More evidence in the murder case against Casey Anthony will be made public on Tuesday morning.

The State Attorney's Office put media outlets on alert today that it will make available three CDs or DVDs of evidence in the case.

It is not clear what information will be on the digitized files.

The State Attorney's Office does not comment on discovery.

Anthony is in the Orange County Jail on a charge of first-degree murder. She is accused in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.

The toddler went missing in June 2008. Her remains were discovered in December less than a mile from where she and Casey Anthony lived, in the home of Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony.

The state is seeking the death penalty.

Photos of duct tape, syringe and Gatorade bottle released today
Three CDs of information were released in the first-degree murder case against Casey Anthony

Photographs of a syringe, Gatorade bottle and a child's car seat are among the images released today in the first-degree murder case against accused daughter-killer Casey Anthony.

Also released was television news footage taken when Anthony's family, including parents George and Cindy, were still looking for Casey Anthony's 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie.

The footage from WFTV-Channel 9 shows a missing-child flier attached to something with a piece of duct tape.

Duct tape is significant in this case because previously released evidence shows the toddler's mouth was covered by tape when she died.

The syringe and Gatorade bottle have also come up in previously released evidence.

Records show trace amounts of chloroform, a potentially deadly chemical, on some of the evidence, though it's unclear whether the chemical played a role in the child's death.

Authorities ruled her death a homicide, but they could not determine how she died.

An FBI report in November shows investigators found a plastic Gatorade Cool Blue sports-drink bottle near the child's remains. A plastic bag labeled "Disposable Syringe Kit" with a syringe was found inside the bottle.

A report generated in June and labeled "Summary of results" by Dr. Michael Rickenbach of the FBI's labs indicates chloroform, testosterone, ethanol and water inside the syringe.

Chloroform has been depicted in movies and on television as a chemical used to render a person unconscious.

A person can die if too much of the chemical is inhaled. Chloroform also is the byproduct of the contact between chorine used in swimming pools and skin, sweat or urine. Commercially, it is used in refrigeration.

Casey Anthony is accused of killing Caylee in the summer of 2008.

Caylee's remains were found scattered in woods in December 2008, just blocks away from the east Orange County home she shared with her mother and grandparents, George Anthony and Cindy Anthony.

Also included are documents from the FBI Laboratory's Chemistry Unit, and several previously released items, including Casey Anthony's employee wage information and Orange County Sheriff's Office reports.

Caylee's car seat and baby doll

George and Cindy thought they did an excellent job cleaning that trunk, didn't they? Too bad they missed some spots. They knew exactly what they were cleaning up.

kh~that is the 64,000 dollar question. What is wrong with those people???

I'm glad they are idiots, otherwise we may have never heard of Caylee and Not-Mom would be on the poles as we speak!

I'm waiting for all you brainiacs to get through the discovery so ya'll can explain what it means.

Shortly after the evidence was released, Marti Mackenzie resigned as media relations consultant in Casey Anthony case.

"Effective today, I will no longer be a media liaison for the Casey Anthony defense team. All media inquiries about the Casey Anthony case can be directed to Liz Brown, at DePaul University College of Law Legal Clinic," Mackenzie wrote in the emailed released.

kh

Soooo....Who's next!!!!!

They are dropping. It just kills me to see that baby doll and car seat. I wonder what the stains are. And what evidence is on the steering wheel cover? How in the hell were George and Cindy ever able to clean out that car like they did and go on and protect Casey? They have no souls.

Piper............. I don't know how they could do that. I just don't know. kh

Well, looky looky........the knife has a sticky substance and a fiber stuck to it. And the duct tape certainly wasn't cut with scissors. It's pretty obvious it was "sawed" thru with a knife with a serrated edge.

Piper~They are dropping.

Dis~Like coffin flies. I wonder if they found traces of decomp on the steering wheel. She probably did a little clean up before TL picked her up from Amscot. Thank God these people are so stupid.

WFTV says it won’t retract report that the defense team called ‘this fabrication’

posted by halboedeker on May, 6 2009 2:20 PM

Casey Anthony's defense team wants a retraction from WFTV-Channel 9.

The station says no way.

Jose Baez's spokeswoman said WFTV's Kathi Belich was wrong when she reported this week that Baez "faxed copies of his motion for a
change of venue to some reporters before he ever filed it with the
court."

Baez spokeswoman Marti Mackenzie fired off an e-mail to the station: "Please retract this fabrication that you reported.
Let us know when you plan to retract your report."

"We're not going to retract it," WFTV news director Bob Jordan told me. "Faxed or handed. Makes no difference how it was transmitted. What matters is that it was transmitted to reporters."

Mackenzie said that simply wasn't so and that the motion wasn't provided to any reporter before it was filed.

"Their reports are tainted with the way they like to spin their own story," Mackenzie said today. "Kathi Belich, it appears, came late to a news conference so she could make her own entrance. She hangs back and then tries to grab Jose by herself. So much of this is about theater. These are things that are a trademark of Channel 9, the confrontational interview. "

Mackenzie said WFTV has sent out a message, through all its Anthony reporting, that the station is pro-prosecution. But this particular report — about the change of venue motion — was enraging because it was a fabrication, Mackenzie said.

Casey Anthony is charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee.

Syringe, Doll Among Photos Released In Casey Case

Posted: 7:17 am EST February 16, 2010
Updated: 11:23 am EST February 16, 2010

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Images of a syringe, a Gatorade bottle, a car seat, a baby doll, the contents of a car's trunk and a kit used for testing chemicals are among the dozens of photos released by prosecutors in the case of a Florida mother charged with killing her toddler daughter.

EVIDENCE PHOTOS RELEASED 2/16/10

» Syringe, Gatorade Bottle, Substances
» Baby Doll | Steering Wheel Cover
» Alternate Light Source | Miscellaneous Pics

The evidence also includes video from WFTV Channel 9 that investigators say links a special kind of duct tape that the Anthonys had to the tape found covering Caylee's mouth.

Prosecutors trying the first-degree murder case of Casey Anthony released the photos Tuesday. The 23-year-old mother has pleaded not guilty and claims a baby sister kidnapped her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, in 2008.

Forensic testing revealed traces of chloroform in Casey Anthony's car. The chemical compound is used to induce unconsciousness and is also a component of human decomposition.

Caylee was last seen alive in early June 2008, but she wasn't reported missing to authorities until a month later.

Shortly after the evidence was released, Marti Mackenzie resigned as media relations consultant in Casey Anthony case.

"Effective today, I will no longer be a media liaison for the Casey Anthony defense team. All media inquiries about the Casey Anthony case can be directed to Liz Brown, at DePaul University College of Law Legal Clinic," Mackenzie wrote in the emailed released.

Latest Casey Evidence Includes Syringe Photos, FBI Test Details

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 11:51:24 AM
Reported by Jacqueline Fell

ORLANDO -- Pictures of evidence, a car seat, a syringe -- all are the latest photos and documents released by the state in their case against Casey Anthony.

But what do they mean? And how will the defense fight back?

Included in the three CD-ROMs released today are photos of a Gatorade bottle, syringe, brown liquid, toilet paper, and a baby doll that may have belonged to Caylee Anthony.

The disposable syringe set was discovered inside a Gatorade bottle near where Caylee's remains were found.

Documents released in the past have described the chemicals found inside the syringe.

A brown liquid, two cardboard rolls, a syringe and other pieces of debris were all found.

FBI test results showed the liquid in the containers was composed of chloroform and other elements.

Tests also showed that traces of chloroform were found in the syringe.

It's not know exactly where the bottle was found or how close to her remains.

The defense may argue the area near Hidden Oaks Elementary School is a heavily traveled and has nothing to do with the findings of Caylee's remains.

Other evidence photos include a trunk liner from Casey's car, a car seat, and stains on both that were analyzed.

There's more about how the media is doing it's own investigating in this case.

Specifically the duct tape - the state is examining media reports comparing the duct tape found on Caylee to the tape used to hang up missing posters before she was found.

There are also documents about the methods used by the FBI to analyze bones, teeth, and hair.
