Casey Anthony's lawyer: some jurors are killers
New tapes have surfaced of a revealing lecture given by the death-penalty qualified attorney on Casey Anthony's defense team.
Andrea Lyon spoke at a conference in Orlando, before she joined the Anthony case. WDBO's sister station, Channel 9 Eyewitness News, obtained a copy of that tape.
Lyon told the crowd lawyers are smarter than jurors, but can't let the jurors know that.
"You've been thinking all this time that you're superior to everyone except possibly doctors. We all think that, okay. Me too. We're very smart, and we're hard working," Lyon said. "But if we come across as thinking that we know more or are morally superior to these jurors, they won't like us. And if they don't like us, they'll kill our client.
"You have to be able to do that Barack Obama thing."
Lyon also said sometimes juries include killers.
"You can give the killers on your jury, and there are some, the ammunition they need to go after people."
Lyon calls herself the "angel of death row" and was brought onto the defense team because Anthony's lead attorney, Jose Baez, is not qualified to argue death penalty cases.

What others are saying
- Casey Anthony's lawyer; some jurors are killersTHIS WOMAN? HAS SOME NERVE BRINGING OBAMA'S NAME INTO THIS CIRCUS.WHY DON'T SHE FIX HER SELF UP LIKE BARAK OBAMA. I THINK THE JUDGE IN THIS CASE NEEDS TO ENVOKE A GAG ORDER ON THE DEFENSE BECAUSE, THEY ARE GOING AROUND ON THEIR LITTLE MEDIA TOURS TRYING TO TAINT THE JURY POOL.AND MAYBE HER LIL REMARK ABOUT JURIES WILL BITE HER IN HER BUTT.
- Casey Anthony's lawyer; some jurors are killersAMEN ASHLEY! FOR A WOMAN IN HER POSITION,SHE LOOKS AND DRESSES LIKE A BAG LADY.AND HER REP.AS A GOOD ATTORNEY IS OVER STATED. SHE HAS NOT IMPRESSED ME AT ALL!
- Casey AnthonyThe death penalty is cruel and barbaric and will be abolished. Ashley--are you a lawyer? and how do you look? Stop the name calling--it is un called for. Calling people names because you dont agree with them is so juvenile.
- UGH!The lady is just as looney as Casey Anthony is. I hope to GOD they give that hideous excuse for a mother a one way ticket to the ol sparky! ALSO, Ms. Lyon, try to work on the superior SLOB look your pullin off. She looks like a homeless santa!
- HUH?There is only "one" person that is superior to us and I'm afraid to tell Ms. Andrea Lyon it isn't you. If only we'd speak and treat others like we would want to be treated. Just imagine....
- Casey AnthonyIt is sad that there are not more professional people posting on these sites. The name calling really crosses the line. When you do that, you diminish your credibility. Also, did you ever hear of innocent until proven guilty? Casey is innocent and that will be proven.
- intellect?If this woman had an ounce of smarts she would do something with her hair, make-up, eye bags, weight, attire, what comes out of her mouth, etc., etc., etc. This brilliant woman needs to cut down on the carbs, step up the exercise and STFU!
- I am so glad this is still up, but it has been taken down off of wftv - I am glad I read it last night before it was taken down.
I went looking for it this morning and poof! it was erased! I guess Lyons didn't like being exposed for what she is.
She's just as vile as Baez. - Link removalThe links no longer work because the FACDL indictated it hindered their ability to retain quality speakers for their conferences
- NOW Your Links are GoneWhat is going on here anybody answer, why is all this being removed?????
- thanksthanks for posting this .... Knew there was something about this person I did not like ( other then the fact that she was standing by a murderer of her own child )
- Killers?Someone clue "Miss Piggy" in on her client! The killer in this case will be sitting right next to her! Who's trying to taint the jury pool now?
- Other LinksWhy is it that all the other articles on this womens lecture are no longer available and the links don't work? Is someone throwing their weight around? WDBO I hope you keep this alive and replay it and replay it...hope they don't get to you too.
- DisgustingIt's funny that WFTV took their reporting on this story off, cant link to it and the Orlando Sentenial Link is not working to their story on this...Glad your exposing this piece of trash for the Pig she is.
