Judge Orders Photos and X-rays of Caylee's Remains To Be Turned Over To Defense

A judge ordered prosecutors Tuesday to turn over photos and X-rays of the remains of Caylee Anthony to defense attorneys for her mother, who is charged with murdering the toddler.

Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland granted the request by defense attorneys who say those and other items, such as microscopic slides and autopsy reports, are needed so defense experts can conduct their own autopsy. Last week, the chief medical examiner in Orlando ruled the death a homicide, but said how Caylee Anthony died may never be known.

Caylee was two when she went missing in the summer, but her remains were not found until this month. Her mother, Casey Anthony, has been charged with the murder.

The attorney for the toddler's grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, said a public memorial service will be held for the little girl. The grandparents planned to hold a private service and a public memorial for Caylee, said attorney Brad Conway.

Conway said the service won't be held until after a second autopsy on the remains is conducted.

A jail spokesman said Casey Anthony will not be able to attend a funeral or viewing for her daughter, due to her charges and the associated safety and security risks.

Caylee's remains have been moved to a funeral home according to reports on Tuesday afternoon.
