A verdict in the Casey Anthony murder trial has been reached and will be announced at 2:15 p.m. ET.

Anthony is also charged with six other counts in the death of Caylee, including aggravated manslaughter of a child; aggravated child abuse; and four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.

Defense attorneys claim that Caylee Anthony died after she accidentally drowned in the family pool. Casey didn't report the death.

Anthony has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Jury deliberations began Monday after 46 days of trial. The verdict will be delivered by 12 jurors.
