The State Attorney's office is releasing more evidence in the murder case against Casey Anthony Friday.

The information apparently includes all the evidence not already released by prosecutors. WDBO is going through the documents, and will update this story throughout the day.

Anthony is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, and dumping her body in woods near the family's home. She told authorities Caylee had been kidnapped by a babysitter named Zenaida Gonzalez.

More documents related to the state's case against Casey Anthony have been released today.

The Orlando Sentinel is in the process of obtaining the documents right now.

Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie Anthony, who went missing last summer.

The toddler's remains were found in December a short walk from where she lived with her mother and grandparents in east Orange County.

Casey Anthony waited 31 days to report her daughter missing and blamed her disappearance on a nanny, who investigators don't think exists.

The documents made made public today have already been released to the defense as part of the discovery process.

Check back for updates.

Tattoo, Duct Tape Photos Released In Anthony Case
Hearing Slated For Oct. 16

POSTED: 6:59 am EDT October 9, 2009
UPDATED: 12:09 pm EDT October 9, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. -- New documents and photos released on Friday in the case against Casey Anthony provided a first look at duct tape found on her daughter's skull.

Prosecutors have said the duct tape is a critical piece of evidence in the case against Anthony.

Authorities said the tape was taken directly from the skull of Caylee Anthony. The photo clearly showed the oval marking of the Henkel brand. Investigators said the same marking appeared on a gas can taken from inside the Anthony home.

Prosecutors said the tape hasn't been sold anywhere since 2007. Defense attorneys for Anthony pointed out that fibers from tape on the gas can and crime scene don't match.

Also on Friday, photos were released of Anthony in jail that showed the large Bella Vita tattoo she got on her shoulder. The tattoo was placed about two weeks before Anthony revealed to her parents that Caylee was missing.

Lab reports from the FBI indicated that no fingerprints were found on the three pieces of duct tape removed from Caylee's mouth. Also, many items of clothing, pull-up diapers and garbage bags found at the crime scene could not be matched with items taken from the Anthony home.

The next hearing in the case is slated on Oct. 16, when Judge Stan Strickland will hear arguments on a defense motion to drop the murder charges against Anthony.

Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of Caylee.

New Casey Documents Zero In On Tattoo, Duct Tape

Friday, October 09, 2009 12:55:17 PM
Reported by Kelli Cook

ORLANDO -- The latest documents released in the case against Casey Anthony include the public’s first look at her controversial tattoo she got weeks after her daughter, Caylee, was last seen alive.

The images were part of hundreds of new pages of evidence the Florida state Attorney’s Office released Friday.

NEW DOCUMENTS:
» Trunk Evidence Form
» FBI Lab Chain-of-Custody Log
» FBI Evidence Form
» Injection List
» FBI Latent Print Unit

The tattoo, located on Casey’s left shoulder blade, contains the phrase “Bella Vita,” which means “beautiful life,” written in script.

Authorities took the photo in August after discovering that Casey got the tattoo July 2, 2008, about two weeks after 2-year-old Caylee was last seen alive.

Also released Friday were a number of new pictures of both Casey and Caylee Anthony, along with a shovel Casey borrowed from a neighbor, and duct tape found at the crime scene where Caylee’s body was found in December.

The documents come days after a new hearing in the case was scheduled for Oct. 16 to consider five different motions:

* Motion to Dismiss Due to Spoilation of Evidence
* Response to Motion to Dismiss Due to Spoliation of Evidence and Motion to Compel Defense Witness List
* State’s Motion to Strike Defendant’s Legally Flawed Motion to Dismiss Counts I and II
* State of Florida’s Motion to Compel Reciprocal Discovery
* Response to State of Florida’s Motion to Compel Reciprocal Discovery

Strickland will also have a status hearing on the check fraud case.

You are welcome, AJ!!! I am busily reading now......

I love Bill Sheaffer. His analysis is straight to the point and I really have great respect for him.

thanks snaggles... from all of us that dont have time to track down all this new info... (or even to read it..)

so.. am i getting this right?? did they, or did they not document the finding of the heart shaped sticker on the duct tape over caylee's mouth? cause the defense SWORE that it was never there, and never exhisted?? i am more confused now than ever...


<3 ya...

Randi..

Randi, an FBI tech said she could make out the outline of a heart sticker with residue.... I think even more than just she looked at it. When she was doing the testing for prints, the residue was obliterated (or destroyed as the defense likes to say). The defense has always maintained it was not there. But for them to now say the FBI lab has done sloppy work because of the loss of the sticker residue, they would first have to admit that it did previously exist.

The FBI tech noted in her records that she saw it, but no photos were apparently taken......

Hopefully, there will be lots to discuss!

Amen for Snaz! I agree..

Thank you, Indy..... you are so sweet..... 8)

This is a link to a lot of pictures that were released in this last doc dump..... I had not seen most of them previously. There are pics of the actual clothing Caylee was wearing, the lettering, the blanket, the bag, etc.... It's actually pretty hard to see that stuff knowing what they mean. There is also a pic of Caylee's 'Mama' doll LE retrieved from KC's car.

Looking at picure #23/of 79, this looks like the laundry bag, and I can see the indentions of the skeleton very plainly. IMHO

Does anyone else see the same thing?

No, c4... I'm not seeing it.... can you point out where you think you see it so I can take another look?

Also, wasn't Caylee wrapped in plastic garbage bags and then those were put in the laundry bag? I'm so sorry for how graphic that sounds.

IDK Snaz, maybe I am just seeing things. But it looks like the pelvis and rib cage are prominent. Even if the garbage bags were put into the laundry bag, I think the indention would still be there.

Here is the link to the picture c4c is talking about. http://media.myfoxorlando.com/photogalleries/100909caseyanthonyphotosofducttapeclothingshovel/1/lg/9732-9741_Page_04.htm I'm not sure what all the identions are from, but they look like they could be from a skeleton.

I'm not doubting you... I'm seriously asking where so I can determine if I can see it, too..... I must not have a very vivid imagination, because a lot of people thought they saw heart sticker residue as well, but I could never see it, even when they marked the spot... of course, not many saw it in the same place... LOL

I see lots of what appears to be indentations, just not sure if those are are actually indentations or if they are wrinkles....

okay.. i know the details, and i have followed this case, but those pictures were sobering.. to see those things buried in the woods like trash.. renders me almost speechless.

another thing that struck me as odd.. i was under the impression that the knife that was found was a butter knife. . the one shown in the picture seemed like a very sharp knife.. the end looked like the steak knives i have here in the house... the one pictured could very well have been used to at least cut the duct tape, or even should be considered as a possible murder weapon.

in the state her little remains were found, there would be no way of seeing knife wounds in the flesh, the only way to determine a cause of death by stabbing would be to find the microscopic marks on the bones.. which could be non existent, OR mistaken for post mortem animal activity.. i was, but am no longer convinced that this crime was passive in nature...

as for the outline/indention of the skeleton in any of the pictures, i have looked and looked, and i cannot see it... i see a lot of things, but they can all be chalked up to the items being buried and exposed to the elements for many months. ..

poor child.. may she rest in peace, and her murderer be brought to justice..

Well, I am like Snaz here. I am terrible at making things like this out. It's like those pictures where you have to try and find the one little picture in a huge sea of others. I can't ever find it. I also can't make out those pictures psychiatrists have used over time where they ask you what you see. The ink blots. They always just look like ink blots to me. So, I am going to defer to all of you smart people here on these.
The photos of her little clothes had me crying for hours one night when I first saw it. Somewhere else I had seen a photo of just the skirt. So, thanks Snaz for finding all of these.

I have one question. When the state blacks out part of the image, can someone tell me what it could be? I think it is the 12th picture in this collection.
