(CNN) -- Casey Anthony's frustration level with her parents, particularly her mother, was rising around the time her 2-year-old daughter disappeared, for reasons including that her mother was increasingly unable to watch the child so Casey could hang out with her friends, one of those friends testified Tuesday.

Amy Huizenga told jurors in Anthony's capital murder trial that the two previously were close friends and that Anthony complained frequently about her parents, particularly her mother. Anthony's relationship with her mother was "strained. It was hard. Her mom was continually agitated with her," Huizenga said. "I remember she told me her mom had told her she was an unfit mother. She was extremely upset about that."

I wonder if these jurors cant speak to eachother! do they talk to theirselves in their rooms? I would. It's alot to contain ya think geez.

I think the judge is getting tired of bozo not being organized and not bringing files! if that is the truth.

[yuknomenot]

I've seen a couple mentions of a stunt Bozo pulled.  If someone can please tell me about what point in the day it occurred, I will go back and read.  TIA!

Beth Karas of Insession/HLN is stating that she thinks the defense putting the form fitting shirt on Casey to pull that stunt was good....I strongly disagree, it was ridiculous & in the end is totally irrelevant to the charge of felony murder Casey is on trial for.   I dont give a flip what allegations Casey & her defense team has lodged, Cindy's perceptions or recognition of her daughter's late teen unwed pregnancy have nothing to do with the actions Casey took before or after Caylee's murder.  Its Bozo eluding to the fact that the family had something to hide...Ill tell you this if Casey gets on that stand and flat out states that her father raped her this jury will give her the needle as opposed to save her from it...there is NOTHING that backs this up & its very cruel to do to victims in this case -- whether you care for the Anthonys or not & Ive been very harsh regarding most of their pretrial behavior as well, it is just despicable to make these allegations even if it is to save your own skin.

she referred to george as .. george the molester just now.

Did she flat out say that?  If so, her and that Sunny of Insessions/HLN better watch their words, if its not already too late.

I don't think their attorney will tolerate this. There may not be anything he can do about opening statements but he can make an example of her and that is exactly what I would do if I were him.

I am sure that cindy and george will get wind of what beth said! they listen to the news and the updates etc.

Did Beth say that like a slip (what she thinks and it just came out) or like the defense is trying to portray him as George the molester?

I'm just catching up, and I'd love to know what this is!  I'm TIA too!  (I'm going to try to watch WFTV, I had to leave before the Cindy meltdown...)

Does anymonkey know who the bleached blondie with bangs in the first row was today?  She's youngish looking and cute.  Bet KC hates her, but I don't think I've seen her before?

No, he will not & honestly I never thought Id side with the Anthonys over anything but I do on this most definitely.

I do too - it is like they are being the ones prosecuted if bozo has his way. I had come to despise both of them because of their crazy actions but the more I watch this unfold, the more I am not so sure their craziness was not a direct result of the insanity they lived in with KC.

Amazing how one person can destroy an entire family, but I have watched a sociopath (our foster child) try to destroy everything in her path that did not get her what she wanted. I could not before relate that to the Anthonys because it seemed so obvious to me the lies, but I remember when our foster child would lie to teachers and others who were actually "afraid" to confront her knowing she was lying. I always confronted the lie, but most people prefer to try to keep the peace and hope she is not lying. I see the same thing now in Cindy.

Did the defendant agree to take Cindy to see Caylee?  Yes with a great deal of difficulty.  What was the demeanor like once they were in the car?  Only talked when Cindy asked her where was Caylee.  Casey said with the nanny.  What was Casey's attitude like?  Like a 16yr old with her arms crossed.  Sustained.

The judge is excusing the jury for the day.  They are going to be allowed edited copies of the St. Pete Times.  They will get back copies and then future copies.  Jury is excused for the day.

Amy is told to be back by 8:45, to be called promptly at 9am.  Hearing at 8:30 am.  JBP wants the state to have statements ready for arguments, with regards to Huggins case law.  Giving them more case law to read, they need to find gems in one judges dissent.  A balancing test must be done.  To allow six prior felony convictions in, they must be very careful in how they try to get them in.  The judge wants to prevent reversible error.  Once that bell is rung, they cannot re-ring it.  Get directly to the facts, no editorial comments, or opening or closing arguments allowed.  They each have 10 min.  He is giving them more case law to go over.

Court is adjourned till 8:30am

Bumping for those people just coming on SM that missed this afternoons action.

Magic, I really appreciate you doing this as I had to go out and missed all of it. Thank you.

I'm just catching up, and I'd love to know what this is!  I'm TIA too!  (I'm going to try to watch WFTV, I had to leave before the Cindy meltdown...)

Most of his stunts were during Cindy testimony today.  My particular favorite was when the judge mentioned he was the presiding over a case he was referencing for not allowing the felonies.  That would be during the break video. 

[Gypsy DD]

Amy reminds me of Gweneth Paltrow..her looks..bery European, very slim, straight hair..very dramatic in her speech.

BBM..... I think it was ridiculous too, but how many court proceedings in these past years have monkeys made the statement that KC looked fat/preggers. I think they were trying to fool the jury, but the didn't fool this monkey. Cindy is right, KC's weight fluctuates and I bet Baez told her to lay off the pork rinds and bean dip just for this occassion. JMO JSM

Casey is furious after 911 calls played for jury.. Baez and Sims trying to block camera view of her

Okay, just got it...Baez put Casey in slutty form fitting shirt so the jury could see that even though she was sedentary, (Thanks, Jose, for explaining what that means because we are obviously really, really, really, unfamiliar with big words!) she was still slim in the middle.  And though she was "sedentary" at the time of Rick's wedding, Cindy was an enormous idiot to not figure out she was pregnant.  (She may have been ridiculously in denial, but I think the jury will be annoyed that Baez is picking on her.)  Do I have this right?  (Oh, and why would playing sports give you a big belly?  I'm not getting that one.)
