we know in his opening statement, the lead attorney made it clear the defense was going after roy cronk caylee's body and hid it. let's watch this together. >> you will not be able to trust a thing having to do with 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 baez, defense attorney there trying to make cronk look 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
