decide. casey's fate is in their hands and her future is in the air. tonight, a potential life for death decision for the woman accused of murder. plus, restoring a flag that flew at ground zero. >> we are going to have some where between 20,000, maybe 30,000 stitchs. >> and fixing this flag may be healing some hearts. >> it meant so much to me as a needleworker, as a mother of an american soldier who willingly volunteered his service and lost his life doing so. >> tonight on the rise of freedom, the true fabric of america. but first, from fox, on this fourth of july, the jury in the casey anthony trial spent nearly six hours considering her fate on their first day of deliberations. so far, though, no verdict and just about an hour ago the judge dismissed the jurors until morning. the jury is considering a total of 7 charges against the central florida woman accused of killing her little girl. if the jury convicts casey anthony of murder or murder with aggravated child abuse she could get life in prison or a death sentence. the prosecution tried to shoot down the defense theory that little caylee's death was just an accidental drowning that snowballed out of control. >> no person would ever make the accidental death of a child look like murder. the defendant's actions during those 31 days and her response to this are completely inconsistent with what people do 100% of the time. >> prosecutors also pointed to pictures of casey out partying after her daughter's disappearance and argued that casey was the one who benefited by caylee's death. over the weekend the defense ridiculed that idea. >> she now wants her freedom? is that what you do to get freedom, you kill somebody? that's outrageous. that's nonsense. nobody is going to come looking for little caylee? she is going to get to party every day and every night? that's nonsense. that is complete and total nonsense. >> now, that is completely and totally up to the jury. phil keating has been covering the trial since it began a month ago. he is live outside the courtroom in orlando. any questions or issues from the jury thus far, phil? >> not one question so far presented by the jury. if and when they do perhaps tomorrow we will all be called back into the courtroom to have the question read in court. just about an hour ago judge perry convened the court. the jury walked in. casey anthony sat at the defense table looking quite animated as if she was in quite a positive mood here after six hours of deliberations without a verdict yet coming in. then in short order, judge perry sent the jury back to their hotel for sequestration. >> we are going to let you go for the evening, eat your dinner, get a good night's rest and maybe something else tonight. we will reconvene here in the morning at 8:30 where you can begin your deliberations. >> what that something special is the judge didn't say, maybe a movie. the jury all back at the hotel at this point. they leave in two window tinted vans escorted by the sheriff's department. they got out of here early because of the fourth of july celebration just two blocks from where we are and just missed this rainstorm in orlando. >> in order for the premeditated murder charge to stick the key for the state is the duct tape? >> absolutely. the duct tape combined with the chloroform searches on the internet and the stench, the smell of human decomposition testified to about casey's car. the duct tape, not just one piece, not two pieces but three pieces and during the closing arguements the state of florida hammered home that point to the jury. maybe one piece of tape could shut a kid up if that is what you are going to do in a child abusive way. three, this is only one intention and that is to suffocate that child. here is jeff ashton. >> on that we agree diswhrarks duct tape on caylee anthony's face came from the anthony home. but here is -- so the argument then goes well, george anthony having somehow discovered this drowning which we will talk to a few minutes ago, there is no evidence actually happened, for some reason decides to dispose of the evidence of this completely innocent accident and for some reason that no one can even propose decides to put duct tape on caylee's face. now, getting past the fact that there is just no conceivable reason why anybody would put duct tape on the face of a dead child. i said it before, people don't make accidents look like murder. that's absurd. >> one of the strongest lines from the lead prosecutor in front of the jury this morning was that if in fact caylee anthony truly did accidentally drown in the swimming pool her body would have been found in the water of that pool, not dumped in a swamp down the street. john? >> but the defense argues the duct tape as evidence is totally unreliable style >> that is true and it is key for them, nobody knows with absolute certainty exactly how that suct tape was placed on caylee anthony's face it f. in fact it was. the defense argued that mother nature moved the bones, rain, animals scattered and moved the bones so the bones were not in the position they were when they were originally dumped in the woods. this they pointed to roy kronk. he thought he saw a skull back in '08 and then discovers the bones back in december. he testified that he moved the skull around as well as perhaps the duct tape itself and jose baez brought up the animation presented by the prosecution where you see caylee's face morphing into her skull. her he is, jose baez. >> mr. fn fantasy man. dr. warren who for some reason showed you a video of a smiling casey and a smiling casey with some duct tape that he got off the internet. he googled it. got that photo and stuck some duct tape on it on for toe shop and there you go. there is your new murder weapon of the week. that is how she died. well, that is not evidence. and he himself said the only reason i suggested is that to show it could have happened. well, she could have been shot but they don't have a video of her getting shot. even though they could have done one. she could have died any number of ways and they didn't show you videos of that. >> now, this being the fourth of july, a national holiday, a lot of people here in the orlando area downtown for the fireworks and a lot of them came by the courthouse to see for themselves the spectacle that is of the casey anthony murder trial and this is the media scrum pounding jose baez, casey anthony's attorney and jay cheney mason as they left the courthouse, just going across the street to get peace and quiet, rest and relaxation and await the jury's deliberation to a verdict. more than 30 media outlets have petitioned the court to get a seat inside the room where the jurors that are willing to participate will give a post verdict news conference whenever that is. we will reseu resume deliberats tomorrow morning at 8:30. >> the 7 men and women following the case are following precise inmates instructions found in a 26-page document. the judge warned them not to deviate from the instructions. >> you must follow the rules in order to return a lawful verdict. you must follow the law as it is set out in these instructions. if you fail to follow the law your verdict will be a justice.ge of jus moments of there is no reason for failing to follow the law in this case. all are us are dependent upon you to make a wise and legal decision in this matter. >> and judge belvin perry noted this is their decision and theirs alone and they are not to talk about the case with any one outside the jury room. holly bristow has been inside the courtroom for the trial. 35 days in, holly, how is the jury holding up. >> it certainly has been. surprisingly they were very attentive today. there were worries after yesterday, i saw several getting extremely fidgety and looking around the courtroom more than they had before. but not today. they were completely 100% focused as the state was up there giving rebuttal on the closing arguments and i notice four jurors taking notes particularly at one particular instance right as that now infamous 911 call was being played, the one made by cindy anthony the day that she realized her dwrand daughter missing.aughter was >> she has been missing for a month. her mother finally admitted that she was missing. we are talking about a 3-year-old little girl. my daughter finally admitted that the babysitter stole her. i need to find her. >> the baby is where? >> the baby sitter took her, my daughter is looking for her. i just found my daughter today but i can't find my grand daughter. she just admitted to me that she has been trying to find her herself. there is something wrong. i found my daughter's car today and it smells like there has been a dead body in the damn car. >> i notice two jurors looking up while that 91 cal 911 call s being made at casey anthony. you might be wondering what she was doing at that time. she was taking a sip of water. john? >> and there is one statement by the prosecution you found particularly moving today? >> there certainly was. linda drane burdick was bringing her case to a complete case today. she asked who would have a better life if caylee were no longer around. cindy? no, you heard her voice in the 911 call. and she said what about casey and then they played this. >> whose life was better? that is the omaha bank question need to answer in considering why caylee marie anthony was left on the side of the road dead. >> strong words and a very memorable image. casey anthony, the bella veda tatoo and there casey anthony in the hot body contest. and that is what the the jury was left with, john. >> we will take a closer look at the charges against casey anthony later this hour with judge alex ferrer. first, the former financial superstar dominique strauss khan has another headache. looks like another accusation is taking shape. who is accusing him and what she says he did, has fox reports, tonight. as a manager, my team counts on me to stay focused. so i take one a day men's 50+ advantage. it's the only complete multivitamin with ginkgo to support memory and concentration. plus it supports heart health.

>> i think the prosecution made the stronger closing argument but it is imperative that they do it because they have a high burden. they have to prove it beyond every reasonable doubt to all of the jurors. the defense only has to convince one juror that there is reasonable doubt and one juror can upset the entire apple cart and require a new trial. in the end, i think ms. burdick drove the point home, showing early clips of casey talking to her mother and seeming completely insensitive to this daughter who by her own admission was already dead. i think the prosecution won that battle. >> that clip is something that the jurors hadn't heard since the early days of the trial and the prosecution seemed to use it to great effect today. let's listen. >> i saw your nice little cameo on t.v. >> which one?

>> well, they were trying to show how erratic behavior she was presenting for a mother who according to the defense had lost her own daughter just a month earlier to this tragic horrible accident and co-en insides with her behavior and going out and partying and getting a tatoo and living it up. plays into the prosecution theory that this 23-year-old mother was tired of having a child holding per back. she was in jail at that point still saying her daughter was kidnapped but according to the defense and prosecution she knows that she was dead at that point. >> it seemed to me the prosecution did a very good job of pointing to the duct tape was found wrapped around the little girl's skull and said nobody takes an accident and makes it look like murder. >> that is absolutely true. they coul do the opposite. they take a murder and try to make it look like an accident. nobody does it in the inverse. they made a good point of saying nobody puts duct tape on the face of a child, living or dead unless the goal is to suffocate the child. the medical cominner said that was one of the big factors in determining this was a homicide. and they played up the part that a grieving grandfather who finds his granddaughter in the pool drown is not going to dump the body in the woods like a piece of garbage and make it look like a murder. >> judge alex, thanks for watching that trial with us. continuing coverage tomorrow of the casey anthony murder trial. tune in to studio b as we await a verdict in the case. we will have reporters inside and outside the courtroom. plus, our team of legal experts to break it all down. and tonight, judge jeanine pirro hosts a two hour special on the trial beginning right here on fox news channel. police in indianapolis have found a bad di badly decomposey of a woman in a city creek. they have not been able to determine whether it is that of missing indiana university student lauren spearer who was last seen on june 3 walking to her apartment alone after a night out with friends. this is a security camera video of a woman believed to be her on the night she disappeared. last week, police in bloomington announced the end of a search because they had no solid leads. an autopsy on the body found in the creek scheduled to take place tomorrow. if the u.s. has information on the location of a suspected terrorist should it try to capture that person or just kill them?
