ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony broke down crying as prosecutors called her a liar who murdered her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.
Anthony sat unemotional during the first 45 minutes of prosecutor Jeff Ashton's closing argument Sunday. But she then closed her eyes and rested her chin on her fist.
She began weeping silently when Ashton called her claim that Caylee drowned and that Anthony's father made the death look like a murder a lie that makes no sense.
The 25-year-old Anthony is charged with murdering her daughter three years ago. If convicted of first-degree murder, she could get the death penalty.
