ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- An Orange County judge decided at a Friday hearing to allow the release of Caylee Anthony's autopsy report to the public. WFTV was the first station to obtain the autopsy report results.

The autopsy report for slain toddler Caylee Anthony agrees with authorities' contention the girl was killed, but says the method is unclear.

The report says there was no trauma to Caylee's skeleton, but notes duct tape was over the lower part of her face. The autopsy says the tape was clearly placed before the body began to decompose.

"The duct tape was placed there not as an afterthought, but to in fact stop breathing," said WFTV Legal Analyst Bill Sheaffer.

The medical examiner's report said Caylee's body was dumped shortly after decomposition. Also, there was no evidence of trauma or drugs in her system.

The report also states that it took approximately two weeks for Caylee's body to disintegrate into bones because of the heat.

At the court hearing, George and Cindy Anthony did not get the answer they wanted. George was emotional as he spoke to Judge Stan Strickland to try to convince him not to release his granddaughter's autopsy report.

"Please show us some peace and some dignity by keeping this report sealed," said George Anthony to Judge Strickland.

The Anthonys said releasing the report would cause them even more anguish and they were afraid that the results will be exploited.

"This last year has been an emotional strain for our entire family," said George. "The protection of our family's rights and privacy and emotional well-being, has been tossed aside over and over again."

Judge Stan Strickland said he agreed that the case is all about Caylee, but justice was his focus. He also agreed that the media and the community have a right to monitor the costly case to make sure there is justice for Caylee.

On June 10, George and Cindy Anthony's attorney, Brad Conway, filed a motion to block (read motion) Caylee's autopsy result findings. Judge Stan Strickland, however, ordered a stay (read order) on the release of the findings.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony has been charged in the girl's death. She has pleaded not guilty and says a baby sitter kidnapped her toddler. Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty if she is convicted of first-degree murder.

JUDGE SEALS JAILHOUSE VIDEO OF CASEY ANTHONY

A judge ruled Wednesday to seal the jailhouse video of Casey Anthony on the day she learned a child's remains were found near her house. Judge Stan Strickland issued a 3-page order (read it) Wednesday to seal the video that was recorded on December 11.

"While the Court is loathe to shield any public record, an argument can certainly be made that the contents of the video are highly inflammatory," Judge Stan Strickland wrote in his order.

WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said the ruling basically means the public's right to see the video was outweighed by Casey's right to a fair trial, especially considering the national attention surrounding the case.

"The court is very concerned that she may in fact not get a fair trial in a case with the ultimate penalty, which is death," Sheaffer said (watch full interview).

Casey's defense team had argued that their client's rights were violated when she was videotaped. The video in question reportedly shows Anthony doubling over and hyperventilating after learning her daughter's remains were found as she watched Channel 9.

"Her hands started to sweat. She started rubbing them profusely. She was in waist chains and handcuffs and she kept saying, 'The waist chains are getting tighter and tighter on me, please loosen them,'" Jail Lt. Tammy Unser told Detective Philip Graves during an interview on the afternoon of December 11 (listen to interview).

Defense attorney's argued that releasing the surveillance video would violate Anthony's right to privacy since it was filmed while she was in a medical office at the Orange County Jail, seeking medical treatment. Anthony's attorneys have alleged that her jailers worked with the Orange County Sheriff's Office to have the television news on in the medical office so Anthony's reaction could be recorded.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office has said there was no orchestration with the jail.

"Considering the matter and penalty at hand, it does seem too great a restraint to limit access to the video in question. Therefore, the defendant's Motion to Seal the videotape is granted, and it must not be released for viewing by the general public or media, until further order of the court," Judge Stan Strickland wrote in his order.

The Orlando Sentinel filed a motion to intervene, which Judge Strickland granted (order granting motion) Wednesday. Rachel Fugate, the attorney for the Orlando Sentinel -- which had filed the motion to unseal the video -- said Judge Strickland was prudent in his ruling.

"We certainly wish the videotape would have been released, but we certainly appreciate the consideration the judge gave to this matter," said Fugate. "We don't have any reason to believe there was something wrong in his ruling."

Sheaffer said the ruling does not mean the video can't be used as evidence in the trial. That decision will come later. The judge did point out that sealing the video could be just a delay and that at some point after the trial is over the video might be released.
