Is Casey keeping Baez's seat warm while he is questioning? Is she trying to look like part of the defense team? Every time he gets up, she moves to his chair.

Thanks. Not 'available' huh? I thought Bloise (sp?) was a CSI in Orange County?

Maybe he was "too busy" to appear yesterday!

I don't know about anyone else, but Baez is just about putting me to sleep.

Does the pros and the judge keep "helping" Baez so there is no mistrial or reason for verdict to be overturned?

Baez is trying to get sexual abuse on the record without putting Casey on the stand.

Casey Anthony trial: FBI witness said no blood, DNA found in car, clothes

11:34 a.m. EDT, June 16, 2011

FBI examiner Heather Seubert is called as the second witness by Casey Anthony's defense team. Seubert explained her training and role with the FBI's lab in Quantico, Va. as an expert in serology, blood serum and other bodily fluids such as semen, saliva, etc. She now works in the firearm tool marks unit.

She was in the forensic DNA analysis unit at the FBI in 2008 when she examined evidence in the Casey Anthony case.

Seubert explained that mitochondrial DNA typically examined in bone, hair, and teeth. Nuclear DNA tests performed on tissue, and bodily fluids like blood and semen.

Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton objected when defense attorney Jose Baez started asking Seubert about what she received during her work in the case.

Seubert testified that she didn't find blood or DNA from samples pulled from Casey Anthony's car, particularly carpeting and spare tire covers, and the spare tire well.

She also found no blood markers in stains from various items of clothing collected from the Anthony home and from those belonging to Casey Anthony. Seubert explained DNA was found on the duct tape, but it belonged to a lab technician at Quantico.

All of the Anthony household's DNA was excluded from the sample.

CSI testimony Casey Anthony's defense team called Orange County Sheriff's Office crime scene investigator Gerardo Bloise to the stand. Bloise, a previous witness for the prosecution, explained how he examined the car Casey Anthony's former boyfriend Tony Lazzaro.

Baez asked him about the tools he used to search for blood, including cameras, specialized lights and other devices.

The investigator also inspected clothing from Casey Anthony's bedroom at her Hopespring Drive home in east Orange County.

He also checked the living room, garage, and vehicle. Bloise testified that he found a pair of Casey Anthony's pants during a search of her room in August 2008.

He understood she wore the pants on June 16, 2008, the day Caylee was last seen by her family members. They had no stains. However, during cross examination, Bloise said he had learned that the pants had been washed by Casey Anthony's mother Cindy Anthony.

State prosecutors rested their case Wednesday morning. In the last three weeks, they've called more than 30 witnesses and introduced hundreds of pieces of evidence. It's unknown if Casey Anthony will take the stand. Anthony, 25, is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie in the summer of 2008.

The toddler's remains were found in December of that year in woods near the family's east Orange County home.

During opening statements, defense attorney Jose Baez claimed Caylee drowned in the family pool, that Anthony's father helped dispose of the body, and that a meter reader found the remains but moved them to the woods.

The defense has made several motions for mistrial, all of which have been denied by Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry. On Wednesday, the defense also requested that Perry acquit Anthony.

The judge also denied that motion. Check back for updates.

Something Jeff Ashton objected to.

What happened afterward was very interesting - Judge Perry had to intervene and settle Jeff down.

CSI wrote:What happened afterward was very interesting - Judge Perry had to intervene and settle Jeff down.

As Baez tried again to ask this question prosecutor Jeff A. Objected to the question judge Perry over ruled the question Baez once again changed the way he asked this question.

It remained unclear why a paternity test was asked for lee anthony and who made that request from the FBI.

Odd that George also took a paternity test yet baez didn't talk or mention George since George is the one baez accused of molestation.

Will lee testify that what he was doing to Casey was what he learned from George ??
If so this would help the defense claims and would help Casey not take the stand.

best exchange of the day Baez to Bloise: "And do you talk when you are in the lab? Bloise: "No" Baez: "And why not?" Bloise: "Because I'm by myself" and everyone (even the judge) started laughing.

George Anthony Calls 911 On Bounty Hunter
Leonard Padilla Paid Casey Anthony's $500K Bond

POSTED: Thursday, June 16, 2011
UPDATED: 3:19 pm EDT June 16, 2011

ORLANDO, Fla. -- George Anthony called the Orange County Sheriff's Office Wednesday night because the bounty hunter that repeatedly bailed his daughter out of jail was in front of his house with a news crew.

According to the Sheriff's Office call log, Anthony believed he had an order to keep bounty hunter Leonard Padilla away from his home and after contacting his attorney, he called 911 to report that Padilla was in front of his home on Hopespring Drive.

Padilla paid Casey Anthony's $500,00 bond to get her out of jail on child neglect charges in 2008. In recorded jail conversations, Casey Anthony told her parents she needed to get out of jail to help search for her daughter, Caylee.

Padilla has since had a falling out with the Anthony family.

The Sheriff's Office said Padilla and the news crew left the area when deputies arrived.

Casey Anthony, 25, is currently on trial on first-degree murder charges in the death of Caylee. Crews searched for Caylee beginning in July 2008 when she was reported missing. Casey Anthony told law enforcement her toddler had been kidnapped by her nanny.

Caylee's remains were found in December 2008.

In opening statements, the defense said Caylee drowned on June 16, 2008.

Padilla is not on the witness list for the state or the defense.

Why do you think Baez brought George into his drowning theory? Would it have not been better if he said Casey alone panicked?

Well...............he either hates George with a passion for trying to talk Casey into getting a new attorney, and he wants to get back at him for that, or........

he thought it was better saying someone other than Casey dumped Caylee's body. If he was planning on using George for that part, I cannot fathom why on earth he brought Roy Kronk into this scenario, unless...........

it was to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, b/c he is totally ticked off at Kronk for finding Caylee to begin with.

I don't have a clue!!!!!
