iPhone apps are live streaming the trial of a mother accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter.

Casey Anthony, 25, is standing trial in Orange County, Florida on a charge of first-degree murder. Her 2-year-old daughter Caylee’s disappearance in the summer of 2008 became a national obsession.

The $0.99 Casey Anthony app offers a live stream of the trial plus audio interviews and 911 calls and court documents.

This one of three apps about the Anthony case, another released mid-May from Hearst also offers a live stream of the trial.

If people have long sat in on public trials as a form of entertainment, these apps bring that kind of participation to new levels.
