Caylee Anthony service: WESH says Casey could watch on TV

We can all finally say goodbye to Caylee," WESH-Channel 2 anchor Jim Payne said Thursday.
A service for the slain toddler has been set for 10 a.m. Tuesday at First Baptist Church of Orlando. Church doors will open an hour ahead of the service.
The church said that everyone in the expected large crowd will have to walk through a metal detector or some other form of detection, stations reported.
"There is still concern that this is such a high-profile case," WESH's Bob Kealing said. Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, is charged with murdering the child.
Casey Anthony will be allowed to watch the televised service, WESH reported. "A corrections spokesman told me that they have not gotten a request from her, but they say there is nothing in their policy that would prevent her from watching it on TV," Kealing said.

The church pastor announced the security plans, Kealing said. "They say they want this service to reflect the dignity and respect that Caylee Anthony deserves," Kealing said. "With room for 5,000, church officials say they want to make sure everybody is there for the appropriate reason."
Brad Conway, attorney for George and Cindy Anthony, said the service could last two hours, Kealing said.

Grandparents George and Cindy "are taking an active role in planning the service," WKMG's Louis Bolden said. Speakers and a video presentation are likely. The grandparents plan to attend, but it isn't known if they will speak, Bolden said.
Stations reported that no cameras, no cell phones and tape recorders will be allowed, and the family and church reserve the right to turn away anyone.
More details will be released at a Friday news conference, WFTV-Channel 9 reported.
