similarly, your honor, the false statements miss anthony made to detective yuri melich occurred during the course of a single interview. the interview was one continuous conversation and similarly, there were no temparal breaks or other objective criteria that would suggest the defendant had time to pause, reflect and form a new criminal intent as required so as to not run afoul of double jeopardy. we've also provided the court with two other cases. a case that is 511 southern second, 401 and that was out of the fifth dca. that's a 1987 case. and woe also provided the court with burke v. state. 475 southern second 252 and that's a 1985 case. it's our assertion that the hamill case is similar in that it touches on the temporal aspects present in this case as well. however, the hug decision, the double jeopardy was invoked when the defendant was convicted of five incidences of leaving one scene because there were five people in particular who were left at the scene of an accident. burke on the other hand is a case that's invoked a double jeopardy where there were three convictions of the

intended to mislead yuri melich the investigation. willing three means knowingly, and purposely. in considering evidence you should consider the possibility that although the evidence may not convince you that the defendant committed the main crimes of which she is accused, there may be evidence that she committed other acts that would constitute a lesser included crime. therefore, if you decide that the main accusation has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, you will next need to decide if the defendant i guilty of any lesser included crime. the lesser crimes indicated in the definition of first degree murder are second-degree murder, manslaughter, or third degree murder. the lesser crime indicated in the definition of aggravated child abuse is child abuse, second-degree murder. to prove the crime of second-degree murder the state must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt. one, caylee marie anthony is dead. two, the death was caused by the criminal act of casey marie anthony, three, there was an unlawfu

so in that amazing conversation oovps with yuri melich and john all allen, she admits to not working at universal studios for reasons that are not clear, but maintains the zani story. i'm lying to you about working here, but everything else i told you is true. and she maintains that lie for -- through conversation with law enforcement, she maintains that lie through conversations with her parents and her family which you saw through all of july and into august. but during that period of time, a problem comes up, and that is that her claim of where she dropped caylee off has been conclusively disproven. there's just no way that's true. her claim that she was looking for caylee has also been conclusively disproven. there's no way it's true. realizing that, when she is briefly released from jail on bond and stays with her family, she comes up with the new story, the kidnapping story, the forceful kidnapping story, the blanchard park story. remember the testimony where she told her brother lee when she was out in that later part of august that, in fact, yes, zani did kidnap caylee, but i

if you believe him, you have to believe that yuri melich, if you believe hip, you have to believe that the other witnesses were lying to you. michael vincent, the other csi person who said he smelled a dead body, mr. arpad vass, and we'll get into that later. cindy anthony said it because this was her third call and she wanted the police to get there quicker. simon burch who runs the police tow yard. now, you may recall that mr. burch didn't make his statement until nine days later, after it was broadcast all over the news and, in fact, referenced news reports during his statement to the police. you had george anthony who did an incredible job of pointing out that your knowledge the first night upon arriving as soon as he arrived. and of course you have mr. neal haskell. now who didn't smell it. you may recall the one at the check cashing place, you may recall that she said she smelled garbage. tone nnlazzaro. charity beasley. clint house, he didn't smell it either. sergeant hosey, he said he smelled something. he's at the home, he's hearing lies, yet he didn't think it was sufficient

and i actually looked around to the lead detective on the case, who was behind me, yuri melich, and i think he just looked dashed >> what happened here, dan? what was your reaction? >> i was very surprised. i think -- i talked to you about the fact that i had correctly predicted that o.j. simpson would be acquitted and i was completely wrong about this case. what do i think happened? i think that the jurors simply did not believe that the cause of death has been proven. and as a result that there was reasonable doubt. those two things are connected. meaning people talk about cause of death and they talk about reasonable doubt, but those two concepts are the two key concepts here. i think in the end these jurors were not convinced that there was enough evidence that thihi was a murder at all. there was the possssility it was an accident. remember, if these jurors are 60%, 70%, 80%, even 90% sure that she did it, they shouldn't convict legally. and it seems that they didn't. >> it's such a leap that you have to take between all the naughty things that were almost proven beyond a reasona

. >> reporter: lead investigator yuri melich was calm, a far cry from the frantic voice on tape interrogating a lying casey anthony. >> what happened to -- >> i don't know. >> sure, you do. her rotten body is starting to decompose because everything you've told us we've locked you into a lie. >> to this day i'm still surprised she didn't come off -- she wouldn't tell us the truth and that's all we were after was the truth. >> reporter: prosecutors are officially declining to pursue a perjury case against cindy anthony for what she said on the stand. >> i started looking up and that prompted me to look up chloroform. >> reporter: but the legal troubles continue for casey. the people behind the massive search for caylee filed suit against her saying she admitted in court that caylee was never missing but died in the backyard pool. they want to recoup the $112,000 they spent searching for nothing. and some exclusive information this morning from the prosecutors' office about conversations the jurors were having behind closed doors. apparently, they weren't too thrilled with prosecutors saying go
