Excerpt:

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey Anthony's murder trial continues on day 36, and jurors will only hear a half day of testimony.

Casey's accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.

But prosecutors are now investigating whether Casey's claims that Caylee drowned were stolen from another inmate.

During opening statements, Casey’s lead attorney Jose Baez claimed Caylee drowned and Casey's father George Anthony found her lifeless body, then covered up the death. But now prosecutors believe that story may have come from an inmate in the Orange County Jail, April Whalen. She was briefly in the same jail dorm as Casey. The state suspects Casey may have heard about her fellow inmates' tragedy and inserted her own daughter into the story.
