Anybody who has been watching the Casey Anthony murder trial in Orlando has been impressed by the prosecution’s case in chief.
They have linked the duct tape, clothing, lying, and a host of other elements that seem to point to a guilty verdict.
And today the prosecution rested their case by ending with one very important witness.
Bobby Williams.
Williams is a tattoo artist who inked Casey with a tat that says “Bella Vita” in July of 2008.
Why is this so incriminating?
Because Casey received her tattoo less than a month after her daughter went missing and the definition for “Bella Vita” is “the good life” or “a beautiful life”.
More specifically, Italians use that phrase to mean without worry, carefree, no obligations, relieved from life’s problems.

Not a good move after killing your daughter and throwing her in the woods like a pile of trash.
Tomorrow the defense gets their chance to make sense out of all the lies Casey has told them.
Twenty-two year old Dani is a splitting image of teen pop sensation Justin Bieber – and she doesn’t like it one bit.
Shay hails from Orlando Florida and is a singer songwriter who considers herself part of the Indie, acoustic, folk genre – NOT the teenage bubble gum puppy love genre.
And she’s not a boy – she’s a girl and proud of it.
In fact, back when people started telling her she was a splitting image of Bieber she didn’t even know who they were talking about.
Over time, it got to be such a problem she wasn’t really sure how to deal with it - so she pleaded with fans to take a deeper look at her – and not just look at the surface.
She made her plea via YouTube with the following video:
As Biebermania exploded, Shay grew frustrated that all anybody wanted to hear her play at her live shows was “Baby”. So she set out to rectify the problem with her own version of Bieber’s hit song “Baby” – she called it “What the Hell?”
Dani says she wrote the “Baby” parody as her way to fight back when people saw her for who THEY wanted her to be and not the person she really was.
Dani says,
“I am stopped everywhere I go because people think I am Justin Bieber. Before I even knew who he was, no matter what I was wearing, I would be asked for photos, autographs. “What The Hell” was my response to that. It expresses my initial confusion, the shock when I finally saw his face, the frustration with people only seeing him when they see me.”

Dani very much has her own musical style, and even covers an Eminem song, but her biggest frustration was being compared to Bieber.
Her solo album “See Me Now” can be purchased from her website DaniShay.com, and she will autograph it on request and refers to it as her “pre-fame” album.
So, will Dani Shay become famous?
After last night - the answer is probably yes!
You see, Shay took the stage at the “America’s Got Talent” Houston auditions last night and had the opportunity to sing “What the hell” in front of 20 million television viewers.
She was a smash hit! The audience and AGT judges loved it and we’re sure we will be seeing more of her.
Billy Bob Thornton and family got some bad news today.
His estranged oldest daughter, Amanda Brumfield, was found guilty of the accidental death of her friend’s 1-year-old daughter, after claiming the girl died when she fell from her playpen.
Brumfield was originally charged with murder and child abuse.
The death was caused by a 1-inch fracture to the young girl’s skull and bleeding from the brain, but Brumfield maintained her defense that the child died by accident.
The jury agreed with her and found her guilty of manslaughter, a lesser crime, and accidental death instead.
Brumfield is expected back in an Orlando Florida court room in July to receive her sentence.
Billy Bob has not had contact with his oldest daughter for years. She was the child of Thornton and Melissa Lee Gatlin.
After Thornton and Gatlin divorced, Billy Bob married and divorced again before getting hitched to Hollywood A-list actress Angelina Jolie. That marriage ended in divorce also and Jolie went on to marry actor Brad Pitt.
Thornton is best known for his roles in The Informers, Mr. Woodcock, School for Scoundrels, Bad News Bears, Friday Night Lights, Bad Santa, Monster's Ball, Pushing Tin, Primary Colors, Sling Blade, Indecent Proposal, just to name a few.
The actor is currently filming the animated movie “Puss in Boots” due out later this year, and “The Baytown Disco”, a thriller about three redneck brothers who agree to help a woman save her son from an abusive father.
Thornton is also the lead singer of the band Boxmasters.
