Caylee Marie Anthony MURDER TRIAL- DAY 31 - 6/29/11

[Cappuccino]

Dear God this is one of the worst things I have witnessed in my life.  I am sobbing.  I feel that I am watching the forces of good and evil wrestle for the soul of this man.

My thoughts exactly.

Truer words, truer words

Does Baez have a copy of George's suicide note?

Monka!  good question...wish I knew the answer and that makes me wonder about GA's medical records too??

Ashton stated he had no objections whatsoever to the suicide note being brought into evidence, I wonder if he'll bring it in on cross..... I don't believe that's ever been released (or if so, I missed it)....

I wonder why Ashton wouldn't talk to George???

if he's doing the cross, I don't think he wants to speak with George beforehand.. maybe it would look bad

I definitely think it is not allowed, witness tampering or something.  Maybe he can talk to Lippman and Lippman can talk to Ashton?

Does Baez have a copy of George's suicide note?

Jeff indicated that it is there but not submitted into evidence.

Could it be the suicide note does not further the allegations in the defence's opening statement but ... Baez is playing mind games with the jury by implying the note is the smoking gun.

What was the question that George wanted to answer before the break?

About the abuse.

[KCJackie]

I am once again feeling sympathy for George, do I need to be talked down?  Am I the only one?  I do think he tried to tell the truth off and on but Cindy wouldn't let him continue.  I don't know what to think anymore...

Thanks for all you do ME.

O/T...I am so sorry for your loss, IBE    My heart and prayers are with you.

It is not & totally inappropriate to be entered into evidence

Exactly and I think the door is open now for Ashton to bring it in on cross.....

I agree with u. Even IF he cheated or not. His grandaughter died at the hands of his daughter. Cindy did prob persuade George to support Caseys lies. It must hav been tough for him to try to find the truth all at the same time! Now to be Blamed for it!!!!!! Wow!

[SunnyinTX]

When this is all over, I hope George beats the %$#& out of Bozo.

I would be more than glad HOLD him for GA...I am not very sympathetic to GA....too little too late...but I am glad he finally decided to grow some baxxs.....

Casey sits directly across from jury. They see all. “@MagpieFromHinky: is the jury seeing all of kc's head shaking and little meltdowns?”

I've been scammed by them when they testified for the pros. and think that although this change in attitude will help find justice for Caylee they are in fact rehabilitating themselves to protect future income. After the lying on the stand no body would buy anything to do for them. MOO

9:00am Wed, June 29, 2011 Court is in session, jury is present.

First defense witness is Cindy Anthony.

Baez is pleasing the court and Ms Drane, not Jeff.....

Did you your son Lee go into Casey's room at night?  No. Were you ever made aware of your son going into Casey's room at night? Sustained. Sidebar....sidebar over.  Do you recall testifying 6 months ago that Caylee was still alive, were you testifying truthfully at that time?  Yes, there was a part of me that still believe she was.  You held a memorial service for her and had her remains cremated, despite all of that?  On Aug 14, 2008 you went to visit your daughter at jail, did you see a video tape and explain to your daughter that George had blown up at the media?  Yes.  You expressed that to your daughter? Yes. You expressed that this was a new theory, the latest story is that Caylee drowned in the pool?  It wasn't a new theory it was the media's thought on that day.  A month earlier you told the LE that the ladder was attached to the pool?  Yes. Cindy says it wasn't the latest story with LE it was what was relayed in the media.  After you told Casey that George had blown up at the media, Casey had said she had heard?  Casey could of heard it already and known it.  You had made LE aware of the pool incident. Sustained. 

Linda is up....

You recall when you related what the media said about the pool drowning your daughter's comment was surprise, suprise....
When you came into the jail that day you were already upset because the media was asking you if Caylee drowned in the pool?  Yes.

Next Defense witness is George Anthony.

Baez is up.....

Baez is refreshing his memory with a statement.  Do you remember making that statement?  Sir, you are asking about my LE experience and that is taken out context by you.  Your statement is in smelling decomp in woods...objection....sidebar..sidebar over. Did you tell the LE that you had smelled decomp in the woods before?  Yes.  Did you tell them that you smelled human decomp in a house before?  Yes. Did you tell them that you smelled decomp in a car before?  Yes.  Did you ever go to the remains site?  I was given a stuffed animal and told it was found at the end of the street, I walked down to Suburban but not in the woods.  Did you go into another wooded area?  Yes to find a place for our Kid Finder's tent.  You were gonna put up a Kid Finder's Tent in the woods?  It was next to a busy road.  On July 16, 2008, the first night LE came to your home, you pulled Yuri Melich aside and told him of the car smelling?  Yes.  I asked about that and an Amber alert, I was hysterical and upset and was doing anything to find answers.  After Yuri got back with Casey, did you go to his car and tell him that something happened to Caylee and Casey is lying? Yes.  He demanded answers from Yuri.  He did say that something happened to Caylee and Casey was lying, 2 plus 2 equals 4 and Casey is lying.  I was running on pure emotions, I was upset and falling apart.  You made the statement that you smelled that car and you smelled human decomp?  I am 100 percent positive.  You told them that Casey lives on the edge?  Yes, my daughter does live on the edge.  On July 24, 2008, did you tell LE that your daughter takes things as far as she can take them?  Yes.  In fact throughout that whole interview you kept talking about nothing but negative things about your daughter?  Apparently I did, I was cooperating with LE to find my grand daughter.  The next day you went to see your daughter in jail and said nothing negative to her?  No, I was trying to keep her happy and up beat to get answers from her, the fact she was in jail and we needed answers about our grand daughter.  Did you say negative things to LE and up beat things to your daughter?  Yes. I tried to cooperate with LE but I also had a daughter in jail as a father concerned for his grand daughter.  Were you undercover for LE?  No.  She wanted to get bonded out and you wouldn't put your house up as collateral?  Objection..sidebar..sidebar over.  Sustained.  You said that you were 100 percent sure that you smelled human decomp in that car?  Yes, I am not going to lie about that. Did you take a depot Aug 5, 2009?  Yes.  Same oath you took today?  Question:  Did you believe the smell was human decomp?  Not human decomp, I knew it was decomp there, It took my breath away it really did, it took my breath away.  I remember opening the driver's door and it wouldn't start and I said maybe it is out of gas.  The attendant said, it really stinks here..George says let me stop you for a second.  Did it come into your mind that the decomp might come from your daughter or grand daughter.  I said ya the smell is bad, it's a lil bit tough.  I saw my grand daughters car seat and the car was messy.  As I went to the back of the car I prayed please don't let it be my daughter or my grand daughter, etc, etc.  The attendant got rid of the pizza bag and said this is your smell, it had maggots in it.  the attendant threw it out.  George says he could smell it 3 feet away, it smelled like human decomposition.  When you relive it over and over again you remember what happened.  It was not the garbage that was in it, it was human decomposition.  Neither my daughter or my daughter were in that trunk and I am grateful for that.  George says that he smelled human decomposition.  In my knowledge in LE, he knew it was human decomp.  You then called 911 then and there?  No.  Then you went to work, did you not?  Sir, after I knew it wasn't my daughter or my grand daughter, i was relieved, I was also concerned. I know exactly what I did, I have tried to be honest with everyone.  Mr Anthony when you made the statement in your depot you were on a media blitz? Did you go on multiple media outlets and advocate the innocence of your daughter?  I did not want to believe that my daughter could take the life of my grand daughter.  In Jan 2009, you attempted to commit suicide?  Yes, sir, I did.  You even left a suicide note and you expressed some guilt?  Sustained.  George may really be crying, hard to tell, Casey is stone faced, like he is just another person up there.  Were you hospitalized shortly after?  Yes.  Did you then make more media appearances?  I think so.  Were you advocating the innocence of your daughter?  I don't know.  Were you on 48 hours and were you paid 25k for that appearance.  Mr Baez what we have gotten out of the media appearances and any money we did it for Caylee and for other missing kids.  I did everything I could possibly do to tell them what Caylee meant to me and everyone in my family.  Was the focus on Caylee or Casey?  Unfortunately, the focus would turn on Casey.  Did you make an appearance on the Early Show?  I don't know.  All of these appearances stopped when the charges of abuse came up?  That was started by you sir. 

10:05am Court is taking a 15 minute recess.
 

Thank You Magic for your dedication, it's sincerely appreciated.
