(Newser) – The defense team for accused daughter killer Casey Anthony will file a motion today seeking to move her murder case out of central Florida, reports WKMG-Channel 6. Prosecutors had anticipated the move. The search for Anthony's missing toddler, 2-year-old Caylee, and discovery of her remains near her mother's home spurred a media frenzy, particularly in Florida.
