day investigators went to the jail to take photos of Casey's tattoo (read doc | see tattoo photos). NEW MOTIONS ON CASEY MURDER, FRAUD CHARGESCasey Anthony's defense team has filed three new motions in the case. One concerns the check fraud charges and the other two concerns the death penalty murder case against her.Casey is in the Orange County jail, accused of murdering her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony.MOTIONS: Fraud | To Dismiss | Death Procedure VIDEO REPORT: Motions Filed Against CaseyThe defense says the death penalty should be dropped because the only reason prosecutors are seeking a death sentence is to seat a conviction-prone jury.Also, Anthony's lawyers say there is no proof that Caylee was killed in a cold, calculated and cruel manner. They argue the indictment is defective, because it contains no facts; therefore, the defense has no idea how to defend her against the murder charge.“But for the fact that we're dealing with the death of a child and a mother who's facing the death penalty you bet, that's just a laughable motion to be filed in the case at this time. It's just almost, when is the defense ever going to get serious?” WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said.The defense is also arguing that prosecutors should not have filed three charges against Casey for every check she's accused of stealing from her best friend. They want the judge to drop some of the charges.Casey’s pretrial for her check fraud case has been changed from December 18 to December 11, which is the anniversary of when Caylee’s remains were found. CASEY CASE MADE INTO PLAY CALLED "TOT MOM" The Casey Anthony case is coming to a stage in Australia. A play called "Tot Mom" will be headlining at the Sydney Theatre Company in Australia starting in late December.The mastermind behind the idea is Oscar-Winning director Steven Soderbergh, who is famous for directing movies like the Ocean's Eleven series and Erin Brokovich.CASEY IMAGES: In Court | Pics Of TattooAccording to the company's web site, Soderbergh uses “excerpts from transcripts of Nancy Grace's show, court documents and police reports to create a compelling drama for our sensation-hungry times."Grace is apparently a prominent figure in the production.
