With no explanation, Judge Stan Strickland overruled a motion filed by Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, to excuse her from appearing in court.


Strickland is expected to address several issues at today's hearing, including the status of the trial date and the defense's motion to inspect the crime scene.

The state's motions that will be addressed include a motion to strike the witness list.

Another motion was filed on Thursday, this time by attorney Mark NeJame. He is asking the court to toss out a request to have members of Texas EquuSearch appear as defense witnesses. (Texas EquuSearch Motion)
