Casey Anthony is going through a binder At the defense table.On Gerus' training log notes he has had 187 finds.On one day In 8 searches, where there were 8 targets, he got 8 finds.
Next 2 pictures are training aids- a femur and a jaw bone.Looking at picture of a brick search. Forgey points out slack in leash so handler can't lead dog. Gerus missed the mark on this training session. He had one false alert. He located 13 items out of 15.

CA car, the Pontiac Sunfire, was placed in a bay at the sheriff's headquarters. Forgey left the dog in the car when first responding. Asked for the car to be removed from the bay to get away form other biohazards.
Once the car was moved out of the bay, Forgey let it it sit for a bit. Forgey had Gerus sweep another car near Casey's car before taking him to the Pontiac. During first sweep, the doors were closed. K9 swept the car in a counterclockwise manner, Forgey said. Forgey swept a car on west side of CA"s car first as taught to do in training. Doors closed on CA car on first sweep.
Bones' (his dog) final alert was to sit. Forgey just said he brought a pseudo scent with him. Forgey no longer has Bones.

Ju ry is about to see photos of Gerus' training. The training - 2 courses or schools. One was advanced. In first picture you see Gerus about to alert near a pile of clothes. Forgey says his hair also stands up- he gave him a good hard head snap. Next photo was the "bone room" in a haunted house. Only 2 bones were real (human)-rest fake. Gerus is a German shepherd CA next pic is a open search. Jury seeing a final trained alert. He is laying down. And his head snaps to Forgey.

Forgey describes the backyard, including two sheds and a swimming pool. There was an indentation in the yard. Detectives were concerned. The dog did not alert on the indentation. The dog did alert near the playhouse in the corner of the yard, Forgey said. Forgey is looking at the jury as he gAnother K9 shows up. Forgey gives only general information in an effort to prevent a false alert.ive his testimony. State is now publishing a photo of the backyard. It shows Caylee's play house. Forgey marks the photos with a circle of where the dog alerted. It was near the front of the playhouse. CA does not appear to have any reaction to this testimony or the photos. Bones is the name of the second dog who arrived from Osceola County. Forgey was present during search by Bones. He did not run the search with that dog. Bones and his handler worked together. Baez up for cross examination. Jose just smiled at the jury after saying good afternoon. Baez asks if Forgey videoed the search. Forgey says no. "If we could have predicted where we are today, it would have been videotaped." Baez: You had a situation where you knew there was no body in that car. Forgey: It was just a vehicle in question.
Baez is asking repeatedly why the search of the car was not video taped. Forgey said it's not standard nor required to do so.Baez is asking who is present when Forgey is training his partner. Baez: The dog gets your praise as a reward. Forgey: Yes. Baez: The dog wants to make you happy. (paraphrasing). CA def fails to impeach K9 abilities with missing "alerts" because officer explForgey's dog was called out to the site on Suburban Drive to search for a few missing bones.ains why the dog was being kept from main site.

Forgey and his dog have worked over 3k calls. 200 cadaver calls. Very few are video taped, he says. Forgey: If the helicopter was there, it was taped (in real world call outs.)LDB: Wiill your dog alert to trash? Forgey: No. LDB asks why Forgey was concerned about trash in forensic bay, was he talking about someone's lunch or something else? Forgey: biohazards. Baez back up for re cross. Baez: You don't know if Caylee's dead body was in the back Forgey: Clear as day i smelled it (human decomposition.)yard or this is a false alert. Baez is asking if Forgey's testimony is based on speculation. Forgey: Clear as day i smelled it (human decomposition.). Forgey said he worked patrol before the K9 unit and smelled many decomposing bodies.The deputy is excused. JP calls for a 5 minute stretch break. Allows the jury to leave the room.
