Judge says stain evidence can be considered Casey Anthony case

A Florida judge ruled today that the jury will be able to consider a stain found in the trunk of the car belonging to mother and accused murderer Casey Anthony. Prosecutors believe Anthony stashed her dead 2-year-old daughter in the same trunk, according to CNN.

Orang County Superior Court Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. denied a motion from Anthony's defense attorney to keep the evidence out of the trial, saying it is irrelevant. The stain in the trunk will be part of next months trial as long as the prosecutors establish a proper foundation.

Casey Anthony, 25, is facing a capital murder charge in the death of her daughter Caylee Anthony and six other chargers including, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and misleading law enforcement. Caylee was reported missing in July 2008, 30 days after she was last seen by her mother. Five months after she was reported missing, her body was found.
