Casey Anthony's tattoo artist was the prosecution's final witness in the infamous Orlando, Florida, murder trial. Anthony is charged with murdering her two-year-old daughter in 2008. Bobby Williams took to the stand on Tuesday June 14, 2011, to testify about the controversial tattoo he had given to Anthony.c
Williams testified he had tattooed "bella vita" on Anthony on July 2, 2008—approximately two weeks after the defense claims that Anthony's daughter drowned in the family pool. The tattoo is Italian for "beautiful life" and has glimmering stars surrounding it. According to the prosecution, July 2 was two weeks after Anthony murdered her daughter using chloroform and duct tape.c
Williams also testified that Anthony's demeanor while he gave her the tattoo was "normal" and that she even seemed happy. If convicted, Anthony could face the death penalty. The defense will begin its case on Thursday morning.c
