Emergeny Hearing to Be Held Today In Casey Anthony Case

Judge Stan Strickland will address three motions filed by Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez.

The motions will ask that the Orange County Sheriff's Office turn over photographs, video recordings and drawings taken at the crime scene where a child's remains were found on Thursday. The location is very near the Anthony home.

A second motion asks that the defense be allowed to conduct a second autopsy on the remains, and the final motion seeks to preserve forensic evidence and appoint a forensic expert for the court.

Meanwhile, investigators continued to work to identify the remains of the child found last week.

For the first time, Caylee's grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, said they believe the toddler has died.

The crime scene was quiet early Tuesday morning, but investigators were expected to return for a sixth day to search for clues that could lead them to a killer.

The FBI has taken DNA samples and fingerprints from George, Cindy and Lee Anthony. Family attorney Brad Conway said that's to exclude them from investigation.

Conway said both George and Cindy continue to support their daughter.

"Everybody wants to make sure that there are no mistakes made. Everybody wants to make sure that the person responsible for this crime is held responsible for it, and if that happens to be Casey (Anthony), a jury of her peers will have to make that decision," Conway said.

A memorial to Caylee continued to grow on Tuesday. What started as a single cross with flowers attached to it now includes flowers, Teddy bears, balloons and other stuffed animals.
