2011.05.27 TRIAL Day Four (Afternoon Session)

[3doglady]

What is the big deal that George brought gas cans to the tow yard? We know and even George has already testified to the fact that Casey was always running out of gas (and stealing gas from him). So if her car was towed, it's not a giant leap to think maybe she ran out of gas somewhere and that's why her car was towed, hence their aggravation with her.

I think JB is going to try and say GA knew the car was out of gas because he left it that way not KC.

 

[leesap]

Oh good grief! Would you allow someone to drive a car away with evidence of homicide?

No sir.

Can't believe JB would mention homicide.

 

[Linda7NJ]

Of course the media coverage was a big deal at that time....there was a MISSING 2 YR OLD CHILD!!!

and it was claimed she was kidnapped by the babysiter

 

[ami]

Ahhh. SB is somehow in collusion with the sherrif's department to keep getting cars towed to his lot.

 

[tehcloser]

Ya know........I gotta say, he should have put 2+2 together and called LE.

 

[sleutherontheside]

So now JB infers that because SB had a LE contract...he was crooked.

 

[shellsbells]

I've got this feeling that JB is trying to imply that Mr Birch was in cahoots with the OCSD to frame ICA. ETA SB called the cops the next day! I didn't know that.

 

[RichyD]

I agree Simon is a very good witness. Direct and to the point, regardless of who is questioning.

 

[Macushla]

Oh please tell me he is not going where I think he is going with the wrecker company and the OCSO

So Why did he report his gas cans stolen ,and as the SA pointed out they are involved in the death of Caylee.

 

[GracieLu]

oh wow, all the insinuations in this case... now SB was working with LE? all the lives this will destroy... makes me sad!

 

[ohiogirl]

Actually, I don't see how it makes any difference what this guy did. Unless they want to say that he put a body in the trunk, it really doesn't matter, imo.

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

Wow - he's got all the spaghetti out of the pot - now sliming on being a contractor for Orange County

 

[Amster]

Look at her! So arrogant when JB brings in his big conspiracy carp!

 

[Disguiseduser0308]

That's because they were busy chasing the ghosts KC gave them.

Yes, they were, weren't they?

 

[jon_burrows]

Casey just sneezed, God must be sending her a message.

IMO

 

[UESwifey]

IMO Birch is doing a stellar job!

 

[Turnadot]

I knew they were going to blame him for not calling LE

Yeah, but it doesn't matter now. LDB was able to neutralise that. Mr Birch suggested to GA to pop the trunk. It can be inferred that Mr Birch wanted to know if there was a body back there, and then he would've had a tangible reason to call LE.

And if I'm inferring that, some of the jurors are too.

Baez's cross is a fail, IMO.

 

[Chiquita71]

JB: so in fact what happened first: he gets in you then open the trunk, discuss it throw out the trash and then start the car.

?

JB: your depo was taken in 2008 and that would account for you not being able to remember.

yes

JB: you have testified to smelling human decomp?

yes

JB: you are the perfect person to tell the difference between human decomp and garbage?

not perfect but I have smelled both, I have towed hundreds of cars in my years.

JB: mr anthony had the gas cans? he didn't have to leave?

yes

JB: it is an old gas can, it is not very ususal?

no, we had ones that people could get their own gas.

JB: how long was the trunk open when mr anthony went to get the gas?

while he was gone

JB: how long in total were you with him?

a few minutes a straightforward process

JB: you have experience smelling trash and bodies in cars?

yes

JB: you would never obstruct justice

no

JB: you would not let someone drive a car away if it had evidence of homicide?

no

JB: many times you have evidence you tow there?

yes

JB: in fact this car was evidence in this case and you towed it from the anthony home?

yes

JB: and between the time this man tells you he has a missing granddaughter you never tell the police?

no

JB: you don't even tell them after he left?

no

JB: the car was picked up by your company

it was not taken back to my facility.

JB: you noticed a piece of evidence...

I did not contact the police because it was not a case that pertained to me. they said hey that car we towed is being taken to forensics, I said okay.

JB: you couldn't avoid this story?

no

JB: it was on the news that this car was towed to forensic?

I did not see that.

JB: you didn't witness that the car was being processed on tv?

from that day and then on I saw what everyone else saw on tv when it was first broadcast.

JB: however police didn't take a statement until july 24th. If I show it to you? May I judge.

HHJP: you may

JB: and your statement was given nine days after you had this experience. eight days of media coverage?

yes

JB: the entire country knowing about a missing child. you knew there was a missing child?

yes

JB: you knew it was being broatcasted the smell and it was a significant issue in this case?

yes

JB: and your business is big with OCSO?

yes

JB: you had the contract with OCSO?

(does everybody GET that? wink wink nudge nudge...love Jose )

JB: a form you fill out every four days, insert names?

yes

JB: you would never put down how long a car was at a property?

he mentioned it. I did not react.

 

[HRCODEPINK]

Not only did he (GA) have the gas cans with him.....He had the OLD one with him...What happened to the two new ones that he went out and bought?:waitasec:

Why would he bring the new ones? He has been using that old one for 20 years. It's almost a part of him.

In fact, this gives an excellent reason for why he brought the gas cans with him. Wouldn't want to leave a part of himself at home. Especially after thinking that it had been stolen and he had almost lost a part of himself. I have a gas can in my trunk BTW. Just in case.
