Casey Anthony's murder trial is facing another set back after the judge delayed proceedings due to an unexplained 'legal issue', Breaking Celebrity News can report.
The trial - in which Anthony is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee - came to a stand still on Saturday morning after lawyers for both sides spoke in private with Judge Belvin Perry for 40 minutes.
Neither defense attorney, Cheney Mason, nor prosecutor, Jeff Ashton would comment on the reason for the delay.
Prosecutors complained about the defense's plans to put chemistry expert, Kenneth Fulton, on the stand that day, insisting they had failed to disclose their planned testimony.
But Judge Belvin denied the hold-up had anything to do with that issue.
Prosecutors say Anthony smothered her daughter, covered her face with duct tape and drove around with her body in the trunk of her car for days, before ditching it in the woods near her Orlando, Florida home.
