As testimony is given in the case against Casey Anthony for murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee looms, more and more people are tuning in to their televisions for the latest coverage.

Gruelling testimony has been given in the case, suggesting that Casey chloroformed her daughter and duct taped her mouth shut. Reportedly, a sticker was placed over the duct tape.

Casey’s defense has insisted that Caylee drowned in the family’s swimming pool and that her father helped her to cover up the death. Casey didn’t report the child missing until a month after she’d been gone. However, she was seen partying with friends and making purchases of beer and clothes in the days ahead.

We’ve learned that coverage of the trial has ratings for the channels covering it, soaring. HLN has already boosted ratings by focusing on the trial coverage. The network has seen a 150 percent increase in viewership since the trial began.

In addition, Dr. Drew Pinsky has also started regular coverage and has seen his ratings triple. Dateline started out its coverage by recapping the events, but now is focusing on the events that unfolded the day Caylee passed away. Also jumping aboard is The View, who has dedicated a daily segment to the trial coverage.

Stay tuned as more details on the trial are made available.
