ORLANDO, Fla.
Nine discs of new evidence were released in the case against Casey Anthony Wednesday morning.

The CDs feature DNA charts and graphs with no explanation, and no new photos or documents.

Anthony, 23, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee. Caylee's remains were found in a wooded area off Suburban Drive near the Anthony family home in east Orange County. Authorities said the toddler had duct tape over her mouth.
Anthony maintains a nanny by the name of Zenaida Gonzalez kidnapped Caylee from a park in East Orlando.
The young mother is also involved in a check fraud case in which she is accused of stealing checks from her friend, Amy Huzienga, and going on shopping sprees at Target. She recently pleaded guilty to those charges.
Timeline Of Case | Special Section
The death of Caylee has been the center of controversy and national media attention since the then 2-year-old went missing in the summer of 2008.
Since then, protesters have started riots outside the Anthonys' home, Casey Anthony has been in and out of jail, family members and close friends have been called to depositions and key players in the case, including Anthony's lead defense attorney, Jose Baez, have appeared on CNN's "Nancy Grace."
At one point, the pressure and scrutiny seemed to be too much for George Anthony, Caylee's grandfather, to bear. He holed himself up in a Daytona Beach hotel room and left the family a five-page suicide note. He was found under the influence of alcohol and medication and was taken to a facility under the Baker Act.
The mess began to unravel July 15, 2008 when the family's matriarch, Cindy Anthony, called 911 and reported Caylee missing. A frantic Cindy told dispatchers that she wanted to press charges against her daughter, Casey, for stealing her car and money.
Cindy Anthony said in the calls that Casey admitted that Caylee had been missing a month.
In yet another call to 911, the grandmother and ex-nurse told authorities that Casey's car smelled like there was a dead body inside.
"There's something wrong," Cindy Anthony told the dispatcher. "I found my daughter's car today, and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car."
Cindy later denied that claim, citing rotten pizza as the culprit for the smell.
Leading up to December 2008, the group Texas EqquSearch, including leader Tim Miller and volunteers, searched high and low for any sign of Caylee. After months of intense searching, it was a meter reader named Roy Kronk who stumbled upon the toddler's remains while relieving himself in the woods.
Casey Anthony is in the Orange County Jail awaiting her murder trial. She has pleaded not guilty. Her trial has been pushed back several times, with requests from Baez for a change of venue.
Anthony's latest trial date is set for May 9, 2011.
