Excerpt:

The manager of the wrecker service that towed Casey Anthony's Pontiac in late June 2008 took the stand this morning and described the stench emanating from the vehicle.

"The instant flash in my mind was, 'Whoa, I know what that smell is,'" Birch said. "I did notice a fairly strong odor emanating from the vehicle."

Birch, a veteran of the towing industry, said he had smelled six to eight dead bodies during his career and could distinguish between the smell of garbage and the odor of human decomposition.

"It's a very, very unique and distinctive smell," Birch said, adding that he immediately recognized the smell from outside Casey Anthony's car. He did not go inside the vehicle.
