Jailhouse videos, Cindy andGeorge Anthony ,July 25, 2008, 1400pcourt tape 2

Jose is asking for a mistrial due to the disparaging g remarks about him and Caseys choice of attorneys.
He states that is not relevant.
The prosecutor and Judge Perry gave him until Dec 31, 2010 to bring  motions forward. There was no inquiry requests either. Jose Baez has the tapes since 2008.  Jose states he admits not being timely in motion but he feels he needs to raise the issue on his clients behalf.
The jury returns.
The video does not start until 11: 30 per  the prosecutor.Defense has no objections other then his other objections.

On the morning of July 25th, 2008, Casey got her first jailhouse visits from her brother, Lee, and her parents, George and Cindy.  Lee visited Casey first and then around 9 a.m. George and Cindy shared their first visitation with their daughter since learning their granddaughter, Caylee, was missing and Casey was subsequently arrested.

At approximately 2 minutes and 30 second into the taped visitation between George, Cindy and Casey, one of the first jaw-dropping moments in the “dynamics” between the Anthony parents and Casey Anthony occurred that would ultimately be viewed by the public.  It was the first instance of watching Cindy guide Casey away from potentially telling the truth, or at least getting caught in a lie so that Cindy could work the magic she claimed she could work to “get the truth out of Casey”.

At 2:30 into the visitation Cindy Anthony says she has a couple of questions she needs to ask Casey.  The first is concerning a photograph taken of Caylee sitting in someone’s apartment with a Rock Band drum set in the background.

Cindy describes the picture and asks Casey “Is that Zanny’s apartment?”  Now had Cindy stopped there and let Casey respond, she either would have gotten the truth from Casey (doubted since Casey initially said yes), OR she could have outright called her on the lie and forced to explain two important things:  Whose apartment is it?  And, why did you lie and say it was Zanny’s?  But Cindy didn’t stop there, it actually went like this:

Is it Zanny’s apartment?

Because I know whose apartment is it…Is it Zanny’s apartment?

At that point Cindy had alerted Casey that what she was about to say, Cindy already knew to be lie, so did she want to change her story so that she could act like she was never going to lie….basically is what this reduces to.  A fundamental enabling, covering and rescuing act by Cindy.  Immediately we watch Casey’s demeanor change from feeling she’s in a tight spot to….okay, no, all I have to do is agree with her now and she’ll move on, which is exactly what Cindy did during the visitation.

Now, how did Cindy know that the photograph was not Zanny’s apartment, that it was actually someone else’s, and who that someone else was? 

Cindy tells casey everyone in the nation is looking for caylee. Casey said she wants people other than the sheriffs office to be looking for caylee. Casey giving her parents a lot of info to send them on a goose chase. 

Cindy on video: what message do u want me to give zanny? Casey: she needs to return caylee.Casey in courtroom is wiping away tears. Casey grabs pack of tissues. Casey tells Cindy Zenaida had a key to their house

George: what can I do? Casey: focus in caylee.

Cindy: "Everyone knows that you've done nothing to Caylee" .

George: what can I do? Casey: focus in caylee. She said I wished this never happened.

Casey: In some ways I feel more protected here (in jail) thanCasey continues to tell parents about Jeff, whom she was not really ever engaged to I do on the outside.

Cindy and Casey talk about clues to help find caylee, so they can do their own investigation. 

Casey just smiled. Saying something to Jose. 

Casey just smiled as she watched herself say she and caylee were like the same person.

Casey tells Cindy in jailhouse video drugs not involved.

Casey tells George he is the best father and grandfather.

Casey tells George Casey is the best grandfather Caylee could have ever HAD. She is crying

Casey tells George > Caylee WAS so lucky to have HAD them.

Casey tells her mom it's the truth that she will do whatever she has to to get caylee back

.Casey tells mom she can't open up to jail mental health expert.

Casey said written contact will be better since they can't talk openly
.Casey crying in courtroom as she watches video of Cindy saying don't try to protect them

George: I miss you. Casey: you've been a great dad and the best grandfather.


Casey said no one did a composite sketch of Zenaida.Casey telling Cindy more about Zenaidas so-called life. Cindy tells Casey to keep her head up high. They are looking for caylee. George: we are trying to find that little girl. Casey: once we get caylee everything else will get figured out.Video over. State says next video is about 45 minutes. Perry asks jury if they want to watch now or in the morning. Gives them break.
