Casey Anthony Trial : Day 1, Part 1 : Opening Arguments

Casey Anthony's murder trial began in Orlando, Florida, on May 24, 2011. Florida police had said for the nearly three years leading up to the trial that Anthony had led them to believe her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony had been kidnapped by her babysitter, leading to one of the biggest searches for a missing child in U.S. history. Multiple searches were conducted and, in December 2008, a former Orange County meter reader named Roy Kronk found Caylee's remains near her family home. Casey Anthony was accused of multiple charges, including capital murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and misleading law enforcement. The prosecution sought the death penalty.
