New Discovery Documents Released in Casey Anthony Murder Case

Hundreds of pages of discovery documents released today by the state of Florida produced more damning evidence against Casey Anthony. Casey Anthony is charged with the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony, whose remains were discovered discarded like garbage in a wooded area near the home some six months after she was last seen alive.

Documents up for review by the public today include search warrants, photographs, lists of items removed from the Anthony home as well as a startling journal entry penned by Casey Anthony some five days after her daughter went missing. These documents verify that items found at the crime scene with the remains of Caylee Anthony are similar, if not identical to items confiscated from the Anthony home during a second search of the house. Some of the similarities are as follows:

A white canvas laundry bag found at the site with the remains exactly matches the brand of one taken from the Anthony home.

A pull-up diaper found at the crime scene matched one found inside the Anthony home during the search.

The serial number from a shirt worn by little Caylee, located in the Anthony home, matched the serial number of a shirt who's collar was found at the crime scene.

Duct tape found wrapped around the tiny skull of Caylee's remains matched duct tape retrieved from a gas can located in the Anthony garage.

The backing of a heart shaped sticker was also found in the Anthony home that closely resembled the heart-shaped sticker strategically placed on the duct tape what was found across Caylee's mouth.

Black trash bags with yellow handles that matched the bags found at the crime scene were also removed from the Anthony home during the search.

The parents of Casey Anthony, George and Cindy Anthony, are being represented by attorney Brad Conway. Mr. Conway stated yesterday, in anticipation of the release of the discovery documents today, that he was trying to prepare the Anthonys for whatever may be inside those documents.

Casey Anthony is presumed innocent until proven guilty, under the U.S. Constitution. She is being defended by Orlando attorney Jose Baez. Her defense team includes some of the most renowned forensics experts in the industry - including Dr. Henry Lee, who was also a member of the O.J. Simpson defense team. Casey Anthony's trial is expected to begin some time in March, but, due to a possible change of venue request forthcoming by the defense, the exact location of where the trial will be held is not known at this time.
