Before the tabloid headlines, before the media crush, before Casey Anthony and her daughter Caylee became instantly recognizable, there were only two phone calls. Casey Anthony, the Florida woman accused of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee, sat sullen and at times sobbing listening to prosecutors lay out their opening statements in her murder trial. Nearly three years after Caylee was reported missing in the summer of 2008, the guilt phase of the death penalty trial is finally underway. HLN's Susan Hendricks recaps the prosecution's opening statement in Casey Anthony's murder trial. Casey Anthony lied - but didn't kill her daughter, a lawyer says at the start of the murder trial The defense attorney for a Florida mother charged with killing her 2-year-old daughter says the toddler drowned in a swimming pool. > Brett Shulman, right, waits in line with about 50 other people at the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando, Fla., to get a seat in the courtroom for the Casey Anthony trial, Tuesday, May 24, 2011.

The prosecution delievers opening remarks to the jury in the Casey Anthony trial. Today's proceedings will begin at 9 a.m. "It is time to tell the story of a little girl named Caylee." That's how Assistant State Attorney Linda Drane Burdick started her opening statement this morning. "Her doting parents George and Cindy Anthony, filled her room with toys," she said. "In the backyard was every little girl's dream -- a playhouse." (By MIKE SCHNEIDER, Associated Press) No witnesses saw what happened to 2 -year-old Caylee Anthony, and only her killer knows exactly how she died. No one has confessed. So when her mother, Casey Anthony, goes to trial Tuesday on murder charges, the jury's decision will likely come down to forensic evidence. Prosecutors plan to have jurors smell the odor from her car, present evidence of chloroform in the 1998 Pontiac Sunfire and present photos that they say show her partying with friends after her daughter disappeared. They also likely will seek testimony from a botanist, a hair and fiber examiner from an FBI lab, and a cadaver dog handler. Orlando, Fla.-- A Florida mother charged with her toddler's death will have her day in court almost three years after her 2-year-old daughter disappeared. Roughly 50 seating passes for the Casey Anthony Trial will be issued to those who line up outside the courthouse. Dozens of people arrived at the Orange County Courthouse before 6 a.m. today hoping to score tickets to the first day of the Casey Anthony trial. Today's proceedings will begin at 9 a.m. In December 2008, not long after authorities confirmed the tiny bones found in a wooded lot belonged to Caylee Marie Anthony, her mother's defense attorney made a statement he's never had to back-up. Could swatches of carpet from the trunk of Casey Anthony's car convince jurors to convict her of murdering her toddler daughter Caylee? TODAY's Savannah Guthrie provides legal analysis of the trial as it begins. (TODAY) A Florida mother charged with killing her 2-year-old daughter began crying Tuesday as a prosecutor described the child's last day in opening statements in the first-degree murder trial.
