UPDATE: Casey’s defense attorney dropped a bombshell in his opening statements. He told the jury that Casey’s daughter Caylee wasn’t murdered but had drowned and Casey lied about it.

“She was never missing. She drowned in the family swimming pool,” Jose Baez said.

Casey’s father George Anthony was the first witness called. Baez claimed in his opening statements that he’d sexually abused Casey.  “You will hear stores about a family that is incredibly dysfunctional, you will hear about ugly things, secret things, things that people don’t speak about.”

Breaking Celebrity News is continuing to live stream  the proceedings.

Casey reported the girl was missing in July, 2008 -- a full month after she vanished and only after Casey's parents recovered their daughter’s car from a towing lot and noticed a foul smell in it.

In fact, when Casey's mother Cindy called 911 to report her granddaughter missing, she told the dispatcher: "There's something wrong. I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there has been a dead body in the [expletive] car."
