“We’re not here for a homicide case,” a prosecutor said during Friday’s hearing.”Sure you are. We have a shadow case that’s been going on for three months,” one of Casey’s attorneys replied.Prosecutors wanted to keep the evidence in Casey Anthony’s child neglect case separate from the DNA evidence from Caylee’s hair and the stain found in Casey’s trunk, which investigators say shows Caylee is dead and that her dead body was in the trunk. They want to keep the cases separate, so they’re not under the same speedy trial deadline in January to try her on any new more serious charges that could come from the grand jury next week.Casey’s charged with neglect for not reporting her daughter missing or searching for her, which prosecutors say has nothing to do with DNA.
