Casey's Brother Lee Anthony, 28, Testifies Today 6/1/2011

Lee Anthony is called by the prosecution today to testify about his knowledge of events. He was at the family home at his Mother's request when Cindy Anthony brought home Casey at the end of the 31 day period, made the final 911 call, and before and after detectives arrived. He stated that his mother told him that she had asked Casey, "Why won't you let us see Caylee?" and that his mother told him that Casey's response was, which he was about to repeat. (An objection was initially made about this testimony citing the "hearsay" rule, followed by a sidebar. The judge overruled the objection since Lee had reported this conversation with his mother, as he recalled it, to Det. Edwards, and it was part of an official police report. The question about Casey's response to her Mother's question was then rephrased. Lee was asked specifically, "What did you tell Det. Edwards that Casey replied to your Mother's question? He replied that his mother told him Casey said, in response to being asked, why won't you let us see Casey, "Maybe because I'm a spiteful bitch."

Lee is then asked by the prosecution, Do you recall what your sister told you when you asked her, "What's going on?" He couldn't recall the exact words so was shown his 2008 statements to police. The prosecution asked again, Now that you've seen [your statement], do you recall what your sister told you? Lee replied, "She told me that my mother had, numerous times, thrown it in my sister's face that she- that Casey- was an unfit mother for Caylee. And she added, "Maybe I am." Lee states that he went on to say that his mother also had said that "Caylee was a mistake, but a great mistake or the best mistake Casey's ever made."

Prosecutor also asks Lee if he recalls getting frustrated with his sister at this point. "Very," Lee replies. When asked why he said, "Because nothing was making sense to me. Why couldn't we go get Caylee? There's no reason to fight with mom at this point.

Lee says he asked Casey, What is the last place you remember seeing Caylee? And that she replied, The Sawgrass Apartments. She also told her brother that she was trying to find Caylee herself and that was why she hadn't called the police.

It appears that Casey tends to remember the lies she tells and repeat the same lies to all parties who ask her the same questions.
