. >> i want to tell you that mr. cronk -- 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 something that looked like a skull.
