CLEARWATER, Fla. – An Orlando woman charged with killing her 2-year-old daughter fought tears as the accusations against her were read to prospective jurors.
Pinellas County Chief Judge Belvin Perry began the third day of jury selection by reading the charging documents to a new panel of 50 prospective jurors. Perry dismissed 50 prospects Tuesday because several of them were discussing the case in a jury holding room.
Casey Anthony lowered her head and wiped her eyes as the indictment was read Wednesday. She is charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 death of daughter Caylee.
Jury selection is being held outside Orlando because of intense media coverage.
