undefined(FULL VIDEO)30 yr old Elizabeth Rogers had an emotional outburst at the Pinellas County Florida Courthouse during day 11 of Jury Selection for the upcoming Casey Anthony Murder Trial scheduled to begin on Monday May 23 in Orlando.

Shouting from the gallery, "she killed somebody anyway", Rogers was immediately escorted from Judge Belvin Perry's courtroom. Within 15 minutes, after a short recess, during which the prospective juror being questioned was dismissed, Ms. Rogers was back in front of Perry to face Contempt of Court charges.

After an 8 minute hearing, Rogers, a self described mentally challenged individual, was convicted and sentenced to 2 days in jail. She was immediately taken into the custody of the Sheriff to begin her sentence.

She stated to the judge that she was in the courthouse for a Domestic Violence case involving herself and her incarcerated fiance in another courtroom and just came over to see for herself what the Anthony jury selection process looked like. She sobbed apologetically throughout her hearing telling the judge that her outburst was spontaneous and didn't realize what she had done until afterwards

Perry stated that if it hadn't been for her mental condition, he would have given her 179 days jail time over the ordeal..
