In that para you discuss the period of her pregnancy before Caylee was born.
Correct.
You felt your role was just to be in the background because "my parents just wanted to be over the top. They just wanted me to be there."
LA: In reference to them being over the top? I wasn't asked to be involved so all I could do was be in the background and they would take care of it.
What preparations of the house did they make?
They bought a crib ...
Didn't they redecorate for Caylee?
Yes.
Your mother doesn't do anything halfway, right? And that was in prep for Caylee's arrival, correct?
And your mother went nuts for the birth of her first grandchild, yes?
I never went in the room until after she (Caylee) was born, but I can imagine.
Did they have a party?
If they did, I wasn't invited.
Did they have a baby shower?
If they did, I wasn't invited.
But you know they had a party.
I wasn't invited.
It happened at the house, right?
I would imagine.
You saw presents, though, right?
I felt it was hidden from me, so I didn't go out of my way to invite myself. So hopefully that answers your question.
But your parents weren't hiding this fact from their friends and family right?
During the depo, when you discuss the leadup to the time the baby was born, do you remember that?
I don't remember.
Page 36--do you recall taht question and answer.
Did you cry during that portion of the depositon.
I don't recall if I did.
What was different about that question being asked of you today to cause such raw emotions?
Objection.
Asks question to LA again. Why such raw emotion?
Two years ago I did not know 100% that Caylee was dead. Now, I've come to a place where I know she is. And I now have regrets I was not closer.
You attended a memorial service two years ago.
You were asked about a stain the size of a basketball (in the trunk).
Yes I was.
Do you see a basketball size stain there?
I see a huge stain, nothing I'd compare to a basketball.
Do you see white powder at all.
I do and that's nothing as I'd refer to a white powder.
Point to me where you see a stain where there's a powder.
Lee refers to stains marked and un-marked.
Did you see your mother use an entire bottle of Febreeze in the car?
No.
