Judge to Officially Accept Casey Anthony’s Not Guilty Plea…And CNN Video on the “Death Band”

October 27, 2008

According to WFTV in Florida, Casey Anthony is not required to be in court today for her arraignment as the judge in the case has accepted her written plea.

From WFTV:

Eyewitness News first reported that Casey Anthony entered a written not guilty plea on October 17, which means she does not have to be in court Tuesday when a judge is expected to officially accept her plea.

The judge may also set a trial date for the murder case against Casey.

On Friday night, Casey’s attorney, Jose Baez, visited her at the Orange County jail. No one else has visited her since then and no other visits are currently scheduled.

This follows information from late last week surrounding information released from evidence in Casey Anthony’s trunk:

Scientists who conducted forensic tests in the Casey Anthony investigation concluded that human decomposition and evidence of chloroform were present in the trunk of Casey’s car, according to the report released Friday.

The report details findings from FBI tests on items found inside Casey’s car, including DNA results on hair samples and forensic testing of debris and clothing (read details).Among the results is confirmation that a hair sample found in the vehicle “exhibits characteristics of apparent decomposition.” The report also says that specific hair is “microscopically similar” to hair investigators took from Caylee’s hairbrush.”The hair found in the trunk establishes that Caylee’s dead and that her dead body was in the trunk of the car. Even if they don’t find the body, it’s enough evidence, scientific evidence, to establish that she’s dead,” said Dr. Michael Baden, nationally-renowned forensic pathologist.

As I posted earlier, CNN has a video up discussing the “death band” on hair found in Casey’s trunk which has been linked to Caylee Marie.
