Two men questioned Thursday morning became the 12th and 13th potential jurors in the pool. Judge Belvin Perry told the 13 remaining potential jurors to go home, begin planning to leave town and return for swearing in Friday unless they are notified they have been stricken, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.
A group of 30 people was brought in Thursday afternoon to be questioned in order to begin selecting alternates.
Jury selection is taking place outside Orlando in the Tampa area because of intense media coverage near where the alleged murder of 2-year old Caylee Anthony occurred.
Casey Anthony could face the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder in her daughter's 2008 death. She is also charged with aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and providing false information to law enforcement. She has pleaded not guilty and maintains a babysitter kidnapped Caylee.
According to Judge Perry, jurors will be transported to Orlando on Sunday.
