beth karas who is a former prosecutor and holly hughes who is also a former prosecutor. before we get to them, david mattingly reports on what happened in court today. >> casey anthony murder trial, the jury never got a chance to come into the courtroom. instead, the judge and the attorneys went into a closed door meeting, which is unusual because usually, they just go to a sidebar where they discuss whatever matters they need in front of everyone. this time they went behind closed doors with a court reporter to record the proceedings. what was said in there they would not reveal. but when the judge came out, he had this announcement for a very surprised courtroom. >> as both sides concur that a legal issue has arisen unrelated to the issue that we talked about, first thing this morning dealing with the doctor that would necessitate us recessing for today. >> what this legal issue might be no one is really sure because the judge did not elaborate, and none of the attorneys afterward would comment at all about this. but what we do know if it's something minor at the very least, it will push this trial further into the fourth of july weekend. the judge had hoped the jury

would begin deliberating a week from today. that obviously now will probably not happen. but if it's something major, if it's something that could affect the outcome of this trial, it could be an issue involving one of the jurors. one of the witnesses. some of the testimony we've heard in this case. possibly even one of the attorneys. but we just don't know. we may have to wait till monday for any sort of elaboration on possibly what the effects of this delay might truly be. david mattingly, cnn, orlando. >> david, thank you very much. our guests tonight have been doing their own digging on the possible reasons. today's court session was abruptly recessed until monday. first let's revisit the key moments that brought casey anthony before the court, accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter. >> june 9th, 2008, is the day that casey tells investigators is the last time she saw her daughter. here's her statement right here. monday, june 9th, 2008. between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.,

i, casey anthony, took my daughter caylee marie anthony to her nanny's apartment. june 15th, 2008. this is really where that 31-day period begins because caylee, and we've all seen these pictures with her great grandfather cindy's dad at the nursing home. it's cindy whose actually taking the pictures. investigators found these images on the anthony laptop. >> june 16th is a big, big day. there's a lot of things going on. first, that's the day at 12:50 p.m. when casey's dad, george says that he last sees little caylee. then investigators have a bunch of phone records from that day. and looking at these records, casey making a ton of calls

including eight calls to her mom, cindy. also, this is the day that casey anthony moves out of her parents' house. she leaves. then things get even more interesting. later in the night around later in the night around 7:54 p.m., at a blockbuster, there's a surveillance video. you can see her then boyfriend tony lazaro and casey anthony arm in arm walking into that blockbuster to rent a couple movies. but what's also noticeable about that picture, there's no caylee there. june 18th or 19th, this is when casey anthony's neighbor says that she came over knocked on the door to borrow a shovel. now, according to the neighbor, she needs the shovel to take care of some bamboo shoots or something in the backyard. it's also on these days and this is interesting because the neighbor said he never saw casey anthony really use the garage. yet, sometime during those days she uses the garage but doesn't pull into it straight. she backs her car into the

garage. and this is where casey anthony worked as a shot girl. this is where casey anthony's up on stage dancing with that other woman in those pictures. all that during that same time frame when her child's missing and she says she's looking for caylee. now to our panel of guests to talk about the case. "in session" correspondent and attorney jean casarez, and beth karas, a former prosecutor, and criminal defense attorney holly hughes who is also a former prosecutor. first to jean. i know you have been there, too, beth, as well. jean, what is the mood there now? we've had this abrupt halt in testimony. what's going on? >> a lot of speculation. i did speak with cheney mason tonight who is the attorney for casey anthony. and he is telling me that all of the speculation that the media is doing, that it is all wrong. that nobody has it right. so there is no plea deal as to what everyone is speculating to. he's very upset because he believes the speculation is made

from wild imagination, not based at all, in fact. and he is also saying that the most recent thing around town here is that there is a polygraph that has appeared suddenly that is laughable. he says. >> beth, you're down there, as well. what are you hearing from the folks you're talking to? >> well, apparently it's not any fault of the defense attorneys what is going on right now. they know that at least at this point, the judge is not upset with the defense. he's been upset with the defense many times during this trial. he is not upset right now. i understand we may never know what it is that caused this delay. the record is sealed and it is unclear that we'll ever know. >> okay. thank you, beth and jean. holly, this is strange. i know you were waiting to go on television this morning. i was watching the shows and all of a sudden, everybody's sitting around talking with no testimony. no trial. what do you make of this?

this isn't something small to have this trial halted. >> right. this is so odd, don. but once again, just when you think this trial can't get any weirder, and it is like "alice in wonderland." what did she say to the white rabbit, curiouser and curiouser. we have no idea. jean and beth nailed it. we don't know. it's been sealed. if they sealed it, yes, it's a big deal. anytime something has arisen, judge perry has managed to say you know what? we'll take care of it at the end of the day. we're still going to go forward with testimony. we're still going forward with testimony. whatever this was, was significant enough for him to say we have to come to a screeching halt. >> you're watching the judge, you're a former prosecutor. in his actions, if you're reading is body language and what he was doing today and saying, what do you see in that? >> i saw him angry. he got off the bench and he did something he doesn't usually do, don. of course, we're watching.

beth and jean are in the courtroom. i'm watching on tv. but what i saw him do, was he strode through that courtroom and he was pumping his arms and he was moving like a man on a mission like he was mad about something. he had a purpose. and you know, beth is reporting he's not mad at the defense attorney, which is a little unusual because we've seen a lot of that going on this time. but i saw him just kind of moving with a purpose and very quickly out of that courtroom. and he just looked like he was angry. it's probably because he doesn't want to lose the day. he has to but he doesn't want to. he's done a great job of moving forward. >> its still much, much more to go. jean, my next question is for you. again, as we are watching this and paying attention and tower -- you're talking to folks there, and i know that you run into players every once in a while, did you happen to run into anyone at the court today who talked to you about what is going on behind the scenes? i know it is sealed, but every

once in a while, you talk to folks that may have given you information? >> the only other thing that is on the record from cheney mason is that he believes this issue, he hopes this issue will be solved very quickly. and does believe the trial will continue monday morning. so that's what we have at this point. but it is sealed. this shows the judge does not want it public at this point. and so i think we're going to have to wait together and see it unfold. i do want to tell you that when attorneys left court today, the cameras, the microphones were right there in their face. and there was a little bit of an issue because the attorneys lost their files. their notebooks got opened, one of the paralegals lost her shoe. and the defense attorneys are saying look, you know, we're just trying to get back to our office. >> wait. what happened? was there a ruckus? what went on? >> the cameras and the camera did not show this because we do have video of the attorneys leaving the courthouse. the defense attorneys. but the cameras and the mics as they kept following the defense

lawyers were in the face and in the way of their walking that cheney mason told me he almost lost his glasses, his files fell to the ground. his briefcase opened up and his paralegal lost her shoe. and the attorneys are saying, we just can't do this anymore. we are fighting for someone's life. and we don't need to be concerned about about our physical injuries. we're trying to get out of court back to our office. >> it has become a circus. usually you see the people fighting to get seats in court. this sort of behavior. thank you, beth, jean and holly. stand by. we'll talk about the testimony that did happen in court. coming up, the defense begins to make its case. almost immediately the tone in the courtroom takes a dramatic turn. is the prosecution's case in trouble? our legal team tackles that after the break. also ahead, it is the second anniversary of michael jackson's death. his father, joe jackson, shares his thoughts about his famous son in an interview you don't want to miss.

"in session" correspondent and guest jean casarez, and "in session o session" correspondent and former prosecutor beth karas, and holly hughes, former prosecutor, and i have to be

quite honest with you, what side is she on? there is a nickname for her. >> they are calling her spin-dy instead of cindy. >> you think it is spin? >> i think that this is her trying to save her daughter's life. >> what is she spinning? >> she is taking credit for the chloroform searches, and it was not her, and what is going to happen is that on rebuttal, they will say, two seconds before the search for chloroform, photobucket was up, and she doesn't know about that, because those were casey's accounts. and before the chloroform searches, it was casey's facebook page is in there, and so it is impossible for cindy to get in there and type something and slide out and casey slide in and type something up. they will get caught in it.

>> beth, i have to ask, before cindy anthony was on the stand crying very believable. now that it is the defense's turn, is she a believable, credible witness now as you're watching people in the courtroom? >> i've always believed that cindy and the rest of the family are not going to help the prosecution any more than they did in the beginning. cindy was crying when the 911 tapes were being played. she didn't know when she was making those calls that her daughter was going to face murder charges. those were helpful calls. and some of the early statements to the police, early on in the investigation when they consent to everything being searched and the police didn't have to get search warrants, they didn't know where this was going. so that stuff is in the case. they're a part of it, and it's helpful to the prosecution and now they're going to step back and do whatever they can to save casey because they've already done enough. they're not at fault for doing what they did for sure.

it was necessary. but right now, the only people in that courtroom speaking for little caylee are the three prosecutors at their table. >> okay. so this was a big week, beth, when it came to the brother and the mother. this is the brother and the mother's week. did they help their sister or daughter's case at all? >> yes. lee the point was to show, because he wasn't let in on the big secret, which was a big secret in plain sight. casey's pregnancy. he wasn't made a part of that. it shows, according to the defense, the dysfunction in this family, a family with deep dark secrets. that's the beginning of establishing what jose baze said he would show when he gave his opening statement on may 24th. and cindy, by talking about how much caylee loved to swim and those photos of her climbing up that ladder. >> yeah, showing she had access to the pool. >> yes, at the beginning. >> the same question. i'm up against a break here. did they help, jean? >> you know, we don't have evidence of accident yet in this

trial. but if a juror wants to hang their hat on those photographs of little caylee almost getting into that pool by herself and lee testifying about a secret within that home that we may never know about, then i think that could help casey with the jury to not be convicted to first-degree murder. >> okay. same question to you. i got to go. but did it help. >> it will only help if it stands. i think the prosecution is going to bring people in on rebuttal and show that these are lies in which case, the jury's going to hold it against casey because the whole family is going to turn out to be liars. >> what did beth say, the only two people speaking for little caylee are the two prosecutors. >> the three, yeah. >> when we come right back, jane velez-mitchell gives us personal moments viewers have not seen behind the scenes of the casey anthony trial. don't go anywhere. then have salad and biscuits followed by 1 of 7 delicious entrees and finish with something sweet

i spoke with the host of "issues" on hln in orlando for the trial. and she dishes on what's happening outside the courtroom away from the cameras. >> i know you've had a chance to be in the courtroom, to be around all these people. what many people are calling a circus. if you can give us a personal moment, something you found interesting yourself that the viewer hasn't seen, i would really appreciate it and i'm sure the viewers would, as well. >> yes, i have a couple. after cindy's emotional testimony on one day, i rode down with the prosecutor, jeff ashton. i asked him for reaction. it was him and me in the elevator. he said they're torn he smiled ruefully. which i took to mean they don't want their daughter to be put to death. now, after lee's emotional testimony, i got in the elevator again. and guess who i'm in the elevator with, lee cindy and george and their attorney. and yes. cindy and lee are talking in a very animated fashion to each other which says that they are working together, if you know what i mean. and george is turned his face to the wall. i'm not talking about the door of the elevators, but i'm talk tact wall of theel va or the ee

wall. reading his bible. i think george is really suffering the most. i have total compassion for him. >> i have never heard a moment like that. can you imagine what this family is going through. you said they're working together. but the dad, you say, is the one who is probably -- this is tougher on him than anyone. >> well, i always say that murder cases make for strange bedfellows. jose baze has accused this family of all sorts of things, especially george and lee by extension of molesting casey. and yet, outside court, you'll see cindy and jose baze chatting amicably with each other, so obviously, they would have aligned it would seem to me of the person who has accused them all of these things, but it is the same person who is trying to save their daughter's life. it is a very, very odd situation, and really, really bizarre and fascinating. >> absolutely right. i've never heard anything like

the exchange you said in the elevator. that is great information. i'm sure everyone is fascinated by this case. jane velez-mitchell covering this casey anthony trial. we appreciate every night on hln at 7:00 p.m. make sure you watch "issues." >> thanks, don. when we come back, the day's other top stories, including this. history being made with new york being the largest state to legalize same-sex marriage. we could've gone a more traditional route... ... but it wouldn't have been nearly as memorable. ♪ [ male announcer ] what's so special about web browsing on the new blackberry playbook? ♪ flash! ah-ahh!
