i mean, but it did sort of come up in jose baez's opening statement and perhaps that is where this theoryory came up. we all know it was never corroborated with evidence at trial. she told this psychiatrist her father had found caylee's drowned body in the family swimming pool and that he helped dispose of the body and then covered it up. she says he was yelling at me. it was your fault. i can't believe you did this. she said he came out and said daddy is going to take care of it. he left the house with the child and she says that's the last time i saw her. >> what is her father, george anthony, saying? how is he responding? >> well, her father has always maintained his innocence. he has always maintained that he had nothing to do with the death of caylee marie anthony. we did get a statement from his attorney, mark lippman saying the same thing. he says had he nothing to do with the death of caylee marie anthony including what happened to her remains after she allegedly drowned. he responds to the sexual abuse allegations casey anthony discusses with the psychiatrist. he says he has repe

i spoke with jose baez last night who is lecturing at harvard university law school this week.ase of that video, which was done back in october. it's kind of her video diary. she is living still in florida. i can report that. obviously in an undisclosed location for security reasons. >> steve: now we all know what she looks like. >> that's when she looked like in october, steve. there is no telling what she looks like now. she's leading a very solitary life. she has very, very few personal contacts. >> brian: she has dog. >> she has a dog. but i think the video, although generally speaking portraying the country's most reviled woman in a generally sympathetic way, still you see the pathetic nature of her life as a loner. >> brian: no mention of her child. >> well, who knows what she has said in her video diary. you have a four-minute excerpt here. i've seen commentator, particularly in florida, there is a guy, one of the lawyers of one of the many lawsuits again her saying look, she's a narcissus. she doesn't mention the child, it's all about her. come on. who knows if she's do

jose baez swears to me the defense team has nothing to do with it.re as shocked as anybody else. megyn: what motivation would she have, lis to do this and if she leaked it, leaked it through her brotherly, why would she put that out there. >> i suppose to make herself look good, look pathetic, saying she had to change her hair color and glasses. megyn: she hasn't been able to get the big payoff interview. >> the big book, all of that. >> don't you think she would have been far more premeditated in saying, oh, woe is me, my heart is ripped a thupbder by the greath u.n. der by the great loss. she could have had a script to follow if it was that premeditated. we have to say what is this. this is a person who beat a murder rap and the vast majority of people think she did it in a way that was crud deand that she is stone, cold guilty and danced on the grave of her child. she is going to live forever with a big bull's-eye on her back and i think we should take this for what it is. megyn: she lied repeatedly to police about her missing daughter should find

>> well, the weird thing is is that in her defense jose baez when he took to the floor and addressedt jury and questioned all those witnesses on the stand, he went to the point where he alleged that her dad, casey's dad george, george anthony, used to molest her and that that's why she became this chronic liar that none of us could believe. the lies were proven. we knew she was a liar. that's a fact. and so jose had to clean it up in court. he blamed all of it on her father who had to walk up to the stand several times and listen to all of these allegations that he molested casey. now casey while speaking privately to these psychiatrists said not only did he molest me, but i think he molested my baby and that he drowned her to cover it up. this is really brutal stuff. >> all right. the second topic i want to address with you, natalie holloway. today an alabama judge will consider whether to declare her dead nearly seven years after she disappeared in aruba. who's requesting this declaration and why? how does this work? >> well, it's such a tender thing because she is technically stil

jon: she is upset with lawyer jose baez.e judge okayed. you don't like what this judge did there. >> we're finding out know everything that casey anthony, when she was behind bars told the court appointed psychiatrist, and jon, that offends my basic sensibilities. i mean it is so unfair. first of all there is a doctor/client privilege. you tell a psychiatrist something you would never tell anyone else. to think judge belvin perry, who in every major decision in her trial sided with the prosecution would do this i think is really slander. the fact that she, it is of course interesting what she told the psychiatrist. that caylee, the toddler, she was accused of slaying was born as result of a date rape when she was 18 years old. that is, you know, i, obvious interest. that's why we're all doing the story right now. but the fact that it was revealed in this manner think i is really a cheap shot and kind of a parting shot by judge belvin perry. jon: leaves you wondering whether she is telling the truth even to her psychiatrist?

>> jose baez, her lead defense attorney and they're still involved in other life, they're monitoringause she still has a criminal appeal on the conviction for lying to authorities, he says, and he swears to me and i know him very well, we are friends, dear friends, in fact, i'm proud to say, although he's -- i think that a lot of the unpopularity sha she, the most reviled woman in america, is experiencing has gone to her defense team, but jose is who is teaching at harvard university's criminal justice institute, he says that -- first of all, the defense team had nothing to do with the leaking of this video, even though she is portrayed relatively sympathetically, he swears they had nothing to do with t. she's keeping the video diary, somehow it leaked, everything about her and any contact she has with anybody about forever be leaked as long as she maintains this very reclusive stance that she is. as you can see, she's a blond now, she is living a very, very secluded, ietionlation -- isolationist life, she las very few friends, she's at an undisclosed location in the state of florida
