Caylee Anthony (Florida State Attorney's Office)
On Friday, more documents were released in the case against accused murderer, Casey Anthony. Among them was a report that indicated traces of chloroform were found inside a sports drink and a plastic syringe that were found near Caylee Anthony's remains.
Casey, 23, is charged with the first-degree murder of Caylee, 2.

Dr. Michael Rickenbach with the FBI determined that the syringe contained testosterone, ethanol, chloroform, and water.
According to Hal Boedeker with the Orlando Sentinel, news station WKMG is now reporting that the amount of chloroform found is miniscule and may not be the damning evidence needed to convict Casey of her daughter’s murder.
WKMG reporter Tony Pipitone said the station used an independent chemist to confirm that the concentration of chloroform found in the bottle was about 12 parts per billion. This is minor when compared to the 80 parts per billion of chloroform that can be found in tap water.
The report indicates that more testosterone than chloroform was found.

I don't know what to think anymore. They have confused the public and will also confuse a jury with all this "evidence"
I am sure there is hardly any chloroform left in the bottle. It was all used up on Caylee - it's purpose!
Ooh! This is a lot of damning evidence! Casey Anthony you are so screwed.
All I need to know as a juror is that she didn't report Caylee missing for 31 days, decomp was in the trunk, and her behavior while daughter was missing was deplorable. Chloroform searches on her pc and evidence thereafter sealed her fate. Hope Caylee haunts you, Casey.
ONLY SICK PEOPLE WILL DO THESE THINGS TO A BABY SHE DIDNT EVEN GET TO LIVE HER LIFE SHE WILL ONE DAY BUT I KNW NOW SHE IS IN HEAVEN THE LORD HAVE HER HAND AND HE IS LEADING HER WAY
guilty!
Poor Baby!! How Dare Her Parents Try To Take Her Side They Are Just As STUPID I Hope This Girl Gets What She Deserve And That's NOT A Chance To Live GIVE HER DEATH Along With That Lady Who Sold Her Daughter And The Man Who Killed Her And May They All Rot In Hell IDC
