Caylee Marie Anthony-MURDER TRIAL-DAY 4 - 5/27/2011

[goodnmad]

If Bozo can make him the bad guy The state should be able to ask him these questions!

EXACTLY they opened the door. Overruled Bozo.

SCORE for JA! There wouldn't be any evidence in the trunk to distance himself from if GA had dumped the body in the swamp himself!

Poor Tony...he probably wished he never saw Casey on facebook.

George had to leave the court room & motioned to his attorney to come out with him

[Magic Eyes]

George is going back on the stand.  Baez is going to cross-examine him. 

Baez has George write on the stupid, huge calendar, the day he found the tow notice.  He is questioning George about how long takes to be delivered from a mile and a half away.  George says he has no idea.  Baez is asking him dumb questions, they are sustained.  Cindy found the notice on the front door.  George doesn't know exactly where Cindy found it but he thinks, in the crease of the door.  No, they haven't used that door and they couldn't see it from the street.  No other notices on the door with it.  The notice was not RED as Baez suggests, George says it was pale, yellowish color.  George doesn't control when mail is delivered but he usually picks it up.  George doesn't have a problem with the mail service lol he just doesn't control it.  It usually works out pretty good lol  That entire week, he only got that one notice from the tow yard?  Yes, Baez is asking stupid questions, all sustained.  No second notice from tow yard, no 3rd notice, no final notice.  More dumb questions, all sustained.  George never received another notice that entire week.  You can see front door from the front, basically but he didn't see the notice.  George called Amscot the day he got the notice, after he went to work.  He called Cindy to come get him to take him to the tow yard and he knew to take the gas can with him from past experiences.  Baez wants to know if he had lucky thinking the car was out of gas?  Sustained.  Was it a fortunate guess? lol Sustained.  Baez seems very lost.  George doesn't remember which gas can he took to the tow yard, so he can't know if it had duct tape.  Baez is fishing and fishing. SUSTAINED OVER AND OVER.  George hadn't spoken himself to Casey since June 24th.  Was George concerned when he went to the tow yard about the two most precious things in his life.  He told people at the tow yard, that he hadn't seen his grand daughter or his daughter.  Actually only one, Simon Birch.  He knew his son had already gone looking for Casey by the time he went to the tow yard.  He was concerned when he went to the tow yard.  Baez is spinning and spinning.  When George got in the car, he smelled decomp, he did not ask Mr Birch to go with him to the trunk.  Baez is going to a transcript with LE.  The judge is making him read the whole paragraph of the statement, not just a bit.  Baez starts reading something completely different and Jeff asks for a sidebar.  Baez is sooo messy. 

Baez is reading from the transcript.  It is George asking Mr Birch to walk to the trunk with him.  George says yes that must be true.  Baez asks George if he wants to distance himself from the evidence.  George says, no and wants to explain that he just didn't know that something was really, really wrong.  Baez asks him if he is a stand up guy and George says, yes.  Baez fumbles, Jeff objects, sustained and stricken.  All George saw in the trunk was a bag of garbage.  Judge is scolding Baez.  George never smelled a worsening smell of decomp, just decomp.  Baez is making it seem that George never touched the bag, because he didn't want to leave fingerprints.  He should of known it was a potential crime scene, either as a detective or a human being.  He should of called 911, why didn't he?  George says looking back, he would of done a lot of things differently.  George didn't think the car was evidence at the time, he was hoping that the smell was from the garbage, even though he thought it might be decomp.  Baez asking stupid questions, sustained.  George told no one when he got to work about the car or the smell.  George says he went to the police without Cindy knowing about it.  It wasn't a secret, he was just doing anything to find his grand daughter.  George admits that in his transcript to LE that he had knowledge of what a dead body smelled like and it was 6 months before Caylee's body was found.  That doesn't even make sense as I type it but that is what was said, lol.  They are at the judge's bench now, have been for some time.  Baez is very animated, Jeff is very composed, Mason is just probably mumbling......

He asked George if he knew Caylee was dead when he drove that car home.  He knew as a former detective to distance himself from that car.  Sustained

Jeff is back up.  George doesn't know when the notice was place on his front door.  He didn't see it till Sunday.  If Caylee drowned, and George took that lil girl's body down to the swamp then there would be no evidence in the car?  George says NO!!!!!!

George leaves the witness stand.

IF IT MAKES NO SENSE, THERE IS NO DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::justice2NJ::

oh oh craps hiting the fan,, watch her fake tears..

[Curly]

If George lied in his GJ testimony, what would happen if he came clean here?   It almost seems as if he is sticking to previous statements.

I don't think George lied in GJ testimony..it's what got her indicted.

[flamom]

Very clever Mr Ashton!!!!!
If you took her body from the pool and dumped it in the field, there would be no evidence to run away from would there Mr Anthony?
Tony Lazzaro up again

[west941]

Come on state let Ashton question TL

IMO bozo trying to establish his opening statement that George was in massive cover up mode. "There is just something not right with this family". Goes right along with him not seeing that Casey was pregnant at 7 months and now George smells decomposition in the trunk and what does he do? puts gas in it and drives it home, puts it in the garage to air out and goes back to work.  Something is just not right here.

George had it so right when he said in hindsight he would have done things differently. I just bet he would have knowing then what he does now that his skanky daughter and her lawyers were going to do to him and his family.

It has to be difficult to be in mass cover up mode to try and help your daughter for the past 3 years and have all your words and miss truths slap you back in the face.

And that's the thing - hindsite is 20/20.  What you know to be evidence later, you won't necessarily think of as evidence at the time.  George was probably so relieved (and feeling like he overreacted) at not seeing Caylee in the trunk that he probably didn't want to continue to think in that line of thinking.

Wow! Ashton came back with both barrels blazing!

Yes!!!    you go Jeff!!!!!!!
 

[starwynn]

p.s.  Casey did her job right - she put that pizza in there and let it rot to make The Smell look like it was just garbage.  It worked after they saw the pizza and wrote it off as garbage.  For a while.

[Wyks]

I hate HLN and all their commercial breaks..why can't they wait for a sidebar or recess and do all their commercials then ...
