Caylee could make her needs known verbally. She could tell you a story. Caylee lived at the Hopesping address her entire life. Casey always lived with George and Cindy all her life. If Casey and Caylee spent the night outside of home she would see them the next day.


Cindy  never went more than 24 hours without seeing Caylee.Cindy was on vacation in  June 2008. She usually takes he birthday week off. She had Caylee on Fathers day, 2008. Lee and Casey had plans so she wen to see her father in nursing home. Casey was working. She is shown a pic of Caylee taken at nursing home. It was June 15, 2008.Casey is wiping tears. Caylee was  3ft tall. She was above Cindy's waist level. 'She appx weights as 30lbs. She could still carry her if she had to.After the nursing home, they went to go have lunch with Cindy's mother. they returned home appx 430p. Casey was not home. Caylee wanted to go swimming but she told Caylee she had to eat first. They went swimmng later. They access the pool via ladder.The ladder  has a detachable exterior ladder. When Caylee was a toddler thy started moving the exterior ladder. The "lip" of the pool is mid sternum to Cindy. Cindy is testifying as to the height and weight of ladder. "A small child could not lift it" per Cindy. On June 15th, she put the ladder on the pool. Caylee waited patiently. Caylee was able to clmb the ladder, to enter the pool, while protected by 
Cindy. Caylee would see on platform at top of ladder and await Cindy behind her , to enter the pool and hold her while Caylee was in the pool. She protected her. They spent a long time in the pool. Caylee would wear a life jacket in the pool. Casey came home while they were in the pool. Casey did not get into the pool. Casey assisted Caylee out of the pool. She had a towel and they Casey was going to help Caylee shower. Cindy took the ladder off the pool "as usual."  "That evening was a very emotional and beautiful evening.. I remember yet as if it were yesterday." She had recorded the visit with her father, as he was in hospice and she did not know if it was the last time she would see her father. They watched the video and photographs in Lee's old room , on the computer , and they cried together. Eventually, George came home . She went to bed early as she was the early supervisor at work. She never saw Caylee again. She believed Caylee was in her home when she left. Cindy weeps. 
Cindy believed Caylee had a job. She was an event coordinator. Her hours varied, sometimes she worked in the evening and most times sh worked in the eveniing. She thought  it was true because Casey had a lanyard ID with the Universal name and she saw emails and texts from her boss. Sometimes she work other peoples name tag. She said CAsey told her it was something her and her coworker did. CASey had pics of her from work. They pics were from before Caylee was born. She believed Casey went back to work. She denies it was what SHE  thought it was true but she knew it was true because Casey went to human resources. There was time Cindy talked to  Casey's boss  in regard to Casey possible being let go because of exhausted the amt of allowable reprimands. Cassey showed her emails from boss n 2008. Casey printed and showed her emails of the schedule of Spring 2008. Casey then left to work.  Cindy and George babysat when they were not working. On June 16th, 2008. She believed Casey had a babysitter named Zanny. She was a friend of Casey's. She was one of the primary babysitters. She did not know Zanny,, Zanny lived by Jeff Hopkins in UF student housing. Lauren Gibbs was Casey's friend who babysat for Caylee. Cindy met Lauren Gibbs. Casey contributed to household with housework.  Casey always had extra clothes with her. Most of the time she was dressed to "go to work."  Cindy was never able to find Zanny or never met her. She had been looking for Zanny since July 15th, up until 6 weeks ago. 
On June 16th, 2008  Cindy went to work. Cindy talked to Casey via voicemail. She may have talked to CASey for a few seconds. Casey's plan for the day was discussed. She was going to stay the night at  Zanny's and go to work in early am. It made sense to Cindy due to Cindy's late schedule on Mondays. George had to work on Monday.  George was scheduled  to work 3p-11p on Monday. Cindy thought Casey would return to the hone on Tuesday. CAsey saiid she was in "negotiations" and the meetings were lengthy. Cindy was expecting them to return on Wednesday.Casey said the "negotiations" with Hard Rock local were  moving to Tampa. She thought it would be nice to take Caylee to Tampa. Juliette Lewis was taking her child, Annabelle,too. Zanny was willing to go to Tampa and care for the children. She expected to see them Saturday, June 21st, 2008. Cindy talked to her everyday. They  usually talked in am and pm. they Caylee usually talked on the phone. However, "there was always a reason why Caylee could not talk. There was always a reason why she had missed her." On Friday, Casey told her that the meetings were going to extend into Saturday and then Zanny;s friend was coming to Tampa and they were all going to spend Sunday in Tampa. Monday, Cindy waited all day for Casey to call. They had agreed Casey would call when she got back. Cindy was concerned about her well-being. After waiting until 3p, CASey called and told Cindy, ' there had been an accident. " Zanny had been in a serious accident and Cawy was all day at the hospital. Raquel was with then. (another friend of Casey) Cindy could not talk to Caylee because  someone had taken Caylee and Annabelle to walk around. The children were not allowed in the Emergency Dept.
Cindy remembers George calling her about the shed break-in, on June 24th, It was before noon that day.Cindy had spoken to Casey that day and casually told her about  the shed break in. Casey was still in Tampa with Zanny. Casey did not tell her she took the cans. She eventually found out , Casey had been at the house. Cindy questioned her about being at the house. Casey said she had returned to get Zannys insurance  information . Zanny's family member was to let them iin Zanny's apartment. Cindy asked her why she did not bring Caylee home.? Casey said she did not think about it. She told Cindy she returned the gas cans and she had taken them just in case, for her trip to Tampa. Casey told her she thought there was a problem with her gas gauge. Cndy thought she was in Tampa during the gas can event but she did not think it was significant. Cindy asked why she was caring for Zanny and not her family. Casey stated Zanny mother's was very ill and ZAnny;s brothers were caring for their mother.. Zanny's roommate Raquel had been hurt in the accident  and her family was coming to get her.  Cindy was missing Caylee and started cuddling with Caylee's teddy bear, "teddy." Recess. 
Cindy returns to stand. Jury returns.  There s an immediate sidebar.
A few days later, the teddy  bear was missing. She told Casey she had been sleeping with Teddy. She thinks it was later Caylee was missing.June 25-27, Cindy did not see them .She had expected to see them.Casey had stayed because Zanny had a concussion and was being  observed for internal bleeding. She was hoping she would surprise her at work on Friday and bring Caylee. Cindy told her that she had returned but she was called into work to be debriefed on events while she was away. She did not see the Friday evening because Jeffrey, who lived out of state, was in town. Casey had dated Jeffery in the past. Caylee and Jeffs son , Zachary, knew each other and she thought since Jeff was going to see Zanny, it would be nice for Caylee and Zach to play together. There were numerous times in 2006- 11/2007, that Cindy was to meet Zachary. Casey thought that she may want to settle down with Jeff in the future. There were multiple dates for Seaworld and meeting Jeff's family that never transpired.  These potential never occurred, one time because Jeff had an asthma attack, but Jeff never was present at planned events.  Jeff was staying near Hard Rock, on June 27th and they were all to have dinner. Her impression of Jeff was he was independently wealthy and he had a suite and Casey a d Caylee 
had been asked to stay the night. They would visit he parks with the children the next day. Cindy describes  Casey as an adult and she did not control her coming and going. Nor did she control  Caylee. Cindy took another vacation June 30th-July4th. She had vacation time she would lose. She went back to work the following Monday.  She expected Casey to come home and get new clothes. Cindy states her and George continued their life and went out. She was not at home waiting for Caylee and Casey. She always communicated with Casey daily, via phone, text and or email. 
After July 4th, Cindy was expecting to watch Caylee on her vacation. She does not remember exactly why she did not. Cindy told Caylee she wanted to babysit especially with Zanny recovering. CAsey was working on an event with Make-a-Wish . She said it would be a fun event for Caylee to be there. Annabelle was going to be there with Juliette. Cindy asked to be invited. Casey said that it was by invitation. Cindy asked who would care for Caylee and Casey said it was an organized event and there was someone she trusted and she would be able to check in on CAylee.  Cindy decided on July 3rd, 2008 , to drive to Universal. Earlier that day, Cindy had some issues and she wanted to talk to Casey and wanted to see Caylee. The issues were money issues with CAsey, after going to the bank.She talked to Casey and found out she was at Universal and drove to talk to her. Casey did not know she was coming.Cindy arriveed at Guest Services.  Cindy called Casey from her cell phone and told her she was there.  Casey said she was in Jacksonville. Cindy was shocked. Casey said she took CAylee with Jeff to his condo in Jacksonville and they were going to rekindle their relationship.Casey did not want her to know she was taking Caylee out of town without Cindy seeing her. Cindy was shocked and upset.  Cindy did not know what to think she now knew Casey had lied about being in Orlando  and she had been in Jacksonville, She believed her and she didn't believe her.Cindy testifies she had her reservations and doubts. Cindy asked one of her friend in Jacksonville and Cassey's friend Ryan Passly that  lived  in Jacksonville. Ryan stated he talked to Casey that day and Casey said she was coming and they "needed to get together."  Cindy now believed Casey and left Universal. 
She later asked Lee if he had talked to Casey and said "No". Lee thought Casey was still in Orlando due to her MYSPACE posts. Lee and Casey shared some of their friends. Lee said he would try to find out if she was in Orlando from their mutual friends. Cindy said she was angry and upset. Cindy made the MYSPACE page  to reach out to Casey. She thought Casey would "friend" her and see her posts and see how Casey made her feel betrayed. 
The prosecution shows Cindy shows Cindy the MYSPACE Page

Cindy Anthony's MySpace Post July 3, 2008

.


Thursday, July 03, 2008


Current mood: http://x.myspace.com/images/blog/moods/iBrads/sad.gif distraught


She came into my life unexpectedly, just as she has left me. This precious little angel from above gave me strength and unconditional love. Now she is gone and I don’t know why. All I am guilty of is loving her and providing her a safe home. Jealousy has taken her away. Jealousy from the one person that should be thankful for all of the love and support given to her. A mother’s love is deep, however there are limits when one is betrayed by the one she loved and trusted the most. A daughter comes to her mother for support when she is pregnant, the mother says without hesitation it will be ok. And it was. But then the lies and betrayal began. First it seemed harmless, ah, love is blind. A mother will look for the good in her child and give them a chance to change. This mother gave chance after chance for her daughter to change, but instead more lies more betrayal. What does the mother get for giving her daughter all of these chances? A broken heart. The daughter who stole money, lots of money, leaves without warning and does not let her mother now speak to the baby that her mother raised, fed, clothed, sheltered, paid her medical bills, etc. Instead tells her friends that her mother is controlling her life and she needs her space. No money, no future. Where did she go? Who is now watching out for the little angels .




The defense objects to the posts being entered as evidence. Sidebar.
Objection sustained. Cindy talked to Casey about the MYSPACE page.It was a few days before Casey found about the MYSPACE page. Casey acknowledged reading the posting and thought Cindy was being hard  on her. Objection and sidebar. The courtroom is full of what appears to be "non media and family" today. Cindy is looking down. Casey and her do not look at each other. 
The court is recessed for today. Jury is adjourned until Tuesday.Casey watches Cindy walk out the courtroom. Casey looks around Jose Baez when he steps in her line view. She begins to cry  and talk while her attorney tries to comfort her.
The prosecution has given the judge a motion. They defense objects and Judge Perry states they will address it Tuesday morning. 

Tony Lazzaro SATURDAY may 28,20011




All of the attorneys are in the courtroom Casey Anthony is walking into the courtroom. Judge Perry is on the bench, but he does not have his robe on yet and appears to be working on some other things. George and Cindy Anthony are both in the courtroom this morning. During sidebar the Casey Anthony jurors look over the gallery."Wow, I was pretty taken aback,” says Lazzaro when Lee gave him a bag with Casey Anthony clothes and laptop
.Yesterday, AIM conversations between Lazzaro and #CaseyAnthony were not allowed into evidence.however,Casey texts Lazarro this message when she contaced hiim  aafter it was found out Caylee was missing.“I am the dumbest person and the worst mother,” reads one of the text messages Casey Anthony sent to Lazzaro she texts, "The important thng is to get Caylee bag. I will  never b able to forgive my self and my family won't either."Lazarro then talked to Casey by phone.The first question he asks her is "where is Caylee?" she says< "I don't know." He said, " How do you not know  where your daughter is?" Lazzaro said he felt frustrated, confused angry and betrayed , all at once. He became frustrated after going around and around with Casey and getting no answer and told  Casey  "he had to go" . He left to school. 
Baez gets Lazarro to admit that he felt Casey at that point felt Caylee was alive. Despite, everything she was concerned about her family. Lazarro in the texts messages he does not know what was true and what wasn't. The first page of texts he was shown he testifies was in the garbage. The dumpster is at the froont of the complex. In order to take the trash out he had to walk or drive to front oumbf complex to dump garbage. Baez asks Lazarro if  "the secret" they shared was that George molested her. Lazzaro sighs then says "NO." Baez has no more questions. As Tony exits he looks at Cindy who is heading toward the stand.

GEORGE ANTHONY, JULY 27TH, 2011

George testifies he learned in Julv  the vehicle had been towed. He learned about it by notice  left on the front  door of certified letter.  He heard about it on a Sunday. They did not typically use the door for entry to the house. They use the garage. They planned to go get the letter on Monday. He was working on Monday so then planned then to go on Tuesday.  He went on Tuesday.He got the letter said it was from Johnsons Wrecking .The letter stated the site of pickup on June 27th, 2011. He thought Casey was in Jacksonvville . He went to Johnson's Wrecking as it is  near to the post office. He was upset of the 500 dollar charge. The car had been their 2 weeks. Cindy was notified and she said she would go to bank and get money. George planned to go home and get title and return with Cindy so he could drive the car home. He assumed the car was "left" someplace. He was upset that he was not notified by company or Casey. He brought the gas can because it was a common practice with car breakdowns to bring a can of gas. It seemed like a common practice with a car breakdown and friends in the past. Cindy was forceful and they negotiated on price with company. She handled it because he was irritated. He was escorted to the vehicle. As he approached the car, GA testifies he smelled it from appx 3 feet away. GA thought, and he was very concerned  becasue he smelled about it years prior. He was concerned. "That particular smell, you never forget." GA testifies because he had not seen Casey or
Caylee may have been in the trunk because he had not seen them in a while. He was hoping he did not find them. The car reminded him of odor decomp. He had a spare set of keys. He quickly surveyed the car and saw no damage. As he reached for the drivers handle, he looked inside  the car and the odor was intense. He saw nothing that made him think someone had been injured. He reached over to the passenger side window and rolled the window down and it "turned over for quickly" and they Simon Birch and he, states, "out of gas" at the same time. He said in a low tone , Please let this be Casey or Caylee, George breaks down.
At the left rear light in the trunk , he saw a white bag. He saw maggots and litter. The bag was not pulled tight. Simon Birch stated "this must be the smell in the car." George was relieved Casey or Caylee were not in the trunk.  He cries.  The bag was almost transparent and he cold see the lettering on the pizza box and th Arm and Hammer container. Simon Birch took the bag and tossed it over the fence. He went and retrieved the car and put gas in it and drove it out of the yard. George testifies with the garbage bag gone he could still smell "the smell." It was difficult to drive. He had the windows done, It was raining. He could not have drove with the windows up. He does not remember telling Cindy. He told Cindy we have to get this car home. Although, on June 24th , he may not have been worried about Caylee  but now he was concerned.  GA does not remember telling Simon Birch that Caylee was missing but he probably did. Cindy followed him home. He opened the sunroof and all the windows to defuse the smell. He talked to Cindy about Casey and Caylee and his new job. Traditionally, he washed the cars on the weekend. He was responsible for all care on all the cars. He noticed a stain in the car. It was a slight stain, circular around the area of the spare. It was about the size of a basketball. It look like a circular stain but he can not testify if it was a liquid or power or substance stain. The car was messy inside. He is shown a pic of the inside of Casey's car. GA recognizes the car as the inside of the Pontiac Sunfire. The pic is entered into evidence. He identifies a second pic of the backseat of the car. The back seat has a car see and a pair of high heels.  The front sear has a brown small box on the passengers seat. He identifies both pics as the way he picked up  the car. he does not remember other items in the trunk. He was struggling whether to go to work. It was a new job. Cindy had planned to try to get hold of CAsey while he was at work. . Afternoon residence.
Cross by Baez. George is being questioned.GEORGE states he is a pretty good guy. Caylee shakes her head, "NO." George testifies even knowing the smell,he did not call Casey, Caylee or police."as a former detective, and you smell decomp, you call the police, don't you?" George states he was not a detective, he was a father and grandfather. Baez asks George if he knew being a detective in the the past when he moved the car that he could be destroying potential evidence. George and Baez are obviously not likely each other. " I did not believe it was evidence."He admits he did not call the police or tell co-workers. He aired out car. On that evening, after Cindy called police, the police came , Beaz meets with many objections from prosecution. On July 24th, he went to the police station to talk to the police. He admits he told them about the car and smell , George states it was part of their investigation. Baez shows him the disposition in regard to his visit with police so he may recollect events.  George did tell the police he had experience with smell.  Sidebar. "Mr Anthony, the reason you drove the car home and did not call police  was because you knew Caylee was dead. " You knew that the best way not to be interviewed by police was to be far away, didn't you?" George, "NO." Baez states he will interview George at a later day.
Prosecution asks about date he received "If Caylee drowned and you took her body to that swamp",.then there would be no evidence, would there"  Geroge, "NO", "Then there would be nothing for you to run from would there?" by prosecution. Mr Anthony is asked to step down.

Casey and Amy were decorating his house for a party. Casey and Amy arrived together. Casey's demeanor was polite and "regular." Casey did not tell him Caylee was kidnapped or missing. She did not she was searching or needed help. He found out she had a daughter that night. Casey was "taking care  of the inside of the house while he was outside." He did not have enough time to her as he was the host of the party.  He had Casey and Amy make sure no one broke or stole anything. He is shown a pic of Casey and Amy from the party. Baez attemps to object on the pic not being entered into evidence howere, it is a procedural error. William Waters has to identify it before it can be entered into evidence.  He is overruled. After it  is entered  into evidence, Baez objects as to "relevance." Sidebar. the pic is of Amy and Casey. Casey has a disposable plastic red cup in her mouth. She is smiling at the camera. He did not have the oppurtunity to speak with Casey at the party for an extended period of time. She did mention Cayle. He had fireworks. She was talking to he boyfriend about not moving back to New York. She did not want him too. Afterward, she appeared angry. She did not mention Caylee was missing. She did not mention she was searching or needed help. He saw Casey again. She saw him again on July 5th, 2008. She arrived 730a-800a.  She was driving Amy's car.

They had plans for lunch but they never went due to his schedule.  He was aware she had a boyfriend. He was not interested in Casey. He later got a call on July 15th from an FBI agent. He never was told by Casey her daughter was missing..
Mr Baez crosses. He had just met Casey. In Casey's world she loved her job as an event coordinator. there was no indication she was lying. In this world she was happy and nothing was wrong. The witness states "other than her relationship with Tony." In Casey's world pe Baez, he testifies they were going to miove  into a house with Amy and have a nanny. Casey went as far as to look for furniture. Mr Waters testifies Caseys behavior was that it was true. Casey was nice. She barely knew him and he trusted her with his house. The witness testifies he trusts everybody until there is reason not to. He has no information about Caylee drowning on June 16, 2008. He does not know why, how or when the event occurred,.
Re direct by prosecution There was no reason to believe what Casey was saying wasn't true. Witness done.

The jury enters the courtroom. Casey does not look at Casey nor does Casey look at Tony. (Anthony)Jose Baez continues his cross examination. He asks did he every see Caylee run to Casey..  Did he every see Cayslee laugh. Anthony answers "Yes." Anthony states as far as he remembers Casey read books, taught her how too swim,she liked Dora the Explorer and Cayloee could count to 40 in Spanishn "She was amazing.".cThe people who took the pics at the club, werefriends who were  in college for photography and were taking them for experience. His promotions were done on-line. Anthony admits he told Casey he loved her and she told him , she loved him. . They would talk on the phone until hey fell asleep. The pics on June 16th are difficult for him to understand, They are bizarre. He feels that if anything were wrong she  would have confided him or her parents. She did not and to his knowledge she did not tell her parents. To his knowledge every time Casey talked to parents she went outside. She kept that world separate.
  Anthony is questioned  the prosecution by Anthony admits that he could not see into the trunk.Csey took the cans,  filled the tank and took the gas cans to the trunk. Tony was at the head of the car.
Baez questions Anthony and testifies despite he being prompted to close his eyes and try to picture the car, his testimony did not waver as to what part of the trunk he could see and he did not smell anything.
   George Anthony is back on the stand. George admits to being home on June 24th .     . His schedule ds. was to do some things different. He had planned to interview for a job and meet Cindy to deposit a check. He was going to do some lawn work. He went to shed he saw the lock was broken. George is showing a pic of the layout of his house. There are objections by Baez. Apparently , he has not seen pic.  George points the shed. Casey does look at father. He identifies Caylees playhouse and pool. There are two sheds. It is a fiberglass retail shed. It was a Master lock. He states he decided to file report due to recent thefts in the area.
He alerted Mr Berner after report filed, as to the theft.  He went to go complete his tasks for the day except the yard work. He had not see Casey in the days prior but she returned about 2p that day. He would usually be at work at that time but he had taken the day off. Casey came into the house.  His car was in garage. She came through garage. He was happy to see her. She was surprised to see him.. He questioned her about her well being and Caylee. She said she only had 10  minutes and had to go to work. He said he question her about the gas cans and she denied knowing anything, In an effort tfio investigate he asked Casey about some tool to prevent the car from "rolling" that he knew it was in the trunk  She said she would get it. He said he told her he had a key and could get it . She rushed passed him to  retrieve the too. She opened the trunk and she said "here are your fucking gas cans!!." He said he asked her, "Why Casey.? He tabled the conversation until later as   he was annoyed and stunned by her statement. He did not have the opportunity to see or smell the trunk. He did  tell Casey he had made a report and Casey said Cindy had told her.  George is shown a pic of one of the gas cans with duct tape. It is metal and he said he had it for 25 years. He states the duct tape was on it because there was a cap missing when it was returned by Casey.  He is show a pic of the plastic gas cans and identifies it. He is show pic of Sunfire and he identifies it as "our" Sunfire. It was registered in His and Cindys name but Casey drove it.
No questions from Baez asks for recess. Baez questions him about the gas cans. He asks George about his previous incidents with gas cans and that he told Casey not to take gas cans but George would give her 10 dollars if needed. He admits to statements. Baez questions George about the gas cans and Caseys prior incidents of taking gas cans from shed. and in fact, he had told her to notify him and he would give her ten dollars  He asks him that on June 24th, he had not seen Caylee for 8-9 days and had not ever seen Caylee for 24 hours. Baez states you called for the gas cans but did not call about Caylee being missing. George states Caylee was not missing. Baez states , i did not ask you that. George answers he did not tell police Caylee was missing. Georg is not looking at Casey. George did not tell police Caylee was missing. Baez reviews  previous testimony with prosecution and he reaffirms. He reaffirms there was no duct tape on can prior to this incident. Baez is going over FBI statement with Scott Bolen.He was videotaped. He goes e over page 44, line 2. In his testimony he told Bolen he could see into the trunk. "so your testimony was not true?" George does not recall whether he saw clothes or not. He was at rear passenger door. Mr Anthony states he could only smell the the gas cans he was being handed. Could not smell decomp.  Baez  and George are becoming argumentative. George  states, neither can had duct tape.  George admits that the pics were taken by law enforcement. Baez refers Georges deposition Aug 5tih , 2009, Page 199, line 12-17." Do you recall making the statement "  There is an objection, "it does not qualify as inconsistant statemet?" Sidebar. George is asked about his lawncut schedule.  He admits he wanted to cut grass and needed mowing?  George chuckles and said "Yes."  Geroge is perturbed and sighs and chuckles at Beaz. George is asked to "stand down. George approaches the calendar Baez has on easel. He marks last day he saw Caylee, gas missing and report day. Baez puts up July calendar month. Baez  and asks for George to put the day Caylee was reported missing. Marks the day you had confrontation with Casey. George does not remember the day he law enforcement collected the cans.  He is able to recall the day he had confrontation with Casey. Georg asks to be shown written testimony because he does not recall. He returns to the stand. George does not look at Casey.  George is handed testimony and is asked to read  and does it recall his recollection.  "do you recall telling anyone about the gas can incident. "Yes, I made report on the 24th. "  George states "you are badgering me.The questioning by Baez is confusing." Do you recall making any statements to law enforcement  about the argument with Casey prior to July 31, 2008. "  "According to what I see here, on the July 31st, 2008." Baez asks George to stand down and mark calendar.  George marks calendar.  George is asked if he placed duct tape on gas cans between July and August. George states I told you after that incident he went to buy new gas cans. The questioning by Baez is very confusing. He needs to stop often and rephrase question for Mr Anthony. Baez  George tells Mr Baez to "treat him with respect and I will give you respect." Mr Baez asks him about the deposition with Mr Ashton.    and you stated that you never put duct tape on it.  George Anthony states during that deposition he was not show that pic that Baez is showing him. The gas can he was shown was one that had black smudging that had checked fo prints.Baez then points out line of deposition. Objection by prosecution "it is not an inconsistent  statement." Judge Perry reminds him the original pic is not in  evidence.  George restates that "this pic was not shown to me.It was another pic." Objection by prosecution and Judge Perry calls attorney to bench.  Baez tells George Anthony they will return to question of pic at a later time.  George is asked when he gave can to LE (law enforcement) did it have duct tape. George states., "yes." George  is asked to identify gas can. Judge Perry removes jury. "did you hear anything I told you at sidebar." Judge Perry restates, the pic is not in evidence. "You can not ask someone about a pic that is not in evidence. I dont know how many times I have to telli You. How are you going to ask someone about something that is not in evidence? Move on to so mething else." Judge Perry tells Mr Anthony to step down.  Judge Perry tells  Mr Lazarro to return.  Mr  Lazzaro is told by prosecution that Lazarro was ok'd to leave by prosecution. Judge Perry is mad that Lazarro is gone when he told him to stay. Recess for 5  minutes.twel
Mr Baez is repeatedly having to be "schooled" on basic court procedure by Judge Perry. This has been an ongoing practice since the earlier motion hearings. Of course, this is my opinion.
Judge Perry is on the stand addressing questions fro jury. Are the first twelve responsible for the verdict. Will the alternates be allowed to go home at that time? Judge Perry says he will let them know. They want to be  they Tampa Bay Lightening game on Friday and they want pretzels in break room. Can they continue to journal. the prosecution sites the should be able to journal except on case. The pads in court in which they take notes will be confiscated after each day and at the end of trial and not be returned.
Mr Lazarro is to return to stand but George takes the stand is questioned  by Baez about the gas cans. George admits that the can he gae LE on aug 1st had duct tape.  George is asked and denies knowing the dates he opened the shed for LE as there were multiple times during intial search. He is asked when he told LE about fight with Casey. JP(judge Perry) states he told you 3 times he does not recall. Judge Perry tells Baez to not "go there" when he attempts to ask about sequestration. Baez reattempts to question him and JP calls for sidebar.  Baez returns from sidebar and states no more questions.
Prosecution re-directs. George states the can was given back to him after LE took it, a few days later. He is asked," in December did the significance of the gas can become clear?" "Yes" by George.  Georges: testimony the gas can was kept in shed when returned and re-confiscated  later when it became part of case.
Geoge testifies that he was asked late about everything in regard to the can. George testifes that he believed Caylee was alive on June 24th when the issue with the gas can took place. George testifies Cseey said the baby was with the nanny. He is questioned because Baez attempted to ask him why he did not report Caylee missing on June 24th when he made report.
Baez re directs. George is tearful.  George testifies he kows the gas c g ae an issue. George testifies he ade report with LE , even though he knew Casey took gas in the past and did not CAsey about the missing gas. George testies that on June 24th he did ot know Caylee was missing. The questioning by Baez is objected on basis of being argumentative. I agree.
