earlier i talked to mark lit mann, the lawyer who represents george anthony, represents not only georgedy and lee anthony, casey's parents and brother. >> mark, the defense tried to raise questions about phone call that is your client allegedly made to a telephone number that's now belongs to a man named vasco thompson. mr. thompson today said he'd never met or spoken to george anthony, didn't know who he was other than what he'd seen on tv. to your knowledge has there ever been any contact between the two men? >> no, mr. cooper. i asked my client point blank, and generally i never talk about attorney-client privilege stuff but he authorized me to say. this he's never met this man, never talked to him, never placed any phone calls to him. >> as you sit in this trial and listen to the defense make all sorts of allegations about your client, about casey's father, george anthony, what goes through your mind? i mean, clearly it seems like day after day they are trying all they can to raise as many questions about george anthony as possible. >> well, that's my own personal battle between bei

indeed george anthony was in court, citing right beside his wife cindy anthony. lee anthony sitting beside his mother. no discernible reaction from the anthonys during this testimony. other problems with this witness, suzanne? in a pretrial deposition, krystal hollow way denied having' sexu oouual affair with george anthony. she denied it. i'm just getting word that george anthony is taking the stand again. so i want to get back in there. i want to finish this, though. the other thing prosecution brought up as to ms. hollow way, she sold her story to the "national enquirer" for $4,000. he alleges she did that, she made up this affair to make that money for telling her story. now i've got to go and listen to george anthony. he's taking the stand for the sixth time. >> carol, thank you so much. i want to bring our viewers inside the courtroom to listen once again to george anthony who's taken the stand le. let's listen. >> anyone during the time at the command center bring duct tape to the command center? >> which command center? which location, sir, are you talkin

it's an affair george anthony denies. woman told an orlando television station she'd been subpoenaed to appear in court at 8:30 a.m. holloway said she's prepared to testify about what she says mr. anthony told her in 2008 before his granddaughter's remains were found. >> what did george tell you about that? >> that it was an accident that snowballed out of control. i don't believe that george picked the body up like they said. i think it was an accident. >> well, more on this development in just a moment. first though, day 24 in the trial. today the defense called a string of expert witnesses to testify about dna and duct tape and leaves. but the question is, did the testimony actually help or hurt the defense's case? gary tuchman was in the courtroom. he joins us now. >> reporter: casey anthony often covers her mouth in court when she talks to her attorneys. she doesn't want others to read her lips. but if she was asking how the day was going, a candid answer would have been "not so great". >> my name is richard -- >> re

>> i don't mean to be rude, sir, but you're being vague. >> reporter: earlier casey anthony's father georgee stand again, with the defense implying he had an affair while his granddaughter was missing. >> mr. anthony, do you know a woman boit name of crystal holloway? >> i know her by that name and also another name. >> what other name do you know her by? >> river cruz. >> did you have a romantic relationship with her? >> no, sir. no. to me that's -- that's very funny. >> very funny. >> yes,sir. >> and were you ever intimate with her? >> no, sir. and that's also very funny. >> reporter: george anthony maintains that holloway was just a volunteer who helped look for his granddaughter. the defense alleges that george anthony in a moment of intimacy confessed to holloway that his granddaughter's death was an accident that snowballed out of control. >> did you, prior to finding your granddaughter, tell crystal holloway or river cruz that caylee's death was an accident that snow bald out of control? >> well, sir, to clarify your question i never found my granddaughter. to this day i never found

it was an extraordinarily emotional day in court with george anthony weeping on the witness stand. but if the the defense is resting tomorrow it now seems highly unlikely they'll be calling casey anthony to the stand to testify. martin savage outside the courtroom joins us now. marty, do we know if she'll testify tomorrow? >> no, we don't know tonight. this is the way it is going down. it's been three years now this case has been under investigation. 31 days that trial has been going on. as you point out it could all come to an end tomorrow for the defense. that's what they have said. however, that doesn't mean the end of the trial. because the prosecution says they want time for rebuttal. that could take them two days. on top of that, both sides have said for closing arguments they need a half day each. and then you have the judge that has to essentially charge the jury, give them the dos and don'ts before he sends them off. this could take anywhere from 45 minutes to maybe three hours. and here's the real question mark here. before they start deliberations, this is a holiday weeke

this is an effort to frame george anthony. t i believe to be the following. a so-called other woman that once claimed she had an affair with george, says he told her quael kael's death was an accident that snowballed. we're going to bring on the protestor out in george anthony's front yard her back off of his yard to say he's got a hair trigger temper. going to bring in his alleged suicide attempt when he was distraught over caylee's death. and they're going to bring on this convicted felon. what's he going to say in anybody's guess. maybe he wanted me to hide the body, he wanted me to do the deed. we don't know what this felon is going to say. but i would not give it a lot of weight. >> do they have to come up with some sort of evidence to build their case that there was sexual abuse by george anthony? these are the allegations that casey was the victim of sexual abuse for years from her father. >> you see, that's the problem, anderson. because in our country under our jurisprudence model, the defendant casey anthony tot mom h

>> well, you have to remember that george anthony said to this woman that it was an accident. that is the defense theory. >> he denies it, though. >> of course he denies it. but she confirmed it. he's going to deny it now. but that's in fact what at least the investigation at the time i was on the case showed. >> andrea, we also heard from roy kronk, the meter reader, who discovered caylee's remains. the defense is saying he tampered with the remains, planted them in the woods to collect the reward money. he denied that today on the stand. you still think he could be damaging to the state's case? >> he's damaging to the state's case for a number of reasons. first, his own testimony today was that he put his stick into the skull and moved it, that he moved the bag. so that means that if those were the remains that were there and they were not moved, he at least disturbed the scene. at the very minimum that was what was shown. secondly, his behavior is pretty difficult to square with someone who is being a good citizen. and he called his son, told his son that he was going to be

they questioned george and cindy anthony about this. er lee groping casey. she was not allowed to answer that question. here's what george said when he was asked about molesting his daughter. >> you, of course, would never admit to molesting your child, would you, sir? >> argumentative. >> overruled, you can answer the question if you can. >> sir, i would never do anything like that to my daughter. >> my question is you would never admit to it, would you, sir? >> sir, i would never do anything to harm my daughter in that way. >> the point of bringing this up, we should point out for viewers, is that they want to show she was messed up and is well traineded to lie which is why she may have lied as a result of her daughter going missing and not helping and being honest with police. but do you think the defense is proving their case here? are they getting anywhere on this? >> no, i don't think so. i think they are butting their heads against a brick wall. george anthony has been so real, true and vulnerable on the stand today that when he t

a testy exchange between george anthony and jose baez.is is the first time, i think, k kyra, that we have seen this emotion from george anthony. this is a former police officer who is used to testifying and has experience testifying. we see him crying on the witness stand. using some sort of handkerchief to stop his tears. an important part of testimony in the courtroom today. >> sunny hostin, thank you. we are monitoring the pictures. the father of casey anthony on the stand. george anthony giving his testimony at this time. we will continue to watch it. all right. >>> next hour, president barack obama is going to open the floor to reporter questions. it is his first solo news conference since march. he just faces a laundry list of issues. the debate over the national debt and the drawdown in afghanistan and the controversy of the mission in libya. cnn's jill doherty is at the white house. we are sure he will get all types of questions. >> reporter: no question. to make this more complicated, senate republicans now say they are going to

who says she had an affair with george anthony. they have her waiting in the wings. they put george up first and let her say i did not have a romantic relationship with her, and secondly, and this is huge, suzanne, i never said to her that this was an accident, that snowballed out of control. i did not say that ever. so you better believe we're going to see the defense calling crystal holloway, also known as river cruz, to the stand to refute that and say absolutely, we had an affair. >> to prove he's a liar, he's not credible. holly, stay with us. we will be following all the twists and turns of the casey anthony trial. clearly, they're trying to throw everything they've got into this, into the defense, and we expect that this will continue about 1:30 or so this afternoon. also want to get you up to speed on other big stories that we're following today. there is a raging wildfire chasing everybody out of los alamos, new mexico, today. more than 10,000 people are under orders to get out. the fire is also threatening the los alamos national lab, the nation's premier nu

george anthony's lawyer says george anthony doesn't know the guy.in your opinion is this just another effort to kind of bring george anthony into this as a possible player? >> absolutely. because there is no shred of evidence, nothing. there is no evidence in the record in its entirety that indicates that anyone -- that there's a tie with this individual. >> you have to remember that the prosecution has thrown up as much stuff to see if it sticks. you tell me that it is relevant to whether or not this young woman killed her child as to whether or not she got a tattoo sometime later. the point that i'm making is, this is a circumstantial evidence case. >> would a defense attorney at this point already know whether or not they want to put their client in this case casey anthony on the stand? >> not necessarily. they wouldn't necessarily know. and it kind of reminds me of a case where i had a client who was a displaced west virginia coal miner. and he had good things and important things to say. but he had a very odd way of presenting himself. he didn'

george anthony's lawyer says george anthony doesn't know the guy.ther effort to kind of bring george anthony into this as a possible player? >> absolutely. pidicates tan--3nhi.- dividual. >>vetoembeth t eat dual. >>vetoembeth t s sef atantouthe body. indicate that it was likely the mother because she was last in control of the body. >> would a defense attorney at this point already know whether or not they want to put their client in this case casey anthony on the stand? >> not necessarily. they wouldn't necessarily know. and it kind of reminds me of a case where i had a client who was a displaced west virginia coal miner. and he had good things and important things to say. but he had a very odd way of presenting himself. he didn't express emotions the way normal people do. and so the decision whether to call him was complicated by the way that i feared that a jury might look at him as a person. and so this is a very complicated decision. >> and paul, in particular also because of all the tapes of her lying -- >> well, this is not just a case about

what's the reaction of george and cindy anthony to this? >> reporter: okay. y about that, too, george and cindy's attorney. he tells me that george and cindy believe that krystal holloway is, quote, disturbed. totally denies the affair. they say they know krystal holloway because she was one of the volunteers looking for caylee's body. but they say none of this is true, that she is disturbed and they are very unhappy that she's come forward claiming this. >> well, also it is a telling point that apparently she said to police that she did not have affair with george anthony, but she did say to the "national enquirer" which i'm guessing paid her or maybe they didn't even need to pay her, but she told the "national enquirer" that they did have an affair. that certainly speaks to her credibility. >> reporter: right. and that's something the attorney cited, too. she told police one thing, she told the "national enquirer" something else. but either way, he stressed to me, they feel she is truly disturbed. that's their allegation. >> all right. good to know. gary, ap

a woman who alleges she had an average with george anthony. two days ago, george anthony denied that affair and a little scoop for you. that very night, river crews went on blog talk radio and she was hot. george anthony denied being with her, she was cussing like a salty sailor. i'm waiting to see what happens in this courtroom this morning. could be explosive testimony because she was just so angry and giving out nasty details and all of the stuff on the radio. so it was quite the interview. after she is done, we need to see if they are going to put casey on the stand because legally speaking, kyra, they he stood up in opening, jose baez, the lead defense attorney for casey anthony, and he alleges all of these things. sexual abuse by george and sexual abuse by lee, her father and her brother. and then he said the baby drowned in the swimming pool. so far, there has been no testimony that any of those things occurred and if they don't get testimony in, there is no evidence of it, so he cannot get up in closing argument and argue that to the j

anthony trial. a 360 exclusive. today the lawyer for georgeonys do not believe their daughter is innocent. now, the anthonys have been in the courtroom for virtually all the testimony, much of it pretty gruesome, supporting casey who's charged with murdering her 2-year-old daughter caylee. at one point cindy even whispers to crazy i love you. george anthony brings a badge with caylee's picture on it every day. they have said they want justice for their granddaughter who would have turned six this august. gary tuchman joins me again. gary, we haven't known what the anthonys have felt about whether or not casey is guilty or not. you've learned exclusively some information. what did you learn and how did you hear it? >> reporter: well, they've kept it very pry private. today i talk today their family attorney mark litman. he hasn't wanted to talk about that citing attorney-client privilege. i explained to him we don't want to sensationalize this. but there's a big question. george could be in a lot of trouble if the the jury ultimately believes w

what's so ironic is that it was jose baez, the defense lawyer, eliting all this bad testimony from george anthony't believe that defense was bringing all this out. we're looking at possibly former fiance jesse grund if the judge allows it to testify tot mom was worried about lee anthony that he had molested her. we might see the other woman in george anthony's life, river cruz. other than that it's all tot mom. i just don't see her taking the stand, but, you know, you can't call it. >> who did take the stand, the meter reader's son, and he kind of was not clear on when his father may or may not have found the remains. was that damaging at all? >> complete wash. they should have just left him off the stand. he couldn't get his dates straight. he couldn't figure out when his father called me and then the grief expert they put up to talk about casey's grieving was appropriate. you want to tell me, dan abrams, that running out and buying a case of beer and a push-up bra that that is a reasonable mode of grieving? i don't think the jury is going to agree. >> i agree with you on the grief counselor. ma

the defense grilled george anthony about an alleged affair and pitted mom against son. hony's attorneys turned their focus to this man, the meter reader that found caylee's body. you're looking at a live picked inside the courtroom. the defense is still questioning roy cronk, the meter reader who found caylee's body. to weigh-in on all the of this, holly hughes. she's here with me in studio, we'll get to the anthony family in a moment, i want to ask you about roy cronk, the meter reader, he found the body, called it in, we have the 911 calls that were just played in court. the defense is claiming that he took little caylee's body and hid it. how did he do in court today? >> i think he's holding up pretty well. it's pretty safe to say, he doesn't come across as a criminal mastermind, okay? he is thinking carefully about his answers, and i think he comes across as not having any gile. this is not a man who's trying to trip anybody up, he's thinking carefully, he's being delibera deliberate. i may have said that, but i'm not sure. >> all the defense has to do is confuse the

just part of the demonization of the defendant. >> the defense attorney has been questioning george anthonygation -- making allegations against him that he basically abused casey anthony. why would that play into this case? >> i think the defense would have had a very good opportunity, anderson, if they had stuck with a straight accidental defense. if tot mom said she drowned on my watch, it was my fault and i panicked. i didn't want to tell my mother and i set it up to look like a mother, as crazy as that may sound, she would have had an actual shot at a lesser included offense like involuntary manslaughter. but claiming the reason i didn't tell anybody is because my father and brother molested me and then you put george anthony on the stand and he's credible and believable, you've got to decide who you believe, tot mom or george anthony. that's what it's going to boil down to. >> mark geragos, nancy grace, thank you very much. >> thanks, anderson. >>> up next, the crew of the space shuttle "endeavour" heads home and sarah palin is in new york. she's dining tonight with donald trump. detai

they've got george anthony in their crosshairs. re going to bring on or suggest -- make suggestions about thompson to suggest that george somehow utilized him in his plot to hide the body. that along with george's alleged suicide attempt, the other woman claiming george told her this was an accident that snowballed out of control, the protester that he pushed off his yard. put it together and they'll taint george anthony as the bad guy. the point, focus on george, focus off tot mom. >> trying to put george on trial. dan, is it a foregone conclusion the judge will allow this witness to testify? >> not necessarily. and you have to remember that in high-profile cases, you often see people come out of the woodwork. people see that the case is on television. they say, aha. i have something interesting to add to this case. i'm not necessarily saying that's what happened here. the defense is saying their investigators turned up this witness. but very often that can mean that someone literally came forward after watching the case and sudden

the evidence that's been presented especially with the opening statement suggests that george anthonyething to do with either molesting his daughter and/or something to do with the removal of caylee marie anthony's body after she was found dead. and none of those things are true. >> so the bottom line, though, just so we are all clear, you did say to gary tuchman yesterday in a conversation that was on the record -- in fact you had two conversations yesterday. in the first conversation you said that they do not believe she is innocent. >> based on the evidence that's been presented by the defense so far in their opening and the evidence that's been presented by the state, you can see in court their statements. i'm certainly not going to discuss their personal feelings or anything that we have discussed. >> so again, i don't want to harp on this and this will be the last time. but just for the record, you are not denying that you told gary tuchman yesterday they do not believe that casey is innocent. >> again, the totality of the conversation it's based on the evidence. and i'm clarify

. >>> the casey anthony trial, we could hear from the alleged mistress of george anthony, casey anthony's father. defense tried to advance their argument that mr. anthony covered up his granddaughter's death and molested his daughter. >> i never would do anything like that to my daughter. >> my question is you would never admit to it, would you, sir? >> federal investigators sought manager of the west virginia coal mine where 29 workers died last april had been faking safety records before the worst u.s. mine disaster in 40 years. the mine safety and health administration said this week, massey energy kept two sets of books, one of them included safety problems and hazards, the other one didn't. that was the set given to government inspectors. massey sold the upper big branch mine earlier this month. >>> in new mexico this morning, they are keeping the los alamos laboratory closed because of fires burning nearby. about 10,000 people have been evacuated. firefighters are pleased with the progress they've made. >> you can see we're getting a lot less smoke and we now have an anchor point an

anthony's parents. a cnn exclusive. mark litman telling georgeaughter is innocent. >> it is not clear how her parents comments through their attorney will impact the trial today. david mattingly is live for us this morning outside of a courtroom in orlando. it is interesting that this was said and this is now out there. how may it affect the witnesses that take the stand, including potentially her parents? >> reporter: well, kiran, george and cindy anthony have already taken the stand in this case for the prosecution. they have provided damaging testimony against their daughter. this much, we have have already known. what we didn't know is how they actually felt about her guilt or innocence and now through their attorney, orlando's mark litman, he tells cnn this. they want to see the truth. they want to see justice. they do not think that casey is innocent. but this is something he emphasized. they love her. they are supporting her. they do not want her to get the death penalty. and every day, george and cindy anthony, we watched them walk into t

the lawyer for the man from the defense that received phone calls from george anthony says casey anthonyense lawyer also depose his client later this week. in a big surprise thompson's name was added last week. the defense wants to ask him about calls that were made from his cell phone number to casey anthony's father the day before the 2 yooeld caylee anthony was reported missing. mr. thompson said he never met him and didn't have the number, and the question in 2008 when caylee disappeared. no word on whether judge perry will allow him to testify. one thing is extremely clear. judge perry was losing patience and today he gave attorneys on both sides gave them a scolding and time-out. day 23 ended before the jury sat down. here's gary tuchman. >> reporter: casey anthony arrived in court for a full day of testimony and hear called by her attorney in an effort to help her case but it was not to be. >> enough is enough. >> reporter: because the judge is angry. he thinks the attorneys are plays games. >> it is quite evident that there is a friction between attorneys. >> reporter: the judge

anthony trial. her father, george, on the stand now. let's listen in. >> get through this. >> do you need a break, mr. anthony? >> no, sir. i'm fine. >> in january -- let me know when you are okay. >> i'm okay, sir. >> on january 22nd of 2009, mr. anthony, you went and got a gun, didn't you? >> objection. >> counsel asked about the exact event. >> overruled. >> may i approach the bench? >> you may. >> you are watching pictures now. this is the casey anthony trial in orlando. to the right of your screen, you see casey anthony standing. now she is sitting. her father is on the stand, george anthony. we watched very emotional testimony as he essentially broke down and started crying. he put his head in his hands. began to weep. the judge asked him if he needed some time or a break. whether or not he wanted to leave the stand. he at first said no and then he just became overcome with emotion. he bowed his head and just left the stand there. this has been a trial that many people have been riveted by and watching the questioning about whether

thompson had contact with casey anthony's father, that's george anthony, the day before caylee anthony was reported missing. now here's the question -- well what is a convicted kidnapper doing contacting george anthony? and that's exactly the question wants to plant in people's minds. the attorney for george anthony says, hey, this is easy to explain, it never happened. they say that george anthony does not know who mr. thompson is, and there was never any communication. although the defense team says we have cell phone records that prove it. now, in order for mr. thompson to testify, it has to be approved by the judge. and the judge has not ruled on that matter. but again, huge drama, more expense. >> vasco degamma thompson. >> and also there's talk that casey anthony may be taking the stand herself. that will be riveting. >>> in new details on arizona's largest wildfire in recorded history. 200 people who were forced to leave their homes are now being allowed back. firefighters who have spent two weeks battling the fire, have gotten some control over it, it's still only 20% contained

quite the contrast in casey anthony when earlier today her father george anthony was on the stand andomposed while a very stone-faced casey anthony sat and watched his testimony. so now let's listen in to what this grief expert is saying. >> this hysteria is such, if you will, that it's their response to grief when they've come from an environment where they never had help thil coping mechanisms and at the same time were never told to talk about things that happened in the family. >> have you treated individuals who have lost a loved one who have appeared exactly the same according, for example, to friends and family members as part of your practice, the day before and the day after the loss? and continue to appear that way for years afterwards? >> yes. i have seen people lose a child and make aringments and then go to work the next day and the next day and the next day. i have seen children come back to florida state who have lost a grandparent over the weekend and delve into sorority life and become a hot shot student or a very bad student. as though nothing has ever happened. or so

>> they may call george anthony back to the stand.s-examined and called by the prosecution, and the defense could call him and ask brand-new questions. and the big $65,000 question is will casey anthony herself take the stand. i think probably not. her attorney would probably advice against it. she wants to, she can. she would be the one to primarily offer up the testimony and evidence. other than that, i don't see how they are going to do it. >> do they have any burden at all to dispute what has happened where people say she has lied and lied and all the stories are not true. is there something that they have to do now to say, look, still believe her anyway that she is not the murderer? >> no defendant in an american criminal which i will has no burden of prove, it remains with the prosecution to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. and the judge says they have put on a case where it cannot be dismissed and it's going to the jury. the defense has to do something now. the case will go to the jury. i think the prosecution put in a

but the defense is that george anthony sexually abused casey anthony. if a juror believes that, then this is quite normal because there's no love lost between them. >> brooke baldwin will be back tomorrow. time now for wolf blitzer. >>> at this hour, barack obama calls for both parties to stop arguing and just do it. who was behind a fiery suicide attack in a luxury hotel in afghanistan? new details on a deadly and brazen bombings and doubts about the taliban's initial claims of responsibility. and iran's military takes its nuclear defiance to dangerous new levels. a key u.s. ally says teheran is secretly testing missiles that could carry nuclear weapons. i'm wolf blitzer in chicago. you're in "the situation room." >> i'm the president of the united states and i want to make sure that i am not engaging in scare tactics. >>> one month and three days before the deadline, the president held a rare white house news conference today, his first since march. there's a lot for us to dissect today about the economy, the wars that are ongoing, the politics, the t

george anthony denied the claim. >>> 16 minutes after 5. it's a race against time this morning. crews are dropping 1,000 pounds sandbags on a leak in missouri in the river where the levee is. they are hoping they will will be able to prevent flooding. 600 people have been order out of hamburg in southwestern iowa. >>> now maryland's most powerful doppler radar and the forecast certified most accurate by weatherate. >> good morning, everyone. hope you had a fabulous weekend because the weather was look pretty good especially on saturday. yesterday, we started out a little on the dicey side with cloud and then we started to see sunshine roll through the area. and then as we went into the evening we had a few showers roll n we had a little bit of everything yesterday. our highs came in right around 83 into baltimore. if you head to philly the temperature is around 76. new york around 68 degrees. and pittsburgh at 86 and 85 in altuna. roanoke close to about 90 degrees. and some of that warm air that hot air is going to get here as we head into the middle of the week. for right now t

videotapes really gave us a bird's eye view into this family, the relationship between casey and george anthony, who of course she has accused of sexually abusing her. the relationship between casey and cindy anthony, who really wanted to find her granddaughter, and the relationship between casey and her brother, lee, who she also accused of sexually molesting her. we got a view into the dynamics of what many people are calling a dysfunctional family. >> there's something about this story, maybe we'll discuss that later, that hits the radar for women and for guys. it's interesting, but a sad story. we were talking about it, is she going to take the stand, people were asking me? you have to ask sunny? i feel like from the jailhouse videos she had already taken the stand. this makes it appear like she has. do you think she'll get on the stand or this is enough? >> that's a great point. it's not enough for the defense. she's got to take the witness stand, don. remember, that explosive opening statement by jose baez, i felt like i saw glimpses of johnny cochran in his opening statement. he made a l
