Casey Anthony Trial - Day 1 - State's Opening Statement

Excerpt:

Finally, the day is upon is. Opening statements are scheduled to begin at 9:00 this morning. Already, a drama -- CFNews13 and Orlando Sentinel tweeted that a lady waiting in line for tickets was pulled aside by a deputy after people complained she reeked of alcohol. She was ejected from the line, went and changed clothes and tried to sneak back into line. When asked her name, she replied, "Lindsay Yo-Mama." Classy!

At precisely 9:00, Judge Perry takes the bench and the clerk calls the case. The judge asks to see lead counsel at sidebar prior to starting.

Linda Drane Burdick delivers opening statement for the state:

This is a story about Caylee Anthony. Caylee was born August 9, 2005. She lived nearly every day on a quiet residential street in Orlando called Hope Spring Dr. Her doting grandparents filled her room with toys. It was decorated with every imaginable Winnie The Pooh item. In the backyard, every little girl's dream -- a playhouse.
