ORLANDO, Fla. -- Caylee Anthony's autopsy results were released Friday afternoon after a court hearing.

The autopsy report contained similar information to what was already disclosed by the medical examiner's office, including the fact that cause of death could not be determined, but the medical examiner believes the manner of death was homicide.

In the opinion section of the autopsy, Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia detailed the reasons behind her conclusion that Caylee's death was a homicide.

Garavaglia noted that although there was "no trauma evident to the skeleton," the duct tape on Caylee's mouth "was clearly placed prior to decomposition." There was no soft tissue left on the remains when they were discovered in December.

Based on the fact that roots had begun to grow in the vertebrae of the skeleton, Garavaglia said, "There is nothing inconsistent with the body being placed there soon after the date of being last seen alive."

Toxicology tests detected no drugs.

Forensics expert Dr. Larry Kobilinski is advising Casey Anthony's defense team. He questioned much of what was included in the autopsy report.

"That is really not clear cut, I must say. It is not clear how the child died and if you don’t know how the child died, you really can't know it was a homicide," Kobilinski said.

Kobilinski noted that it only takes two weeks for a body to skeletonize in a Florida swamp, and he questioned the medical examiner's conclusions about when the body was put in the woods.

"I think that there are experts that might disagree with that. There is a question about when the body was placed there," Kobilinski said.

The prosecution also released the full test results from air samples taken from Casey Anthony's car. The results concluded that compounds associated with human decomposition were found.

Caylee's grandparents' lawyer filed a motion to block the release of the autopsy results, but it was denied.

"I think it is information that the public has the right to see. I'm going to deny your motion to restrict disclosure," Judge Stan Strickland said. "I'm not happy to make the ruling. It is something I legally have to do."

In court Friday morning, a visibly emotional George Anthony asked Strickland to delay the release of the autopsy results until Casey Anthony's criminal trial.

"Our family is still hurting and grieving the loss of Caylee Marie, and if the court would allow, please, give us some peace and show us some dignity by keeping this report sealed," George Anthony said.

Rachel Fugate, an attorney for the Orlando Sentinel, requested that the report be released.

Fugate questioned George Anthony about his participation in the vast media coverage given to the case.

"They have participated, voluntarily, in this public comment and I don’t think delaying the release of the autopsy reports is going to alleviate their grief or protect their privacy," Fugate said.

Fugate said she sympathized with the Anthonys' desire for privacy, but said the release of the autopsy results will help end speculation about the case.

"Privacy right does not trump the right to public access," Fugate said.

During his ruling, Strickland said he does not believe the release of the autopsy results will taint the jury pool.

The prosecution said it will remove any images from the report before releasing the autopsy results to the media.

The results were intended to be released with other documents on June 12, but a last-minute motion filed by the Anthony's pushed the release back one week so the matter could be heard by Strickland.

Casey Anthony's defense attorney, Jose Baez, said he less concerned about the report being released than he is about seating an impartial jury.

Casey Anthony, 23, was not in court for the hearing. She remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in the death of her daughter Caylee, whose remains were found in a wooded lot near the home they shared with her parents, George and Cindy Anthony.

Casey Anthony has pleaded not guilty to the charges, saying she left her daughter with a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez at an Orange County apartment complex. Casey Anthony said the two were gone when she returned to pick up her daughter.
