Watch Live on WESH.COM

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony's defense team has asked Judge Belvin Perry to allow an additional name on their list of witnesses.

Perry is expected to decide whether to let the defense call a man convicted of kidnapping, who Anthony's attorneys claim received a call from George Anthony ahead of Caylee's disappearance.


Thompson will be deposed to determine whether he is connected to the murder case.

George Anthony's attorney said it's unlikely Vasco will take the stand.

Day 31: Casey Anthony's Defense To Call First Witness

WFTV’s legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said the defense will have its work cut out. The defense has made a lot of promises to jurors and now attorneys will have to back it up with witness testimony.

 

[MADJGNLAW]

Day 31: Casey Anthony's Defense To Call First Witness
Three years ago Caylee Anthony was seen alive for the last time, and on Thursday defense lawyers will start trying to prove her mother, Casey Anthony, didn't murder her.
"Snip" Updated: 6:34 am EDT June 16, 2011


Sheaffer said he doesn't think Casey will testify, but said her attorneys could call her father, George Anthony, as their own witness and may focus on his suicide attempt along with questions about whether he sexually abused Casey.

“Beat him over the head with their questioning, try to raise in the jurors' mind that there's a reasonable doubt that he in fact abused Casey,” said Sheaffer.

The defense is expected to call witnesses for at least two weeks.

Casey Anthony's defense team will begin to present its case today at 9 a.m. About three dozen people stood outside the Courthouse before 5 a.m. with the hope that they might be able to watch the trial.

It's unknown who the defense will call as its first witnesses or if Anthony will take the stand.


The defense has made several motions for mistrial, and also requested that Perry acquit Casey Anthony. All have been denied by Chief Judge Belvin Perry.

3 years since Caylee was last seen alive
Defense to call 1st witness in Casey Anthony trial

"Snip" Thursday, June 16, 2011

LIVE daily chat & updates from the courtroom http://www.cfnews13.com/casey-chat

The last photo showing Caylee Marie Anthony alive and well was taken on June 15, 2008. It was Father's Day, and her grandmother, Cindy Anthony, took Caylee to Mount Dora to visit Cindy's father.

Casey's parents said Casey disappeared with Caylee after that date. They recovered Casey's car from a towing company and said it smelled like a dead body. When they found Casey after she'd been missing a month, she told them a nanny kidnapped Caylee.

Detectives said Casey told them multiple lies about her daughter's whereabouts. Investigators said Caylee had been suffocated by duct tape wrapped around her head.

Casey's attorneys contend Caylee accidentally drowned, and that George Anthony, helped her dump the body. He denied that on the first day of testimony. http://www.cfnews13.com/article/news/2011/may/250528/

Day 20: Casey Anthony's defense calls 1st witness, unveils new evidence
"Snip" By Jacqueline Fell, Adam Longo and Kelli Cook, Team Coverage
Last Updated: Thursday, June 16, 2011

Casey's lawyers filed new pictures, video and a "newly discovered" surprise witness.

Cindy Anthony allegedly sold the same photos to the TV program "48 Hours."

The videos are said to show the bedrooms of Caylee and Casey Anthony, taken by private investigator J. Lyons.

Day 20 witnesses

Gerardo Bloise
Bloise said he looked in the trunk of Lazzaro's car on July 23, 2008, to check for blood. He found none.

He then went to the Anthonys' home to collect clothes from Caylee and Casey's bedrooms, he did not check master bedroom.



Heather SeubertA chief agent at the FBI's lab in Quantico, Virginia, Seubert said she worked in the lab's DNA unit in 2008. She is an expert in serology, the study of bodily fluids, including blood.

Seubert said she tested the spare tire cover and part of the lining from the trunk of Casey's Pontiac Sunfire for blood. Both tests came out negative, and no DNA profile could be generated.

Seubert said, no bodily fluids detected on clothing found near Caylee's remains, and admitted that being out in the elements for an extended period of time would potentially destroy some DNA evidence.

Tensions Rise As Casey Defense Begins Case
"Snip" POSTED: 12:52 pm EDT June 16, 2011


Baez asked Seubert whether she conducted a DNA paternity test on Lee Anthony to see whether he was Caylee's father, prosecutor Jeff Ashton objected. Outside the presence of the jury and after another heated exchange, Perry instructed Baez not to ask questions that may lead to inferences.

"I don't have a hearing problem," the judge told Ashton and Baez after voices were raised. "And the amplification of questions, objections, I don't need them."


The defense has said Caylee was not killed but rather drowned in the family pool June 16.

Baez told the jury George Anthony, panicked when they discovered the body of Caylee and covered up her death. George Anthony rejected that scenario in his testimony the first week of the trial.

Following Bloise to the stand in the Orlando courtroom Thursday was Heather Seubert of the FBI, who was a forensic DNA examiner for the agency in 2008.

Mistake, Objections Spark Fireworks In Casey Trial

Court will resume on Friday at 9:00am.

Updated: 5:39 pm EDT June 16, 2011

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The courtroom atmosphere became heated on Thursday as Anthony's defense questioned its second witness. Objections, a defense mistake, and the judge's frustration, created fireworks inside the Orange County courtroom.

The trial became heated when the defense questioned Seubert about a shovel that Casey borrowed from a neighbor.

"It's meaningless, it's not relevant," said prosecutor Jeff Ashton.

"Then why is the shovel in evidence?" defense attorney Jose Baez asked.

"It's not relevant because…" Ashton attempted to say.

"Mr. Ashton, Mr. Ashton, calm down. Sit down for a second," said Judge Belvin Perry.

Then, Baez mistakenly asked the witness about a blanket, which was not entered into evidence.

"My apologies, the blanket that was just described is not in evidence. I move to strike," said Baez.

Judge Perry instructed the jury to disregard that part of the testimony.

WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer says those kinds of mistakes hurt the defense's case.

Padilla and the crew were shooting footage for a two-hour special edition of “Justice with Judge Jeanine.” And, yes, that footage will be in the program at 9 p.m. Saturday, a Fox News spokeswoman said.
WOFL’s Shannon Butler revealed that Padilla was with the Fox News crew. “George Anthony just didn’t like the situation that was going on,” Butler said.
