Judge Grants Anthony Defense Access To Tests

Casey Anthony's Daughter, Caylee, Has Been Missing Since June

ORLANDO (CBS4) ― Attorneys for the mother of a missing Orlando girl will have access to Casey Anthony's car and forensic tests. Her attorney, Jose Baez, went to court Friday seeking to make Anthony's car and other items available so he can conduct his own tests and the judge ruled in his favor.

Ninth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland disagreed with an argument by Orange County prosecutors that the evidence did not pertain to the child neglect charges that Anthony faces in the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Strickland allowed motions that the defense be given access to forensic tests involving chloroform, DNA hair samples and hair strands within 10 days. He denied access to evidence collected by cadaver dogs.

Anthony did not attend the hearing. Her daughter has not been seen since June, but wasn't reported missing until a month later.

Casey Anthony faces more than a dozen charges alleging she stole from a friend, neglected her child and provided false statements to authorities.
