Casey Anthony is on trial for the murder of her daughter , among other charges . Testimony concluded Friday , and closing arguments are expected on Sunday . The case has been a media sensation ever since it was first reported in June 2012 that Caylee had not died at all but instead went missing from an Orlando hotel room after being left alone with her mother On Friday , after all the evidence had been presented , the defense again requested that the case against Casey Anthony be dismissed -- claiming that the prosecution had failed to adequately show how Caylee Anthony died and at whose hands . The defense calls it `` a tragic accident that happened to some very disturbed people ''
