The Car
The physical evidence and odd smell from the trunk of her car ended up being pivotal for the prosecution. After they found traces of chloroform and evidence of human decomposition there, the prosecutors held onto these pieces of evidence. This was how they tried to prove that Casey Anthony had a hand in the death of her daughter.
Their Version Of Events
According to the prosecution, Casey Anthony must have used chloroform to make Caylee lose consciousness. She must have then placed duct tape over the nose and mouth to suffocate the poor girl. Unconscious and tied up, Caylee was put into the trunk of the car. She allegedly partially decomposed there before she was hidden in the woods behind the home of Cindy and George.
