Caylee's mother charged with killing the 3 year old girl

Caylee's mom named in murder indictment


ORLANDO, Florida (CNN) -- A Florida grand jury has returned a seven-count indictment charging Casey Anthony with first-degree murder in the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Caylee Anthony, 3, disappeared in mid-June but wasn't reported missing until a month later.

Prosecutors announced the charges Tuesday afternoon, shortly after a grand jury returned the indictment.
Lawson Lamar, the state attorney for Orange County, Florida, said the first count is a capital charge -- which could carry a penalty of life in prison or death.
She was also charged with aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and four counts of providing false information to police.
The 19 grand jurors -- 10 women and nine men -- deliberated for about half an hour after hearing from police, a cadaver dog handler, an FBI agent and the missing child's grandfather.

Anthony, who spent most of the day at her lawyer's office, surrendered about 90 minutes after the sealed indictment was returned. Prosecutors are asking Anthony be held without bond.
"She's not running from this," attorney Jose Baez said as his 22-year-old client wiped tears from her eyes during an impromptu media briefing. "She's doing her best to stand strong, to stand up to the powers that are working against her. And they threw the kitchen sink at her a long time ago."
"She has been living a nightmare," the attorney added. "She has a missing child. She's also a child."

Earlier in the day, Casey Anthony's father -- Caylee's grandfather -- testified before the grand jury. The panel was convened to look into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the child's disappearance.
George Anthony was prepared to do the "unthinkable" -- testify against his own daughter, lawyer Mark Nejame told a clutch of reporters gathered on the courthouse steps Tuesday morning.
