Opening Statements, May 24, 2011/DEFENSE

resumes. Judge Perry on the bench. Jury enters. Cindy and George  are not in court. Are they avoiding potential  accusations of molestation and abuse by Casey Anthony.
Jose Baez begins his opening statement. Baez states he will tell us "what happened" during his opening statement. He states he will tell us about Roy Krumps participation in Caylees' death. He describes investigation .as desperate in nature. Appears they are going to blame  Roy Krump.Baez states this is not a case of Murder, Manslaughter or child abuse/neglect. Hmm. Baez states Caylee died in the swimming pool on June 16th, 2008.
CaseyAnthony appears to have a serious expression as Jose Baez is delivering his opening statement.
"On June 16th, Casey began hiding her pain, as sheh has done all of her life" Casey is crying. Baez states "Casey loved her child". Casey shakes her head "Yes." Baez states  George started molesting her at the age of 4 and it escalated. Baez describes her as a child abuse victim.  When Casey came home and told family she was pregnant, she was told to "be quiet."  Cindy and George denied Casey was pregnant at her uncles wedding. Cindy said." She was retaining water." and at times Casey was described as having a tumor. Casey was known to have worn a heavy overcoat in the summer, when visiting her moms job. Although, Cindys coworkers speculated, she denied it to be true. Lee touched Casey but it never went to intercouse. Per Baez, he did not deny it to FBI.Ca sey breaks down and sobs when Baez states Casey was groomed to lie. She could go to school at th age of 13 "after having a penis in her mouth." She breaks down and George "sighs."
Baez states, George Anthony took Casey Anthony in his arms after taking her out of the pool. He screamed  Casey would go to jail for child neglect and her mother would never forgive her. She begged her father for help and then the began the "cover -up.!" 
The family was religious about removing the ladder because Caylee could open the sliding glass door. She was known to wake up asking to swim. Cindy had reported to co-workers someone had been using their pool without their permission. Baez states after reporting the pool ladder incident to detectives they did not investigate it further. 
George was involved in the coverup and took steps to throw Casey under the bus to protect herself. The removal of gas from the shed was not an isolated incident by Casey. She was known to be unemployed and would often take gas from can. George knew and due  to his knowledge of police protocal , he knew if he reported the missing gas, 9 days later, after drowning, no one would investigate event. 
George was telling everybody(except Casey)  after the car was returned that the car smelled like a dead body. He went to the police station himself and requested interview with detectives to report the small. He reported the gas can again and it had the duct tape on it, the same that was on Caylee. George sits in the gallery with his head down.
George met a woman while passing out flyers. He had an affair. They day before the remains were found, George admitted to woman that      Caylee's death was a "accident." while sobbing.   George will deny he had an affair but the guard at her apartment will testify he was there and spent alot of time. It was after that disclosue that he attempted to kill himself. Baez states he will not say George killed Caylee but it was an accident. Baez begins Roy Krumps  participation and states he buried  Caylee in the woods. He states Roy was persistant at reporting because he was "morally  bankrupt" and thought he would get 250,000 dollar reward. Baez demonstrates with measuring tape how far Caylees' body  was from street. It does not appear far, about 20 feet. He states so many people went by site to search and yet no one found her body.  Caylees body was not found until December 11, 2008.  He states water was not an issue.  
WHY IF CAYLEE DROWNED ACCIDENTLY DID THEY LEAVE CASEY IN JAIL FOR 3 YEARS? DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
Baez goes on to describe Roys Krumps involvement in the discovery of the body.Describes it as "for profit." But he does not say how the body got there." Baez state we will never  know how the body got there and how he knew it was the there.  (Well George would have had to be involved.)  I guess Jose Baez is setting up reasonable doubt. He needs just ONE juror to believe . Just ONE.Now Baez is blaming Tim Millers rescuers and private detectives. Now we move on to the decomposition and he blames it on the trash.Jose Baez states George was setting up the blame on Casey, while saying "I hope that is not my granddaughter in the car." He states George knew everything that happened. Now he moves on to Cindy. He states Cindy knew what happened . Co-workers state they were telling Cindy to call the police in regard to the car being found but she refused due to worry about "appearances." It wasn't until the supervisor made her go home was she forced to call police. He describes Cindy's desperate 911 call t o police as an act , due to George hat we do not hear on the 911 call. Cindy is reported  to turn to and say "George , Casey says the nanny to k her and George does not respond because he knows she did not.  He reports the family are liars and George was saying he had a job but was getting money from his mistress. 
cadaver dog. He states there are supposed to be multiple cars to search not just the suspected vehicle.
Baez goes on to challenge the air samples and the methodology of processing. He describes Dr vonn testimony as self serving  as he is trying to profit off a tool  he is patenting to sell to police departments.  He goes on to dispute the forensic evidence even the placement of the duct tape ad the DNA on it. 
Baez states the jury will not be able to convict Casey becausee  despite all the testimony they will not be able to say how she died. 
Recess.
