    ORLANDO, Fla. -

    The state attorney's office has filed motions in two different cases against Casey Anthony, including a request to photograph one of her tattoos from jail.

    In motions filed on Monday, the prosecution requested to take photographs of a tattoo on Anthony's shoulder.

    Tattoo artist Danny Colomarino told investigators he gave Anthony the tattoo, which says "La Vita Bella," meaning the beautiful life, in early July 2008, two weeks after her daughter, Caylee Anthony, went missing.

    The prosecution asked a judge for permission to photograph the tattoo from jail and said the photo will be relevant in Anthony's murder trial.

    In the other motion, prosecutors asked that a trial date be set in the check fraud case against Anthony.

    Last fall, Anthony's defense asked that the check fraud trial be delayed so they could focus on the murder charges against Anthony, but in a motion filed on Friday, the prosecution asked that the trial be set for a date within the next 60 days.

    Now that it is a death penalty case, it could take more than a year for Anthony's murder trial to begin.

    "It is unreasonable to allow the forgery case to languish for another year without resolution," the motion said.

    The check fraud charges against Anthony stem from accusations from former friend Amy Huizenga that Anthony made several purchases using Huizenga's checks.

    Anthony allegedly purchased the white sunglasses she was photographed wearing last summer, as well as the blue hooded sweater she was wearing when she was arrested at Target in July 2008, using Huizenga's checks.

    Huizenga said Anthony spent $1,300 using stolen checks.

    If Anthony is convicted on the check fraud charges, that information most likely will not be able to be used against her in the murder trial, but could be taken into consideration when a judge is determining her sentence.

    Anthony, 23, is being held at the Orange County Jail on first-degree murder charges in the death of her daughter. Caylee was 2 when she was reported missing in July. Her body was found in a wooded area near the Anthony family home in December.
