The evidence is the latest provided by prosecutors to Anthony&#8217;s defense team, and includes such things as photos of the heart sticker found on Caylee&#8217;s remains and a similar sticker on an envelop from the Anthony&#8217;s home.

WESH 2 News is going through the documents and will continue to update here with photos and details. We also will be updating the story during WESH 2 News at noon, which also be available on the WESH.com.

The attorney for Caylee's grandparents, Brad Conway, said he's preparing his clients for what the news may be. He said he'll wait and see exactly what is released.
The state filed a new document with the court saying they have at least 20 more disks of material to be released to Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, in the coming weeks.

UPDATED: New Documents Released In Casey Anthony Case

What We're Finding In Documents
Orange County investigators found a World of Disney plastic bag near the body of Caylee.
Inside the bag: Gatorade Cool Blue bottle with unknown liquid and white sediment and a syring in a wrapper inside a toilet paper roll in the bottle.

FBI Lab: Based on examinations, the pieces of duct tape found on the body and on the gas can are "comparable to one another in all physical attributes and in the chemical composition of their backing and adhesive components. Therefore, they originated from the same source roll of tape or from rolls of tape manufactured in the same manner."

In the garage of the Anthony home, investigators found a canvass laundry bag of the same make as one found on the scene.
The report goes onto say, "During a search of the southernmost outside shed, crime scene investigators located a red metal gas can with a piece of duct tape on it. On the tape within a black oval was written the work "HENKEL". This tape appears to be of the same make and brand as the tape found on the body. This gas can was photographed and collected.

Casey Anthony documents: No fingerprints on duct tape, diary is from 2003
Sarah Lundy, Amy L. Edwards and Bianca Prieto | Sentinel Staff Writer
7:01 PM EST, February 18, 2009

<snipped>
- Several bones, including human teeth and animal bones. - Numerous pieces of plastic bags - A pregnancy test - Several discarded soda cans - A broken Winnie the Pooh helium balloon - Barbie doll legs - A disposable camera - A piece of "Henkel Consumer Adhesives" duct tape, the same kind found wrapped around the skull and attached to a gas can at the house. "Evidence on the body suggests that the child's death was not accidental but an intentional act," Detective Yuri Melich wrote Feb. 5. "As of this writing, there is nothing to suggest that anyone but Casey Anthony is responsible for the death and disposal of Caylee Anthony."

10:37 a.m. After Casey Anthony was released from jail once last year, Annie Downing visited Anthony several times at her home and spent the night once. Anthony told Downing, "when this is all said and done, I have so much to tell you," Downing told investigators.
While Downing was visiting the Anthony home, Casey Anthony found Cindy Anthony on the computer using Casey's email address and signing emails with Casey's name. They argued about it, but Cindy Anthony told her daughter that "if this can find us Caylee, then you know I'm going to do whatever I can."

At one point, while visiting Anthony at home, Downing asked her about the chloroform found in the trunk of her Pontiac, but Casey Anthony explained it away, saying she had stored cleaning supplies there. Anthony also alluded to the fact that her ex-fiancé, Jesse Grund, had a key to her car and "may have done something to it after it was abandoned," the report said.


The remains were found inside of two black plastic bags and a canvas laundry bag. Detectives also found a stained Winnie the Pooh blanket, a pair of size 24 month pink and white stripe shorts, a pink size 3T shirt with the words "BIG TROUBLE comes small" written on the front and what detectives thought to be pieces of a child's pull up.

Mother Hyperventilated When Caylee's Body Found

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. -- New documents released by the State Attorney's Office show the mother of missing Florida toddler Caylee Anthony hyperventilated and asked for medication when she was notified that her daughter's body had been found last December.

The documents released Wednesday deal with evidence found at the crime scene where Caylee's body was found and items taken by authorities during subsequent searches of the house Caylee shared with her mother and grandparents.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, has been charged with her daughter's murder. She claims that Caylee was kidnapped by a baby sitter and has pleaded not guilty.

Caylee was 2 when she disappeared last June. A month passed before authorities were notified of her disappearance.

I have 369 Doc pages so far, uploading them to WS and will put them in the private forum area with security restrictions. They need to be redacted a little - witness addresses/phone #'s - so it may take a little while.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- New documents released by the State Attorney's Office show the mother of missing Florida toddler Caylee Anthony hyperventilated and asked for medication when she was notified that her daughter's body had been found last December.
Evidence discovered in the woods where Florida toddler Caylee Anthony's body was found last December also match identical items found in the house where she lived with her mother and grandparents. Documents released Wednesday by the State Attorney's Office in Orlando show the same type of laundry bag, duct tape and plastic bag discovered at the crime scene also were found in the house where Caylee lived.

WFTV.com is going through the documents and thousands of images that were released. Many images and documents will be posted online as soon as possible.

The big news: investigators say the duct tape discovered on Caylee Anthony's skull at the crime scene matches duct tape stuck on a gas can at the Anthony&#8217;s' house.
Photos released show strips of silver-colored duct tape and several plastic bags scattered at the site where Caylee's remains were found. Right now reporters are digging through the information. In the hundreds of pages of discovery, photographs of the crime scene and more interviews. At least one interview with Casey Anthony's friends say she had an emotional breakdown and "wanted to be committed"

Documents: Mother Wanted Medication When Told Caylee's Body Found
Casey Anthony Charged With Murder In Daughter's Death
POSTED: Wednesday, February 18, 2009
UPDATED: 3:46 pm EST February 18, 2009

<snipped>
ORLANDO, Fla. -- New documents released by the state attorney's office show that Casey Anthony hyperventilated and asked for medication when she was notified that her daughter's body had been found in December.

Along with a skull and bones, investigators found a stained Winnie the Pooh blanket, pink-and-white-striped shorts and a shirt that said "BIG TROUBLE Comes Small" in the woods at the crime scene. The skull had duct tape over the mouth similar to duct tape found at the Anthony house and the remains were found in a laundry bag and plastic bag that also were similar to ones found at the home, according to the documents.
Marti Mackenzie, a spokeswoman for Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, said in an e-mail that the detectives' reports were "biased and speculative."
In a statement, Baez and defense co-counsel Linda Kenney Baden said that the brand of duct tape was the most widely sold in the United States and that it was significant that no fingerprints were found on the duct tape.

Casey Anthony case: Stations share "blockbuster details"
posted by halboedeker on Feb 18, 2009 12:34:57 PM

<snipped>
The latest details of the case against Casey Anthony filled noon newscasts Wednesday.

Anthony hyperventilated when she learned daughter Caylee's remains were found, WFTV-Channel 9 anchor Vanessa Echols said in opening the newscast. "That was just one of the many blockbuster details released today," Echols added.

On WKMG-Channel 6, Tony Pipitone said the big news was a link between the Anthony home and evidence found with the toddler's remains. Duct tape on the child's skull is "almost identical" to tape found on a gas can that was in Casey's car trunk, Pipitone said. "The circle is tightening around Casey Anthony," Pipitone said.
WKMG highlighted other connections: The cloth laundry bag holding Caylee's remains is like one in the Anthony home. A heart sticker that had been affixed to the duct tape on the child's mouth is like stickers in the home. "There is just one thing after another," Pipitone said of the latest documents released Wednesday. Pipitone said definitively there were no fingerprints on the duct tape.

When investigators collected the evidence from the house after Caylee's remains were found, they said in the documents that Cindy Anthony told them a Winnie the Pooh blanket was missing from Caylee's bed; Caylee's remains were found with a Winnie the Pooh blanket.

Released February 18, 2009
Regarding discovery released by the State of Florida (State of Fl v. Casey Anthony) . . .
According to defense lawyers for Casey Anthony, the States forensic report on duct tape, plastic bags and other items is a one-sided law enforcement-generated report and is biased and speculative. It uses junk science, the kind of flawed comparative analysis that the two-year study by National Academy of Sciences released today.
This study--"Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward by its Committee on Identifying the Needs of the Forensic Science Community, released today and the subject of a public briefing scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EST.
The New York Times, CBS 60 Minutes and the Washington Post have all recently weighed in on flawed forensics evidence (see below).

Defense co-counsel Linda Kenney Baden says:
Were looking closely at the NAS report. Comparative forensic analyses like those in this discovery are conducted by law enforcement agencies with no independent oversight. Our defense experts will make sure there is an objective analysis of this biased discovery. The Anthony case may be one to set a precedent in exposing the flaws in evidence that only law enforcement has tested.

Casey Anthony case: TV sees "avalanche of evidence" against her
posted by halboedeker on Feb 18, 2009 6:17:23 PM

<snipped>
"It all adds up to what authorities say is a damning case against Casey Anthony, the last person to see Caylee alive," WKMG-Channel 6's Tony Pipitone said.
"It's some of the most damaging evidence we've seen yet in the case against Casey," said WFTV-Channel 9 anchor Darrell Greene.

WESH's Amanda Ober explained the defense's position in a separate report. She also talked to defense attorney Mark NeJame who said the latest evidence was bad news for the defense. "What are the odds ... that all of these unique items would singularly be found at the location where Caylee was found?" he asked. "That becomes extremely challenging for the defense."(NeJame once represented George and Cindy Anthony, Casey's parents.)
WKMG and WESH focused on former Casey pal Annie Downing. "We all know Casey's done bad things," Lee Anthony told her. "Don't protect Casey." What bad things? WESH's Gail Paschall-Brown reported that Downing told detectives, "Casey has lied to everyone she knows." WESH added that Downing had insights into the Casey-Cindy relationship. "Casey told Annie that her mother was a horrible person who was trying to control her life and take Caylee away from her," Paschall-Brown reported.

Baden addressed the duct tape evidence detailed in the legal documents: "Not only is this brand of tape the most widely sold in the United States, the State is relying on comparative analysis just like comparisons exposed as flawed in the study of bullet lead in 2004. These chemical studies have put hundreds of innocent people in jail."

Caylee files reveal details about duct tape, Pooh blanket, car trunk
February 18, 2009

<snipped>
(CNN) -- Police believe 2-year-old Caylee Anthony was slain within days of the time she was last seen in June, and that her body was in the trunk of her mother's car for "a period of time," according to documents released Wednesday.
A supplemental report contained in those documents says that police believe Caylee was killed between June 16, the day the toddler was last seen, and June 27, based on evidence found in the car as well as evidence found with the child's body. Evidence also suggests "the body of Caylee Anthony was in the trunk ... for a period of time but removed prior to June 27, 2008," the report says.
