The father of Casey Anthony testified today that he found maggots and smelled a dead body in the trunk of his daughter's car a month after his granddaughter went missing.
Anthony's car has again become the focus of her trial after a day of witnesses who testified about her 'happy' demeanour and party-girl lifestyle in the days after she allegedly killed her daughter.
George Anthony told the court that when he went to pick up his 25-year-old daughter's car, he smelled 'something that you would never forget' and said a quick prayer that he would not find the body of his daughter or granddaughter when he opened the trunk.
Instead he found maggots and a bag of rubbish.
This is the third time Mr Anthony has testified in his daughter's trial, who is accused of murdering two-year-old Caylee Anthony.
The child's remains were found wrapped in a Winnie the Pooh blanket, stuffed in plastic bags. The prosecution claims she died from three pieces of duct tape on her nose and mouth, although the medical examiner was never able to determine a cause of death.
The defence claims the girl accidentally drowned on June 16, 2008, and that Casey never told anyone. If convicted, she could face the death penalty. Read More
