ORLANDO, Fla. – A forensic expert says heart-shaped stickers were found in Casey Anthony’s bedroom but didn’t testify whether the items were linked to similar outlines on duct tape on the body of the Florida woman’s slain 2-year-old daughter.

Even so, the stickers shown to jurors at the 25-year-old’s murder trial today over the objection of defense lawyers were powerful images just before the prosecution wraps up its case.

Crime scene investigator Alina Burroughs told jurors the stickers were found in a box and a scrapbook, along with a letter addressed to Caylee Anthony.
