Excerpt:

(CBS/WKMG/AP) ORLANDO, Fla. - George Anthony took the stand today testifying that the odor he smelled in his daughter Casey Anthony's car, when he picked it up from a tow yard, reminded him of the smell of a human corpse.

George Anthony said that within three feet of the car, he smelled a very strong odor that "concerned" him. He explained that he had smelled a similar odor previously and it was very distinct - the smell of a human corpse, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.

Because he had not seen Casey Anthony or his granddaughter, Caylee, for a long time, he worried the smell could be one of them.

"Please don't let this be Casey or Caylee," George Anthony said he said to himself when he opened the trunk of the car, reports WKMG.
