It's day three of jury selection in the Casey Anthony murder trial who is charged with killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. On Tuesday afternoon the the jury selection process hit its first snag Tuesday when the judge dismissed 50 prospective jurors.

Chief Judge Belvin Perry began Tuesday's proceedings in Pinellas County by calling the last 40 people from an original group of about 110 potential jurors originally brought in Monday. He and attorneys from both sides got through that initial pool before the lunch break. The plan was to start narrowing down a new group of 50 jurors afterward.

Perry said a woman who could be a witness had happened to receive a Pinellas County jury summons and was talking about the case in the jury room.
