Closing arguments to begin in Casey Anthony trial(Video)

Closing arguments are expected to begin Sunday in the Florida murder trial of Casey Anthony, the woman charged in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Prosecutors contended at trial that Anthony killed her daughter in June 2008 by covering the child's mouth with duct tape. Prosecutors told jurors the woman dumped the girl's body in woods near her parents' home and then resumed her life of partying and shopping.
Defense attorneys, without offering firm proof of how Caylee died, countered at trial that the toddler accidently drowned in the family swimming pool.
A medical examiner never determined precisely how Caylee died.
Casey Anthony has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder. She could face a possible death sentence or life in prison if convicted of that charge.

Police confirm ID of girl, 6, found dead in Delray Beach canal



Confirming what police already suspected, the medical examiner positively identified the little girl found in a black duffel bag in the C-15 canal as 6-year-old Ju'Tyra Allen, a Delray Police Department spokeswoman said in a statement today.Ju'Tyra's body was found near that of her half-brother, Jermaine McNeil, 10, whose body was identified yesterday.
Police suspect that the children's mother, Felicia Brown, is also dead; they think she is the formerly unidentified corpse found in a garbage dump in West Palm Beach in August.
Brown's former boyfriend, Clem Beauchamp, 34, has been named as a suspect in the case but not charged; he has been arrested on an unrelated federal crime.
