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.
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.

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.

May 25, 2011 Questioning, Tony Lazzaro's Roommates.Sutton Park Apartments.
Well, Judge Perry starts the day "laying down the law" Apparently, the State is not releasing the daily witness list and therefore the Defense is not prepared with the files. When the witness list is called the
Defense has to go find the files. Judge Perry states the State cannot force the Prosecution to give them the list bt if thee want to play games, he will play games. He tells them he is not going to keep the jury waiting while someone searches for files. He states he will cut the lunch time to 35 minutes and they will work on Sundays. He is angry and calls a recess.CaseyAnthony is still sitting at the defense table as court is in break, occasionally talking to her defense team.
Cameron Campano is called to testify. He is 23 years old. He lives in Cleveland , Ohio. He attended college in Orlando. He lived with Anthony Lazzaro. he had two roommatate, Clint House and Nathan Lithavitch. He first met Casey at a friends birthday party. There was nothing "out of the ordinary." about her deameanor. She started staying at the apartment in the middle of June. He met Caylee four times. He would see her at the apartment. he knew Caseys job was an event Lazarro she was going to coordinator at Universal. Casey at times would say she was "stressed out" about work." He testifies and then it is sustained that she told Anthonyt never Lazzarro she was going to get red carpet tickets to the Batman premiere "but that never happen." Casey was staying there, from what he understood, while she looked for an apartment with Am Huzienga. He never saw her get ready for work.He may have saw Caylee one time after she moved in but in not sure. Caylee was reported to be at the "beach" with the nanny for a birthday. Casey would mention she talked to Caylee on the phone. He never witness he talking to a nanny or Caylee. She would talk on the phone and would walk outside to continue the conversation. One time she said she was speaking to her mother. He asked why she goes outside to talk and Casey said it was her time to vent.He did not see her drink but one time she came home drink, He never met Casey's parents. There were never any of Caylees clothes at the house. There was a Pink Panther book and video left at the house. She never metioned Caylee was missing. Casey never asked for help searching and never mentioned she was searching. He came home after Cindy was at the apartment. He et Lee Anthony. He told Lee he was sorry and offered him help when they met. He gave Lee a bag of clothes that belonged to Casey. Lee was calm but worried. He never had contact with Lee Anthony after that day.
Jose Baez crosses. The only question Jose Baez's asks if Mr Campano was there the day Caylee died in the pool He states "No." There is objection from the prosecution and is is overruled.

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.

All of the Casey Anthony jurors have notepads on their laps and pens in their hands. Not many seem to be taking notes yet. Cindy Anthony has a pen clasped in her right hand, though it is difficult to tell if she is taking notes at the moment. Casey Anthony is flanked at the defense table by attorneys Jose Baez, Cheney Mason, Dorothy Clay Sims, and Lizabeth Fryer. The jurors are giving the prosecutor their undivided attention. Absolutely no notes are being taken at this point\.The prosecution continues on with their opening statements. #CaseyAnthony seems more composed than before, but remains looking very serious. She almost appears "zoned out." None of the Casey Anthony jurors are taking notes. A few jurors have even set their notebooks aside and no longer have them on their laps. The prosecution has been going strong on opening statements for almost 90 minutes.. Judge Perry calls for a recess.Case yAnthony is at the defense table for this recess, staying in the courtroom.

Casey appears to stare blankly ahead or with her eyes downcast. Cindy Anthony does not have the teddy bear with her in court anymore. The bailiff was concerned that the jury would see it.
