ORANGE COUNTY, FL -- The attorney for George and Cindy Anthony is expected to request that the couple be allowed to meet privately with their daughter Casey (photos), who's behind bars at the Orange County Jail.

Visits with inmates by family and friends are typically videotaped and made public.  The Anthony's have not seen or spoken with Casey in more than three months.

Earlier reports from several Orlando media outlets indicated the Anthony's wanted to hold a funeral service for Caylee Anthony at the jail.

But attorney Brad Conway says the reason for the request is to allow Casey and her parents a little private time to remember Casey's murdered daughter, Caylee Anthony (photos).

Jail officials say it's unlikely that the request will be granted.

Casey is accused of killing Caylee, whose skeletal remains were discovered near the Anthony home December 11.

CASEY ANTHONY'S ATTORNEY WANTS PROSECUTORS REMOVED

Casey Anthony's defense team wants state prosecutors removed from her murder case. 

Jose Baez filed an emergency motion late Tuesday.  He claims the prosecution is violating Casey's 6th Amendment right to counsel of her choice.

Baez bases his motion on the fact that someone with the State Attorney's Office recently complained to the Florida Bar about him.  Baez claims prosecutors are trying to taint him and are interfering with Casey's defense.

Baez says the state attorney's complaint was egregious and prejudicial.  He wants to put prosecutors on the stand to explain themselves.  A legal analyst told Orlando station WFTV that's not likely to happen.

A hearing on the motion has yet to be scheduled.

GEORGE ANTHONY MAY BE MOVED TO NEW FACILITY SOON

The father of Casey Anthony continues to undergo treatment at a Daytona Beach hospital, but is expected to be moved to a facility closer to home in the next few days

George Anthony was taken to Halifax Medical Center last Friday by police after his attorney called 911 and reported him missing and possibly suicidal.

Police finally tracked him down at a motel through cell phone signals.  

Officers said George was melancholy and despondent and that they found a suicide note in the room.
