Day 7: Opening Statements Won't Begin Tuesday In Casey Trial
Posted: 11:15 pm EDT May 15, 2011

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Court officials said opening statements will not start on Tuesday as planned in Casey Anthony’s trial, because jury selection is taking longer than expected.

Jury selection for Anthony's murder trial will resume Monday morning in Pinellas county.

Attorney's are still looking for a total of 20 jurors to begin the 8-week trial.

Once they have secured a jury, Chief Judge Belvin Perry says he will give jurors one day off before sequestering them, and bringing them to Orange county to decide Casey's fate.
