Casey Anthony's Legal Team Uses Surprise Defense, Claims Daughter Drowned

Casey Anthony's Legal Team Uses Surprise Defense, Claims Daughter Drowned: "Casey Anthony's defense opened with a stunning surprise Tuesday, claiming two-year-old Caylee drowned in the family's swimming pool in 2008.

In opening statements, prosecutors accused Anthony, 25, of killing her daughter, alleging she murdered the child by covering her mouth and nose with duct tape. Prosecutors said the young mom waited a month before telling her own mother that Caylee was missing.

Caylee's remains were found near the family's home in December 2008.

When the defense opened, Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, stunned the courtroom with the unexpected explanation that Anthony didn't report that her daughter missing because Caylee allegedly drowned in the pool."
