ORLANDO, Fla. — Caylee Anthony’s skull and most of the rest of her remains were 19 feet from the road when they were found, a crime- scene investigator testified Saturday.
Stretching a tape measure across the courtroom, defense attorney Jose Baez demonstrated the remains were virtually steps from the road, nearly the same distance as the jury from the defense table.
The testimony that the scene was easily accessible from the road could be significant because the defense claims the meter reader who found the remains tampered with them.
More than 50 investigators recovered more than 390 pieces of evidence during 10 days at the wooded scene where Caylee’s remains were found in the same neighborhood as the Anthony family home, said Jennifer Welch of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. Among the items recovered were pieces of trash and black trash bags.
