Casey Anthony: Neighbor Claims She Borrowed Shovel

According to testimony today, Casey Anthony asked a neighbor to borrow a shovel two days after her daughter Caylee was last seen alive.

From the Associated Press:

Caylee was last seen on June 16, 2008. One of the grandparents’ neighbors, Brian Burner, testified that Anthony asked him June 18 if she could borrow a shovel to “dig up a bamboo root.” She returned the shovel about an hour later, he said.

Burner also said he remembered seeing Anthony’s white car backed into the garage on the afternoon of June 16.

Judge Denies Request to Ban Protesters, Press From Casey Anthony’s Neighborhood

A judge has denied a Florida homeowners association’s request to keep protesters and members of the media out of Casey Anthony’s neighborhood. The neighbors of the Anthony family had recently asked a judge to force protesters and members of the media away from their homes.

From Fox News:

An Orange County judge wrote in her decision that the association again failed to adequately notify the protesters of the pleading and give them time to defend themselves against the allegations.

Anthony’s daughter, Caylee, was last seen in June.

Investigators say Anthony, 22, is a “person of interest” in the case and evidence indicates the girl’s decomposing body was in her mother’s car.

But Anthony has repeatedly said she doesn’t know what happened to the girl.

She has been charged with child neglect, making false statements and obstruction.

Anthony also faces unrelated check fraud charges and is currently at home with her parents on house arrest after several stints in the Orange County Jail.

Last week, investigators released text message and voicemail transcripts, interviews and other evidence documents Friday in the case of a missing Florida toddler.
