Today was day 30 of testimony and the defense still has half a dozen witnesses to call.
George Anthony took the stand today to deny his alleged affair with River Cruz or Krystal Hollaway. He was able to say that this woman had two names he knew her by and had a record of fraud. Surprising what the judge allows the Anthony family to get away with. Most witnesses give yes or no answers but the Anthony family is different.
Did George seem believable? Nah, not really. He admits to going to her home alone to comfort her but denies any romantic involvement or telling her anything about Caylee's death being an accident.
Does the jury wonder about George's credibility? Gee, I wonder too.
Cindy Anthony was called to the stand to ask if she had sent her private investigators to search where Caylee's body was eventually found. She denied sending them. She denied arguing with her son Lee about it. Then Lee was called to the stand.
Lee Anthony, who is very clearly damaged, contradicted what Cindy said. (Cindy caught in a lie again) Lee (again) stated that he remembers the conversation clearly because until his mother had gotten a tip from a psychic, he thought the family was holding out hope that Caylee was alive.
Again Lee felt "left out" and decided to return to work. He also admitted that at that time he doubted whether Casey had been telling the truth about what happened to Caylee.
Poor Lee Anthony. This is a guy who needs some heavy-duty therapy and I sure hope he gets some before he reproduces and continues the family dysfunction.
Ray Kronk, the meter reader who found Caylee's remains was next up. Although Cheney Mason tried to insinuate that Kronk had seen the skull previously and tried to make the case that he was interested in the case because of a possible reward, I don't think he accomplished his claims.
Yes, Ray Kronk is a weird guy but I don't think he had anything to do with the defense's claims that he hid the body.
At the end of the day, Jesse Grund, Casey's former boyfriend and the one she claimed was Caylee's baby daddy until Jesse got wise and had a paternity test done, testified (without the jury present) that Casey had talked about sexual abuse.
The defense, as usual, is all over the place. Their witnesses mostly seem to be better for the prosecution than for the defense.
Will Casey Anthony testify? I doubt it. Deep down she has to know that she is a liar. She probably is believing that she is easily going to walk.
She just might. The defense is throwing stuff all over the place. Yes, it is easy for them to show the dysfunction in the Anthony family. Every family has their secrets. Surely there are more secrets then will come out in this trial. BUT, and this is a big but, how are they going to prove Casey was sexually assaulted and so abused by her father?
Casey is a liar. George is a liar. Cindy is a liar. You cannot believe anyone in this family.
The bottom line still is (and if only the jury looked at the defense's ENTIRE theory) there is no way that George Anthony wouldn't have called 911 if Caylee accidentally drowned.
