InSession Drane Burdick says the jurors may be asked to smell the tin can of car trunk sample that was tested by Arpad Vass. #CaseyAnthony

InSession Perry says he hopes she has some case law to back that up and that jurors are not witnesses. #CaseyAnthony

KBelichWFTV The judge said unless prosecutors have supporting case law.. It would almost certainly win Casey a new trial.

KBelichWFTV And now there are four possible jurors.. Three men, one woman, all white.
