Video Stories RAW: Tim Dorsey interview http://www.cfnews13.com/video?clip=..._center/Dorsey-Interview-0702.flv&vtitle=RAW:

Dorsey said watching the trial has been an eye-opening experience.

"The prosecution has done an excellent job, especially on cross,” Dorsey said. “The defense, I've heard a lot of criticism. But they were handed a difficult case, and with opening arguments, they went right ahead that she knew. Now they have to overcome the burden. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. They're doing the best that they can at this point."

Work Records Contradict Cindy Anthony's Search Testimony
Anthony, 25, Could Face Death Penalty If Found Guilty

UPDATED: 6:57 pm EDT July 1, 2011

Both sets of attorneys asked for a day off to prepare closing arguments, which will begin at 8:30 a.m. Sunday.

Judge Belvin Perry issued a court order Friday afternoon detailing the rules for closing arguments. http://www.clickorlando.com/download/2011/0701/28422020.pdf

Closing arguments are expected to last all day. Deliberations could begin Sunday evening.

Earlier this week, Cindy Anthony testified that she had performed searches for the word "chloroform" from the Anthony family computer in March 2008, even though records indicated she was at work. She said her records did not indicate that as a salary employee, she would sometimes leave early to avoid overtime.

Camperlengo testified that Gentiva keeps detailed email records for employees and that each employee has a unique network ID .


Camperlengo presented records for Cindy Anthony's log-in times on March 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, 2008.

The records indicate Cindy was at work, at the same time the search for "chloroform" took place on the computer at the family's home in east Orange County on March 17.

The records showed Cindy Anthony logged in to her work desktop computer the mornings of March 17 and 21 and logged out each day after 5 p.m.

The searches for chloroform on the Anthony family computer took place from 1:43 through 1:55 p.m. on March 17, 2008, and from 2:16 p.m. through 2:28 p.m. on March 21.


The records indicated that there was activity on Cindy Anthony's computer the afternoons of March 17 and 21.

Cindy Anthony vigorously shook her head in the courtroom during Camperlengo's testimony.

The state argues that Casey Anthony used chloroform on Caylee Anthony, and that action shows premeditation in Caylee's death.


The state then called Cindy Anthony's supervisor at Gentiva, Deborah Polisano.

Polisano said Cindy Anthony would be unable to access her work account from home.


Goldberger said he came to Orlando to take samples from Caylee’s remains, including strands of hair and hair mat from the toddler’s skull December 2008.

Dr. Michael Warren, said there is no protocol or best practice in his field requiring a medical examiner to saw open a skull in a skeletal case.

“In the field of forensic anthropology, when we’re presented with a human skull, there’s no reason to open that skull,” Warren said.

Warren said sawing open a skull is unnecessarily invasive and there are other ways to examine the interior of the skull.


OCSO computer forensics examiner Kevin Stenger testified that there was no search for “chlorophyll” on the days that searches for “chloroform” were made.

Cindy Anthony said her search for chloroform stemmed from a search for “chlorophyll” .

Stenger also confirmed that there was a specific Google search for "neck breaking." Cindy Anthony said the record of neck breaking could have come up due to a pop-up ad of a skateboarding video she remembers seeing.

Sandra Osborne said, she only found one reference to chlorophyll, and it was in a dictionary file.

Lead Detective Yuri Melich was called and was presented with the home phone records for the Anthony family that he previously testified to, as well as Cindy and George Anthony's cellphone records from June and July 2008.

Court will resume Sunday morning for closing arguments.

Perry instructed the jurors they they would return to the courthouse Sunday morning to receive instructions and hear closing arguments.

Defense attorney Cheney Mason brought up the defense's multiple motions for mistrial. Perry quickly denied any motion for mistrial.


Perry also quickly denied Mason's motion for acquittal and recessed court until Sunday morning.

Baez said the state had failed to disclose all the information to which a computer expert and forensic anthropologist planned to testify. The witnesses were on the prosecution's list.


"These folks are ready to return to their homes," said Perry, referring to the jury, which was not seated during the aforementioned arguments.

On Thursday, the defense rested without calling Casey Anthony to testify.

Casey Anthony: Won’t you please stop saying that, Nancy Grace?


Caylee and Casey Anthony, HLN, Nancy Grace — "SNIP" posted by halboedeker on July, 2 2011 10:57 AM

On her show, Grace stuck to her I’d-lie stance: ”Then I guess I’m going straight to hell because I would do it. I know I would do it.”

Grace cited her twins, again, as a reason she would lie. But Horowitz, to his great credit, set her straight.

“All you’re saying is that you care so much — you would die for your children,” Horowitz said. “But lying for them is not going to benefit them. You tell the truth and hope that people on the jury have mercy on your child’s life. You don’t lie to them. You would not lie. You just feel strongly that you would defend your children. There’s a difference.”

I hope Grace will take that idea to heart — and refrain from that I’d-lie-for-my-children speech, which some Grace fans might take seriously. It’s the wrong message to send. Just look at what happened to Cindy Anthony.

What will happen Sunday in the Casey Anthony trial?
What happens after Casey Anthony's defense team wraps up?

"snip" By David Fussell, Legal Expert
Last Updated: Saturday, July 02, 2011 1:47 PM



Closing argumentsAfter the jury instructions are read to the jury, one attorney for each side will be allowed to stand up and make a closing argument. Lawyer’s refer to the order of the argument as the state having the “sandwich” because the state gets to wrap its arguments around the defense’s argument.

Jury instructionsAfter both parties finish their closing argument the judge will read the jury instructions agreed upon at the charging conference to the jury. Each juror will also be given a copy of the instructions.


Jury retiresOnce the jury is instructed on the law, the judge allows the permanent jurors to go back to the jury room. All alternate jurors will either be dismissed or the judge will keep them separate from the 12 permanent jurors while the permanent jurors deliberate.
The jurors do not know which jurors are alternates until the judge separates them as the permanent jurors retire to deliberate.


The first job of the jury is to select a foreman. The Foreman is similar to a chairman of a committee, her or his vote does not count anymore than any other juror. The foreman is in charge of organizing and chairing the deliberations. The jury remains in the jury room deciding the case, until one of two things happen as to all charges. All 12 jurors reach a verdict on each count, or they determine they cannot reach a verdict on each count, after deliberating and trying their best. A verdict can be either guilty or not guilty.

The jury is not responsible for determining whether Ms. Anthony is guilty. The jury may reach a verdict on some counts or charges and not reach a verdict on others. On any count the jury cannot reach a unanimous verdict, the jury is said to be “hung” on that count and a mistrial will be granted as to that county.

SentencingA. If Ms. Anthony Is Found Guilty of First Degree Murder: There will be an additional phase of presentation of evidence.

During the penalty phase the state will present evidence and argument on what is referred to as “aggravators.” Aggravators are reasons which Florida law allows a jury to determine that the facts of the case are so bad that Ms. Anthony should receive the death penalty. The death penalty in Florida is not to be imposed in all First Degree Murders. Instead it is only to be imposed in the worst of the worst First Degree Murders. The aggravators only include the reasons included in the Florida Death Penalty Statute.

During the penalty phase the defense will present evidence and argument on what is referred to as “mitigators.”

After the evidence is presented in the penalty phase each side will have the chance to argue whether the death penalty should be imposed. After the argument the jury retires to the jury room again, and decides whether they will recommend to the judge that Ms. Anthony be sentenced to death. Again the jury does not have to agree and the penalty phase verdict is reported out by how many voted for death and how many voted against. If more than six vote for death there will be a sentencing hearing at a later date at which both sides can again to the judge alone whether he should impose the death penalty. While the judge has to consider the jury’s recommendation on the sentence, the judge is the one who decides to impose death.

B. Ms. Anthony is found not guilty of First Degree Murder:

Exclusive: Casey Anthony's Aunt Pam Plesea Speaks - A new book being written about the alleged murder of the infamous Florida tot
"Snip" Posted by Tommy Garrett on Jul 2, 2011

NOTE**More on Pam Plesea’s exclusive interview and Kathleen McKenna’s coming soon.

Pam Plesea the ex-wife of Cynthia Anthony’s brother Rick. Though estranged from her ex-husband and ex-sister-in-law, spoke with me after refusing to sell her story to Globe and National Enquirer magazines.


Pam said, Rick has disowned their son, and she has been talking in secret to Rick and Cindy’s mom Shirley (Plesea) all of these years.



Pam said, the night Caylee went missing on June 15, 2008. It’s not what Cindy and George have sworn under oath to in court either”.

Cindy’s testimony, which shocked court watchers last week when she took credit for the searches on the Anthony family computer did not shock Pam.

Prosecutors would not comment if they planned on filing perjury charges against Cynthia Anthony relating to her testimony, which was impeached by two witnesses on the stand on Friday.


“None of this surprised me,” said Pam Plesea. “When my son was 4 years old and we threw him a birthday party, Casey was just days or weeks old. Cindy showed up at my home and put Casey up in my face and said, 'What a shame you will never know how it feels to have your own child.' I was mortified. My son was adopted, but he is my child and she then said, 'Oh, I meant that you never will have a girl, and it’s the best thing for a mother.

Shirley Plesea lives with the grief that if she had only called the police when Casey stole, that Caylee might still be alive today,” said Pam.

“She told me that Cindy and George are not being totally honest about that night. Lee was there, Cindy confronted Casey on June 15 and they ended up in an altercation and Cindy choked Casey, Lee pulled them apart, and Cindy called Shirley to tell her that Casey would never steal again and that she had choked her. Then Cindy called her mother Shirley the next morning and told her that Casey had taken Caylee and the car before anyone woke up and was gone. That’s still very horrifying to Shirley. She’s very aged now and the little girl’s death weighs heavily on her mind.”
A new book being written about the alleged murder of the infamous Florida tot Caylee Anthony. Authors Kathleen McKenna and Marti Rulli are working on a fictional book, and they are also seeking to complete a screenplay about the story after the novel is completed.

Book being written: “The book opens with a minute-by-minute description of Caylee’s murder - I meant of Crysty’s murder. It’s all fiction, after all and they will answer any lingering questions the reader might have.

Cindy Anthony is her daughter’s mother and lies about ludicrous things, easily provable things. For example, her own activities on the penultimate day which led to Caylee’s murder on June 15, 2008.

"A 47-year-old Massachusetts woman claims that her son, Michael Duggan, is the father of Caylee Anthony, the murder victim in the Casey Anthony trial.

Casey Anthony, who is facing first-degree murder charges in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, has never revealed the name of the toddler's father.

Donna MacLean recently told investigative reporter Diane Diamond on The Daily Beast website that she is "100 percent certain" she is the biological grandmother of Caylee and her late son Michael is the father.

Michael Patrick Duggan died in 2007 in a one-car accident in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Before he died, MacLean said that he told her that he had a daughter with a woman named Casey in Florida.

"I asked him about the circumstances… who is the family? He said the parents were George and Cindy Anthony. I asked who she was and he said her name is Casey. He told me her dad was a cop and I said, ‘Oh, Mike! Does she want child support?'" MacLean recalled.

Duggan was working for a moving company in Tennessee at the time that Caylee was conceived, according to MacLean. He would often visit Orlando to visit friends."

Casey Anthony murder trial closings set for today

Last Updated: Sunday, July 03, 2011 6:05 AM

ORLANDO -- Jurors may not be seeing any Fourth of July fireworks on what's going to be a working holiday weekend.

After having yesterday off, they'll be back in a Florida courtroom to hear closing arguments, get instructions from the judge and begin deliberations. The judge has said he expects to have them working July 4 too, trying to decide whether Casey Anthony is guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter in 2008.

Why did Central Florida News 13 tell a court spokeswoman about a gesturing spectator at Casey Anthony’s trial Thursday?

“Our viewers first brought it to our attention,” said Robin Smythe, the channel’s general manager. “It was offensive to them. We took a look at it. If we were going to provide live coverage, it’s obscene behavior. Our viewers did not like this. We got a lot of calls.”

So News 13 alerted the court. “We have a responsibility,” Smythe said. “It was not an effort to be a tattletale.

Casey Anthony trial: Prosecution, defense get last chance to make their case
Closing arguments expected today

José Baez overpromised in his opening statement to prove Casey's innocence, will that be a problem today for the defense?

"Snip"
Watch Live, Orlando Sentinel: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/videobeta/?watchLive=orl-tivid-casey-anthony-live


By Anthony Colarossi and Amy Pavuk, Orlando Sentinel (pg1-2)
8:46 p.m. EDT, July 2, 2011

When jurors hear closing arguments in the Casey Anthony murder trial, they will be reminded that the attorneys' presentations are not evidence - and not the facts the panel must rely upon to render its verdict.


Many legal experts and followers of this case say Baez will have a difficult time today reconciling what he claimed from the start.

The biggest unfulfilled promises in most experts' minds include the claims that Casey Anthony suffered sexual abuse by her father, George; that her daughter, Caylee, died in an accidental drowning; and that her father knew about the drowning and helped dispose of the body.

For the prosecution, the experts expect to see State Attorney Linda Burdick give a another clinical presentation that focuses more on Casey. It will be designed to help the jurors piece together the vast circumstantial evidence in the case.

They may play the dramatic 911 calls from July 15, 2008, when Cindy Anthony discovered Caylee had been missing for 31 days and thought she had been abducted.

Casey Anthony trial: Top questions and answers on jury deliberationsChicago Tribune
"Snip" By Amy Pavuk, Orlando Sentinel

Today, the 17 jurors who have spent more than a month listening to witnesses and viewing evidence in Casey Anthony's first-degree-murder trial will hear closing arguments from the prosecution and defense.


Once the jury is given instructions the alternates return to their hotel. 12 go to the jury-deliberation room.

Will the alternates immediately be taken back to Pinellas County?
No, they will remain in Central Florida. If Anthony is convicted of first-degree murder, they return to the courtroom for the penalty phase even though they didn't deliberate in the first phase.

The jurors will select a foreperson once they begin deliberations.


Perry has indicated jurors will deliberate until the dinner hour. He anticipates 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., but that is subject to change.


If Anthony is found guilty of first-degree murder, there will be an approximate 48-hour break.



If Anthony is found guilty of a lesser charge than first-degree murder, it will be after the verdict is read. If they find her guilty of first-degree murder, they must stay on for the penalty phase of the trial, which would start about 48 hours after the verdict is read.

12:10 p.m. EDT, July 3, 2011


Defense Attorney Jose Baez began the argument of his life this morning – the final argument that he hopes will save his client Casey Anthony's life.

Before the jurors left on the break, Baez raised questions about people who did not smell the stench of death in Casey's car.
He also threw back blame at George Anthony, again suggesting he knew something about Caylees death.

He hinted that he will attack the states evidence concerning the computer cloroform searches when he resumes his closing after lunch.

Emotional Day: Tears, Anger, Laughter In Casey Murder Trial

"Snip" J.C. Carnahan
Updated: 10:01 pm EDT July 3, 2011

Casey cried throughout the day and prosecutor Jeff Ashton bellowed an objection after visibly angered Jose Baez referred to him as a "laughing guy."

Prosecutors portrayed Casey as a young mother who killed her daughter because she got in the way of her love life.

"Something needed to be sacrificed, that something was either the life she wanted or the life thrust upon her. She chose to sacrifice her child," prosecutor Jeff Ashton said during his 90-minute argument.

Defense attorney Jose Baez said the prosecutors' case was so weak they tried to portray Casey as "a lying, no-good *advertiser censored*" and that their forensic evidence was based on a "fantasy." He said Caylee's death was "an accident that snowballed out of control." Baez said during his 4 hour argument.
