Casey Anthony Trial: Skull Photos of 2-Year Old Caylee Shown in Court
Jurors in the Casey Anthony Murder Trial were shown photos of 2-year old Caylee Anthony's skull as they were first seen at an Orange County, Florida crime scene.
Casey Anthony, 25, is on trial for first-degree murder and could face the death penalty if convicted of killing her 2-year old daughter by smothering her with duct tape on June 16, 2008. Casey faces the death penalty if convicted.
Casey's defense attorney has said Caylee drowned on June 16 at the home where Casey lived with her parents in Orlando, Florida. Caylee's skeleton was found six months later in woods near her home by meter reader Ray Kronk.
Caylee was not reported missing until 31 days after her death.
The front of the skull had duct tape and surrounding it were a white canvas bag, black plastic bag, a red Disney bag and a White blanked, testified Orange County crime scene investigator Jennifer Welch, according to ABC News.
On Wednesday, Lee Anthony, Casey's brother testified that the family computer had 84 searches for the word chloroform. Witnesses testified that there was evidence of a large amount of the chemical in the trunk of Casey's car.
Casey's parents George and Cindy Anthony, along with Caylee's grandparents left the room before the photos were shown, according to the report.
The scene in the photos was in a wooded area. A path to Caylee's remains was barely discernible amid vegetation.
In early testimony Cindy Anthony testified that a Pontiac Sunfire car belonging to Casey smelled like human decomposition as did father George Anthony.
The name of the case is State of Florida vs. Casey Marie Anthony, Case Number 48-2008-CF-015606-O. The venue is the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida.
