>> mr. baezraphs to me and i have an objection on the series of them on grounds of relevance. >> okay. >> i object to a description of the photograph prior to its submission. >> okay. all you need to do is establish does she recognize it, and whether or not it adequately and accurately describes the subject matter therein. you can offer them, and we'll see if they object. >> do you recognize the photograph, mrs. anthony? >> yes. >> is it a true and accurate depiction of what it actually is? >> yes. >> at this time, your honor, i would move exhibit e.r. into evidence. >> it's e.r. i'm sorry, sir. >> i would have an objection at this point as indicated on relevance grounds. >> you want to approach the sidebar, mr. baez? >> yes, sir. >> it appears here we go again. we have seen actually a lot of this throughout the day today when her mother was on the stand earlier, her mother is on the stand again and her brother was on the stand earlier, but there were a lot of sidebars with the attorneys discussi

i firmly believe mr. baez heard me. >> i will not be discussing any prior cases. >> reporter: jose baez was trying all he could, as you could see, to discredit this. he will have his chance in about two weeks. that's when the prosecution will be done, about june 17th, that friday. then jose baez will start on that saturday following it to try to prove to the jury casey anthony is not guilty of first degree murder. >> and trying to save her life. let's remind people this is a capital murder trial. he's trying to save her life, sean. >> reporter: that's right. her life is on the line. if she does get convicted, the defense is ready to use mitigating circumstances, such as alleged sexual abuse against casey anthony to try to save her life and hope that will convince the jury to spare her if she is convicted. >> sean lavin live in orlando, thank you very much. >>> images of the crackdown in syria are being captured by protesters on the streets. we're going to have those really dramatic pictures for you. plus new d

i find them to be intentional, mr. baez, you need to bring forth all the information, paycheck sure your experts put what they're going to testify to in their report. give their opinion ahead of time so the other side can properly prepare. and that's not just to jose. the state has to provide the defense the same type of information. this has repeatedly gone on, where the defense attorney has shown up, says his expert's going to testify to something that is not in the judge's pretrial order, and what i'm referring to there, t.j., back in february, they had -- you know, this case has been going on for three years, behind the scenes, pre-trial hearings, over and over, and this continually arose. the judge has said in the past, hey, both sides are playing games. so to avoid this, to stop this from happening in trial, because we'll have jurors that are sequestered. we don't want to hold them hostage any longer than we have to. so to make sure trial slows smoothly, i'm putting an order in place and i'm saying, if it's not in you

and this is critical because the prosecution is alleging the duct tape was the murder weapon, and mr. baez wanted them to testify it could not have been around the head. he's not an expert in that type of thing and therefore the paus cuter rightfully said judge this is in violation of the order. in his opinion, he said he was going to talk about the bones and not the duct tape. this is the central in the case, was that the murder weapon. >> what do we expect the defense to present this week? do we think casey anthony will take the stand? >> we know that she doesn't have to. the defense does not have to put her up. she has the fifth amendment right to stay silent that we hear about in all the tv shows, but since they promised in opening in the big bombshell where the baby drowned and she was sexually abused, she is the only one that can testify to that, so she has to take the stand and testify about it if they want to prove that what they said in those deliberations. >> is it fast for all the presentation for the defense to be done in one week? >> it is. the prosecution is the one who has t

several weeks ago mr. baez came to our office and explained how they alleged caylee passed. six weeks ago we phone out from the prosecutors, what the defense was going to be. >> greta: how does that relate to the issue whether this was accidental or murder? >> nothing. it is just more stuff to throw out there. something tphaoeurbt jury to hang their hat on. to try and high the issue of what really happened. and to attack the family. >> greta: did the prosecution object to that? >> the openings are not evidence by any means. you can pretty much say what want. whatever you say, you have to prove. i think that's what the prosecutors are looking for. >> greta: how are cindy and george doing? >> you can see in court they have good days and bad days. certainly on the day that miss anthony testified it was a difficult day. today was more of just to see how dr. vass was going to do. >> greta: when you observe from the outside, when you think you observe may not be true. in terms of how you think people are taking thing

anthony, do you want to ask that question now or do you want to wait until mr. baez and mr.nd ms. sims alive? >> i can answer that now. >> okay. >> i agree with miss finne will,l. >> thank you, ma'am. >> the drama was just beginning. for most of the morning it was anthony's father george who found himself in the cross hairs of defense attorney jose baez who walked caylee's grandfather from one emotionally-charged subject to the next, including incest. >> you know, of course, that sex with a child under the age of 12 years old is life in prison, don't you, sir? >> sir, i never would 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. >> only in that way. >> reporter: then baez took george anthony, a former police detective, back to the smell in casey's car which the prosecution says came from his granddaughter's remains. the defense says it was something else. >> there is also a difference, sir, of saying it's human decomposition and not human decomposition? >>

>> you know, mr. baez, i have been nice to you.ave tried to answer every question to the best of my ability. and for what my wife and i might have retained from a news organization to bring awareness of my granddaughter -- my daughter and other missing children. that is what that article was about. it had nothing to do with guilt or innocence or anything like that. >> joining me now is former prosecutor, holly hughes. we saw george anthony actually break down after that. what happened? >> you know, the defense is finally getting to the point where they are trying to get evidence before the jury that they talked about in their opening. jose baez got up and accused casey casey's father of sexually molesting her when she was 8 years old. he was vulger and distinct. he has called george back to the stand. what we see is a broken man. yesterday we he testified, he was defy yant. he is a man trying to say he did not ever do that. i would not ever do that. then he is being attacked. you gavin afte interviews to tha and you were paid for i

. >> and mr. baez? >> 9:26. >> the prosecutor said 9:25.efense said 9:26. >> that shows me you two will never agree to anything and never interpret anything the same way. >> court was abruptly ended and the judge warned to follow the rules on tuesday. >> how has the jury been react something. >> at best it's a wash for casey anthony. at worst it's damaging. damaging because of go things. one, withering cross-examination and because of what the jury hadn't heard. the defense gave itself an extra burden withdraw may tick opening statements where the attorney said, caylee anthony drowned in a swimming pool, it was an accident. the reason she didn't say anything or lied about it because she lived in a crazy house with lots of secrets because she's been molested. the jury hadn't heard anything about that. put yourself in the jury's shoes. they hear the most dramatic words of the trial so far, the defense opening statement and they've heard nothing about it. from trials i've covered over the years, good defense attorneys if they have solid eviden

. >> mr. baez, to be quite frank, both sides have engaged in what i call game playing. okay? and this is not a game. and the reason the order was entered in the first place was because both sides were engaged in some form of it at some time. and the reason the order was entered is because i did not want to be at the position i am currently in now. >> and to drive that point home, that this is not a game, as the judge says, he says he may entertain contempt charges against the defense after this trial is over. t.j.? >> all right. david mattingly for us, we appreciate you this morning. and a reminder to our viewers, you saw all that video of people out there fighting for places in line. well, that's not going to happen anymore, because they changed the rules. people have tiny lo line up and day before at certain times, so they don't expect anymore of those scenes we've been seeing outside the courthouse. >>> anyway, we'll turn to the story of amanda knox now. five inmates including a child murderer and a mob boss are coming to her defense. she is, of course, the american who is

. >> do you want to answer that question now or do you want to wait till mr. baez or mr.ve. >> i can answer that. >> okay. >> i agree with miss finnell. >> thank you, ma'am. >> reporter: it is a rare day to hear casey speak. yet, we may be hearing more if she takes the stand. the defense also called arief counselor to try to explain away that 31-day party spree after the tragic death of her daughter. counselors say young people are sometimes reluctant grievers who party on the edge of hysteria. i want to make one other observation here, robin, that is that three deputies are now escorting ms. anthony in this courtroom. used to be two but obviously things are getting a littleore tense in this courtroom. >> yeah, as things begin to wrap up. ash, thank you very much. let's bring in the rest of our trial team, nancy grace, the host of "nancy grace" on hlhl ad here in the studio again is our legal analyst dan abrams. nancy, let me start with you. that was the fifth time that we saw george anthony on the stand. before we've seen a composed former police officer. yesterday we sa

ask your question, mr. baez. >> yes, sir.y -- were there any discussions between the time that you confronted your mother and the time that you -- that casey picked you up at the airport that had anything to do with casey being pregnant? >> any objections to that question? >> rephrase, no, sir. >> you may answer. >> okay. from the time i confronted her with that until that >>> okay. one of their questions they are discussing with the judge. we'll take a short break and then return on the other side with a good explanation as to why that question is being challenged about why lee anthony was hurt about the fact that his sister, casey anthony, was pregnant. we'll be right back. ♪ [car horn honks] our outback always gets us there... ... sometimes it just takes us a little longer to get back. ♪ so delicious. i think you'll find it's the vegetables. deliciously rich. flavorful!

. >> mr. baez didn't ask this question, but when was it you knew this lady? >> i met her at the command center, skating rink on golden rod sometime to make the middle to third week of october. >> so, you met her sometime in mid october. >> mid october of 2008. >> and when after caylee's remains were found, your friendship with her ended. at some point. >> basically, yes, i would agree with yes. it did. >> did you ever tell river cruise that while your daughter was home on bond that you grabbed her by the throat, threw her up against the wall and said those into statements -- >> overruled. >> threw her up against the wall and said, i know you did something to caylee, where's caylee? >> no, sir, i never did that to my daughter. >> no further questions. >> redirect. >> no further questions. >> please stand down. thank you, sir. defense may call the next witness. >> defense calls cindy anthony. >> i confirm the tell the truth -- >> c-y-n-t-h-i-a a-n-t-h-o-n-y. >> good morning. did you ever instruct miss anthony or dominic hoover to search off suburban drive? >> n

the judge says, mr. baez, have you been to the bars lately? in other words, that happens all the time. he said he was worried it made his client look like a lesbian. hello, baez. you got bigger problems than your client dancing with another woman at a bar. >> nancy grace, always a pleasure to have you on. always a very interesting look at the trial there. nancy, thank you. >> thanks, randi. >>> our sister network hln is your destination for complete coverage of the casey anthony trial. you can watch special coverage of the trial throughout the day on hln. >>> well, our "sound effect" today is tough love from defense secretary robert gates. on his way home from a farewell visit to afghanistan, gates stopped by nato headquarters and told the allies what he really thinks of them. not all of them, but most of them. and they knew who they were already. gates and his predecessors have struggled to get our partners to pony up for missions but never, ever has a defense secretary stood up in public and warned the north american alliance it faced a dim,

. >> refrain the question, mr. baezin this case did you expose that you had a financial interest with the database? >> my report to the detective and the investigator? >> yes. >> no, i did not disclose it. >> now, the differences between -- and i know we touch odd on this briefly -- but you work at a research lab, correct? >> correct. >> and the difference between a research lab and a forensic lab is a research lab does experiments? >> research data is our department. yes. >> and a research lab is not required to have protocols? >> usually the research labs are the ones who develop the protocols and procedures. >> so the answer is correct, yes. >> asked and answered. >> i was not sure? >> overruleded. you can get clarification. >> can we get clarification? the answer is yes? it is not required to have protocols? >> sometimes. it depends upon what you are doing. >> in this case there are no protocols? >>> in this case, you can see that attorney jose baez is trying to discredit the expert for the prosecution now on the st

but, you know, as was evidenced by the opening statement by mr. baezwe are talking about somebody who is very damaged. and the amount of pressure that is on somebody who is facing a trial, especially a trial under the kind of scrutiny and kind of mob atmosphere that this case has, can push somebody over the edge. >> so you're saying it's really possible this could have been justified. let me ask you, savannah. of given that the bar is so low for mental competency to stand trial, do you think the defense had a serious worry about casey, or do you think this also could be a play? >> i don't think it's a play, because even if they had had her declared incompetent, all it does is pause the proceedings. it doesn't mean she walks free, oh, there's a mistrial. it just means they'll get her to a place where she is competent to stand trial, and then a trial happens. so i don't think it would be a great strategy if that's what it were. i think we should give the defense attorneys the benefit of the doubt. in some kind of conversations they have had with casey an

. >> what evidence, mr. baez, would one glean from inspecting the pool?if you never look, you never know. >> yeah, but let's say you look. what would you see to determine whether someone drowned? >> well -- >> if a body's not found in a pool, how do you determine fit was drowned in that particular pool? >> reporter: that accidental defense, accidental drowning defense has yet to begin, but it's unclear, aside from casey or her father george, who could testify to that. and george, as we said, has already denied any knowledge or involvement in a cover-up. meredith? >> and the judge seems to have his doubts as well. kerry sanders, thank you very much. >>> now let's get a check of the weather with al. he's at the vatican. good morning to you, al. >> reporter: good morning, meredith. thank you so much. in 1540 the pope at the time hired a swiss mercenary i force to become the guard for the papal residency. today the swiss guards, an elite force, continues to guard the pope. joining me are two guards. first of all, what are the requirements to be a swiss guard.

defense attorney, jose baez wanted to raise doubts about how the case was handed. >> mr.ny's cell records. >> yes. >> do they include cell tower information? >> no they do not. >> would that information have been useful to you as -- being able to determine mr. george anthony's movement? or his cell phone movement? >> yes, if i had a reason to even believe that that would play a part in this case which at the time i did not. >> baez brought up roy krompt, the meter reader that discovered caylee's remains in december of 2008. >> you also testified that you never confiscate his computer? >> yes, i don't believe getting his computer. >> the next expert witness of the day was kenneth fertin, a forensic expert. the goal for the defense, call into the question the presence of chloroform found in the trunk of casey's car. he noted the chloroform could come from a household cleaner like bleach. but under cross-examination admitted there was no evidence of any bleach in casey's car. >> you would expect that if bleach were spilled upon a dark fabric surface the dark fabric surface w

listen to how attorney jose baez described cronk during opening statements a month ago. >> i want to tell you that mr-- and again we are not saying mr. cronk had anything to do with caylee's death. but mr. cronk is a morally bankrupt individual who actually took caylee's body and hid her. there was a $225,000 reward in this case. but it was for a live caylee. mr. cronk didn't read the fine print. and he thought he had himself a lottery ticket. >> reporter: but when cronk took the stand today, defense attorney cheney mason over and over tried and seemed to fail to paint cronk as a man attempting to cash in on a child's death. >> do you remember talking also to the detectives about the issue of the reward you were looking for? >> we were discussing the crime line tip,sy. we weren't talking about the other ones, sir. >> you were joking, you say, with alex roberts and the others about finding this body? >> no. we were joking about the money, sir. i never joked about finding the body, sir. that's not what i said. >> reporter: cronk said he went into the wood to relieve himself on august 11, 2008 and saw s

mr. cronk because he had control of caylee's remains for obviously several months. where he found her, we do not know. nor will we ever know. >> so sunny, jose baezok like a bad guy. was he successful at doing that? >> i don't know if he was successful. they really neededed a home run. i think they got more of a base hit basically. they got him to say some interesting things because his story is a bit curious. he called 911 three times in august and no one responded and he calls again in december, december 11 of 2008 and he does find her remains. everyone else was searching in the act same place. his story was curious. they pointed it out. did they make him look like a morally bankrupt individual? i don't think they can say that. >> first here, let's listen to cindy anthony. >> prior to december 2008, did you tell your son lee anthony that ed sent dominic casey and/or jim hoover to look for casey with a video camera? >> i never told anybody that i sent those guys there because i never sent those guys there. >> okay, now here is lee anthony. let's listen. >> did you go to our parents' home? >> yes, i did. and then you got there did your mother tel

baez questioned the defendant's father george anthony about comments he made to law enforcement. george anthony reacted angrily accusing the defense of spinning his statements. the defense questioned mry about his 2009 suicide attempt suggesting he had left a note that expressed guilt. live pictures now as you look at casey anthony, the defendant. the judge is expected to rule today on whether casey anthony's former fiance can testify in front of jurors. >>> lawyers for toque shooting suspect jared lee loughner go to court later today in an evident to keep doctors from forcibly medicating him. loughner has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. a federal judge ruled he's not competent to stand trial for the mass shooting that left several dead and injured. loughner's attorneys say forcing their client to take powerful drugs violates his rights. prosecutors say the medication will keep him from hurting himself and others. >>> an fda panel says avastin is not effective against breast cancer. after two hearings a six-member advisory panel voted on the fate of the controversial cancer drug. they were unanimous in their decision saying avastin doesn't prolong the lives of women with

mr. ashton, calm down. >> sir? >> calm down. sit down for a second. >> reporter: those testy moments are an example of the long contentious relationship between jose baeztors. that shovel taken from casey's home is now just one of many pieces of evidence the defense is challenging. another is the duct tape prosecutors claim casey used to suffocate 2-year-old caylee. it was only four days ago -- >> an outline of a heart appeared -- >> reporter: -- that an fbi testified she had seen the faint outline of a heart-shaped sticker on that duct tape. but now -- >> i was unable to detect any -- any sticker or sticker fragment, sticker residue. >> reporter: the defense called another fbi agent who also examined the duct tape. she used the agency's most advanced equipment designed to see well beyond the naked eye. >> was there any evidence whatsoever of a sticker there on any of these pieces of duct tape? >> no. >> reporter: despite a case that relies heavily on forensic evidence, casey's defense team still has to live up to its promise in openings, that caylee was not murdered. rather, the toddler accidentally drowned in the backyard swimming pool, and there may
