5:02 pm
nadal in today's men's final. djokovic came into the tournament as the second seed. he has lost just one match all yearlong. and now to orlando, florida, where attorneys in the murder trial of casey anthony have been summing up their cases all day. our david mattingly is at the courthouse in orlando. these closing arguments are not without a bit more drama, david. >> that's right, fredricka. things got a little heated and everything ground to a sudden halt when during the closing arguments by jose baez, the defense attorney, he was talking about how the duct tape belonged to casey anthony's father. and while he was trying to make a point about that, he looked over and saw prosecutor jeff ashton sitting there apparently smiling. and this is what happened. watch. >> we're not talking about fantasy forensics anymore. we're talking about cold hard
5:03 pm
evidence, evidence that points to one person and one person only. he can get up here and lie all he wants and dance around the truth. but the truth is the truth, and depending on who is asking the questions, whether it's this laughing guy right here or whether it's myself -- >> objection. >> approach the bench. >> and there it is. that was the end of what they were going through at the moment. they went into a recess. the judge came back and said look, i have rules here. i know you know what they are. why won't you follow them? he seemed rather exasperated about it, and warned if anything like that happened again, that whoever was smirking or whoever had an outburst in court was going to be ejected from the courtroom, expelled from these further proceedings. well, earlier today, things were a lot calmer. the prosecution was on the floor talking to the jury. they were looking at all the pieces of evidence that they have in this circumstantial case, trying to craft a
5:04 pm
compelling story together about what they believed happened. and they say it came down to this. that casey anthony was a young mother who longed for a different life. and sh sacrificed her young daughter to get that life. and here is prosecutor jeff ashton talking about just that. >> as hard as it is for anyone to imagine she had to choose between two -- sacrificing two things. the first was her dreams and the life she wanted. and second was her child. and we submit to you the evidence in this case shows that the choice she made was her child. >> now fredricka, we are back on track now. jose baez, the defense attorney is back in front of the jury, continuing to knock down a lot
5:05 pm
of the assertions by the prosecution, everything from duct tape to chloroform to computer records. he is hitting everything he possibly can to instill that feeling of reasonable doubt within this jury. fredricka? >> so david, the expectation this court would remain in session until about 6:00 eastern time, just about 55 minutes away, are they still on schedule for that? >> well, after that brief interruption that we had, the judge came back and said it looks like we're going to charge the jury tomorrow. so it's looks like they're going to wrap up with their closing arguments today, let the jury spend the night thinking about it, and then the judge will call them back tomorrow morning and charge them, tell them what they should be thinking about, how they should go about their deliberations and then put it natural their hands as they determine the fate of casey anthony. >> all right, david mattingly, thank you so much in orlando. appreciate that. so let's bring in our legal experts. on the phone from cleveland, avery friedman, and from las
5:06 pm
vegas richard herman. richard, you first. is the behavior of the attorneys upstaging the closing arguments for today? >> i'll tell you, fred, i've been watching this trial every single day. and i would challenge this judge to review the videotape because at every single tape, you can see ashton in the background either laughing or smirking or shaking his head no. and that goes from day one from the baez opening. he shakes his head no. he is in full view of the jury. handy is absolutely going to turn off some jurors with that conduct. >> so that's a big no-no. how influential would that be? >> he was certainly in the heat of the moment, fred. a crescendo in his summation. he turns around, and there is ashton smiling again. so he was inappropriate. the judge halted the proceedings. it hurt baez a little bit. but i really believe, avery, i believe some of those jurors will really be emboldened by that.
5:07 pm
they will like baez for his tenacity. he is fighting for his client with whatever he has. and he is bringing everything he has here. >> avery, you agree with that? >> well, you know what? i hate to do it, i do. i mean i think that jeff ashton did a tremendous job at the beginning in closing argument. david mattingly talked about the breakup. but what happened back there is judge perry admonished both lawyers, both jeff ashton and jose baez with a fairly serious sanction here. and i think those sort of ant s antics, smiling and gesturing and shaking your heads, generally don't do those sort of things. look. what jose baez did in referring to ashton as laughing boy or something like that was inappropriate. and, you know, this is no johnnie cochran. but baez, to his credit, has gotten a couple of points
5:08 pm
across. i think the phrase "fantasy of forensics" will stick with the jury. i think he's had a couple of very powerful points, fredricka. and the bottom line is that he has been going for a little bit over two hours. i think richard and i agree that we're not going see very much more. >> yeah. >> and then at that point we're probably looking at least another two hours. so when judge perry says instructions the charges will be tomorrow, that's right. the question is how long the rebuttal is going to be by prosecution. and i have a hunch we're probably talking about another two hours after jose baez gets done. >> oh my goodness. okay, so gentlemen, let's revisit the prosecution. early this morning they were first up in their closing statements. this is some of what was said. >> the only way casey's lies work is if caylee isn't talking. caylee is 2 1/2, almost 3. she is starting to become verbal. she is starting to talk.
5:09 pm
caylee is not going to cooperate. she can't. she doesn't know enough to lie. at some point, caylee is going to say something. >> so richard, jeff ashton has to hope that these are the words that are going to stick with jurors. not the behavior, not that exchange between he and baez. >> yeah. i thought that was probably the most powerful point he made in his summation with respect to premeditation and the fact that the entire casey fantasy world would now crumble because caylee would not go along with it. she would be too young and innocent, and she would expose the fact that she is hanging out with casey every single day. i thought that was very powerful. but again, on the other hand, fred, baez i believe is bringing everything he has to show reasonable doubt.
5:10 pm
and i am truly -- i am believing it's going to be a hung jury on the first-degree murder. second-degree murder, they're not going to get it. not with the evidence in this case. >> and real quick, avery. your predictions on this. >> ashton is going to get his conviction. baez, to his credit, has done a lot better than a lot of people expected. the bottom line, i think the jury gets it. i think we're looking for a conviction first degree. >> thank you so much. avery friedman, richard herman, appreciate your insights. >> thanks a lot. >> of course, tonight a comprehensive special report on the casey anthony murder trial at 10:00 eastern time on the closing arguments of the day. all right. the high profile case involving dominique strauss-kahn may be crumbling. but as far as his fellow french are concerned, he still has some explaining to do about his lifestyle in new york. >> all this going around with the restaurants, the new life, and all this money which has been spent. these people are shocked.

5:15 pm
could be news, history-making. >> prime minister in thailand possibly. >> way ahead of the game. so now let's talk about something else, which had a lot of folks interested and analyzing this, the prince of monaco. >> basically there is this connection to american royalty. his mother is grace kelly, the hollywood actress. so finally he gets to tie the knot. he is 53 years old. they had almost given up hope. >> a bachelor for a long time. >> a bachelor. and he has really sown his wild oats there is still no heir to the throne. this is his first wedding for his bride, south african olympic swimmer. she participated in the sydney olympics in 2000. he is also an olympian bobsled. >> an olympic couple. >> they actually met at an
5:16 pm
olympic event in monaco in 2000. that's how they met. >> interesting. why is this pairing a little controversial? there is a little bit of talk around the fringes about how this wedding came to be, and those who are kind of analyzing the body language of the two during the wedding. why is there all this chat? >> well, we tried to find confirmation of rumors, reports that have appeared in the british press that basically the bride tried to run away a few days before. and that happened right after there was this paternity test that supposedly prince albert has another challenge, another paternity test coming up. so these are things we were not able to confirm. cnn cannot confirm them. but this was something that came up. >> ah-ha. >> but they got married. she was very emotional. we saw the pictures there of her. she shed a tear after the ceremony. very beautiful. the dress by armani.
5:17 pm
i was reading there are hundreds of pearls, hundreds of crystals. >> several different types of silk apparently. >> it's just gorgeous, gorgeous. >> you would expect nothing less for a princess. >> that's right. >> let's talk about the other royal company that people love to watch. they're in canada right now. and for the most part, quite the fanfare. a lot of people are showing their great support for. >> yes, prince william and catherine. their first official visit, they chose canada. and they were very warmly welcomed on friday, first in ottawa. however, this is the trickiest part of their trip. and that's in quebec. that's when there was just a small but vocal anti-monarchist protest. but it was all handled very well. they hardly saw them, barely heard them. but there is this very big protection of identity there in quebec. the french under the french language. and prince william is very well aware of that. he addressed the people there in french. >> scored some points. >> 80% of the people there speak
5:18 pm
french. so he had to. >> smart. >> and listen a little bit to what he had to say and how he speaks french. >> mais oui. [ speaking french ] >> there are those who say his french is not very good. and he himself apologized to the people and acknowledged his weak skills. but he was trying. >> he sounded great. >> there is no other choice. in quebec only 10% of the people speak english. if he wanted to be heard and understood, he had to. he tried. >> good for him. a for effort. you got to give it to him on that one. all right. they actually look like they're very comfortable in this role. >> absolutely. absolutely. >> and it's just the first. >> and it's just the first. >> abroad. >> all right, thank you so much. appreciate it. good to see you. >> good to see you too. no doubt you have seen a police officer directing traffic somewhere in a city near you, right? how about in this way?

5:38 pm
does he have more sympathy in the country in france? it's split again. a lot of people think that he has been ill-treated and he deserves better treatment after what happens and seeing the latest development, but at the same time there are two things the french are shocked by strauss-kahn's behavior, attitude. first we know that he has a problem with women. the way he has been treating women, it's not new. some people think it's a pathologic problem. at the same time, the french and especially the socialist voters, the workers and all that who vote socialist have been shocked by the way the luxury has been spent in new york, all the money spent to rent this 600 square meters apartment downtown manhattan. and all this going around with the restaurants, the new life, and all this money which has been spent. these people are shocked.
