Lead defense attorney Jose Baez says he has about six more witnesses to call beginning Wednesday, but has not said whether Anthony will testify.
Tuesday, defense lawyers put the meter reader, Roy Kronk, who found 2-year-old Caylee Anthony's remains, on the stand.
The defense tried to prove what they claimed during opening statements that Kronk somehow got a hold of Caylee's remains and planted them in the woods to obtain a reward. Lead defense attorney Jose Baez described Kronk as "morally bankrupt," reports CBS affiliate WKMG.
During cross-examination, the prosecution showed that Kronk knew none of the members of the Anthony family and therefore had no access to Caylee's belongings and the duct tape found in the Anthony home that they believe was used to suffocate Caylee, reports the station.
Anthony, 25, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Caylee's death and could face the death penalty if convicted of that charge. The prosecution says she used duct tape to suffocate the toddler. The defense says the girl drowned in her grandparents' swimming pool.
