ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – A police computer forensics expert testified Wednesday in the trial of Casey Anthony, the Florida mother charged with killing her 2-year-old daughter.
Sandra Osborne of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office was called by prosecutors to testify about photos and Internet searches on a desktop computer at Anthony’s home. Prosecutors have said previously that an Internet search on chloroform was conducted with the computer. Osborne said her analysis of the computer found searches for chloroform in the deleted space in the computer’s memory.
Forensics scientists testified this week that high levels of chloroform were found in Anthony’s car. Chloroform is a chemical that is associated with human decomposition but the compound also can be used to render a person unconscious.
