Prosecutors want photo of Casey Anthony's tattoo "Bella Vita"
Prosecutors have filed motions asking to take photographs of the tattoo on Casey Anthony’s shoulder. According to tattoo artist Danny Colomarino, he gave Casey the tattoo in July 2008, sometime after her daughter, 2-year-old Caylee Anthony disappeared, Examiner reports. The tattoo reportedly read, “bella vita” or “beautiful life.”
"Given the complexities of the two cases, it is unreasonable to allow the forgery case to languish another year without a resolution," Assistant State Attorney Frank George wrote in the two-page request. A picture of the tattoo "would be relevant and material in evaluating issues to be presented in connection with the upcoming trial," he wrote.
Casey Anthony, 23, is charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee Marie. She is also charged with more than a dozen fraud charges, including fraudulent use of personal identification information, forgery of a check and uttering a forged check.
Anthony's friend, Amy Huizenga, told investigators that she loaned her car to Anthony while Huizenga was on vacation last summer. When she returned, Huizenga learned checks were missing from her car and that her bank account had a zero balance.
Authorities say Anthony used her friend's check to buy more than $400 worth of clothes and groceries at area Target and Winn-Dixie stores. According to investigators, she also withdrew $250 from the bank and attempted to pay a $574 phone bill, but there wasn't enough money left in Huizenga's account.
Casey's trial is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 12.
Last month, attorneys said the murder trial won't likely happen until next year.
