Excerpt:

A University of Central Florida chemistry professor testified this morning that air samples from Casey Anthony's trunk showed traces of gasoline, chloroform and other volatile chemicals.

Dr. Michael Sigman also found a chemical known to be used in degreasers or stain removers.

The findings showed three chemicals, including chloroform, that have been associated with human decomposition, as well as cabbage and Chlorox; however, Sigman said these compounds "gave very low responses in the instrument."

"I cannot conclusively determine that the presence of those compounds indicated that there had been human remains in the trunk of the car," told defense attorney Cheney Mason.
