ORLANDO, Fla., June 12 (UPI) -- Four misdemeanor convictions against Casey Anthony, the Florida mom acquitted of major charges in her daughter's death, should be thrown out, her attorney said.
In an appeal filed Monday, attorney Cheney Mason said Anthony wasn't advised of her right to remain silent or her right to an attorney when she made the statements to law enforcement officers in 2008 during an investigation into the disappearance of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Mason also said Anthony shouldn't have faced four counts of lying to law enforcement officers, but rather just one, arguing it was one ongoing act.
