CINDY AND GEORGE IN COURT TODAY

Read the new motion filed by Linda Drane Burdick asking for Casey Anthony to repay 'special costs'. Lee Anthony isn't here.Linda Drane Burdick says state filed motion asking for investigative costs- they want CA to pay- amount to be determined later

Prosecution Motion for Repayment

Mason withdraws reg. for mistrial

Fryer is talking about possible double jeopardy. Defense says all 4 counts (false info to LE) were one act and should be considered as 1 count. Fryer: There has to be some separation of time, circumstances in the lying to cops charge. Defense says the statements were all made in one statement on one day ( w/ Det. Yuri Melich. The defense is going over concerns of double jeopardy. The judge is going over eachDB says CA intentionally sent sheriff's officials on a wild goose chase of the 4 counts.
Burdick said these are separate lies.. State says these are not single acts. It's different conduct. Says here are several lies. LDB says her lies occurred on one day but in 3 separate statements.

Judge Perry is reading case law. CA chose not to say Anthony before sentencing is impose
JP Count 4 , which CA states she worked at Universal in 2008.As a result of a missing persons report caused Law Enforcement to follow up.
Count 5> CA informed authorities she left Caylee at SawGrass Apts with babysitter As a result of a missing persons report caused Law Enforcement to follow up.
Count 6 She had told Jeff Hopking and Juliette Lewis about Caylee being missing.As a result of a missing persons report caused Law Enforcement to follow up.
Count 7>She told police she received a call from CAylee that day in June 2008.As a result of a missing persons report caused Law Enforcement to follow up.

JP > Baez and him will figure out time served and then the jail will have to tell them on how much time for good behavior.
JP staes he will take 60 days to determine cost CA will have to charged to repay.Judge Perry reserves jurisdiction for 60 days for the motion on investigative costs.

Create Caylee's Law, Not Reporting Child's Death Should Be a Felony

Greetings,

On July 5, 2011, at 1:15 pm CST, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of first degree murder in the death of her daughter Caylee Anthony. The only charges she now faces are four counts of falsifying police reports, each of which only carries a 1 year prison term. Since she has been in jail since August 2008, she will be out of jail ENTIRELY too soon.

I'm writing to propose that a new law be put into effect making it a felony for a parent, legal guardian, or caretaker to not notify law enforcement of the death of their child, accidental or otherwise, within 1 hour of said death being discovered. This way there will be no more cases like Casey Anthony's in the courts, and no more innocent children will have to go without justice.

Also, make it a felony for a parent, legal guardian, or caretaker to not notify law enforcement of the disappearance of a child within 24 hours, so proper steps can be taken to find that child before it's too late.

The case of Caylee Anthony was tragic, and there is no reason for another case like this one to hit the courts. Let's do what is necessary to prevent another case like this from happening.

PRESS RELEASE

2011-07-06T21:14:00.001-05:00

From the Orange County Corrections Department:

"Our policy dictates that we would release a jury-acquitted inmate

from the courthouse under normal circumstances. However, due to the

high profile nature of this case and intense, emotional interest by

the public, appropriate measures will be taken to release the

acquitted into the community in such a manner so as to preserve the

safety of the acquitted individual and the public."

ORLANDO --

Mark Lippman, the attorney for the Anthony family, released
the following statment in light of the verdict Tuesday in the
Casey Anthony trial:

While the family may never know what has happened to Caylee Marie Anthony, they now have closure for this chapter of their life. They will now begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.
Despite the baseless defense chosen by Casey Anthony, the family believes that the Jury made a fair decision based on the evidence presented, the testimony presented, the scientific information presented and the rules that were given to them by the Honorable Judge Perry to guide them.
The family hopes that they will be given the time by the media to reflect on this verdict and decide the best way to move forward privately.
The family also wanted the public to know that if anyone wanted to honor Caylee by leaving stuffed animals or other toys at any area near their home, that they would prefer those items be donated in Caylee’s name to families in need, religious centers, or any other entity where the toys would be appreciated
.

0150p Cindy and George Anthony arrive at the courthouse. George is holding on to her She looks frail. She does not look like the tough mother we have seen throughout the trial. No one wins in this case. No one wins.
In my opinion, Jose Baez could have created Reasonable Doubt IF he would have explained WHY Casey spent 3 years in jail for an Accidental Drowning. Why didn't they plea down to Inproper Disposal of a Corpse.
1401> Jose Baez just arried. He walked past George and Cindy Anthony.George continues to look toward the door CA  normally walks through
1402> Casey just arried. She is biting her lip. She looks PETRIFIED. Cheney Mason is talking to her. Jose talks to her.Baez is on his knee speaking to CA.   She is talking deep breaths in and out. She is biting her nails and lips.
Judge Perry arrives and instructs everyone to monitor their behavior whle verdict is read.
Count 1 Not Guilty. She cries.
Count 2 Aggravated Child Abuse, Not Guilty
Count 3 Aggraated Manslaughter Not Guilty

Penalties for Each Charge.

2011-07-05T09:27:00.004-05:00

Count One, First Degree Murder: If Casey Anthony is convicted of first degree murder, regardless of whether it is on a theory of Pre-meditated Murder or Felony Murder she will receive at a minimum a life sentence. A life sentence in Florida is a true life sentence, which means there is no parole or early release. A defendant convicted of first degree murder only leaves prison after his or her death. The only alternative to a life sentence is death by execution.

Lesser Included of Count One, Second Degree Murder: (depraved mind murder, not premeditated) The maximum penalty for Second Degree Murder is a life sentence. The minimum sentence is based on the Criminal Punishment Code. The estimated minimum sentence for this charge and other charges which might result in conviction along with this count would be 24 years, 6 months.

Count Two, Aggravated Child Abuse: The maximum penalty for aggravated child is 15 years in prison. The estimated minimum sentence for this charge and other charges which might result in conviction along with this count would be 12 years, 1 month.

Count Three, Aggravated Manslaughter of a Child: If Casey Anthony is convicted of causing the death of Caylee by culpable negligence the maximum sentence is 30 years in prison. The estimated minimum sentence for this charge and other charges which might result in conviction along with this count would be 16 years and 6 months.

Counts Four Through Seven, Giving False Information to a Law Enforcement Officer in Reference to a Missing Person: The charge in these four counts carries a maximum of one year in county jail for each count. As a result if convicted of all four of these counts, Casey Anthony could receive a sentence of four years if the sentence for each count is run consecutively.

STATES REBUTTAL, Linda Drane Burdick

2011-07-04T10:14:00.005-05:00

TRANSCRIBED WTH DRAGONSPEAKING 10.0

José Baez has concerns.as for Caylee. Let them know that Caylee is in his court room and she is the only reason why they are not there. I think that is going to be very important to this case prosecution. Okay, alright focusing on just as for Caylee. As put you back in the courtroom. Judge Perry is talking to the lawyers. Chloroform. Mr. Bradley testify based on rebut report introduced by the state of Florida that was actually compiled by Sgt. Stanger. This was the second report was compiled a year later use in a new software program in which they were having problems with and.net analysis that was conducted on August of 2008 showed that identical website visited only once and that two columns below was eighty-four times from MySpace. Which did not show under Ford on the cashback report. It is our understanding that the cashback report contains false information. And we have placed the state on notice that the testimony that was elicited was false, and we would ask at this time that the state of Florida during the rebuttal argument clarified that. That false testimony.

Judge Perry I would buy is a jury of the falsehood. Response from the state?

Burdick>Mr. Baez covered that in the closing argument to the jury, your honor.

Folks, I do not know what you are saying whether it is true or whether it is false. The only thing I can say is, if there is evidence of false testimony. Then you need to find a per unappropriate file an appropriate motion at the appropriate time and I will take a look at it and see whether or not it is proven to be false. But at this stage. There is I cannot I cannot chase after something. Filed that appropriate motion and will cross that bridge when we come to. Anything else? Okay. Let us return to jury.

the state recognizes the presence of the jury. Defense? Yes or we do rebuttal? Linda Drane Burdick stand gets up to speak.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. When Judge Perry took that backbreaker took a twenty minute I will kind of felt like that guy that gets called out onto the field to take a last-minute field goal. Once his teammate has taken the ball down to the 1 yard line. And of course are ready to go in the other team calls a timeout. So there are some advantages and disadvantages as opposed to being the last person to have their say on this subject. The band of course is that obviously one that nobody gets to say anything after I sit down. Except for the judge on on the law.

The disadvantage of course, is that I have been sitting here listening to attorneys tell you what date been the evidence shows for 56. Maybe even seven hours to this point and recognize that you all are ready to begin the job that you have been here doing. For almost 2 months.

On May 9 we packed our bags and set as one of the Clearwater. You have made a greater sacrifice in packing your bags and spending weeks here and everyone else before me has indicated. I think you as well. But I ask that you do indulge me for a view moments to get our final thoughts on the issues that have been presented in the case. I promise that I will not be writing out evidence or polls jurors pollsters or part of technics. If anything that is not mine style.

When I came up here in Maine and stood in front of you for probably over a little a little over two hours and told what the evidence in this case, would show. I meant what I said. I did not make promises to you that the state did not keep. I meant what I said. And through the testimony of dozens of witnesses hundreds of exhibits the state of Florida in this case has proven every element of every charge in the indictment against Casey Marie Anthony. Mr. Baez defense counsel started his closing argument explaining what his biggestfear was in this case and that it was not that you would be making decisions based on emotion. I would never ask you to do that. Call Council has not asked you to do that. The judge will instruct you the jury that you cannot do that. And although this case is certainly emotionally charged. We want to ask you to make decisions about the facts of this case based on anything but the testimony that you have heard from the witnesses and all of the exhibits that you will be able to consider. Once you begin the job of deliberating.

You want to know what my biggest fear is? My biggest fear, and I do not under any circumstances mean this as an insult, my biggest fear is that common sense will be lost in all of the rhetoric of the case.

That you will not step back and take a look at the evidence as a whole. You got to look at them gate picture here. Cocounsel in his opening argument to you yesterday talked about rabbit holes and after I sat down he sat down.

Objection Your Honor sustained.

My fear is that you will not look at the big v. We spent two weeks in Clearwater questioning all of you looking for people who would still be able to see the forest for the trees.

Objection Your Honor and proper rebuttal. Overruled at this point.

In his closing remarks Mr. Baez use words like lyre perjurer fraudulent. A trial in a criminal case is supposed to be about truth the truth is that the court is the cornerstone of the criminal justice process for those work use and those who are the victims of crime.

Is lying that perverts the process. So during an argument way or most well-documented liar ever seen in the courtroom accuses everybody of perjury of fraud of fraud of lying. The irony is rich indeed.

Objection Your Honor violation of paragraph 5 of the court's order and move to strike. Rebuttal to the defense's argument. Overruled.

As we have come to find out accusing others of lying is classic Casey Anthony. When Casey Anthony wants to die for attention away from herself. She accuses objection overruled at this point.

As we have heard from the evidence Mrs. Ms. Anthony has been years lying has spent thirty-one days Mr. Baez in his argument to you suggested those thirty-one days mean nothing. A lie told convincingly is still a lie. The defendant through Council has accused Yuri Melich. Objection overruled at this point.

Jason forgery, her Rodell Loi C. Dr. Bob many many of the witnesses that have come forward in this case of being liars. In a statement he indicted that the orange county sheriff's office is desperate. Or was desperate in this case, and if there was anything that the individuals working for the orange county sheriffs were. It was desperate to find a little girl.

In July 2008 she would know she was dead or alive. The men and women of orange county sheriffs labored for hours in an advert to find her. They were joined by the FBI with law enforcement agencies all over the country the Florida Dept. of Law enforcement, Texas at the search. Citizens. People who had nothing an who had another motive. No motive other than to find Caylee Marie Anthony. But it was a lie. It was all and Main. Even the defendant's parents, her brothers were searching in vain. You know, false allegations of child aabduction are nothing new in bearable as in this case it turns out that the perp or trader is a family member. Allegation of a false abduction diverged resources and from the above perpetrator. Beverage attention away from the perpetrator. Objection Harger Arianna and proper argument overruled.

ISA perpetrator more time and you will remember other things that Casey Anthony said to her mother when she picked her up from her boyfriend Tony Lazarro's apartment. Was that she wanted another day. She wanted more time. She was trying to buy time. When she told her brother about the kidnapping she was trying to buy time. Time to concoct another lie. Another story, and at anything to divert attention away from herself. Nor paragraph in his argument Consul put up pictures. All of the law enforcement officers who were at the Anthony home that night, suggesting there was no smell in the car because they took no action. That first night July 15, 2008 the police did not the Caylee Anthony was dead. At that point they had no reason to believe Caylee Anthony was dead. There was no reason to come connect to any smell in the car to Caylee Anthony being dead.

The defendant was telling them that she was alive that she was somewhere else. She was asking for their help finding her. So much so that this episode that Mr. Mason talked about of Ms. Anthony being handcuffed, was ended like that does the members of the orange county sheriffs office were dare to hell. They were not very threatening her to give a statement. They were dare to hell. The next day at universal studios there were three long-term detectives who were dare to hell. If you listen to Ms. Anthony statement again. They say to her. You have to read detectives here who want to help you will expend the resources to find her daughter. Why are you lying to us? These are not involuntary statements as would be suggested that he should just roll with the statements does just of a consciousness of guilt on Ms. Anthony was Anthony's part. She was buying time. Like she had done with her parents, her brother, her friends.

The thirty-one days are really meaningless? Did I hear that? And I hear her version of that? Counsel should suggested that the detailing of what Ms. Anthony was doing during these thirty-one days had more to do with the state trying to prove that she was a slut? Did I hear that? Nothing could be further from the truth.

Those weird imaginary friends

Initially, the sheriffs. The orange county sheriff's office in an effort to help her was trying to backtrack and find out where was and what she had been doing because she told him she was conducting her own investigation. Really? They were using her cell phone records to try to track down this the night to find Caylee Marie Anthony to help the defendant. But as they backtracked, as you found out it had become more and more and more apparent that the defendant was lying about everything. You question.

A few go back and look at her for page written statement only true statement on bear that Caylee Marie Anthony was born on August 9, 2005. That is it. Every other statement on that form is a lie.

You heard her to trial, and it has been suggested to you in closing arguments by defense that everybody agrees differently. What that may certainly be true. Everybody grieves differently, and rebutting everybody's responses to grief are as bearable as the day is long, but responses to guilt are all sole predictable. What do guilty people do?

They live. They avoid. They run. They mislead. Not just their family, but the police. They Deibert attention away from them selves and they act like nothing is wrong. That is why you heard about what happened those thirty-one days. Not to try to convince you to hate Casey Anthony. But to show you that what she was doing during those thirty-one days was in no way indicative of grief was in no way the response to someone whose child of someone whose child is has died by accident.

Counel will say will she could have gotten the plane and left jurisdiction. The classic signs right away. Ms. Anthony did not have options. And those gel videotapes, you will hear you did here and if you listen to them again will hear her say this was a time of desperation for her and her other was like desperation? What are you talking about? Desperation? She had no option to go anywhere except away from her family. That is why that is who she ran from because those are the people who would be asking her all the questions. The further easy to placate their not really paying attention to her life. And she is telling them. My moms crazy or my parents are getting a divorce or my dad had a heart attack.

Objection judge sustain.

She was running from her family during those days. The people who want to know more than just as a passing reference where is Caylee.

Objection the court sustained my objection and consuls continue in on the argument. I give in exchange continue.

The defendant's actions and responses during those thirty-one days, and surf for you though only real question left at this stage of the proceedings. And that is, who killed Caylee Anthony.

The question is no longer where is Caylee. And remember my statement I asked where is Caylee Anthony over and over again. We now know that wiki Caylee Anthony is.

Objection judge, not rebuttal over rules. The question is no longer what happened to Caylee Marie Anthony. We know what happened to Caylee. The question is who killed Caylee?

For the longest time Caylee was alive. Nobody killed Caylee. Caylee is a life. Until remains are found. As I told you that I warned you about in opening state tax and circumstances changed over the course of the a course of time. The defendant were lies. Every one of them was a lie. Ask yourself a lie designed to do what? A lie designed for a specific purpose. Today Casey out of a jam. So for the longest time Caylee is a life.

Until her remains are found and then of course the lie cannot be Caylee is what the nanny. She lives she has been kidnapped to the to do with it objection may we approach? No.

The lies. changed. They got bigger. They got better. They got a got more involved more they involve more people. Mr. bad Baez and in his closing statement would have you believe that there must be something wrong with Casey Anthony because she has imaginary friends.

The lie must change. I told in opening statements that it would. So now, the theory is that there was some sort of accident. Well, you know, you know from the evidence in this case that Caylee Anthony's death was not an accident. First off, the Orange County Sheriff's office proposed to Casey Anthony on July 16 of 2008 maybe your baby died by accident. Can we hear that segment, please?

Audi transcript of Casey Anthony with Yuri Mellich at Universal---------------------------------------------

Yuri Melich> I sat down with mothers who rolled over on their babies accidentally. I have had a sitdown with mothers whose kids drown in swimming pools. Mothers who had boyfriends who beat their kids to death who felt horrible about what happened and then have to go to try to explain to their families okay. And then I have also had to deal with people who have done pourable unspeakable things to children have lied about it in light about it and lied about it. Okay? Another he is somewhere in there, I probably dealt with somebody who may be made a mistake to continue to lie about it. Maybe they were such a bad person, but maybe the whole world and see if that weight. Maybe their families would not see it that way because they kept lying about it and finding months down the road are days down the road. When they finally decide to come forward okay. People Pascucci told me he liked me for the last time. I do not want to listen to what you have to say do not talk to me anymore okay...................

Iin his closing statement to the consul suggested that the Orange County Sheriff's office had murder on their minds that they did not want to consider that this was an accident. You heard right there, was there an action basically? I have dealt with tons and tons of people. I have seen it all. Was there an accident? No Caylee is a life.

The defendant's mother suggested the whole accident scenario involved. The pool, specifically on the June sixteenth of 2008 . We hear that please........

Audio of Cindy Anthony>>>>

is a video of Cindy talking to Casey at the jail. George is with her.

Cindy>Someone just said that Caylee drowned in the pool.

Casey> No surprise there . surprise surprise, surprise surprise

So when Caylee Anthony has found dead on December 11, 2008 surprise surprise. It is an accident. No person would ever make this accidental death of a child look like murder.

The defendant's actions during those thirty-one days in response to this are completely inconsistent with what people 100% of the time. You heard doctor Gavalia s100% of time when a child is involved in an accident. Somebody tries to save them. They want them. they call 911. They anguish over the death of a child. Especially especially if you want to accept this testimony that Ms. Anthony was an amazing mother. Click here that from? How is that defined? Her friends? People who do not have kids. They have other lies that have seconds to seconds of interaction? The questions and support of, what did you think about Casey Anthony's relationship with the child were things like that Caylee ranter mother? Of course she did. Every baby loves their mother they have every reason to. Their love is unconditional. Of course going to run to her mother. Just lke she ran to her grandparents.while Casey provided food and shelter and close for Caylee that makes her a great mother. Note that makes her a mother. Maybe in adequate mother. But in reality, the full the clothes. The shelter were provided by her grandparents. That is why Caylee was healthy and happy and well fed and well taken care of and nicely dressed.

Look at her. Look at their backyard. What amazing parent acts with complete indifference to the accidental death of their child. You heard it from the defense of an expert an example of an amazing parent a woman whose child died and she wanted to go to the child's gravesite, because the child had never been in a storm in the dark alone. That is an amazing mother.

A mother who tried to protect her child even in death.. If this truly was an accident in the pool Caylee Anthony would have been found floating in the pool not floating in a swamp down the street. If this was an accident that George Anthony knew about. He told you we would not be here today. I would not be here. They would not be here. She would not be here. You would not be here.

Objection, not rebuttal,

If he was at home as a suggested accident in the pool occured, he would have called 911. He would have tried CPR. He would never have to do granddaughter put her in a bag and threw her in the woods. Never! No paternal instinct. Did we watch the Jail videos?

MisterAshton covered the video we watch the same videos Mr. Anthony said to his daughter. in he would trade plays with his daughters in a second.

Objection this is an argument by Mr. Ashton. Sustained.

This argument cannot be followed to any logical conclusion the way these remains were found were disposed of Shoals complete complete indifference to the child. A speaker bios about how the person who disposed of her really felt about her.

Can we look at a picture of the Playhouse.'''''''''''''''''''''''''

this is how George and Cindy Anthony felt about their granddaughter. They built her playhouse in the back yard. Georgia Anthony landscaped it for her. Put a little mailbox out. Therefore her with her name on it. Put a stone base.

Objection on rebuttal overruled.

Put a stone base under that playhouse of that Caylee would not have to sit on the ground in case. It was wet. So that Caylee would not have to sit in the ground where an insect could crawl on her.

On those gel videos you heard Mr. Anthony over and over again trying to get Casey to talk to law enforcement. To the sheriff's office. To the federal bureau of investigation. If he was so diabolical that he was trying to cover up something. Why would not why would he want co-conspirator to talk to the cops. That meant no sense. Trying to engage in a cover-up by want you to talk to the cops.

Not only does tthe disposal of those remains speak volumes about how Casey Anthony felt about Caylee, . The phone call that she made to her parents the night that she was arrested June 16 of 2008.

Objection not rebuttal is the second closing argument. Overruled.

Call with Case. Phone ringing, (First call from Jail)
hello hello this is a call from Casey inmate from the Orange County correctional Center for a rate quote press seven. Except this recall Peres zero. To obtain this call is subject to monitoring and recording. Think you for using global tackling.
Casey. Mom.
Hey sweetie. Well,
I just saw your cannot TV. Which oneI did four different ones, and I would do not know I have not seen them all only seen one or two so far.

You do not know what my involvement is in the stuff?
no I do not know what your involvement is Sweetheart, you are not telling me where she is at.
Casey
mom
Because I do not fucking know where she is at.
Casey, do not waste or call screaming and hollering at me.
Waste my call and tell? Whose fault is it that I am in jail .
you are blaming me blame yourself for telling lies.what do you mean it is not your fault if you are telling them the truth and not lie about everything.
Just tell me where Tony's number is. I want to talk to you right now.
I do not have his number ,
get it from Lee. I saw Mallory's car was out front. I know they are
well
well. Can you get Tony's number for me so I can call and talk to him....................I can do that, I do not know what real good is going to do. You at this point.
What I like to talk to anyway.
Okay.........................
you are making a real tough for anybody to want to trite even giving you some ............................

when you use your common sense, you can listen and hear that there is nothing that is wrong with Casey Anthony that cannot be explained using two words, pathological liar. She is not greeting accident accidental death of her daughter. Her focus is on Casey that day they had been for that day and in thirty-one days preceding it and that was with Tony Lazarro. that is all she wanted to do. When she called her parents. Aside from cost them out. I want Tony's number.

You have learned during the course of this trial that Casey Anthony is the only person who had access to every single night of evidence discussed by Mr. Ashton. Today and yesterday. The duct tape, the laundry bag, a blanket, the shorts, the car. There is no evidence that anyone other than Casey Anthony was driving around in Dakar. That began to smell to the point where she is texting her friends Amy raising the I think my dad has run over a dead animal. She texted back to Amy's hiving.about fifteen minutes before her boyfriend, Tony picked her up at the and Scott. Soul you would think if your car smells like there is a dead animal plastered to the frame of it may be you should check the trunk. Maybe you see if there is a garbage bag or a trash bag in the trunk. That trash bag was placed there as a decoy. You heard testimony from Katherine Sanchez, that the car was back into that spot by the dumpster. Why the dumpster? Guess why the dumpster. Because in addition to the bag of trash to the dumpster was a decoy to keep people are either away from the car or thinking that was the source of the order.

The Anthony's do not have asked access to Dakar. George Anthony did not know where Dakar was. Ms. Anthony was on the way to the boyfriend that her parents did not even know existed. How would they know where to find her car? She told her mother she was in Tampa or Jacksonville or somewhere. They did not know where she was or where the car was. And finally, the shirt.

Big trouble comes in small packages. Indeed. Cindy Anthony told you that shirt was not one that she was familiar with. She did the laundry. That shirt was not At the Anthony Howells on hope Springs drive. That sure was kept in the car in the diaper bag or a backpack, because we saw with on two different occasions at her car to morale is his apartment in January 2008 -- again in March.

Someone in that house killed Caylee Anthony. They want you to believe it was George who was involved in a cover-up of an accident that did not happen.

Even George Anthony did not have access to all of these being. Only Casey Anthony did. No one else tried to cover up and lie and lie and lie and lie. And I can go on a dozen or more times.

Where were George and Cindy? Let us throw Cindy into the mix to as a possible perpetrator, because Casey Anthony would have you believe this is all her mother's fault anyway for leaving the ladder down. Let us twist the knife in my mom a little further, a little more. The cover-up is her dad's fault was twist the knife in him to. What were George and Cindy Anthony doing in June and July of 2008. Their living at home. Bear going to work. And they are missing their granddaughter. What is Casey Anthony doing? Where is Casey Anthony? Was she got where she normally is at home. She that Tony's because that is who saw her. She tells her mom. She is in Tampa or Jacksonville or wherever. She is now where she is supposed to be. And where it is Caylee? Caylee is dead in the woods.

At the end of this case all you really have to do is ask yourself a simple question. Whose life is better without Caylee? Was Cindy Anthony's life better?
CINDYS 911 CALL...
I called a little bit ago, I found out my granddaughters been taken to been missing for months, her mother finding that she has been missing. What is the address that you are calling from 4937 Hope Springs Dr. We are talking about a three-year-old little girl. 4937 what Hope Springs Dr., Orlando my daughter finally admitted that the babysitter Stoler. I need to find her. Her daughter made at that the baby is where? The babysitter took her a month ago. My......... daughter.....................

WAS GEORGE ANTHONY'S LIFE BETTER? Mr. Ashton went over what George Anthony's life was like as a result of losing his daughter sees me granddaughter his beloved granddaughter. Whose life was better? That is the only question you need to answer in considering why Caylee Marie Anthony was left on the side of the road dead.

Pis shown to jury

thank you Your Honor

STATES REBUTTAL, Jeff Ashton

TRANSCRIBED WITH DRAGONSPEAKING 10.0

Casey Anthony is what the courtroom. She is looking at paperwork and talking with Dorothy Clay Simms, .her attorney. the jury is brought in the state
Good morning and happy Fourth of July. Linda Drane Burdick and I will discuss different portions of you with you to are both going to speak you are going to discuss topics. I want to begin by discussing the signs in the case. Defense counsel issued an approach tax on the signs I want to take a more measured in complex approach. Science cannot be understood. Simplistic concepts are easy phrases. The best way to understand the science this case is to look at it and first look at what the scientists agree on. And then, what they do not agree on. And basically the way it works is. It is up to you to decide when an expert as with any other witness will party of the testimony you believe or do not believe. And in a dispute between experts. It is a cute decide which one you believe in you may reject oath. You may believe, you may find that a more credible than the other because of the experience or because of just what they said made sense. So it is totally up to you to decide what you believe from what the experts have told you. I think you might be helpful to start are kind of isolating these areas sort of by subject matter.
Their first what I like to start talking about is the experts. You heard on the subject a forensic anthropology in forensic pathology. those are sort of the fields. Those are the medical examiner and a forensic pathologist. The people that look at the remains of cells. And what they told you. He simply heard in this case from Dr. Jen who was the chief medical examiner of the District 9 medical examiner office here in Orange county. Dr. us he was a gentleman who first took custody of the remains were removed to remove the duct tape and told about that. You for conduct Scholz was a forensic anthropologist who works out of hear the University Center Florida and is a contract consultant for the medical examiner examiner's office here. You are from Dr. Michael warned, who is the director of the identification lab of the University of Florida. And you also heard from Dr. Warner Spitz, whose a defense expert called on the subject. Now what do all of them agree on? Well all of them agreed that number one. There is nothing in the bones that tells us anything. The all agree there is no somatic injury to the bones. There is no break, no fractures no injuries is no nothing. Just looking at the bones. They all agree that bears nothing to tell us how Caylee die. Everyone agrees to that. The other thing they all agree about that is significant in this case is that because of the way the human body decomposes their are two parts of the head that should not be together. That is the mandible and the skull. It is Spitz even said remember he talked about when you pick up the skull the mandible would stay on the ground. Do not connect appeared Wednesday decompose clear is that we keep them together. And what they all also agree about in this case is that when Caylee Anthony's body was found school and the mandible were still in what they refer to as an of comical position. In other words, it was in the same position it would have been had the flesh of the tendon been holding it.

Where they disagree is on Wyatt light that was the case. Dr. us Dr. Schultz and Dr. Warren all told you that the only theme that could have kept that mandible in anatomical position is. The tape. Remember Dr. Warren told you in years, I would Smits you based on what you have heard the most experienced of the four forensic anthropology. In skull he has told you that the only other time he has ever seen be gelatine ice fully skeleton eyes body with the mandible and the skull and anatomical position is in sirree able in a skull of a person that was duct taped. They have told you do in their opinion, which again you make up your you may reject, that the tape had to have it in on that skull before she decompose. Dr. Spitz presented you with an alternative. And I discussed that alternative with him at length. His alternative was that someone had come along at some later point for some unknown reason a reached down and picked up the skull off the ground. The effect of the mandible took them someplace put them back together and duct taped them to hold them in place. And then return them to the scene.

You heard the cross-examination of Dr. Spitz about that. So Mario. And it is up to you to judge whether that said ,is reasonable or makes any sense at all. When I pointed out to Dr. Spitz, that his scenario all of this goal being returned was inconsistent with the first of all the deterioration of the duct tape and second of all most importantly remember I asked him about. Well, the person would not just have the skull back they would have had to have drink pieces of air over the skull. Remember what his response to that was. His response to that was to accuse the medical examiner personnel of doing it. And then when I showed him the photograph of the skull at the scene undisturbed with the head in exactly the same place. He accused the sheriff's personnel of doing that. It is up to you to decide which of those two expert opinions you find more credible. And I submit to you based on evidence that you heard that Spitz's version of events is credible and non-credible. And I will get to later on in my remarks that it actually is also inconsistent with the very theory the defense has been presented to you in the other parts of their argument. We will get to that later.
The other area that they disagreed on was a appropriateness and necessity saw an open TV skull. Dr. Spitz told you that incorrect that it was a violation of protocol for the doctor not to have sought open Caylee skull. And that it was in his words, sloppy. On cross examination, however. When challenged, even with his own bloat to demonstrate where that protocol was set down. He was unable to do so.

When asked if there was any protocol he was aware of dealing with skeletal remains that required such an act. He admitted there was not.

In response to that we call Dr. Michael war and back again. The director of the human identification laboratory to tell you that in fact it is not protocol. In fact, it is contra indicated to open the skull unnecessarily because there may be times when there may be some articular artifact that cannot be otherwise appreciated. But generally no skulls are not open. It is not sloppy or failed to do so. In fact, it is dangerous to open the skull. Particularly in a child because when you do that, the skull breaks, as Dr. Spitz did. Member I accept a Spitz, if you broke me to hear broke that I showed him the photograph and the skull was fractured. He did not seem to remember. And I would submit to you that based upon what you have heard in this case that Dr. Spitz is claimed that that autopsy was done improperly is not credible.

The other issue that they disagree on is this issue of the suppose it and this was sort of my shorthand term. But brain dust or brain residue. He referred to it as like dust in the skull. He says that there was this residue in the skull that he could tell by looking at it was romance of the decomposition of Caylee's bring. And because of the position that he could tell that that is, but that is the skull was on its side. He is now is that he took sample of it and he does not know if it has ever been tested or not. So we brought in Dr. Bruce Goldberger from the University of Florida who watched the inside of the skull tested it and told you that there is no decomposition product inside that skull. So he did the test that Dr. Spitz said he did not do. He could not do it because he did not have a laboratory. And we know now that is not what Dr. Spitz.it was. So Dr. Spitz hold their event that proven that the skull was on his side has not been disproven.

You will also recall in cross examination, I pointed out to Dr. Spitz, that the arrangement of the hear Mass is not consistent with his theory of how the skull decomposed. you will also recall cross-examination. I pointed out their hair mat is not consistent with his theory of how the skull decompose. In fact remember we talked about how the skull was on its side. The hair mass was going to fall to its side. It is not going to fall evenly. Blah blah blah. You can look at those on grass. Have them all back to jury room. You can look at them and you can see.

I also like that the Spitz an interesting question that counsel somewhat criticized me for asking. He now is that in determining the manner of death is absolutely essential for forensic pathologist to know about the events leading up to the death or disappearance of the victim. It is common sense. He said yes. You have to know as much as you can about that. So I accept the Spitz will what did you know? What information were you given? What research did you do? He said when I went to the house. What you do at the house? Does it there was a pool. That is all he remembered. We will what do you know about the events. You know leading to her disappearance, etc. Will that was something about the nanny. It has all been you. I was him its you that is foundation of information about this case is not sufficient to make his opinion credible. In this case. That affect the evidence in the case shows that the medical investigation was thorough and complete and the testimony by the doctors is credible and is worthy of your belief.

Now let us talk next about the entomological evidence,. the big feature of the case, it was not due to the council referred to it as let us talk about it. You heard the entomologists. He told you to opinions essentially. What about the car and what about the scene. You heard from Dr. Timothy Huntington, who has been missing in this field since he received his PhD in 2008. A very bright young man. I do not mean to denigrate his education or his sincerity. But the fact of the matter is you have to decide who you find more believable. Someone who has been practicing in the field for twenty-five or thirty years, as someone who has been practicing in the field for three. But again, they are art beings they agree on. They agree on this very important fact. That the evidence at the scene were Caylee is remains body was found indicates that the body. Initially be composed in some other location from which the early colonizing flies were restricted. Dr. Huntington said he agreed that wherever Caylee's body was are the first few days of decomposition. Those early flies cannot get to her. And then she was taken and dumped there and that in the woods in that swampy area you were describing so many people. They both agreed that they occurred sometime in June or July 2008. Based upon the evidence, and they agree. What Dr. Haskell said about the scene Dr. Huntington , agrees. Where they diverge is the single issue of whether the trunk would have excluded the early colonizing flies. That is the only place where they disagree. Dr. Haskell with his twenty-five years of experience in the field has told you that in his opinion, that they that in his opinion the trunk is a source that could have excluded the early colonizing fly. Dr. Huntington who candidly admits that he has never any his career doubt what they did the. A trunk in a real world situation are based upon some experiments applying conditions completely different than in this case. Remembered that the pigs in the blanket comment that we meet. That based upon bad experiment and experiment alone, he renders the opinions the trunk would not have excluded the early colonizing flies. Again, it is a TV decide which expert is more credible, whether you believe it or need it is completely up to you. But the important thing is on what they agree. That the body decompose some place else. That it was somewhere, either by being wrapped or by being stored was a situation whether or early flies could not get to it -- from June or July through December. It sat there in the woods. All right. Let us go to the area next of the chloroform.

Mr. Baez had a nice big poster about that. Had all the experts are people that talked about chloroform. What is important to understand and evaluate the various people who testified about chloroform is to understand first what that were testing and second what their perspective was. Not remember Mr. Baez made a good deal of comment on the adjectives used by Dr. Voss and Dr. Weisser vs. the adjectives used by Dr. Rickenbaugh.. One thing you have to understand using those adjectives is they are perspective. That the box and Dr. Weiss are used to looking in environmental air samples. Dr. Weiss told you he is he has looked at of our mental air samples from all kinds of car exhausts environmental conditions. Industrial all different areas. And he has told you that based upon that experience that he fell to the amount of chloroform. He was seen in the sample from the trunk was high. Was surprisingly high because of what his experiences. Dr. Vass experience is similar. What he is looking at is they are samples from dead bodies and easy seized many of them. He told you that based upon he what he has seen in decomposing bodies and he has occasionally seen chloroform andin those cases and theirin those cases very small amounts, but compared to debt, what he saw was shockingly high. But taking away the adjective important thing is more to say, what did they actually find? Dr. Weiss and Dr. Bosque told you that the chloroform. They found in the trunk hair sample and the car was somewhere in the low parts per million range. Dr. Weiss gave you an excellent explanation of the idea quantified tags. He is a quantify cats would have meant anything in this case, because even if you want to buy the amount of chloroform being given off by the carpet sample mean anything in terms of the amount of chloroform that was there was a month before. Because chloroform is volatile, it evaporates. So it is would not mean anything. But he does say that Dr. Voss says that based upon the qualitative analysis and the comparison between the amount of chloroform and the limit of the machine and the controls was somewhere in Lowell part per million range.

Dr. Rick and box from the FBI to assist simmers similar sample out of the car but also tested the actual spare tire cover in this box. Remember, he received it in the box not sealed. Not in the can. None plastic. In air permeable car board. He actually told you he found chloroform. Even in that spirit, he was surprised. He could not believe he founded the member chloroform is volatile. And this is not sealed. The fact he thought anything on that sample was amazing. I remember when he told you was that he found eight much greater amount of chloroform in this field can. Remember, I think I had them I have put some numbers on the board and it was in terms of of percentages of the control. The control was 100 ppm. In this item, I think he put it at .08% of the control. In the cannot it was 5% of the control. Again, he said because he said, and we will tell you, that is not a qualitative tags. It is not intended to be. But what is interesting about it is that the rough estimate. But in the low parts per million. The same thing that Dr. Voss found. Now to Dr. Rickenbacha case that was being investigated. But even he said that he found detectable amounts of chloroform coming from the carpet in this case and Casey Anthony's car. Nothing he had ever seen before. That is the significance of about just what it says. If they all told is thinking. This is the first time we have seen this. Actually taxable amount of chloroform coming from a car remember what they told you Dr Rickenbach agree. The amount of chloroform in the items is far less than the amount of chloroform. That would have been there before. Because chloroform is volatile, it evaporates. It fills a space. Until fresh air comes in. Remember the car was aired out by the Anthony family for hours on the fifteenth going into the sixteenth. So the chloroform that would have been there before. It was opened up when it was at the junkyard what it was at the total yards was far greater than anything these people found. And ladies and gentlemen, I would submit to you that there has been absolutely no evidence to explain where it came from and why. Objection overruled.

Dr. Sigmund who was a gentleman from UC ask that did his initial testing of the sample. He told you he testified the trunk for days after that. It was removed. It had been gone for four days. It even after four days later he was able to take to detect even with his equipment, which said is not as good as what Dr. boss uses. It does not capture as much even he was able to find detectable amounts of chloroform in the trunk of that car. What should have been bears should not have been any chloroform in the trunk of the car. But it was there. Dr. Sigmund also told you something that was very interesting. He told you that while chloroform can be created by incidental contact between chlorine bleach and organic materials that that does not happen in a vacuum. That when that does happen, other compounds are created and those compounds have not been found in this case. All that has been found is chloroform. No chlorine. Remember I asked Dr. Furtan there is no bleach stains on the spare tire cover. Are there? No. There is not. There is no the issue was brought out the same cleaning products and small amounts of chloroform in their. I accept the Furtan, where any of the other constituent compounds of cleaning products found? No, they were not. All that was found in the examination of that carpet is -- they are tire cover were the components of decomposition of chloroform. And that all the experts agree including those called by the defense.

Let us talk now, another subject, as far as the air examination, which is the order of decomposition. The expert testimony that defense. The defense's primary attack on Dr. Voss is dead he has developed a device which iswho is used to looking at chloroform in its liquid form is an a lot. We told you this is the first time I have ever found chloroform and any kind of solid object. Every time I have looked at chloroform is been the liquid form in an adulterated liquids of some sort .....Ashton: Experts deal w/diff. forms of chloroform. But both found detectable amounts of chloroform,Ashton said UCF expert tested trunk 4 days after item removed. He still detected chloroform.Ashton says The myth of the garbage has been disproven.
Ashton turns to the smell of the car.Ashton said defense attacks royalties earned from device designed by Dr. Vass.
Says Vass' device is for military/ law enforcement. Ashton calls Vass an "unapologetic science geek."

Ashton brings up reasonable doubt and says duct tape came from Anthony home. Says to say George was involved "absurd" . Ashton says let's just assume George Anthony.was involved- "Does any of this make sense? None of it does." again calls it "absurd." .
The take the gas cans which at the time they have no idea has anything to do with his anything photographic and they end they gave it back to him. Talk about gas cans. This is at the point George Anthony takes the can back and sticks in a garage for four monthsan opportunity do anything with it. Does not try to connect it to the police. He just lets it sit there. And then in December when the body is found. The police find the can with duct tape in the garage. George does not pointed out to them, they find because remember George's and even they are. They find it in they take it into evidence. So what does this nefarious criminal, then do? He takes the very same roll of duct tape and he which connects into this death and uses it to display posters. Does any of this make sense? None of this makes sense. To assert that George Anthony use of the dub of the tape on the pollsters for his missing granddaughter painted Lee absurd. It does not make any sense. Objection was to strike overruled.

The reason that it does not make sense is because it is not. I submit based on the evidence room is true. George Anthony had absolutely no idea that the roll of duct tape had anything to do with the death of his granddaughter of his granddaughter. He had no idea. Because he was not involved. Just as he told you. You know counsel showed you a big poster with the pictures of Caylee walking into the pool. Instead, that this hypothesis has not been rebutted. Well, I respectfully disagree. Because ladies and gentlemen, the two people that Council serves were present when this happened were George Anthony and Casey Anthony. And George Anthony testified that witness on the witness stand. The first day of this trial. It did not happen. And as Mrs. Burdick will point out when she speaks to you in a few moments. Mrs. Anthony also was given an opportunity to adopt that every detected. It twice. That has been refuted by the evidence in this case.

Council also served to you that the crime scene was quote unquote staged. And here is the interesting part he tells you on the one hand that George Anthony is connected to the tape. all the tape members he said in opening follow the tape, but then on the other hand, he tells you that workaround is connected to the tape. The Spitz told you that somebody came along later and took the skull and taped it and in opening statement defense counsel, told you that the person Roy Kronk. So they both got the duct tape were court who has no connection to the Anthony family other than reading bare meter ones who has never been in their house. Who has never been in there garage Theatre was never has no way of knowing what kind of duct tape a half. So which is it? Who put the duct tape there? Consuls are you choose the crime scene was staged. And I have state exhibit number eighty-two published to the jury please?

You will recall, this is a photograph the scene out there are suburban drive as it was found on December the love and. Of 2008 before anything was disturbed. This is and it is pristine form. I would submit to you that looking at this scene. It is clear that the only thing that has been staged the scene is mother nature herself. This scene is covered in leaf litter. There is a to a 3 inch pile of leaf litter surrounding this goal as testify to. There are binds literally growing over everything in this scene. Their vines you will see in photographs growing through everything in this scene. The scene is staged by mother nature, and no one else. The skull has not been moved for six months. Pardon me. Maybe a little bit less because the animals might have moved it before it decompose. Defense counsel told you in opening statement that Roy Kronk took the remains home and kept them. We presented the testimony of Dr. John Scholz forensic anthropologist who was in charge of the collection of the remains. And he went to great lengths with you and show you where the remains were found. And in what groupings. The reason that was important was because the grouping of the various poems demonstrates that the body was just articulated during decomposition. Remember, he talked about that there were certain areas where the ribs were found. Because that the trunk would have been removed as a connected group of Oregon organs as it decompose. That the vertebrate that was separately because they were would have decompose separately, the poll showed no evidence of overruled at this point, the poll showed evidence of animal activity that they had been chewed on. We did not tell you that, just to offend you or to make you mad. We told you that because it is essential for you to understand that these bones were not scattered by Roy Crunk. They were scattered by animals, and by tax of nature. \
Can I have 207 inevidence? okay you can see from this photograph little bit chemicals are up, where the skull. The skull has not been moved. For months. It is surrounded by day here, which is at the top of the head. You can see it all wrong pretend that evenly distributed about the skull. This is where the skull has sat since they are in the scalp decompose and fell off. And it was not and it has not been moved since. At least not much.
Could I have 209?the duct tape. Duct tape is partially covered by leaf litter along the sides. Remember when you seed the new for next photograph used in a duct tape actually goes around the jaw and the skull. This has been here so long that the leaf litter has actually covered parts of the duct tape. objection overruled.

Could I have 218 please in this photograph, you can clearly see the duct tape wrapped around the mandible. It did not just get washed thereby water. It is there because that is where Casey Anthony put it. If they are, the jaw is in place, because the duct tape is there.

Can I have 220? you can see in this photograph for the duct tape has now been lifted away from the skull from the mandible excuse me g\et th was placed over her mouth and her nose before she decompose.you can take it off now, There are strings from the tape that actually go under the mandible. It is not a coincidence. It is not an accident. It is not water. that is because the tape was placed over her mouth and her nose before she decomposed.

You can take it off now. The scene was not staged. It appears as it does because of the forces of nature. The forces of water. The forces of animals. And the forces of decomposition, and any suggestion to the contrary. I would submit to you is conclusively refuted by the evidence in these photographs. All these photographs you will have in the jury room with you. Their noble. The separated by sort of subject matters legal right to them. Look at them. Take as much time as you would like to look at them. And when you see the and when you done that you are going to see that this crime scene was not stage it was not moved the duct tape has been a Caylee space Center day that she died. Just as the state experts told you.

The state did not call Roy Kronk in this case. Because Roy Kronk testimony about what he did on December the love and 2008 is embellished. Ray likes to spin a good yarn. What Roy said he did on December the love and is impossible. We do not we import Roy Kronk on to tell you a story that the evidence indicates just is not true. And I would submit to you that Roy claims that he just happened upon that scene for second time is equally incredible. That does not mean that he staged the scene that he stole it change the stuff. What it means is that Roy likes to spin a good yarn. I submit to you based on evidence, what occurred in this case was that Roy found the skull as we know he did back in August. He tried a reported four times. And he got blown off and said the heck with it. I am over this. Maybe it really was not. But then he starts communicating with his son. He starts telling his son Daniel, the skull was. His son is impressed. He tried to get back his relationship back with his son. Wow, would not it be great to impress my son. So he had goal is back to the scene, and it is still there. And right becomes a hero. And tells a very very dramatic story about lifting up a bag in the skull rolling out and its dramatic. And it is wonderful and it is fun, but it is not true. Right from the skull all right. Absolutely just like he said. It is just impossible. But that does not make Roy Kronk a morally bankrupt individual who would take a little girls skull home and play with that.
The judge is going to give you some legal instructions, and I want to talk. Talk about a few of them the most important of the judge is going to talk to you about the main charge of murder in the first degree there to wage commit murder in the first degree. What is call premeditated murder and others call felony murder.
now we get up here and we are wrong to what we do get around to what we believe evidence supports. In this case we tbut you can come up with whatever scenario you want. It is up to you to put these acts together and decided in your own mind what you can In. And that is what we call circumstance. They are two ways to commit murder in the first degree. Important thing is for you to know the following during deliberations. Paragraph in order to find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree the state must convince you beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant's guilt of either premeditated murder or felony murder. Your Honor will object misstatement of the law armoring directly from overruled.

Get a premeditated murder, felony murder, while you must all agree that the state has proven first degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt. You need not be unanimous in your opinion as to whether the finding is based on premeditated murder or felony murder. In other words, what makes this means is that is is each individually assessed these facts you do not have to necessarily agree know whether it is premeditation or felony murder. You can think it is both. Some cannot think of one. Somebody gets another. The important thing is that you all agree that his first degree murder in some form. The meditative first degree murder is fairly simple concept.

It just indicates that three elements are that Caylee is dead. The death was caused by the criminal act of Casey Marie Anthony and that there is a premeditated killing of Caylee Marie Anthony.

Killing is defined as a killing after consciously deciding to do so and there is another more full description that the judge will give you. Our position is that the facts in this case show beyond a reasonable doubt that this was premeditated murder of a young child. But we know that you can reconstruct these event. Anyway you want. So, you also need to know what felony murder is.

Felony murder has three elements. The first is the same that is if Caylee is dead. The second is the death occurred as a consequence of and while Casey Marie Anthony was engaged in the commission of aggravated child abuse. Or she died while Casey was attempting to commit aggravated child abuse. In that Casey is the person who killed Caylee.

Not aggravated child abuse is defined by two elements. The first is that the defendant knowingly or willfully committed an act of child abuse upon Caylee and in so doing caused great bodily harm, permanent disability or permanent disfigure disfigurement and that Caylee was under eighteen. Which there is no question that she was.

title abuse is defined as the intentional infliction of mental physical or mental injury upon the child or an intentional act that could reasonably be beat be expected to result n physical or mental injury to a child or act of encouragement of another person to do that. The reason that we talk about this is. You can postulate a number of different. ....
Objection Under brogues >Overruled
....a number of different hypothesis in this case.this some I say well maybe Casey put duct tape on Caylee to keep her quiet. Maybe she was being loud. You know, maybe she put it on to keep her quiet and put it onto too tight and Caylee died by accident. I would submit not really consistent with what we have here, but you know someone could think that. The reason I bring this out is because if that is what you think happened. That is felony murder. As the court will define it for you. That is felony murder. Because it is the intentional act that could reasonably be expected to result in physical or mental injury to the child. So if there is it that something that you are thinking about. I just want you to know that also first degree murder. Misstatement of the law, your honor, overruled.

Or if you choose to believe that she used the chloroform to sedate Caylee so that she could spend time with her boyfriend as bizarre as that seems. But let us say that she used the chloroform in the trunk of the car to sedate Caylee so she could go have a good time was Tony on the sixteenth and that Caylee accidentally died. It is still first degree murder. Because that act is aggravated child abuse. If he dies as a consequence, and the result is first degree murder. So regardless of how you put these facts together and again, I submit to you that one makes the most sense is that this is premeditated because it is. It is. But anyway you slice it any way you put it together Casey Anthony is guilty of murder in the first degree. In this case. I want to talk.

I want to talk a little bit about George. You have seen hours of video tapes of conversations between George Anthony sometimes with Cindy and Casey. And sometimes just with Casey. Does give you a window into their relationship between them and unguarded. Unvarnished will into the relationship between these three people people. Is there anything in any of those conversations that showed George Anthony is anything but a loving father? And a loving grandfather? Who is out of his mind with worry over Caylee and am perplexed as to why he is broader, will not tell them something? Throughout all of these conversations he is supportive. He is helpfully Caylee to Casey. He is loving to her. She been set to him on more than one occasion when he expresses some guilt about not having been a better father. She set him over and over again you were the best at. You are great dad. You are great-grandfather. There is nothing in any of those tapes that would suggest in any way that he sitting there of. In some bizarre fashion. Most of her more fiction virginal relationship is with her mother. Most of the arguments to that extent that they occur are with her mother. Not with her father. You know Georgia is under the gun George is the thumb. With the five fingers of the hand. George is about. It is almost a little silly in a way, but George is not this map of alien self interested monster that counsel has suggested. The last time George Anthony testified Mr. Baez brought up those suicide. You recall that he asked his Anthony you know, getting you attempt to commit suicide? Mr. Anthony said he did Mr. Baez asked him while getting you express some guilt in those suicide letter? That is of course before you actually would have had a chance to see it. Now of course Mr. Baez is to be telling you that really was not a suicide attempt. It was just a couple of beers some blood pressure medication. That is not what George said. What Anthony said he to put pressure medication and medication he was given for anxiety by his psychiatrist. He took everything he could find because on January 22 at 2008 he wanted to die. He wanted to be with Caylee. That is all he wanted. He was tired of it all he was tired of the questions he was tired of not knowing. He does want to be with his granddaughter and you cannot read this letter and not see it that this man was in pain.

You can see the effects of this drug and alcohol at his handwriting deteriorates through this letter. This is not some self-serving, deliberately created manifests of innocence. This is the cry of a man who just does not understand the world anymore he does not understand what happened to his granddaughter. He does not understand why his daughter will not tell him. He does not understand, and he is tired. Caylee Marie Agnes her. I miss her. I want my family back. I sit here falling apart because. I should have done more. She was so close to home. Why was she there? Who placed her there? Why is she gone? Why? Are months UNI is specially you always question why. I want this to goal weight for Casey. What happened? I could she not come to us, especially you? Why not leak? Who is involved with the stuff for the stop for Caylee? Before that, he says, I blame myself for being gone. You know for months as a matter of fact for years old, I brought up stuff only to be told not to be negative.

To denigrate Pain by suggesting that that is an that is insincere or selfish, self-serving statement, I believe the facts. I am going to sit down now, and Mrs. Drain-Burduck will address some other areas in this case. I just want to end by thanking you for all your sacrifices and all of your time and to wish you well in the decision that you are going to make. Thank you

Close orf day.

Cheney Mason, instructions to the jury

2011-07-03T17:21:00.001-05:00

Cheney Mason is up next. The jury is brought in their I know you all would like to spend another 10 or 12 hours listening to lawyers. I can see it on your face. Unfortunately, we are not going to get to do that. At least for me. We will spend a few minutes. When I begin to think where we are and where we have come from since May 9 in Clearwater to now. And were about to put on your shoulders. The most sole responsibility that you individually or all of you have ever had to face. And all I can say at bat is too great to do it and you would did it in a good sense and pride in what you do. Just like we did. Hopefully. Now I begin my comments. I want to begin with just a little philosophy. A very dear friend of mine and author and in fact, a judge himself advise, many of this parable. It always was fun to go through. History records records that on May 1, 1790 the skies over Hartford Connecticut turned from blue and sunny to black that the people believed the end of the world was at hand. The Connecticut House of Representatives was in session at that time. Some of its members dropped their did to their knees in prayer as others clamored for Germany. The Speaker of the House rose to his feet and restored order. When these words with these words the day of judgment is either approaching or it is not. If it is not there is no cause for adjournment. If it is coming. I choose to be found doing my duty. I wish therefore that candles be brought. Today is the judgment day in the United States. As for this Constitution, tomorrow will be judgment day to the Constitution every day in which an American stand trial for his liberty before a jury every day in which an American is arrested. In his home or property searched every day in which a voice is raised in speech or song every day in which a vote is cast or counted every day in which a newspaper is printed or read. Every day in what the lawyers asked to defend unpopular or an unpopular cause is judgment day for the United States Constitution. We think our before, does story. We can light candles. Let us lights and candles. On the eve of 4 July anniversary of the freedom of our country and the beginning of a constitutional government. There is something that you are going to hear about that are extremely important. And that is the constitutionality of constitutional rights and constitutional protections that afford the freedom to each and every one of us in this room. And interpreted with some very special rules for Casey Anthony. Now when I and my colleagues get it together or divided in some fashion will make arguments for you in one day or done. I guess, probably tomorrow will then reach you. The instructions of law. I can tell you, now they are going to be questions about those. You have been given 12 diesel that you so you can try to discuss them. Argue button discuss what they mean. I know that you will be able to, because despite how long it has been all the process. You are individual abilities to analyze and resolve your questions regarding those instructions. And instruction a plea of not guilty reasonable doubt and burden of proof. There is some things that controlled the major lighting of candles that were going to do in this case. Casey Anthony is not required to present evidence or proof anything. You may remember that was discussed for you in Clearwater. Not just by the lawyers asking questions, but by Judge Perry Judge Perry look to the side to each one of you discuss that with you and everyone of you understood and agreed. I accept that each of you accepted a constitutional cornerstone of freedom. I will say it again the defendant is not required to present evidence or proof anything. And you must remember that concept with every issue that you discuss when you are back there in the jury room. Cannot get caught up in a motion rhetoric. You can get caught up in conflict being positions amongst you, but no matter what it is. The defendant is not required to present evidence or proof anything. The burden of proof of proving every of required element in this lawsuit rests with mine colleagues at the states attorneys generals office. They do not shy away from it never forget on no matter what issue is. They have all of the burden and there is none will be here because that is what separates our constitutional government and freedom for many others in the world. It is your duty to absolutely ensure these rules are respected and honored through every part of your discussions. Every element of the offenses required to be proven beyond to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. Every reasonable doubt. And if the state of Florida failed in that burden of proof to any element of the F. offense and you are required. Like it or not, emotional and not it is your solemn sworn duty. You are required to find the defendant not guilty and that goes to every single element of each charge in this case.

Only if it can be said in your conscious in your intellectual honesty that the state has proven the elements beyond a reasonable doubt, may you consider finding the defendant guilty. So with every issue that is raised burden of proof. No burden reasonable doubt that will help you get through it. The court is going to tell you that it is your province to weigh the evidence, not the sparring between the lawyers. Not the stacks of 366 pieces of something. And boards, and whatever else. You jurors are the ones who weighed the evidence and decide what evidence is reliable. What evidence you are skeptical about. What evidence you do not trust. It is out of the lawyers can steer you, this is for you to decide. And the court is going to give you some guidance. You do not just look at somebody say what I like the looks back I is too old or he can hear whatever the issues are. You look at some rules to guide you on the evidence such as did the witness claimed to have an opportunity to see and know things about which the witness testified? Did the witness claimed to have a accurate memory? Was a witness honest and straightforward in answering attorneys questions? Oh my. We have seen a lot of the issues about that on the witness stand in the last six weeks perhaps. Did the witness has an interest in how the case should he decide it? Like, you may be able to make some money or something like that. Did the witness testimony agree with the other testimony in the case? Did the witness make testimony at other times, that conflicted with testimony. They already gave? You have the right to leave or disbelieve all or part of any of the evidence of any testimony any witness. 100% of the people sitting in that chair. You have the right to bleed all or none. That is what a jury is about. Otherwise we use these computers, maybe I will live long enough. When we will not have jurors. But for now. You are the credibility of every single witness. The court is going to give you instructions about expert witnesses would have said that will tell you. So it is always an expert in this an expert in that. You can consider debt. You are also going to be told, like other witnesses, you may believe or disbelieve all or any part of an expert's testimony. So just because they may have met the criteria of or.threshold to be anointed by Judge Perry as an expert does not not mean you have got to buy it.

Now, we are going to talk about the elephant in the room. I know what it is and you know what it is. Casey Marie Anthony on the advice of counsel made a decision not to testify in this case. I did not reach this age and try case, says this long to know that is not undermined. But he swore an oath as a juror to rise above Baez and prejudice and media impact and so on. The judge will tell you as follows is not necessary for the defendant to disprove nor is required for defendant did prove her innocence. It is up to the state to prove the defendant guilty. The defendant used her under mental right. You must not be in fluent in any way by her decision. Again, you must not view this as an admission of guilt. A promised you may end a promised that must be If were not lighting candles. For our constitutional rights and freedom. You do not you dare think you can consider the fact that she did not testify as fundamental a right as we have been born in this. The history of our country, since we have had a constitution. I wanted to discuss a subject that you will have to consider counselor did not hear a lot about what counts 456 and seven, when you see, the indictment, you may remember from clear water about it. And the reading of the indictment alleges that Casey Marie Anthony made false statements to Yuri Melich. And the court is going to tell you you must determine from evidence that a defendant's alleged statement was knowingly and voluntarily and freely made. In making this determination, you should consider the total circumstances including blood not limited to, whether when the defendant made a statement had been threatened in order to get her to make it and whether anyone had promised or anything in order to get her to make it. If you include this statement were not freely and voluntarily made you should disregard it out. Call your attention to some of the evidence on this. You remember, you may remember recording made, where she was questioned 3 x 3 detectives in a small room. That was described as about 6 x 8 room. I think that even they even put pictures into show you his tiny little room. Those detectives were yelling at her to three at a time like some TV show. Not even allowing her to answer berating arguing so you may also remembered that the initial part of it. Interestingly enough, there was a dispute among law enforcement officers. He had a sergeant who said she was not handcuffed. She was not arrested. And then the sergeant says, yes I did it. Put her in the cage evidence of the car. Consider that the prosecution retort asked about what she was free to go. Right? Okay, so the bottom line is when you consider these things consider these cons consider whether or not the law has been met. She voluntarily made those statements issue was not under pressure coercion or rats in a small room with three detectives and she made a statement -- that was false. Weldon find her guilty of it. But the law says if she was not freely and ends that you can disregard them statements are gone. So are all the counts. The initial charges made in the case of course our first degree murder, which requires the government to prove some things that are obvious. Are we arguing this child is not dead? Of course not. But you may wonder why did they do that if Caylee Marie Anthony is dead. Okay. Yes. The death was caused by the criminal act of Casey Marie Anthony. Now caused by her. Well, what act? What act? You will also hear and you will read in the instructions as charged in the indictment that this was done by a premed at Tate of killing. And/or alternatively you will are able to consider whether or not, there was a felony murder.. Underlying data and have fun reading the instructions on that. We are trying to be as clear as we can. The bottom line is Beyers to be reached.

The main thing is, what act? The judge will describe and take a tying, and you will get it. What does premeditation mean? You will also be given instructions on the offensive felony murder in the first degree. And that is once again that Caylee Marie Anthony is dead. And the death occurred as a consequence of and while Casey Marie Anthony was engaged in commission of aggravated child abuse. Now we been here, I measure the actual day of the trial the only thing that is clear is that it is Sunday afternoon. Where was how when and why is the evidence of aggregated child abuse? All of the witnesses that took the stand did not know anything about Casey Marie Anthony confirmed that she was a loving doting devoted mother. She was a young girl. She is only 22. My shoes are that old. The child was well fed, well nursed while taking care of Bright had no evidence of whatsoever of any prior trauma of any kind. Note working of joins. No twisting of bones, no close fractures. Nothing. Or the law says that the death occurred as a consequence of walk a searing Anthony was attempting to commit aggravated child abuse. In that Casey Marie Anthony a person that actually killed Caylee Marie Anthony. All the emotion and all the suspicion in the world does not prove it. Burdick of proof, no burden beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. You will get an instruction hoping to help you understand what is meant by aggravated child abuse.. One of the parts of that. It has been added to it is a definition of will fully not unintentional or not accidentally blocked will fully. Causing child abuse of Caylee. I may have not heard everything you may have noticed as we have on the tables a special computer where it is sent to me what has been said so and I can hear it in the acoustic year I am trying to read it. And I never heard nor read in this case, any evidence of child abuse of any kind. I am not going to throw the believer all of those instructions because you will have not read but I am not done. It is not that easy. The instruction is going to tell you that you may find a reasoable doubt.based on evidence or the lack of evidence.
Now Mr. Baez went through a list of things with you about what or is not evidence. And forgive me if I repeat some of those but I have made a list other issues.
but I had made a new list of issues that I thought were not proven in this case. And you have the absolute right of course you disagree with me or say yeah that is right in to think of some others on your own. Which I know you will. Saw gold to run through ongoing drug to quickly just to give you idea of who we are talking about, and the lack of evidence. This is a criminal case. Those charges, no fingerprints on the duct tape, anywhere, or the bags or on the bags or anything that were searched seized by warned on the home. Interestingly enough we learned at the infamous gas can with duct tape. No duct tape had been wiped clean. No prints. Toxicology tests Dr Goldberger part of the forensic team doing.top seed studies for Dr. Garivallias were seeking to find chemical evidence of chloroform and several other drugs or poisons. Zero. Found zero. Did talk about there being no DNA 2011. The case occurred in 2008. It is not new. The only profile of DNA evidence as you heard a little while ago excluded meaning that not the defendant. DNA evidence as you would have heard if you ever how much fun it was to listen to is trite to say that this DNA evidence matched you or not you individually, not you personally. It is a statistical probability. If there are these markers on these as they were shown to you, the more they are the higher the probability image general rule, I think a testify to if I am wrong with that forgive me, that when bear. Are those markers, then the probability that persons subject a gate at DNA not being the one does. means it is excluded. It cannot be. And the FBI confirmed that the profile they got from that tape excluded Casey Marine Anthony and the child. There was no evidence of decomposition found at a recovery seen. Do entomologists talked about, must have decompose somewhere else was not here. No bugs, whatever. No other evidence of it. Mr. Baez pointed out to you that there were no buzzer trunk only in the trash.matching is like one in 14 quadrille EN. That is 15 zeros. But if the DNA has won just one marker that the and the defendant is excluded.
Mason is rehashing a lot of what Baez mentioned earlier. Mason showing aMason: talks about Kronk using meter reader stick into Caylee's eye socket color coded chart ranging from not guilty to guilty.Mason:
