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

[califmom]

Ashton is an excellent attorney.  He comes to court prepared and so do his witnesses, unlike Bozo and his witnesses.

KC is a cold heartless baby killer selfish beotch...The jury know this, IMO.

[Cappuccino]

Baez was the one who brought the note up, correct? And the suicide attempt? So how can he sit there and say he objects to the note, period?!

Because he is stupid. He has no comprehension of the rules of law or the rules of court procedure. This is not the case to learn on the job but he has put himself in that position knowing full well he is not qualified.

But he has an entire team there of alleged "seasoned" attorneys with him, there is no excuse for their idiotic defense nor their demeanor.   It is inexcusable for them all to do this & Bozo hasnt been the only failure in the bunch

I have to wonder how much of this is Baez, and how much is Casey insisting the direction it should go.  Deep down, I don't want to believe Baez is THIS inept.  (Even though I'm pretty sure he is.)

[Cappuccino]

Casey is pitching a fit & trying to keep it down but its obvious 

[ISpy]

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.

ITA.  Undergirding George with prayer this morning... Lee and the jury also this morning.
IBE-Praying for you also.

10:25am Wed, June 29, 2011 Court is in session. Jury is present.

George is back on the witness stand.

Baez is up......

You were questioned by the prosecutor about molesting your daughter?  When?  The first day of trial?  I would never do anything like that to my daughter.  You would never admit to molesting your daughter?  I would never do anything to harm my daughter in that way?  Only in that way?  Do you remember when we referenced you the first time bout the gas cans?  I have been asked about those gas cans many times.  Baez shows him the red, round gas can, that is your gas can?  Yes.  On June 24, 2008 that gas can was missing and you called the LE and reported that gas can was stolen?  Yes this and another can.  Is that the only time you had called the LE about your gas cans missing?  Yes.  You had knowledge that your daughter had used your gas cans before?  Yes.  You recall that there was a gas can shown in your depot that did not have duct tape on it when you gave it to the police?  I don't think I said that.  The very first time the LE took those gas cans Aug 1, 2008, did that can have duct tape on it when you gave it to them?  I don't know, I didn't touch it, I opened the shed and they took it.  On Aug 5, 2009 did you state, "OK, when they took it did it have duct tape over the vent, did you answer, No, it had no duct tape over that vent."  Were you confronted with a photo of that gas can with duct tape over the vent?  Shows him the photo?  Did you take the duct tape and put it on and take it off?  No, I did not do that.  When LE took this from your home that piece of duct tape was not on the can?  Your answer was it was not on the can, it was not on the can.  When you gave this depot did that gas can have duct tape on it?  According to this photo it did.  It was taken more than once.  Are you trying to say now that you were shown a diff photo of that gas can?  I believe I was.  Baez is showing him his depot, in the back of that are the exhibits, do you see that? George says he sees alot of them.  Do you see the tabs?  Every photo is on those tabs, can you search through and see if there are any other gas cans?  It only shows this red, round gas can.  So according to your depot either the LE planted the duct tape your you were lying in your depot.  Sustained.  When you had this alleged argument with your daughter over this gas can, did the can have duct tape on it?  The day that my daughter said here are your fing gas cans, this can did not have anything covering the vent, did I later put duct tape on it, I may have, I am just trying to tell the truth. Sidebar...sidebar over.  When Casey gave you the gas cans on June 24, 2008, the can did not have duct tape on it?  True.  When the LE took it from you it did not have duct tape on it?  I don't know if it had duct tape when the LE got the gas can out of the shed.  I will say it did not.  Did you testify that it did not in your depot?  Baez is reading George's depot to him.  When they took it on Aug 1st, it did not have duct tape on it and when they returned it to me, it did have duct tape on it, do you remember that now?  I do now. 

Jeff is up.........

On Aug 5, 2009 you still believed that your grand daughter was killed by someone and it did not happen in the custody of your daughter?  Yes.  In that depo you and I sparred in much the same way you sparred with Mr Baez today?  Yes.  You were upset that your daughter was being accused of murder?  Yes.  When you were giving this statement, did you ever tell the LE that you thought your daughter murdered your grand daughter?  I didn't believe that at that time, no.  You learned in Dec 2008 the remains of Caylee were found?  Correct.  What effect did that have on you?  A deep hurt inside, tears, a whole gamut, a breakdown inside of me and seeing what my wife and son were going through.  Up until that day did you hope Caylee was still alive?  Yes, up until the day we were told it was Caylee.  George is openly sobbing.  Casey is stone faced.  On Jan 22, 2009 you went and got a gun didn't you?  Sidebar....George got down from the witness stand and is being comforted by his attorney.  Sidebar over. Jury has been taken out of the court.

 Jeff just said that George bought the gun to force people to admit what happened to Caylee and then take his own life.  It shows that this man did not know who killed Caylee and the suicide note should come in.  All of this is mentioned in the suicide note. Jeff is handing out case law concerning this.  The judge and defense are reading the material now. 

The judge is saying that he has reviewed the suicide note and the case law.  He is asking Baez what his response is, Baez says hearsay.  Jeff says that a suicide note can be admissible.  It contains nothing about his guilt toward his daughter or his grand daughter.  It shows nothing the defense has accused him of in this case.  There are specific statements in his suicide note that George knew nothing about what happened to Caylee or who had killed her, he cites law. 

Baez says.....

Mr Ashton is presenting a self serving rule to exception.  What is the purpose of this?  To say he is innocent because he took heart medication and a six pack of beer? 

Judge asks....

Baez you asked Mr Anthony if he attempted to commit suicide?  Yes.  What was your purpose in that question?  It is a fact in this case, how genuine an attempt it was, who knows, was it an outcry or an attempt for emotion? Just because he took blood pressure pills and drank beer does not mean that he was trying to take his own life.

Judge adds.........

Was he trying to commit suicide because he was so guilty about molesting his daughter and what he had done?  Looks as though the defense has made Mr Anthony's state of mind an issue.

Judge says Mr Baez opened the door and Mr Ashton is trying to walk through it.  Mr Baez earlier questioning of Mr Anthony is rebutted in this suicide note that he inferred to the jury.  It should be submitted in it's entirety.  Judge asks when Jeff wants to enter this note, now or in rebuttal?  He says his rebuttal.

The judge thinks the defense has opened the door but he really wants to contemplate and read a few more cases in this area.  It is fair game on cross of Mr Anthony, concerning the suicide that was brought up on direct by the defense.

Judge gives a 5 minute break.  11:25am.

[stayhomemommy]

Jeff was perfectly happy for the defense to open that door! Hee hee! How does it feel to be exposed as the worst lawyer in the history of the world, Mr. Bayezzzz?  

What I thought was funny was when bozo said " well, you didn't object" to Ashton. Well, duhhhhhhhhhh  of course he didn't object because he wanted this in and had no way to bring it in. He even had case law copied in case bozo was so stupid.  

Loved it!

[flamom]

that was a beautiful thing to watch.....JB screwed himself and the judge let him!    ::justice2NJ::

Jeff and Bobo are in opposite universes in every way.. Both are great to watch for different reasons... 

[TURBOTHINK]

Do any of you really believe at this point that Judge Perry is totally objective?
I do not know how he cannot in his heart know that Casey killed her child and destroyed her family also.

I am sure he knows - he was the prosecutor on the Black Widow case but he has gone overboard allowing bozo leeway in this hearing. If anything I think he has been biased toward the defense and while I understand his reasoning, I think he should have come down hard on bozo a long time ago. Once bozo gets an inch, he takes a mile.

That was funny.  The dummy thought he'd done it right.  lol  Bet Mumbles was holding his head in his hands thinking, why, why, why.  hahaha

[KarmaRoundUp]

Good for George....still have no sympathy for him........notice Cindy still writing as fast as she can for their book/movie deal?George will surely be enjoying the results of all of that blood money....that's for sure.

[Yoder1]

If the prosecution can win this and get Casey put away, out of sight and out of ear shot, we can just forget about her. Then we can think of all the pleasant things about Caylee, her smile, singing, and laughing.

Out of sight and out of mind. After this is over I don't ever want to think about Casey again.        May not be realistic, but that's what I want.

[cheeky monkey]

I have to wonder how much of this is Baez, and how much is Casey insisting the direction it should go.  Deep down, I don't want to believe Baez is THIS inept.  (Even though I'm pretty sure he is.)

the note getting in is all baez. he should have known what landmines to avoid in questioning george to prevent that note from coming in.  I thought i heard bill scheaffer on wftv say it was baez who asked that it be sealed, if that was the case, even baez realized how bad it looked for their defense theory.

the judge is making suggestions to baez about george testimony.  baez is completley lost now.

[Cappuccino]

Wow  George admitting to wanting to threaten those that he felt were responsible for Caylee according to CASEY

[anothermonkey]

#GeorgeAnthony admits he bought a gun to force people to give him info re Caylee. Cops wouldn't let him keep it cause Casey was there.
