Casey Anthony was purposefully taken in shackles to a medical waiting area in jail to be surprised by news coverage that police had discovered her dead daughter her lawyer has claimed - a tactic he calls 'torture'.

Writing in his book, 'Presumed Guilty: Casey Anthony: The Inside Story', attorney Jose Baez alleges that police did this to possibly get a confession out of Anthony and that he was not able to see her while this was going on.

'They sent someone to Casey's cell,' states Baez. 'They shackled her legs and hands in chains, marched her to the medical unit, sat her down where there were several correctional officers and a couple of nurses standing around watching her, and forced her to watch the breaking news that police had found Caylee's remains so they could record her reaction.'
