Casey/Caylee Anthony Case: Prosecutors Release Anthony Family Depositions

Orlando, FL– In the latest bombshell in the case against Casey Anthony, late this afternoon prosecutors released the depositions of Anthony family members George, Cindy and Lee.

AnthonysCourt51909

In a highly unusual move, on the eve of what is arguably one of the most anticipated motion hearings to date, we will get a glimpse of exactly what the Anthony’s will be testifying to in the murder trial.

 George Interview Here

Lee Interview Here

Cindy Interview Part I Here

Cindy Interview Part II Here

Prosecutors were previously granted a motion to receive the grand jury testimony of George Anthony, as there were discrepencies between the testimony he gave in that proceeding, and his deposition.

Additionally, this Saturday October 17, CBS show 48 Hours Mystery is airing what appears to be the Anthony’s defending their daughter, and her defense team touting the latest “stranger danger” theory.

Blinkoncrime.com will be posting the transcripts as soon as they become available.

    Gawd, busy weekend so I still have not made it through all the depos, but fell over when I saw the posts about Cindy and the round laundry bag. Holy cow! That is hey-yuge.

    Reading George’s deposition, which I’ve still not finished, I feel horrible for the poor dope. I think he’s going to get the chair, lol. What a web of lies he has caught himself up in. Gawd, it’s…cringe worthy. I did read a little of Lee’s, but just enough to see he’s still laughing like a hyena. How bizarre.

    About the Caylee photo, I’ll have to look more closely but are people thinking the upper left hand corner has Caylee’s hand or arm, or another person, or something else entirely? I’m thankfully not seeing a trunk or tire. Kid looks happy, not scared or anything. Can’t tell if a flash was used (are her pupils too big for that? would we see red eye for a garage shot? is there enough glare on her for a flash? is the illumination in the right places? can we tell were the light source is from? Gawd, we need a photo expert..!).

    Ugh … sick to my stomach … I mean really. They can’t find work and yet they use the money to take a 3-day Bahama Cruise? WTH? If you were having trouble keeping afloat because you’re out of work as George alluded to in his one interview, why wouldn’t you use that money to pay your bills instead? A vacation???? Yeah, I always take a vacation when I’m having trouble paying my bills … hack, gag, rolf. Anyone else getting nauseous over this? Couldn’t they have simply taken a little ride on their SS Caylee speedboat instead? Isn’t that allegedly paid for already by Kid Losers/Pete Benevides?

    Does anyone know what color of fabric the seats were in that Pontiac or were they vinyl or leather?. I thought Cindy mentioned it somewhere or is there a good picture of the inside of the car?.

  4. MsEnscene says:

    # 433 Keefer. I taped the program and watched it twice. I saw the Caylee Bedroom Shrine walk-through and Cindy showing the death certificate to M. Rodriguez. It was much like the initial Fox News walk with GVS back in July 2008. The death certificate appears to be on open display and Cindy says, “I never thought I’d be looking at something like this. Caylee should be here.”

    The backyard playhouse is some sort of a shrine, too, and another section of the yard kind of looks like an outdoor shrine with some sort of scroll with a quote. Like a grave, actually. George and Cindy are shown kneeling at this site. It’s all sort of odd.

    I swear, the whole house-as-shrine thing looked like an answer to those who continually question the Anthony’s loyalty and memory of Caylee. The Anthony’s are well aware of what everybody thinks of their devotion to their live daughter and Cindy in defense asks, “What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t support my daughter?” “I” being the operative word.

    Does anyone know the age of Joy Wray’s daughter? The little girl, supposedly Cindy’s new charge, sitting on the floor in Caylee’s room looks to be about seven or eight years old. The set up with the child looked very posed for the occasion. In misty, muted light, the girl appears to be just sitting quietly looking down at something in her hands. She looks respectful and serene. Cindy murmurs, “Are you all right?” Cindy is shown, at the same time as her question to the child, reading her Bible in the outdoor swing. I can see myself protesting about going in such a room to play or pose when I was a kid.

  5. suz says:

    Ok, to me, the big trouble comes in small packages photo seems like a younger version of Caylee than this still taken from the Father’s day video. Aren’t her features are more babylike than this in the Big Trouble photo?

  6. suz says:

    SuzeeB, looks like a black or dark gray interior on the Sunfire? I’m going to say fabric (looks that way to me, and also, black vinyl or leather in Florida sun equals YOUCH, and also they split open really easily).

    Kleat #440

    “UNLESS– some good interviewer (real press person, investigative journalist with a boss that allows the work and the publication) digs into this now and exposes, not JW only, but exposes how she got into that courtroom, how she planned to get herself duded up, how press was tipped to talk to her. Not just what ’she’ did, but who was ‘behind’ her. Definitely could be the joint defense team.”

    Kathi Belich all the way! Can someone please tip her off to this possibility so she can investigate further? If anyone can find the truth behind JW’s prepping, it’s Kathy B. Wonder if she’s maybe even already thought of this herself and is maybe already on it? Wouldn’t put it past her after the interview the other day by Bob Kealing … and KB was already there as well.

  8. dddeerma says:

    Momof3: wow.

    When looking at that pic, I think I see the black trunk liner thing with the white edge of the trunk on the left. Clear as a bell. There is a metallic round thing that would pull up the cover over the spare tire? And there is a wrinkled white material that looks like thick cotton…the laundry sack, and our smoking gun. Does anybody know where this picture came from? One that Casey deleted after July 3rd?

    I have goose bumps and shivers.

  9. dddeerma says:

    Okay, not the laundry bag but the pooh blanket. I enlarged it to 200% to see the details best. And Lee KNEW that it was cropped. Must go and reread that part of the Lee depo.

  10. ChicagoJudy says:

    Oh, I’m betting that Casey is NOT going to be happy right now. She couldn’t even go on her Puerto Rican vacation because of the “snotnose”. And now her parents have taken a cruise on money they earned by being famous and on television? Oh, the injustice of it all!

    makes me happy :)

  11. Chica says:

    westsidehudson?
    I have a question? what is your opinion as to how the viewers felt when they showed the death certificate? than they will find out that they are claiming there is a possiblility in their sick minds that caylee is out there held by someone?
    their little ploy is falling apart. I myself dont think they will suceed. I think they just want to make sure their daughter doesnt get the DP and if she gets LWOP hell they will just let her rot in jail… no more snacks from the comissary.

  12. Kleat says:

    Chica, you are NOT reading this post! ;) So go get well!! We will hold the Blink-barracks, no worries!!

    Take yourself off and don’t be doing the eye-strain shuffle!

  13. Kleat says:

    Brad Conway lied (not in his recent ‘no book deals’ statement) but just within the last couple of weeks, was it at the end of his presser or another media op, he said something like ‘no deals period’, he was asked about going to NY, he suggested he did not, and did not negotiate any deals for his clients. (maybe he only negotiated for one of his clients– the wife)

  14. Chica says:

    410 dee
    my dear friend thanks I am doing better! I keep my iphone velcro’d to my ear all the time for updates. its the best gift anyones ever given me. I am glad you read about the scott peterson case. Did you go to youtube and see it on american justice. It is so parallel in some ways to caseys demeanor and her family dynamics so eeerie huh. Glad you made it home. I missed our chats in the mornings late noon whatever lol… welcome home to you …

  15. columbiares says:

    # 441 Kleat- also- not sure if all saw 48 hours but Linda..? Baden also had that sea foam green on. Hmmm…you’re right..team colors. Matches the shamrock thingy. Sigh..green was my favorite color too.

    I have now seen it. That was my first thought.
    My second though was, this must be worse than I thought- dissention in the ranks for sure :)

    It seems like conway was to the anthonys what nejame refused to be.
    a puppet a fool and a liar. he fits in with that family. nejame has to much class and integrity to stoop to their level.

  17. Chica says:

    lol ok kleat but you have to keep me updated ok!!! POOF IM GONE LOL

  18. Steadychick says:

    Kleat — thanks for your “topic switch” above. I had been struck by the same thoughts about the matching outfits and similarity to interactions between Casey and Tracy. I believe Andrea is playing into Casey’s sickness, befriending her. Very transparent, IMO. And very revealing that the defense feels it has to go to this extent to get Casey to cooperate/feel in control/feel she is a member of the team that is “united” in their fight to free her. A little too reminiscent of the “united” Anthony family, if you know what I mean. The lengths these people will go to keep Casey happy!

  19. Chica says:

    OK BLINK
    IM SERIOUSLY OUT OF HERE.. SEARCHING FOR MY REMOTE FOR MY TV SOMEONE HID MY CELL PHONE…. THINK IT WAS MOM!!!

    a cruise, can we say going to hell in a hand basket, with a nice tan…better get some sun protection 85, I hear hell is HOT

  21. columbiares says:

    Sorry- that was #448..blush. Also- used to love Dr. Baden too- now I’m not so sure- guilt by association to his wife LOL

  22. dee says:

    well I am justso damn happy the A’s are relaxing and getting their heads straight and their tans on for the next photo shoot

  23. ChicagoJudy says:

    I get tired of hearing folks say that George and Cindy are in denial. They’re not in denial! They have a story to tell, a not-so-truthful-story, but one they want any potential juror to hear. They know what happened to Caylee. They know that Casey did it. There’s no denial here. Bottom line — they’re liars. If that car hadn’t been found when it was and if it didn’t smell like death, Cindy would have eventually found Casey, heard Casey’s BS story and spun her own story about why Caylee was gone. There would have been no call to law enforcement, no trial, no lawyers, no nothing!

    Denial – my ass! They know exactly what happened and they know exactly what they’re doing every time they open their mouths! (ok, maybe not George all the time; he’s not the brightest bulb in the pack.)

  24. dee says:

    i would like to know who the gold diggers traveing along with them, i said earlier I was pissed that is a total understatement, sick outraged and red to whoop A$$, they are luckliy left the coutry when I did jk

  25. Todd in Tulsa says:

    Concerning the “cruise” that the desperately-seeking-attentioneers just returned from…how interesting that Cindy is telling the WFTV interviewer to “turn the camera off”. That seems to be a blow to her MO. I guess she only likes a camera on her when it is only beneficial, whether financially or agenda-wise.

  26. dee says:

    sorry type O’s jet lag is a muther f’er

  27. SuzeeB says:

    #454 Suz

    Thanks for the link Suz. I was trying to compare the background of the photo to the fabric/seats in the car or the background of the liner in the truck.

  28. Steadychick says:

    Re: picture of Caylee. Didn’t the SA show Lee this picture right after the discussion about deleted pictures? Could this mean that they were actually able to rescue these deleted images, and perhaps showing this picture gives the defense notice of this? Lee did discuss how the image he looked at was pixalated (is this a word?) and hard to distinquish. I believe this picture was shown to all three Anthony’s, and all three claimed to have never seen it before.

    I’ve tried to zoom in/enlarge the picture. Can anyone give me better instructions on how to do this?

  29. Kleat says:

    Blink, btw, Joy Wray’s debut in front of the court and it’s media following, shows her on camera, very distracted compared to the other seated gallery members. She is yawning, rolling eyes over to look into the spaces above the activities, picking at something on herself, wiping her hand up her face over her nose, figiting. I think the Anthony’s part of the defense, worked out this little seat for her in the gallery, assisted in making sure she was the target of Mr. Bob Kealing and whomever else would stick a microphone in front of her.

    I know you don’t want to give her time here– but she’s now being ‘used’ in her role while the Judge allows the defense to continue with telling the jury pool, that we have someone to prove their client innocent. OF COURSE they do not in JW.

    But, someone should do the investigative report with JW or without her, to show what is really going on.

    The state can’t do it. Next, down the line, leaks to the jury pool about JW’s husband, it’s going to play out to the media before January, I’m speculating (only speculating but it fits with what the Anthony’s and DC have done as we’ve seen, but notably we have NOT seen much on the JW issue.

    She was Baker acted 5times.
    Her hubby was arrested for child abuse previously.
    Allegedly, her family was caught in the crossfire of a bank robbery.
    She is on probation.

    I truly believe she is a red herring. The defense will ultimately stipulate the remains were Caylee’s, the end of Joy Wray.

    Not being flip Kleat, your instincts are always spot-on.

  30. Kleat says:

    (bet JW talked to her hairdresser who did the new cut and colour)

  31. TandT says:

    What someone thought was a car in the distance on the Caylee photo, looks more to me like a buckle of something, maybe even a purse buckle?? Not sure. But it does appear to be from the interior of a dark car. IMO.

  32. Kleat says:

    justice23, yeah, you notice wftv didn’t get sucked into that like wesh did.

  33. Kleat says:

    justice23, yeah, they need a real journalist to do it like our Blink, but I do NOT suggest her wasting her time– msm needs to do this, do a good job, but get her on camera, show the change in appearance, show the interview transcripts, show her relationship to the defense, and if possible, reveal her mind a little in the interview. It was apparent to many with the ‘do it for Caylee’ statement– that came from Cindy– don’t say do it for Casey or the ‘truth’, say do it for Caylee and all of the emotional connections that might imply.

    I was in the presence of this woman previously. She stood out as “ill” in several very crowded events, thanks, every witness is relevant enough to be checked out, I just know what the defense has under their shells and it is not JW.
    B

  34. TandT says:

    OMG! I just enlarged the photo of Caylee and turned it 180 Degrees, or upside down. It makes things look more appropriate. it appears she is laying down and pointing up…not somewhat down as it would appear in the other photo. It also does seem that she is laying on something that appears to have creases from her laying down. Check this out and let me know what you think. In this position, her pointer finger would be pointing to the person taking the photo. Just check it out and see what you think.

  35. Momof3 says:

    Thankyou for looking everyone I don’t know much about computers so I don’t know how to link to the photo but it is the same one TandT posted. Thanks TandT
    wpgmouse Yes I am seeing the pic as you are too except you are seeing the thing that u think is a car and I think it is a metallic object/part of the tire. If it is a car in the background at dusk then why is there no light in the sky above her head? as this pic would have been with the window behind Caylee. I asked my husband for help in car lingo and he said what I am trying to describe is called the wheel hub that is usually hidden under hubcaps I am looking at the object as if it is the spare tire laying flat in the trunk It is behind Caylee on her right partially covered by the pooh blanket. Thanks for everyones opinions I feel better knowing there are multiple ways of looking at this pic and others might not see what I see. Although I want them to have a smoking gun, I can’t stand to think Casey took this pic of Caylee before she shut the trunk.- Momof3

  36. westsidehudson says:

    I read a bit from “Mr Ploy’s” transcript. I feel like I just stepped off of crazy train. Spinning. BIG: Casey clearly told Lee That Jesse Grund IS NOT Zanny.I hope no one else posted that before. It came as a revelation to me. It’s bizarre that that is the one of the few statements that Lee doesn’t believe that was made by Casey.

    Who is the Grandma pic at the end that Jose Baez asks Lee about in the depo? BTW, no chance of introducing Caylee’s death as an accident now. Baez goes down that road in Lee’s depo. NO. also he stated it on 48 hours. They are going for broke…Yikes

    Why is the lawnmower and grass a question? Were there grass clippings or something like that found in the car? Or in the vaccums, what?

    The prosecution asked Lee if he knew anything about a website that was started to cast suspicion on the Grunds. I think I heard this from Grund in an interview once. Anyone care to wager whether it has been traced/linked to the Anthonys? Or just some fishing?

    I believe Lee was in receipt of those gas cans that George envisioned via the green pickup seen by Brian Burner
    B

  37. Kleat says:

    Blink, agree it can not be JW, she’s just a little distractor/re-inforcer of the innocent idea and obviously there’s a big smelly red herring in this.

  38. westsidehudson says:

    Lee can’t explain why he has doubts that the remains were Caylees. He doesn’t trust that the police truly examined the flight manifest from one of the Caylee sightings. He TRUSTS the Caylee sightings, yet can’t even remember the names of the people giving tips.

    I like when the state asks him if his sister had a habit of talking “in riddles”. I wonder what that sounded like. Reading it made me spit water out, but then again reading this makes you punchy anyway.

  39. westsidehudson says:

    # 483 Please elaborate Blink. Do you believe Casey didn’t take the gas cans, or is this something after that time period. I can’t remember.
    I think she took them, and she put them back in the green pick up parked there on the 23rd, jmho
    B

  40. soulsister says:

    One Cindy’s depo: Page 385

    Because at that point I still did not connect the smell to Caylee.

    Very interesting??

  41. Momof3 says:

    Yes, TandT that is what I thought too- “it appears she is laying down and pointing up…not somewhat down as it would appear in the other photo. It also does seem that she is laying on something that appears to have creases from her laying down.” I think this is why the pic looks so strange and why Caylee looks chubbier than usual because she is lying down or on part of the tire( my toddler”s face looks chubbier when he is lying down because the chub moves towards the neck and ears.)I think the really black part in the lower part of the pic could be the tire itself maybe not the carpet alone.-Momof3

  42. Kleat says:

    Blink, I think that Ms. Lyon is building a ‘trust’ (for lack of better word) with Casey, and rightly so. I didn’t think of the sham-rock connection with that sea-foam colour, too pasty. I think more of those little pastel coloured round saucer mints that Silver reminded us of as a Woolworthian artifact. Those green garments are about spot on hue!!

  43. skeptic says:

    I am confused. Cindy was worried because bamboo leaves contain chlorophyll? Hello? all leave contain tht. I learned that in grade school. And chlorophyll and chloroform are two separat things. For someone who is intelligent to become a nurse, she should know that kind of stuff. I guess nurses in florida don’t have to take chemistry.

  44. westsidehudson says:

    Hey Give Cindy a break. Maybe when she said I’m taking a vacation FROM you guys it was the truth. The vacation probably came from the media via publishing rights so she was just ‘keepin’ it real’.

  45. hk says:

    RE: Picture

    I am not sure this picture is of Caylee lying down. If she were lying on her back, the hair would not be falling onto her face. If she were lying on her side, the portion of her shirt near the “G” would likely be hanging down and it appears to be sticking out.

    It appears to me(from the limited view)as if there may be another person cropped from that photo. If you look at the photo without rotating, it would be the top left corner.

  46. suz says:

    I guess it happens in other cases, too:

    New Mishap Revealed In Levy Case
    FBI Forensic Analyst Mistakenly Contaminates Evidence

    WASHINGTON — Attorneys handling the Chandra Levy murder case say an FBI forensic analyst mistakenly contaminated evidence from the site where the federal intern’s body was found.

    At a hearing Friday, attorneys revealed the FBI analyst mistakenly contaminated the evidence with some of her own DNA. She has since been fired.

    It was the most recent mishap in a case riddled with mistakes since Levy disappeared in May 2001. A federal inmate, Ingmar Guandique, was charged with Levy’s murder this year.

  47. westsidehudson says:

    It’s funny how after pointing the finger at Jesse Grund ad nauseum . He tells that state that Jesse is a “nice guy”.

  48. westsidehudson says:

    My last post, I was referring to Lee.

  49. suz says:

    Ok, the cruise is making it harder to muster up sympathy for the Ants. Must be a last hurrah before they all go to jail. Why didn’t they think to fake falling off the boat like Olivia Newton John’s old beau (or gentleman, as the Ants hilariously call the scuzzy boys Casey hooks up with) did?

  50. OnASeriousNote says:

    I am not kidding!!

    I downloaded the pic to a word doc. Enlarged to 200%. When I clicked on the picture, a “picture toolbar” came up and I was playing with the contrast/color/brightness.

    In the upper left corner is a small bright area, but IMMEDIATELY to the right of that is (to me), an outline of a face (Casey’s???)–eyes, nose, mouth–almost like it’s in a rear view mirror.

    I wish I could download it–it’s plain as day on my copy.

    Somebody tell me they see it too, PLEASE!!!

    It’s freaking me out a bit…I’m not sure whether to put my drink down, or fix a stronger one.
