Attorneys for Florida mother accused of killing daughter, 2, argue to block 911 call

Casey Anthony’s attorneys try to block 911 tape

ORLANDO, Fla. — Attorneys for a Florida mother accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter are trying to get a 911 call from the defendant’s own mother blocked from court.

Casey Anthony’s mother says she was under stress when she told a 911 dispatcher that her daughter’s car smelled like a dead body had been in it.

Cindy Anthony testified Thursday during a pretrial hearing in Orlando. She says she sensed a lack of urgency when she called 911 and said whatever would get the dispatcher’s attention so that officers would come out to her house.

Casey Anthony has pleaded not guilty to killing her 2-year-old daughter. She says a baby sitter kidnapped her daughter, Caylee. The toddler’s remains were found about six months after Casey Anthony said she last saw her alive.
