DOESN'T EVALUATE THE EVIDENCE RETRIEVED FROM A CELL PHONE BUT EVIDENCE OBTAINED FROM A COMPUTER SHE WILL ASSIST IN THE DECIPHERING OF WHAT IS KEY, CRUCIAL OR NIL IMPORTANCE

RECESS TILL 10:45AM

NCASE ALLOWS HER TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT THE USER SEES ON THE COMPUTER HARD DRIVE HP COMPUTER HAD TWO USERS OWNER/CASEY SHE WAS INSTRUCTED TO FIND ANY INFORMATION ON ZANNY AND DETERMINE IF THE COMPUTER WILL LEAD THEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF CAYLEE IN TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES SHE DID FIND REFERENCES TO ZANNY-- PEOPLE SEARCH, CLASSMATE REUNION, GOOGLE SEARCHES, MYSPACE ALL WERE REFERENCES TO ZANNY BUT ALL OF THEM TOOK PLACE 07/16/08

ONE USER WAS PASSWORD PROTECTED RICO23 WAS THE PASSWORD; PASSWORD WAS SET EARLIER IN THE YEAR OF 2008 AROUND MARCH COPIED ALL OF THE INTERNET HISTORY AND TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES AND COOKIES ONTO A FORENSIC APP CALLED NETANALYSIS AND WAS ABLE TO VIEW THEM (4 & 1/2 YEARS WORTH) ANYTHING DONE ON THE COMPUTER IS USER SENSITIVE IT WILL STORE WHAT USER ACCOUNT IS ACTIVE AT THE TIME

WAS TOLD TO SEE IF ANY SEARCHES TOOK PLACE ON THE COMPUTER FOR THE WORD CHLOROFORM BOTH SPELLED CORRECTLY AND INCORRECTLY AND CAME UP WITH RESULTS THROUGH NETANALYSIS ON BOTH SPELLINGS FILES WERE KEPT IN UNALLOCATED SPACE WAS ABLE TO RECOVER A COMPLETE INTERNET HISTORY ON THE WORD CHLOROFORM

RECEIVED A COMPUTER BELONGING TO RICARDO MORALES ON OCTOBER 28TH, 2008  WAS ASKED TO DO KEYWORD SEARCHES AND GRAPHIC FILES SEARCH OF PICTURES OF CAYLEE WEARING A PINK SHIRT; WAS SHOWN TO THE COURT A PICTURE OF CAYLEE WITH A BLACK EYE (CASEY SHOW'S NO EMOTION HAS HEAD DOWN NOT EVEN LOOKING AT MONITOR) ONCE THE PHOTO IS ADDED TO GRAPHIC FILES THERE IS A WAY TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHEN THE PHOTO IS TAKEN BY A PROGRAM THAT UPLOADS THE PHOTOS FROM THE CAMERA TO THE COMPUTER ITSELF

PROSECUTION CLAIMS THAT IN THE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BLACK EYE CAYLEE ANTHONY WAS WEARING A PINK SHIRT THEY SAY THAT WHEN CAYLEE ANTHONY WAS FOUND DEAD SHE WAS IN A PINK SHIRT -- SHOWS NOT MUCH TIME PASSED FROM THE PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN TO TIME TODDLER WAS MURDERED

SIDEBAR

THE 2ND PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY A CANNON POWERSHOT SD70 PHOTO WAS TAKEN 03/19/08 THERE WERE TWO USER PROFILES ON THE COMPUTER BUT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ONLY TWO PEOPLE USED THE COMPUTER AND THERE ARE VARIOUS TYPES OF INTERNET SEARCHES ON BOTH PROFILES THERE COULD BE MULTIPLE PEOPLE USING ONE PROFILE IF THE COMPUTER HIBERNATES PASSWORD MIGHT HAVE TO BE RE-ENTERED BUT SHE DIDN'T ASCERTAIN THAT ON THIS PARTICULAR COMPUTER (HP) BUT SHE TESTIFIED THAT SHE FOUND A KEYWORD SEARCH FOR THE WORD CHLOROFORM AROUND 08/20/08 THE EXACT TIME AND DATE WOULD BE INCORPORATED IN THE DATABASE THAT ONLY HER SUPERVISOR REVIEWS

NEVER SAW THE CANNON POWERSHOT CAMERA SO SHE DOESN'T KNOW IF THE TIME OF THE PHOTOS AND THE DATE ALSO ARE EVEN CORRECT NOT EVERY COMPUTER OR CAMERA SHE INSPECTS HAS THE CORRECT DATE, MONTH, TIME AND YEAR RAN SEARCHES ON RICARDO MORALES' COMPUTER FOR CHLOROFORM SHE INDICATED THAT THERE WERE NO PHOTOGRAPHS OF CHLOROFORM OR WEB PAGES ON HIS COMPUTER

SHOWS PHOTO OF COUPLE AT DINNER TABLE WITH SAYING "WIN HER OVER WITH CHLOROFORM" WASN'T AWARE THAT THIS WAS POSTED ON RICARDO MORALES' MYSPACE ACCOUNT -- INDICATES TO HER THAT THE GUY IN THE PHOTO IS TRYING TO REACH HIS ARM AROUND THE WOMAN IN THE PHOTO WITH A WHITE CLOTH IN HIS HAND TOWARD HER FACE

SAID THAT SINCE THIS PHOTO WASN'T ON HIS COMPUTER HE COULD'VE HAD IT THERE BEFORE SHE OBTAINED THE COMPUTER OR HE COULD'VE UPLOADED IT TO HIS ACCOUNT ON ANOTHER COMPUTER BUT BASED ON THE UNALLOCATED SPACE ON HIS COMPUTER SHE DIDN'T FIND IT

IF YOU ARE DOING A KEYWORD SEARCH THE PIXELS (WORDS INSERTED IN PHOTOS) EMBEDDED IN THE PHOTO WOULDN'T BE ADMITTED OR IDENTIFIED BY THE KEYWORD SEARCH NONE OF THE INTERNET SEARCHES, INTERNET HISTORY OR UNALLOCATED SPACE TURNED UP SEARCH HITS FOR THE WORD CHLOROFORM IN RICARDO MORALES' COMPUTER

LUNCH TILL 1:30PM

NEXT TO THE STAND IS KEVIN STINGER

SERGEANT WITH COMPUTER CRIMES WITH OCSO FOR 25 YEARS WORKED WITH COMPUTER CRIMES SINCE 2002 EXAMINES PEOPLE'S COMPUTERS FOR EVIDENTIARY PURPOSES FORENSIC COMPUTER ANALYST TESTIFIED IN BOTH STATE AND NATIONWIDE TRIALS FOR FORENSIC COMPUTER ANALYSIS AS AN EXPERT

SUPERVISOR OF MRS. OSBORNE AT TIME OF CAYLEE'S DISAPPEARANCE AS PEER REVIEW IN CASE MRS. OSBORNE OVERLOOKED SOMETHING THAT SHE DIDN'T NOTICE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE KEY WORD SEARCH FOR CHLOROFORM ON THE HP DESKTOP COMPUTER HE THEN MADE SURE THAT HE PRESERVED THE SEARCH HIT FOR THE WORD CHLOROFORM

UNALLOCATED SPACE IS LIKE A LIBRARY BACK WHEN THEY HAD CARD CATALOG WHERE YOU WOULD LOOK UP YOUR BOOK THEN YOU WOULD GO AND FIND THE BOOK ON THE SHELF-- THE COMPUTER HAS TO LOOK UP THE NAME OF SOMETHING BEFORE IT CAN GO AND SEARCH FOR IT WHEREVER IT MAY BE ON THE HARD DRIVE

FIREFOX WAS THE INTERNET BROWSER USED TO SEARCH FOR CHLOROFORM ON THE HP DESKTOP COMPUTER NORMALLY IT DOESN'T DELETE SEARCH HISTORY AUTOMATICALLY USUALLY THE INTERNET HISTORY HAS TO BE DELETED MANUALLY EVEN WHEN YOU DELETE SOMETHING FROM YOUR COMPUTER IT IS STILL THERE UNTIL THE PLACE THAT THE DELETED FILE IS STORED IS USED FOR ANOTHER PURPOSE

HE IDENTIFIED WHERE THE FILE STARTED AND ENDED AND THEN HE WAS ABLE TO EXTRACT THE CONTEXT AND RESTORE IT BY PLACING IT IN A FILE -- ONE THAT HE CREATES-- THEN HE CAN OPEN THE FILE AND REVIEW IT'S CONTENTS AND INTERPERET THE DATA THROUGH FORENSIC APPS

WAS ABLE TO USE AN APP CALLED CACHEBACK THAT TELLS HIM WHEN THE SEARCH OF INTERNET HISTORY TOOK PLACE, HOW LONG IT WAS VIEWED AND WHEN IT ENDED TOOK PLACE 03/31/08 - 04/02/08 FROM 03/24/08 - 03/27/08 THE INTERNET HISTORY FOUND NOTHING BUT SEARCH HITS FOR CHLOROFORM SHOWN REPORT FROM 03/17 AND RECOGNIZES IT FROM CACHEBACK SHOWN REPORT FROM 03/21 AND RECOGNIZES IT FROM CACHEBACK

SEARCHES FOR CHLOROFORM WERE NOT FOUND ON ANY OTHER COMPUTER JUST THE HP DESKTOP COMPUTER DOESN'T KNOW WHEN THE FILE WAS DELETED OR WHY IT WAS DELETED OR WHO DELETED IT DELETING THE INTERNET HISTORY AND COOKIES HELPS CLEAN OUT THE COMPUTER AND MAKE IT FASTER IN SPEED-- SEARCHES TOOK PLACE BEFORE CAYLEE WENT MISSING AND THE SEARCHES WERE FOR THE WORD CHLOROFORM AND HOW TO MAKE CHLOROFORM

WAS NOT ABLE TO RETRIEVE THE PAGE FROM UNALLOCATED SPACE AND RECONSTRUCT THE PAGE SOMEONE DID A SPECIFIC SEARCH ON THE COMPUTER FOR THE WORD CHLOROFORM AND THEN AFTER 10 SECS. WENT TO MYSPACE SHOWN PICTURE OF COUPLE WITH SAYING "WIN HER OVER WITH CHLOROFORM" WASN'T AWARE THAT IT WAS ON RICARDO MORALES' MYSPACE

COULDN'T RECONSTRUCT THE PAGE BECAUSE WHERE YOU GO ON THE COMPUTER IS STORED ONE PLACE AND WHAT YOU SEE ON A WEBPAGE IS STORED SOMEWHERE ELSE AND WHEN YOU DELETE THE FILES OF WHAT YOU SEE BY CLEANING OUT THE CACHE THERE IS NO WAY TO RECONSTRUCT WHAT HAS BEEN VIEWED

THE SPECIFIC SEARCH FOR CHLOROFORM CAME FROM GOOGLE BUT HE CANNOT SAY WHAT WAS EXACTLY ON THE PAGE BEING VIEWED

NEXT TO THE WITNESS STAND IS JOHN BRADLEY

SELF EMPLOYED CYQUEST (SOFTWARE THAT HE HAS CREATED FORMER POLICE OFFICER FROM CANADA) HAS TESTIFIED IN CANADA AS AN EXPERT WITNESS IN COMPUTER FORENSICS AND WITH HIS COMPANY HE HAS TESTIFIED IN TORONTO AS AN EXPERT WITNESS IN COMPUTER FORENSICS

JUDGE ENTERS HIM AS AN EXPERT WITNESS IN FORENSIC COMPUTER ANALYSIS

OWNER AND CREATOR OF THE SOFTWARE CACHEBACK -- CACHE IS A SERIES OF FOLDERS TO MAKE IT FASTER AND EASIER TO USE THE INTERNET THAT HOLD COPIED FILES OF WEBPAGES AND INTERNET BROWSING HISTORY AND KEYWORD SEARCHES

THE SOFTWARE ALLOTS FOR DIFFERENT TIME ZONES AND RANGES TEACHES OTHERS HOW TO USE HIS SOFTWARE CORRECTLY SO THAT WAY THEY HAVE THE BROADEST SCOPE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM THE HARD DRIVE AND CACHES OF INTERNET BROWSERS FROM COMPUTERS USED FOR EVIDENTIARY PURPOSES HE IS A GUEST SPEAKER AT CONFERENCES ABOUT COMPUTER FORENSICS

TAUGHT MEMBERS OF OCSO HIS ADVANCED COURSE FOR CACHEBACK MET STINGER AND STINGER ASKED HIM TO LOOK AT A FILE FROM A THUMBDRIVE THE INFORMATION FROM THE FILE WAS CONTIGUOUS  INFORMATION -- THE BLOCK OF DATA WAS FROM FIREFOX 2 WITHIN THE BODY OF THE DATA HE RECOVERED ONLY ONE WORD OF IMPORTANCE "CHLOROFORM"

COPIED THE WORK FROM THE THUMBDRIVE ONTO THE FORENSIC HARD DRIVE THAT HE HAD THERE AT THE CONFERENCE AND WORKED FROM THERE AFTER HE GAVE THE THUMBDRIVE BACK TO STINGER TOOK HIS TIME AND WENT LOOKING THROUGH THE WHOLE FILE AND FOUND THE IMPORTANT KEYWORD "CHLOROFORM" THE FILE WAS 3.2 Mb A BYT BEING ONLY ONE CHARACTER

HIS BELIEF AT THAT TIME DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE FILE THERE HAD TO BE AN AMOUNT OF INACTIVITY TO KEEP THE FILE FROM BEING OVERWRITTEN BECAUSE IT WAS FOUND IN UNALLOCATED SPACE WAS IMPRESSED TO FIND THAT THE FILE WAS STILL RECOVERABLE HE CANNOT SAY WHEN THE ORIGINAL FILE WAS DELETED THE BROWSER WILL NOT DELETE ALL THE BROWSING HISTORY ONCE IT'S THRESHOLD IS MET

HE CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS DELETED MANUALLY HIS NEXT STEP WAS TO RUN IT THROUGH A NUMBER OF TESTS TO FIND OUT WHY IT COULDN'T BE RECODED SO OVER THE NEXT 3 DAYS HE LOOKED AT THE INFORMATION TO SEE IF THERE WOULD BE ANY WAY TO DECODE IT AND WAS SUCCESSFULLY ABLE TO DECODE THE INFORMATION THROUGH THE SOFTWARE HE WAS ABLE TO FIX ALL THE ANAMOLIES AND RUN IT THROUGH REPEATED EXTENSIVE TESTS TO CORRECT IT

SHOWN REPORTS OF CACHEBACK REPORTS OF INFORMATION FOUND AND RECOGNIZES THEM FROM 03/17/08 THE CACHEBACK REPORT SHOWS HOW MANY TIMES A URL WAS VISITED 92 TIMES FROM THE SCOPE OF DATA THAT HE EXTRACTED WHEN SEARCHED ON GOOGLE THE WORD CHLOROFORM WAS MISSPELLED AS C-H-L-O-R-A-F-O-R-M

THERE WERE COMPUTER SEARCHES FOR CHLOROFORM ON GOOGLE AND WIKIPEDIA FOUND SEARCHES ON THE COMPUTER THROUGH GOOGLE AND WIKIPEDIA FOR: CHLOROFORM, ALCOHOL, INHALATION, PEROXIDE,  SELF DEFENSE, SHOVEL, DEATH, HAND TO HAND COMBAT, HEAD INJURIES, MIDDLE MENINGEAL ARTERY, RUPTURED SPLEEN, CHEST TRAUMA, INTERNAL BLEEDING, HYPOVOLEMIA

RECESS FOR 15 MINUTES

HAD A BOOKMARK ON THE COMPUTER FOR CHEMISTRY CHLOROFORM HAD A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE COMPUTER FOR "HOW TO MAKE CHLOROFORM" HAD A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "HOW TO MAKE WEAPONS OUT OF HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS" GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "NECK BREAKING"

WAS NOT ASKED TO DO ANY OTHER INSPECTIONS OF DATA OR MATERIAL FOR THIS PARTICULAR INVESTIGATION ORIGINALLY APPROACHED BY STINGER BECAUSE HE WAS USING BRADLEY'S SOFTWARE AND HE COULDN'T GET IT TO WORK CORRECTLY SO HE WAS HERE ON A CONFERENCE AND HE STAYED UP ALL NIGHT TO FIX THE PROBLEM PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER FOR HIM WHICH TOOK HIM A FEW NIGHTS COMPLETED THE DECODING FOR HIM WAS ASKED TO TESTIFY IN THIS CASE AND HE MIGHT GET PAID FOR THIS CASE AND HIS TESTIMONY BUT THE MONETARY SIGNIFICANCE DOESN'T APPEAL TO HIM

USES THIS CASE FOR PROMOTION OF HIS PRODUCT ON HIS WEBSITE BAEZ WANTS TO KNOW HOW LONG A PERSON WAS LOOKING AT A WEBSITE ON 03/17/08 VISITED A PAGE FOR 7 SECONDS BAEZ WANTS TO KNOW HOW LONG A PERSON WAS LOOKING AT ANOTHER WEBSITE (BOTH WEBSITES DEALT WITH CHLOROFORM) AND HE SAID ONE SECOND WEBPAGES FOR FACEBOOK AND MYSPACE WERE BROUGHT UP AND OPENED A LOT IN THE BROWSING HISTORY OF THE HP DESKTOP COMPUTER

MORE TIME WAS SPENT ON THE 11 AFFOREMENTIONED GOOGLE AND WIKIPEDIA SEARCHES THAN WAS SPENT ON CHLOROFORM SEARCHES THE LONGEST SOMEONE SPENT LOOKING AT CHLOROFORM WAS 2 MINUTES 25 SECONDS THE MAJORITY OF THEM RELATED TO CHLOROFORM WERE ONLY VIEWED FOR A MINUTE THERE ARE ONLY LIMITED THINGS HE CAN TELL FROM THE CACHEBACK REPORT CANNOT TESTIFY AS TO HOW LONG SOMEONE SPENT ON THE COMPUTER ON EACH PAGE OR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MARCH STARTED DECODING THE INFORMATION FOR STINGER IN DECEMBER OF 2009

INDICATED THAT A LOT OF WEBSITES ARE DYNAMIC NOT STATIC THEY CHANGE PERIODICALLY AND DRAMATICALLY OVER TIME CANNOT TESTIFY ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THINGS WERE PRINTED OVER THE INTERNET FOR LATER REVIEW CANNOT TELL BASED OFF OF THE INTERNET HISTORY WHAT WAS ON A WEBPAGE 18 MONTHS EARLIER HE WASN'T GIVEN ANY TIME PARAMETERS HE WAS JUST ASKED TO DECODE THE ENTIRE SEARCH HISTORY WEBSITE DEALING WITH HOW TO MAKE CHLOROFORM WAS VISITED APPROXIMATELY 84 TIMES (DO THE MATH IF SHE VISITED THE SITE AND ONLY LOOKED AT THE PAGE FOR ONE MINUTE AS PREVIOUSLY HEARD AND SHE VISITED THE SITE 84 TIMES-- 84 x 1 = 84 MINUTES)

WAS SHOWN A COPY OF A REPORT SUBMITTED BY SOMEONE ELSE FOR CYSEBOT.COM THE WEBSITE WAS VISITED PROSECUTION OBJECTS AND JUDGE SUSTAINS BAEZ STILL CONTINUES TO QUESTION WITNESS ABOUT REPORT FROM SOMEONE ELSE

JUDGE CALLS IMMEDIATE SIDEBAR

COURT IS RECESSED UNTIL 9AM

PROSECUTION STARTED OFF BY BRINGING IN THE TESTIMONY OF A SECOND DOG HANDLER WHO IS FAR MORE CREDIBLE AND RELIABLE THAN THE PREVIOUS TESTIMONY OF THE HANDLER OF GERUS THIS DOG DEFINITELY KNEW HIS STUFF AND MADE FAR LESS MISTAKES THAN GERUS DID NEXT THEY STARTED FOCUSING ON THE COMPUTER FORENSICS THE EVIDENCE JUST KIND OF FLOWED IN AND DROWNED CASEY LIKE A RIVER OVER EXPANDING THE BANKS WHAT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME IN THIS CASE IS THAT THE PROSECUTION DELIVERED MORE OF WHAT THEY PROMISED IN OPENING ARGUMENT AND THAT CASEY SHOWN NO EMOTION NOR INTEREST IN THE CASE BEING PRESENTED AGAINST HER SHOWING AND PROVING MORE HER GUILT AND PRE-MEDITATION THIS HAS DEFINITELY BEEN ONE TRIAL OF NOTHING BUT EVIDENCE STACKED AGAINST HER IT MAKES YOU ANXIOUS TO FIND OUT WHAT DEFENSE HAS GOT TO SHOW AND PROVE TO DISCREDIT THE PROSECUTION'S CASE AND AT THIS POINT I CAN HONESTLY TELL YOU IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO SUCCEED AT THIS.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO LEAVE ME YOUR OPINIONS AND COMMENTS

YESTERDAY THE WRONG EVIDENCE WAS ADMITTED AND TESTIFIED ON IN COURT SAID THE MIXUP HAPPENED BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HANDLE EVIDENCE ALL THAT FREQUENTLY

RECESS UNTIL 10:20AM

NEXT TO THE STAND IS DR. RICKENBACH

WORKS FOR THE FBI AS A FORENSIC CHEMIST 15 YEARS TESTIFIED AS AN EXPERT WITNESS IN 15 CASES JUDGE ACCEPTS HIM AS EXPERT IN FORENSIC CHEMISTRY RECEIVED ITEMS FROM CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY IN JULY

ASKED TO INSPECT THE ITEMS TO DETECT CHLOROFORM DID A VISUAL EXAMINATION AND NOTED THE CHARACTERISTICS AND TO IDENTIFY STAINS AND PLACED THEM IN STEEL CONTAINERS AND RAN TESTS ON THEM PIECE OF FABRIC FROM SPARE TIRE COVERWELL WAS THE FIRST PIECE OF EVIDENCE HE RECIEVED

OPENED THE CAN AND OBSERVED IT TOOK A CUTTING OF THE STAIN AND SEALED IT THEN SENT IT FOR TESTING ASHTON ASKED WHAT ODOR IF ANY DID HE IDENTIFY WHEN THE CAN WAS OPENED

BAEZ CALLS SIDEBAR

RESIDUES OF CHLOROFORM WERE PRESENT ON THE PIECE OF SPARE TIRE COVERWELL PIECE OF SPARE TIRE COVERWELL TAKEN WITHOUT STAIN AND RESIDUES OF CHLOROFORM WERE FOUND CHEMICAL CONSISTENT WITH CHLOROFORM WAS PRESENT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TRUNK LINER RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUNK LINER CHEMICAL CONSISTENT WITH CHLOROFORM WAS PRESENT

GCMS THEY USED TO FIND THE DETECTION OF CHEMICALS AND IS VERY SENSITIVE SAID THAT HE HAD RESIDUES OF CHLOROFORM BECAUSE IT APPEARS NORMALLY IN LIQUID FORM BUT THESE THAT HE RECEIVED WERE DRY BAEZ CLAIMS THAT THE CHLOROFORM PRESENT WAS FROM THE DETERGENT AND FROM DRINKING WATER AND HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS FOUND LOW AMOUNTS OF CHLOROFORM IN HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS SIMILAR TO THE EVIDENCE TAKEN FROM THE TRUNK

SAID THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS QUALITATIVE TELLS YOU WHAT'S THERE AND QUANTITATIVE TELLS YOU HOW MUCH

Q22-SPARE TIRE COVER-LOW LEVELS-5% COMPARED TO STANDARD
Q23-SPARE TIRE COVER-LOW LEVELS-.01% COMPARED TO STANDARD
Q24-LEFT SIDE TRUNK LINER-1 OUT OF 2 TESTS PICKED UP THEREFORE CONSISTENT WITH CHLOROFORM
Q25-RIGHT SIDE TRUNK LINER-1 OUT OF 2 TESTS PICKED UP THEREFORE CONSISTENT WITH CHLOROFORM
Q44-PIECE OF SPARE TIRE COVER-SIGNIFICANTLY LOW LEVELS-1% COMPARED TO STANDARD
Q45-PIECE OF SPARE TIRE COVER-SIGNIFICANTLY LOW LEVELS-.2% COMPARED TO STANDARD

SIDEBAR CALLED FROM PROSECUTION AFTER BAEZ ASKS-- DID YOU TEST THE STEERING WHEEL COVER FOR CHLOROFORM

THE LEVELS OF CHLOROFORM HE FOUND IN THE TRUNK ARE CONSISTENT WITH LEVELS IN HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS DOESN'T HAVE A BROAD SPECTRUM ON HOW MUCH CHLOROFORM IS HIGH OR LOW IN A CARPET SAMPLE BASED ON HOW VOLITILE CHLOROFORM IS HE WAS SURPRISED TO EVEN FIND CHLOROFORM ON THE CARPET SAMPLES AND FROM THE CANISTER

100 PPM (PARTS PER MILLION) OF CHLOROFORM IS THE STATE GUIDE(STANDARD) FOR TESTING SO NOT TOO MUCH IS ON THE POSITIVE CONTROL SAID THAT THE LEVELS COULD'VE BEEN LOW DUE TO CHLOROFORM POSSIBLY EVAPORATING A LITTLE BIT BEFORE IT WAS SEALED HE WOULD EXPECT LESS CHLOROFORM ON SOMETHING EXPOSED TO AIR VS. SOMETHING SEALED IN A CAN

NEVER TESTED FOR CHLOROFORM IN AIR SAMPLES AND WOULDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH OR LOW OR SHOCKING BECAUSE HE'S MOSTLY TESTED FOR CHLOROFORM IN LIQUID SAMPLES

SAID THAT IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR HIM TO TRY TO GIVE SPECIFIC AMOUNTS DUE TO THESE SAMPLES BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE THE JURY FALSE INFORMATION DOESN'T HAVE EXPERIENCE ANALYZING FOR CHLOROFORM IN SOLID SUBSTANCES SINCE THERE'S NO WAY TO GIVE QUANTITATIVE AMOUNTS HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO COMPARE TO LEVELS FOUND IN HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS SIMPLY MEANT IT'S DETECTABLE

FORGEY IN CHARGE OF KEEPING RECORDS OF TRAINING LOGS OF GERUS FOR TESTIMONY IN TRIALS AND TO PROVE CERTIFICATIONS FOR JUDGE'S APPROVAL THE DOGS ARE TRAINED WITH NUMEROUS SMELLS TO CAUSE DISTRACTION SO THAT DOGS ARE MORE PROFICIENT IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF CERTAIN SMELLS NOT ALL TRAINED AROUND HORSES AND FECES AND URINE AND OTHER ANIMALS

UNDERWENT BASIC CADAVER SEARCH IN 11/2005
TRAINED IN HORSE FIELD
K-9 FIELD
DRAINAGE PIPE
SCHOOL PORTABLE
RUBBLE/GRAVEL PILE

GERUS FOUND ALL OF THE TARGETS THAT WERE HIDDEN WITH NO FALSE ALERTS OR MISLEADS SHOWN PHOTOGRAPHS OF HIM AND GERUS TRAINING AND RECOGNIZES THEM GERUS TRAINED IN SARASOTA IN 2005 AND 2006 ONE WAS BASIC AND THE OTHER ONE WAS ADVANCED IN ADVANCED COURSE THERE ARE MORE DISTRACTIONS AND THE DOGS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MORE PROFICIENT

FOR REWARDS GERUS GETS ROPES WITH BALLS ATTACHED HAS ONLY 2 MISSES ON THE DAY OF TRAINING GERUS IS ORDERED TO UNDERGO MAINTENANCE TRAINING TO KEEP UP ON HIS SEARCHES FROM 2005-2010 HE WAS QUARTERLY TRAINED 21 TIMES TRAINED GERUS TO STILL IDENTIFY THE SMELL OF THE SOIL EVEN THOUGH THE BODY HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM A REAL CRIME SCENE AND 10 DAYS LATER GERUS IDENTIFIED 2 BONES THE CSIs HAD PREVIOUSLY MISSED

GERUS HAS A TOTAL OF 5 MISSES AND 3 FALSE ALERTS BUT NONE OF THOSE TOOK PLACE AT ACTUAL CRIME SCENES... ON ACTUAL CRIME SCENES HE HAS NO MISSES AND NO FALSE ALERTS HAD OVER 100 LEADS OF WHICH 71 WERE CADAVERS ON THE CASE OF CAYLEE IN 2008 AND OUT OF 71 LEADS OF CADAVERS HAD NO FALSE ALERTS OR MISSES AND ON TWO LEADS THERE LOOKED LIKE THERE HAD BEEN A SMALL SHALLOW GRAVE BUT GERUS DIDN'T ALERT BECAUSE THEY WERE DUG BY FORENSICS AND BOTH GRAVES WERE ANIMALS GERUS FOUND A DROWNED VICTIM THAT HAD NOT SURFACED GERUS IS NOW RETIRED LAST DAY OF WORK WAS A CALL WAS 09/24/10 AND HE WENT DOWN IN THE HIPS ON A CALL

A WOMAN WAS FOUND IN THE WOODS IN A SINKHOLE/RETENTION POND APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN SHOT IN THE HEAD FORGEY SAID THAT HE AND GERUS WOULD GO DOWN AND HELP IN ANY WAY THAT HE COULD AND THE REAL WORLD SEARCH OF GERUS WAS VIDEOED BY OCSO CHOPPERS

SIDEBAR ON VIDEO

RECESS TILL 2:55PM

VIDEO WILL COME INTO EVIDENCE

IN THE VIDEO THERE IS A BODY LAYING FACE DOWN IN A PREVIOUS SINK HOLE/RETENTION POND AND GERUS STOPS ABOUT 100 YARDS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE SINK HOLE/RETENTION POND WHERE THE BODY IS AND LAYS DOWN ALERTING FORGEY THAT THERE IS A CADAVER IN THE AREA; NO FALSE ALERTS NO MISLEADS ON THIS CASE

BONES HAD 4 REAL FINDS:
GUY REPORTS HOUSE DOG BROUGHT BACK A BONE WITH TEETH SAID IT LOOKS REAL INTERVIEWED OWNER OF THE DOG DEPLOYED BONES FROM VEHICLE AND GAVE COMMAND TO FIND HUMAN REMAINS BONES FOUND LOWER TORSO OF CADAVER IN CHURCH YARD ASKED TO SEARCH BACKYARD AREA OF HOUSE IN GARAGE FOUND A BODY BENEATH THE FLOOR OF A GARAGE FOUND A DECEASED MAN ALERTED IN GARDEN AND ROCK AREA LOCATED AN ITEM WITH BLOOD ON IT IN A SEXUAL ABUSE CASE THAT WAS USED TO CLEAN BLOOD FROM VICTIM'S BODY

SIDEBAR

WAS CALLED TO ASSIST IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF CAYLEE ANTHONY ON JULY 17, 2008 RESPONDED TO MAIN OPERATIONS WHICH IS FORENSIC BAY FOR THE SEARCH HE GIVES COLLAR FOR GERUS TO INDICATE FOR DOG THAT HUMAN REMAINS IS WHAT HE'S SEARCHING FOR HE IS GIVEN NOTHING OTHER THAN GENERAL INFORMATION OF THE CASE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH CADAVER DOGS SINCE 2003 IDENTIFIED THE SMELL OF HUMAN DECOMPOSITION AS SOON AS HE GOT THERE WHILE GERUS STAYED IN THE CAR TO FIND OUT WHAT GERUS WAS TO BE DOING FOR THE DAY SAID THAT SMELL WAS PRETTY POTENT ASKED FOR THE CAR TO BE REMOVED FROM THE BAY TO THE PARKING LOT SO THAT WAY THE BIOHAZARDOUS GARBAGE CANS WOULDN'T THROW GERUS OFF -- I SWEPT THE BLUE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT AND THEN WENT TO THE LEFT OF THE SUNFIRE AND DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SUNFIRE GERUS ALERTED AT THE DRIVER'S DOOR; DOOR WAS OPENED AND GERUS HOPPED IN BACK SEAT FACING TRUNK; TRUNK WAS THEN OPENED AND GERUS PUT HEAD IN TRUNK; GOT OUT OF TRUNK AND LAID DOWN NEAR BUMPER BY TRUNK GIVING FINAL ALERT INDICATION OF HUMAN DECOMPOSITION OR HUMAN REMAINS WERE THERE 

ON JULY 18, 2008 WENT TO ANTHONY HOME AND SWEPT THE BACKYARD LEFT GERUS IN THE CAR AT FIRST HE SEARCHED FIRST IN THE BACKYARD AT IMPORTANT SPOTS THEN GERUS WAS DEPLOYED FROM THE CAR PUT COLLAR ON DOG OFF LEAD AND TOLD HIM TO FIND HUMAN REMAINS (FRED TO THE DOG) GAVE FINAL ALERT AT PLAYHOUSE AND PLAY BENCH BELONGING TO CAYLEE ANTHONY INDICATION OF HUMAN DECOMPOSITION OR HUMAN REMAINS WERE THERE GERUS LAID DOWN IN BETWEEN THE PICNIC TABLE AND PLAYHOUSE OF CAYLEE ANTHONY THAT WAS THE FINAL ALERT THEN ASKED PERMISSION FROM DETECTIVES TO HAVE BONES COME AND SEARCH THE BACKYARD TOLD BONES' HANDLER WHAT HE HAD DONE IN THE YARD AND WHAT THE AREA OF INTEREST WERE NEVER MENTIONED WHAT GERUS DID IN THE YARD TO BONES' HANDLER

WAS PRESENT FOR BONES' SEARCH BUT NOT GERUS SAID THE BACKYARD TO THE ANTHONY HOME WASN'T VERY BIG IN HIS OPINION BUT THAT'S UP TO PERSONAL PERCEPTION GERUS HAS 240 HOURS IN RESIDUAL ODOR TRAINING IT'S POSSIBLE FOR DOGS TO HAVE FALSE LEADS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INFALIBLE THEY ARE LIKE HUMANS WHEN HE FIRST WENT AND SEEN THE CAR DETECTIVE TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS THE CAR IN QUESTION OF PERSON OF INTEREST DIDN'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF THE CASE BUT HE KNEW THIS WAS THE CAR IN QUESTION (WHITE PONTIAC SUNFIRE) DIDN'T VIDEOTAPE THIS FIND SAID IT WASN'T VIDEOTAPED BECAUSE IT'S NOT COMMON PRACTICE TO VIDEOTAPE YOUR REAL WORLD FINDS

YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE YOU KNEW THERE WAS NO BODY IN THE CAR BECAUSE FORENSIC'S WOULDN'T CALL YOU IF THEY KNEW THERE WAS A BODY IN THE CAR BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE SCRUTINIZED LATER FOR THAT WHEN HE TRAINS THE DOG FOR THE MOST PART IT'S NOT BLIND TESTING HE KNOWS WHERE THE REMAINS ARE (NOT THE DOG) HIS REAL WORLD FINDS ARE UNKNOWN TESTING (NO ONE KNOWS THE RESULTS) EVERYTIME THE DOG FINDS SOMETHING IT'S GIVEN A REWARD (GERUS GETS TOYS) AFTER FORENSICS WERE DONE SCRAPING THE AREA OF THE YARD HE DIDN'T GET ANY ALERTS FROM GERUS

SEARCHED THE BACKYARD HE HAD ALERTS ONE DAY AND NONE THE NEXT IN 2006 THERE ARE NO POLICE REPORTS FOR THE MISSES AND IN 2009 NO POLICE REPORTS FOR THE 9 MISSES AND IN 2008 THERE ARE NO POLICE REPORTS FOR THE OTHER 68 MISSES KNEW THAT A BODY HAD BEEN THERE ON SUBURBAN DRIVE WHERE CAYLEE'S REMAINS WERE FOUND BECAUSE SEVERAL SMALL BONES WERE STILL MISSING FROM HER SAID THAT THE DOG WAS ALERTING BUT HE DIDN'T GIVE ANY FINAL ALERTS BECAUSE FORGEY DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GIVE FINAL ALERTS BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY FOUND REMAINS THERE HE WANTED THE DOG TO FIND MISSING BONES THEY HADN'T FOUND REGARDLESS OF THE FACT HE KNOWS THAT HIS WORK CAN BE SCRUTINIZED BY ANYONE AT ANY GIVEN TIME HOW MANY CALLS HAS BEEN CONSIDERED REAL WORLD SEARCHES 3,000 VERY FEW HAVE EVER BEEN VIDEOTAPED THE ONLY ONES TAPED WERE BY CHOPPERS AND THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE THERE

SAID DOG DIDN'T FIND ANY ALERTS ON THE SECOND TRIP TO ANTHONY HOME BECAUSE FORENSICS SCRAPED THE AREA DIMINISHING THE RESIDUAL ODOR DOG WILL NOT ALERT TO TRASH, VELVEETA CHEESE, PACKAGE CONTAINING CHICKEN SMELL HIS CONCERN AT FORENSIC BAY WAS TO HAVE THE CAR REMOVED BECAUSE OF THE INCENERATOR

DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER THE BODY OF CAYLEE ANTHONY WAS IN THE BACKYARD OR THIS WAS A FALSE LEAD OR THE FORENSICS DIGGING UP DIMINISHED THE SCENT BAEZ CLAIMS THAT HE'S SPECULATING AND THE WITNESS SAID HE ISN'T SPECULATING IT'S JUST AN UNKNOWN FACTOR TO HIM AS IT PERTAINS TO THERE BEING NO REMAINS HE'S JUST SPECULATING ON WHAT THE DOG IS ALERTING TO CLAIMS THAT HE CAN SMELL AS CLEAR AS DAY THE SMELL IN THE BACK OF THAT CAR  HE CLAIMS THAT HE DOESN'T SPECULATE IT'S JUST AN UNKNOWN FACTOR

RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES

SIDEBAR

RECESS TILL 9AM TOMORROW

JOSE BAEZ STARTED OFF IN THE LEAD THIS MORNING BEFORE LUNCH BUT WAS CLEARLY KNOCKED BACK DOWN TO THE END OF THE GROUP AFTER LUNCH HE TRIED TO DISCREDIT THE DOG HANDLER'S TESTIMONY BY SAYING THAT THE DOG WOULD ALERT TO OTHER THINGS BESIDES THE HUMAN DECOMPOSITION HE HAS SUCH A CONVOLUTED MANNER TO ASKING QUESTIONS AND THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CONFUSE THE JURY SHOWING HIS LACK OF EXPERIENCE WHEN TALKING OF THE JURY AND QUESTIONING A WITNESS THE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN A MANNER THAT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD BY THEM CONSIDERING THEY AREN'T LEGAL OFFICIALS AND DON'T HAVE A BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF LEGAL TALK SO THIS COULD BE DAMAGING TO HIM AND THE DEFENDANT I DO BELIEVE THAT STATE HAS TODAY IN THE BAG BECAUSE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE PROMISED TO DELIVER UP TO THIS POINT THEY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DONE SO THIS IS NOT ONLY PROOF TO THE JURY OF CASEY'S GUILT BUT ALSO SHOWS THE JURY THE DISCREDITED JOSE BAEZ... WITH HIM BEING DISCREDITED BY THE JURY I DO BELIEVE THAT'S A CONVICTION AND A WIN FOR PROSECUTION NOT AN APPEAL ON THE BEHALF OF THE DEFENDANT KEEP IN MIND JUDGE PERRY HAS TRIED 9 TRIALS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT IN TALLAHASSEE AND NONE OF THE 9 DEATH PENALTIES HAVE BEEN RETURNED FROM THOSE CASES SO THIS MEANS THAT PROSECUTION HAS IT AND THERE SHOULD BE NO APPEALS THUS FAR

DON'T BE AFRAID TO LEAVE ME YOUR COMMENTS AND OPINIONS REMEMBER THIS IS A FREEDOM OF SPEECH BLOG THANKS

TRIAL DAY 22 CENTERED ON FORENSIC DR. VASS TESTIFYING ON DECOMPOSITION AND CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS FOUND IN THE CAR LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS TESTIMONY BEING THAT HE WAS THE ONLY WITNESS TO TESTIFY TODAY

DEFENSE IS OBJECTING TO DR. VASS BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT HIS EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY IS EXCULPATORY AND THAT IT'S NOT CONSISTENT
JUDGE SAYS OVERRULED

FIRST TO THE STAND IS DR. VASS

SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST AT OAKRIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY HIS AREA OF EXPERTISE INCLUDES ANTHROPOLOGY (THE STUDY OF BONES) HAS A Ph.D IN ANTHROPOLOGY

STUDIED AND OBTAINED HIS Ph.D IN ANTHROPOLOGY IN 1988-89 TIME FRAME TO STUDY THE DECOMPOSITIONAL PHASES AND THE EFFECTS ON THE BODY HE HAS TESTED OVER 1100 BODIES IN THE DECOMPOSITIONAL PHASES IN HIS LAB

SAID WHEN A BODY IS DECOMPOSING IT EMITS A LIQUID AND THAT LIQUID CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO ANYTHING THAT THE BODY IS RESTING ON WHETHER IT BE SOIL, CARPET, WOOD, BEDDING, CLOTHING ETC.

STUDIED THE BREAKDOWN OF TISSUE IN THE BODY CALLED AUTOLOSIS (SELF-DIGESTION) ROUGHLY TRANSLATED; WHAT HAPPENS IS THE BODY DIES DUE TO DEATH AND THEN THE CELLS NOT REALIZING THE BODY IS DEAD CONTAINS CARBON DIOXIDE NOT BEING RELEASED BY CIRCULATION OR RESPIRATIONS ANYMORE SO THE CARBON DIOXIDE IS STILL CONTAINED IN THE CELLS OF THE BODY AND BEING THAT CARBON DIOXIDE IS ACIDIC IT STARTS TO DECOMPOSE THE CELLS AND LIQUIFY THEM THROUGH THE LYSOSOMES IN THE CELL SURROUNDED BY A SINGLE MEMBRANE RELEASING ENZYMES THAT BEGIN TO DIGEST THE TISSUE OF ONE'S SELF -- AUTOLOSIS LEADS TO SKIN SLIPPAGE WHICH LEADS TO PUTIFICATION WHICH LEADS TO LIQUIFICATION OF THE BODY TISSUE (DECOMPOSITION) AFTER THE BLOAT STAGE (WHERE THE BODY BLOATS BECAUSE OF A BUILD UP OF CARBON DIOXIDE)

PHASES OF DECOMPOSITION : AUTOLOSIS, PUTIFICATION, BLOAT STAGE, SKIN SLIPPAGE, LIQUIFY STAGE, POSTMORTEM INTERVAL, BEGINNING DECAY, INTERMIDIATE DECAY, MIDDLE DECAY, FINAL DECAY (WHERE BONES ARE ALL THAT REMAIN-- EVEN EYES HAVE DECAYED)

SAID THAT DUE TO INVOLITILE FATTY ACIDS INORGANIC COMPOUNDS CAN GIVE A TIMELINE OF DEATH FOUND WAYS TO LOCATE CADAVERS WITHOUT DOGS BY USING CLANDESTINE GRAVES AND PIPE SYSTEMS SAID THAT DECOMPOSITION IS A VERY UNIQUE SMELL SAID THAT ANIMALS DECOMP IS MORE MUSKY AND PIGS ARE MORE SWEET HUMAN DECOMPOSITION IS DISTINGUISHABLE FROM AN ANIMAL MMORE UNIQUE THAN ANY OTHER SMELL AND YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT IF YOU HAPPEN TO STUMBLE UPON THE ODOR

SAID THE REASON WHY CAYLEE'S BODY DECOMPOSED MORE FASTLY THAN NORMAL BECAUSE OF CHEMICALS IN THE EARTH, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, HUMIDITY, RAIN AND OTHER EARTH SCIENCE FACTORS FOR INSTANCE HOW ACIDIC THE SOIL IS 

SIDEBAR

KEPT STUDYING CLANDESTINE GRAVES BUT ALSO STUDIED BODIES THAT WERE DECOMPOSING ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH SAID THAT FOR THAT STUDY HE LOOKED AT 10 INDIVIDUALS SOME WERE COMPLETELY EXPOSE SOME WERE COVERED IN TARPS AND SOME WERE IN BODY BAGS SAID THAT THEY STUDIED THE SMELL OF DECOMP FROM THE BODIES BY PERFORMING AIR TESTS ON THE BODIES (TAKES A TUBE WITH 3 PIECES OF CARBON IN IT WITH AN ATTACHED PUMP AND SUCKS THE AIR IN THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND THE BODIES THEN YOU TAKE THE TUBE AND HEAT IT UP TO SEE THE COMPOUNDS IN THE CARBON THAT WERE TAKEN FROM THE AIR)

STUDIED ABOVE GROUND BODIES FOR 2-3 YEARS WOULD TAKE AIR SAMPLES WEEKLY BI WEEKLY THEN AT SKELETAL STAGE OF BODY MONTHLY DR. VASS IS NOW CONSIDERED AN EXPERT WITNESS IN THE INITIAL AND NON INITIAL STAGES OF HUMAN DECOMPOSITION AND ANTHROPOLOGY

GOT SENT NUMEROUS PIECES OF EVIDENCE FROM THE ANTHONY CASE INCLUDING A METAL CAN

SIDEBAR CALLED BY JUDGE

METAL CAN GETS CALLED INTO EVIDENCE RECEIVED AN AIR SAMPLE CONTAINED IN A PLASTIC BAG FROM THE TRUNK OF THE CAR HE'S THE ONE THAT SENT THE EQUIPMENT TO FORENSIC BAY TO OBTAIN AIR SAMPLES FROM VARIOUS PLACES IN THE CAR AND THE GARAGE CONTAINING THE CAR

AIR SAMPLES SENT TO HIM FROM ORANGE COUNTY CSI LAB ADMITTED INTO EVIDENCE

RECESS FOR 15 MINS.

WAS ASSISTED BY OTHER SCIENTISTS IN OAKRIDGE LAB FOR ANALYSIS OF ITEMS OF EVIDENCE FROM THE CASEY ANTHONY CASE GCMS WAS USED TO OBTAIN RESULTS FROM THE AIR SAMPLES HEAD SPACE IS VOLUME OF AIR CONTAINED IN THE CAN AND HE RETRIEVED SOME OF THE HEAD SPACE AIR FROM THE CARPET SAMPLE SENT IT TO GCMS FOR RESULTS

SIDEBAR

WENT OVER THE PERATOGRAM OF THE TOP OF THE CAN ONE LARGE PEAK AND SMALLER PEAKS -- LARGE PEAK WAS CHLOROFORM, SAID THAT CHLOROFORM IS SOMETHING THAT A DECOMPOSING BODY PRODUCES NATURALLY SAID THAT THE CHLOROFORM LEVELS WERE SHOCKINGLY AND UNUSUALLY HIGH THEREFORE PROCEEDED WITH TESTING TO DETERMINE SMALLER PEAKS EMANATING IN THE AIR FROM THE CAN REMOVED THE CARPET FROM THE METAL CAN BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SURE IF THE CARPET WAS REPRESENTING THE AIR IN THE CAN PLACED THE CARPET IN A TEDLARG BAG FOR 2 DAYS AT 35 DEGREES CELSIUS TO ISOLATE FREE FLOWING COMPOUNDS IN THE CARPET RELEASED IN THE AIR THEN EXTRACTED SOME OF THE AIR FROM THE INCUBATED TEDLARG BAG AND SENT IT TO GCMS FOR ANALYSIS RESULTS WERE 51 INITIAL COMPOUNDS IN THE CARPET ONE OF WHICH WAS CHLOROFORM

THE LARGEST PEAK WAS THE BASE PEAK AND IN THIS CASE IT WAS CHLOROFORM SAID THAT THE LEVEL OF CHLOROFORM SHOCKED THEM SAID HE NEVER SEEN AMOUNTS THAT HIGH EMANATE FROM A DECOMPOSING BODY BEFORE ROUGH APPROXIMATION OF CHLOROFORM WERE IN THE MILLIONS PER mL OF AIR CHLOROFORM EVAPORATES RAPIDLY AND BECAUSE IT DOES THEY CAN'T SAY HOW MUCH WAS IN THE CAR BEFORE THEY RECEIVED IT THEREFORE THEY CAN'T SAY FOR SURE HOW MUCH WAS IN THE CAR WHEN THEY DID GET IT

SAID THAT SMALL AMOUNTS OF CHLOROFORM (THOUSANDS) ARE FOUND NATURALLY IN TRACE AMOUNTS COMPARED TO THE MILLIONS THAT WERE FOUND IN CASEY ANTHONY'S CAR USED LIBS EXAM ON THE SPARE TIRE COVERWELL TO DETERMINE THE COMPONENTS IN THE CARPET LIBS DETERMINE THROUGH LASER BEAM THE EXCITED STATE OF ATOMS DIFFERENT COMPOUNDS HAVE DIFFERENT EXCITEMENT LEVELS IN THEIR ATOMS LIBS CAN BE USED IN DECOMPOSITION BECAUSE THE BODY IS MADE UP OF INORGANIC AND ORGANIC COMPOUNDS THE INORGANIC COMPOUNDS BECOME MORE LIBERAL IN DECOMP THEREFORE LIBS CAN DETERMINE DECOMPOSITION NOT A PHYSICIST THEREFORE CANNOT PERFORM LIBS LASER EXPERIMENT OR TESTING

JUDGE REMOVES JURY

THE RESULTS OF THE LIBS EXAM SHOWED THAT INORGANIC ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH HUMAN DECOMP WERE PRESENT IN THE ENCLOSED SPACE OF THE TRUNK CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM, SODIUM, CARBON AND IRON DOESN'T INITIALLY RUN LIBS EXAMS SAID THAT ELEMENTS ARE FOUND IN EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN SAID THAT HE CAN MAKE A LOGICAL CONCLUSION THAT SINCE ALL THESE INORGANIC ELEMENTS ARE ELEVATED DURING DECOMPOSITION MEANS WHAT HIS NOSE TELLS HIM IS CORRECT

JUDGE RETURNS JURY

THE CHART ON THE SCREEN SHOWS HIGH ELEVATIONS OF CALCIUM A KEY ELEMENT IN HUMAN DECOMPOSITION IN CASEY'S CAR WOUND UP DOING AN EXAMINATION OF EXTRACTION OF CHEMICALS FROM CARPET FIBERS IN ETHANOL WHICH WILL EXTRACT COMPOUNDS AND INJECTION OF METHANOL WILL PREDICT WHAT THE COMPOUNDS ARE FOUND THE PRESENCE OF BUTURIC ACID WHICH IS THE FIRST COMPOUND THAT IS LIBERATED IN THE FATTY ACID SEQUENCE FOUND IN HUMAN DECOMPOSITION

WHEN HE FIRST OPENED THE CAN FROM THE CARPET SAMPLE HE JUMPED BACK A FEET OR TWO BECAUSE THE SMELL EMANATING WHICH HE IDENTIFIED AS HUMAN DECOMPOSITION WAS SO STRONG IT OVERWHELMED HIM SAID THAT IN HIS 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE HE HAS NEVER SMELLED CONCENTRATIONS OF HUMAN DECOMPOSITION EMANATE FROM SUCH A SMALL CAN WAS GIVEN A SAMPLE OF SCRAPING FROM THE SPARE TIRE COVERWELL DID A CHEMICAL EXTRACTION ON THE SCRAPING FOUND ACEDIC ACID WHICH IS A BY PRODUCT OF BOTH THE MANUFACTURING OF CHLOROFORM AND HUMAN DECOMPOSITION WAS GIVEN NAPKINS TAKEN FROM THE CAR

SIDEBAR

RECEIVED THE BOX CONTAINING THE TRASH (PAPER TOWELS FROM THE TRUNK AND OTHER ITEMS)

LUNCH BREAK UNTIL 1:30PM

PERFORMED ETHANOL ANALYSIS ON STAINED AND UNSTAINED PORTIONS OF THE PAPER TOWELS IT WAS DONE BECAUSE INSECT PUPAE WAS ON THE PAPER TOWELS ALONG WITH FATTY ACIDS THAT MAKE UP GRAVE WAX (THE BREAKDOWN OF FAT) KEY ELEMENTS IN HUMAN DECOMP

REQUESTED AIR SAMPLES FROM VARIOUS REGIONS OF THE CAR TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CARPET WAS THE MAIN SOURCE OF THE DECOMP ODOR AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE CARPET IN THE TRUNK WAS THE KEY SOURCE OF HUMAN DECOMPOSITION IN THE CAR THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE COMPOUNDS OF THE CARPET WERE NOT PRESENT IN THE TRASH FROM THE CAR OR THE AIR IN THE GARAGE

THEY FOUND 51 CHEMICALS IN THE CAR'S TRUNK 41 WERE CHARACTERISTICS OF HUMAN DECOMPOSITION THE COMPOUNDS AND CHARACTERISTICS FOUND IN THE CAR FROM HUMAN DECOMP WERE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IN HUMAN DECOMP

BUTURIC ACID IS NOT FOUND IN ENVIRONMENTAL COMPOUNDS THEREFORE IS SIGNIFICANT IN HUMAN DECOMP THE AMOUNT OF BUTURIC ACID THEY FOUND IN THE CAR WERE VERY HIGHLY ELEVATED

TAKING ALL THE EXTRACTIONS AND ANALYSIS THAT WAS SHARED THERE IS NO OTHER PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION OTHER THAN HUMAN DECOMPOSITION TOOK PLACE IN THE TRUNK OF THAT CAR

HE IS NOT A CHEMIST OF ANY SORT SO THEREFORE HE CANNOT TESTIFY OF THE CHEMICAL MAKEUP OF ANYTHING TO SOME EXTENT BAEZ CLAIMS THAT HE HAS A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN HIS TESTIMONY WITNESS DISAGREES WITH THIS STATEMENT

SAID THAT OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS FOUND IN DECOMPOSITION 478 WERE INTRODUCED INTO THE DATABASE BAEZ SAYS THAT THE WITNESS'S TESTIMONY IS IRRELEVANT BECAUSE A SUBMITTAL OF THE 478 CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS CANNOT BE INTRODUCED BECAUSE IT'S PROPIETOR COPYWRITTEN

SIDEBAR

WITNESS CLAIMS THAT HE THOUGHT DEFENSE WAS GIVEN A COPY OF THE DATABASE TO HAVE IT VERIFIED BY THEIR WITNESS BAEZ SAID THAT IT WAS NOT BAEZ THINKS THAT WITNESS CREATED A TOOL USED TO AIDE CADAVER DOGS CALLED LABORADOR TO FIND AND LOCATE CLANDESTINE GRAVES AND HE RECEIVES ROYALTIES... THE WITNESS SAID THAT HE ISN'T TRYING TO SELL THEM HE WANTS TO HAVE THEM USED TO FIND CLANDESTINE GRAVES BUT HE WOULD RECEIVE ROYALTIES IF IT WERE PATENTED BY THE LAB AND SOLD SAID THAT IF THE RESEARCH LAB HE WORKS FOR DOESN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS THEN THERE IS NO MONEY FOR RESEARCH 

SIDEBAR

IN THIS CASE HE DIDN'T DISCLOSE THAT HE HAD A FINANCIAL INTEREST WITH THE DETECTIVES BAEZ THINKS THAT HIS RESEARCH LAB IN TEN. HAS NO PROTOCOLS TO FOLLOW... THE WITNESS SAID THAT ISN'T TRUE THERE ARE PROTOCOLS ON CERTAIN EXPERIMENTS AND ANALYSIS THERE WAS QUALITY CONTROL THAT NEEDED TO BE FOLLOWED IN THIS CASE AND THERE WERE STEPS AND PRECAUTIONS THAT HE TOOK AND FOLLOWED TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION

IN THIS CASE HE TOOK A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS INSTEAD OF A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS WHICH MEANS THAT HE WANTED TO FIND OUT IF THEY WERE BIG OR SMALL AMOUNTS OF TRACE EVIDENCE AND WHAT IS THE ABUNDANCE

BAEZ THINKS THAT HE LEAKED INFORMATION TO THE MEDIA THAT HUMAN DECOMPOSITION WAS FOUND IN THE CAR

JUDGE CALLS SIDEBAR BEFORE WITNESS COULD ANSWER

SAID THAT HE HAD AN EMAIL CONVERSATION BECAUSE OF THE MEDIA COVERAGE OVER HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE CASE IN THE FIRST PRELIMINARY REPORT THERE WERE 54 CHEMICALS AND IN THE SECOND PRELIMINARY REPORT THERE WERE 51 CHEMICALS TO COMPARE CASEY'S CAR HE WENT AND RETRIEVED 2 PONTIAC SUNFIRES FROM A LOCAL JUNKYARD

AT THE TIME DIDN'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE CARS FROM THE JUNKYARD OR THE CAR FROM FLORIDA ONE OF THE CARS HAD CHLOROFORM IN THE TRUNK IN SMALL TRACE AMOUNTS

HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN THE CHEMICAL BREAKDOWN OF THE COMPOUNDS IN CARPET WAS GIVEN A LIST OF THE ITEMS BUT DIDN'T SEE THE ITEMS FOUND IN THE GARBAGE REMOVED FROM THE TRUNK OF THE CAR

PERFORMED THE ANALYSIS OF THE ITEMS AND THE CARPET AND AIR SAMPLES ON 8/30/08 KNOWS THAT AIR IS FREEFLOWING AND THAT THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND CAN CHANGE FROM MOMENT TO MOMENT AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT WAS DONE TO THE GARBAGE FROM 07/15 TO 8/30

TOOK THESE SAMPLES TO REACH HIS CONCLUSIONS FOR THE PRELIMINARY REPORTS BAEZ SAID THAT HE USED ALL OF THE STATES EVIDENCE EXCEPT FOR THE AIR SAMPLE TAKEN FROM THE TRUNK FOR HIS TABLE (CHART) RESULTS SAID THAT OUT OF THE 41 CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS FOR DECOMP CAN BE REDUCED DOWN TO 7 FROM OVERLAYING AND REPETITIOUS REASONS WHICH CAN BE REDUCED DOWN TO 5 FROM OVERLAPPING AND CAN BE REDUCED DOWN TO 3 THAT HE WOULD CONSIDER SIGNIFICANT TO DECOMPOSITION AND HE SAID THAT'S UNFAIR TO STATE BECAUSE IT'S NOT ACCURATE HE SAID THAT THERE WERE ACTUALLY 7 CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS THAT HE FOUND THOSE WERE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT

THE CARS THAT WERE USED FOR COMPARISON WITH CASEY'S CAR WERE IN THE JUNKYARD AND THERE WERE SAMPLES FROM BLOOD AND OTHER EARTHLY COMPONENTS THAT WERE IN THE CAR THAT COULD HAVE CONTAMINATED EVIDENCE AND ALONG WITH THE CARS WERE OBTAINED WITH THE TRUNK OF THE CAR UNLOCKED AND OPENED NOT KNOWING HOW LONG THEY HAD SAT IN THE JUNKYARD WITNESS SAID "ISN'T IT COOL THAT THEY WERE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THE FLORIDA CAR" ON THE AMOUNTS AND LEVELS OF TRACE EVIDENCE FOUND COMPARED TO A FLORIDA CAR THAT SAT IN THE FLORIDA SUN WITH TRASH IN THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS

RECESS BEFORE THE WITNESS CAN ANSWER UNTIL 3:10PM

THE ENTIRE TRUNK WAS SPRAYED WITH A CHEMICAL CALLED BLUESTAR SIMILAR TO LUMINOL THE SPRAYING OF BLUESTAR ON A CONTROLLED SAMPLE WAS NEVER DONE TO FIND THE CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS BECAUSE NONE OF THE CHEMICALS WERE SIGNIFICANT OF THEIR CASE

FATTY ACIDS FOUND THAT ARE LIKE ADIPOSEA:

PALMITIC
STEARIC
OLEIC
MYRISTIC
PALMITOLEIC

THC, CANNIBUNOL WHICH ARE BY PRODUCTS OF MARIJUANA ALSO FOUND ON THE PAPERTOWELS

BAEZ SAID DO YOU STILL THINK THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH ADIPOSEA OR SOMEONE WITH THE MUNCHIES WITNESS SAID THAT WOULD POSSIBLE IF SOMEONE WERE EATING MASS AMOUNTS OF RAW MEAT WITH A BAG OVER THEIR HEAD AND SMOKING SOME SORT OF SOURCE OF MARIJUANA WHICH IN MY EXPERT OPINION IS IMPOSSIBLE BAEZ SAID WHY DO YOU THINK THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE AND THE WITNESS SAID BECAUSE WITH THE BAG OVER THEIR HEAD WOULDN'T THEY SUFFOCATE

ASKS WITNESS IF HE REMEMBERS TRYING TO LOCATE GRAVES AT BARKER RANCH IN CALIFORNIA AND BEFORE WITNESS CAN ANSWER

JUDGE AND PROSECUTION CALL SIDEBAR JURY ASKED TO LEAVE

ASKED TO ANALYZE SAMPLES OF SOIL FROM THE BARKER RANCH IN CALI. WENT ON A TRIP TO THE ACTUAL SITE AND USED INSTRUMENTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED WITH THE CADAVER DOGS AND FOUND THAT DECOMPOSITION CHARACTERISTICS WERE FOUND AT THAT POINT AN EXPLORATIVE EXCAVATION WAS STARTED BUT TURNED UP NOTHING DURING DIGGING BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DIG DEEP ENOUGH FOR THERE HAD BEEN PEOPLE BURIED THERE FOR OVER 50 YEARS THEY FOUND CHEMICALS ON THE SURFACE BECAUSE OF FLASH FLOODING IN THE AREA AT THAT TIME AND BECAUSE OF THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE

WASN'T ALLOWED TO DIG AS DEEP AS HE WANTED TO BECAUSE OF TIME CONSTRAINTS AND DUE TO IT BEING AN EXPLORATIVE EXCAVATION WITNESS TELLS JUDGE IT HAS NO RELEVANCE TO THIS PARTICULAR CASE THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT CHARLES MANSON DID AT BARKER RANCH 50 YEARS AGO... JUDGE SAYS THAT WHAT WAS DONE AT BARKER RANCH ARE IRRELEVANT AND OF NO BARING TO THIS CASE BECAUSE THEY SHOW NO RELATION OR CO-RELATION

JURY RETURNS

PART OF PROTOCOLS WOULD INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO OBTAIN SAMPLE COLLECTION BY AVOIDING STORING OR COLLECTING SAMPLES IN AN AREA CONTAMINATED WITH GASOLINE AND THESE SAMPLES TAKEN FROM THE CAR WERE COLLECTED FROM AN AREA CONTAINING GASOLINE AND TRASH THAT WOULD SHOW FALSE POSITIVE READINGS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT LEAK VOLITILE OR ORGANIC COMPOUNDS INTO THE SOIL WITNESS SAID NOT TO TAKE STATEMENT OUT OF CONTEXT BECAUSE YOU CAN COLLECT CONTROL SAMPLES NEXT TO TRASH IF TRASH IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE CRIME SCENE

DEVINING RODS ARE-- PROSECUTION CALLS SIDEBAR

DEVINING RODS ARE ANTENNA DESIGNED TO FIND PROPERTIES OF CERTAIN PLACES -- COAT HANGERS CAN BE USED AS DEVINING RODS IF USED PROPERLY AND THEY CAN DETECT DECOMPOSITIONAL PROPERTIES FIRST TIME HE'S EVER TESTIFIED IN A COURT CASE

PAPER BY DR. STEPHENOPOULOS WHO HAS FOUND THE SAME RESULTS AS DR. VASS WHEN IT COMES TO IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS IN CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OF HUMAN DECOMPOSITION IS THE ONLY DR. IN THE WORLD ON THE SAME EXPERTISE LEVEL AS DR. VASS

SAID THAT THE SMELL OF HUMAN DECOMPOSITION IS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE SMELL OF A POTATO GOING BAD IN YOUR CUPBOARD IT'S HORRENDOUS WHEN IT COMES TO SMELL BUT THAT'S AS CLOSE OF AN IDEA AS YOU WILL GET WITHOUT SMELLING HUMAN DECOMPOSITION

FLEURIDE IS A KEY COMPOUND IN HUMAN DECOMP BUT YET THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY FLEURIDE GOT A BLANKET FROM A BODY OF A CHILD THAT WAS IN A CAR FOR 3 MONTHS BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW THE SPECIFICS OF HOW THE BLANKET WAS STORED BUT YET THAT DIDN'T CONTAIN FLEURIDE EITHER MR. BAEZ (LMAO LOVE THIS GUY)

SAID THAT HE NEVER OBTAINED A SAMPLE FROM THE CARPET OF THE CAR IN MINNESOTA WHERE THE CHILD WAS WRAPPED IN THE BLANKET AND LEFT IN THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS BECAUSE THE BLANKET WAS THE ONLY THING STAINED CASEY ANTHONY'S CAR WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HE OBTAINED A CARPET SAMPLE FROM CORRECT-- WITNESS SAID THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF FORENSIC SCIENCE EVERY SAMPLE IS DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE SO YES THAT'S CORRECT

NOT A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL FORENSICS OR ANTHROPOLOGY SCIENTIFIC WONDER AND AMAZEMENT IS HIS FUEL FOR WHAT HE DOES CAREER WISE NOT FINANCIAL INTEREST HAD TO BE ASSISTED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF LABORADOR AND HAD TO BE TAUGHT THAT INFORMATION SO HE COULD ANSWER QUESTIONS TODAY

BECAUSE OF GETTING A CONTAMINATED SAMPLE THAT WAS THE MOTIVE OF GETTING CARS FROM THE JUNKYARD BLUESTAR AND FEBREZE DO NOT CONTAIN CHLOROFORM THEREFORE THE SAMPLE FROM THE CARPET OBTAINED FROM CASEY'S CAR TRUNK WASN'T CONTAMINATED SAID THAT FLEURIDE COMPOUNDS WEREN'T FOUND IN EITHER CHILD CASE BECAUSE A CHILD DOESN'T PRODUCE ENOUGH FLEURINE IN THEIR SYSTEMS BECAUSE ENOUGH TIME HASN'T ELAPSED FOR THEM TO OBTAIN ENOUGH FLEURINE TO SHOW UP

FLUERINE DIDN'T SHOW UP IN CASEY'S TRUNK BECAUSE THE CHILD DIDN'T DRINK ENOUGH WATER OVER TIME SO THIS IS AN OPINION CORRECT-- WITNESS SAID NO, IT'S AN OPINION ON SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN STUDIED BUT HAS BEEN FOUNDED IN BIO-ACCUMULATION

FOUND PUPAE (MAGGOTS) OF COFFIN FLIES (THAT ONLY SHOW UP AT GRAVESITES OR AROUND DEATH) ON THE PAPERTOWELS A FACT THAT WAS FOUND BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN HIM BUT CANNOT SAY THAT THE FATTY ACIDS FOUND PRESENT CAME FROM MEAT AS BAEZ CLAIMS

SIDEBAR

JURORS ARE RELEASED FOR THE DAY THEY WILL BE BACK AT 9 AM IN THE MORNING

PROSECUTION IS OBJECTING TO SQUASH THE DEFENSE'S SUBPOENA ON THE TABLE OF VASS' CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS DEFENSE WITHDRAWS THE SUBPOENA BUT SUBJECTS DR. VASS TO RECALL TESTIMONY JUDGE AGREES WITH THIS RULING AND CLOSES TRIAL FOR THE DAY

TODAY THE PROSECUTION LEAD ALL THE WAY BAEZ TRIED TO WIN SOME BROWNIE POINTS BUT THE HOLES WERE COMPLETELY PATCHED UP BY PROSECUTION ON THE REDIRECT QUESTIONING BAEZ SHOWED HIS IGNORANCE THE WHOLE DAY THROUGH CALLING A TOTAL OF 30 SIDEBARS THAT'S A NEW RECORD EVEN FOR HIM INSTEAD OF ALLOWING DOROTHY SIMMS TO QUESTION THIS EXPERT WITNESS BECAUSE SHE HERSELF IS AWARD ACCLAIMED AT QUESTIONING EXPERT WITNESSES HE HIMSELF DECIDED TO TAKE THIS UP AND DO IT HIMSELF ANOTHER MOVE THAT ONLY AN AMMATEUR WOULD MAKE THE JUDGE HAS BEEN MORE THAN PATIENT WITH BAEZ EVEN THOUGH THE JURY HASN'T AND NEITHER HAVE I TO BE FRANK WITH YOU SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GIVE I THINK THAT HE NEEDS TO QUIT TRYING TO BUILD A REPUTATION AND IMAGE FOR HIMSELF AND FOCUS ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE FOCUSED ON BUT THIS IS BAEZ WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND CHANCES ARE HE'S TOO INCOMPETENT TO UNDERSTAND THAT

DON'T BE AFRAID TO LEAVE ME YOUR COMMENTS AND OPINIONS

TRIAL DAY 21

TRIAL FOCUSED ON FORENSIC EVIDENCE SPECIFICALLY HAIR PROVING THAT CASEY ANTHONY STUFFED THE DEAD BODY OF CAYLEE ANTHONY IN HER TRUNK AND DUMPED THE BODY IN A WOODED SWAMP LET'S TAKE A CLOSE HAND LOOK AT THE DAY IN TRIAL SHALL WE?

DEFENSE IS TRYING TO OBJECT TO THE HAIR WITH POSTMORTEM BAND BECAUSE WITNESS IS NOT QUALIFIED
JUDGE OVERRULES THE HAIR WILL COME IN TO EVIDENCE!

NEXT TO WITNESS STAND KAREN LOWE

TRACE EVIDENCE EXAMINER FBI LAB IN QUANTICO FOR 13 YEARS SHE IS QUALIFIED TO TESTIFY AS AN EXPERT WITNESS CASEY ANTHONY IS THE 44TH EXPERTISE TRIAL SHE'S TESTIFIED

FIRST TIME SHE'S EVER TESTIFIED ON HAIR BANDS WITNESS SAID CORRECT

SIDEBAR CALLED BY JUDGE

THE AMOUNT OF TRAINING SHE RECEIVED 6 MONTHS COURSES SHE HAS TAKEN ON THIS TOPIC 3 REST OF KNOWLEDGE CAME FROM EXAMINATION AND ARTICLES WHEN SHE EXAMINES SOMETHING SHE GIVES AN OPINION CORRECT-- WITNESS SAID CORRECT

JUDGE CALLS HER EXPERT WITNESS IN MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF HAIR

BEEN DONE AS EARLY AS THE 1930'S COLLECTION IDENTIFICATION COMPARISON ARE THE 3 STEPS TO HAIR ANALYSIS HAIRS ARE NOT CLASSIFIED LIKE DNA AS BEING POSITIVE MATCHES BUT YET THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH COMING FROM THE SAME SOURCE

BY LOOKING AT HAIR SHE CAN DETERMINE RACE HOW THE HAIR WAS OBTAINED AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOURCE OF THE HAIR 1988 PATRACO -- "HAIRS AT ALL THE GROWTH PHASES POSTMORTEM ROOT BAND DETERMINES DECOMPOSITION AND HARD AND SOFT TRANSITION OF KERATINE" WHEN A PERSON IS DECOMPOSING THE ROOT OF THE HAIR WILL COME TO A POINT INSTEAD OF BEING ROUNDED

SAID THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES A BAND TO APPEAR ON THE HAIR WHEN A BODY IS DECOMPOSING OR DECOMPOSED OR BEGINNING TO DECOMPOSE IT'S A VISUAL ASSESSMENT IN THE IDENTIFICATION PROCESS TO DETERMINE DECOMP THE HAIR DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A CERTAIN LENGTH TO HAVE A POSTMORTEM ROOT BAND

SAID THAT THIS IS THE FIRST CASE THAT THE HAIR CAME FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE (NOT KNOWING IF THE PERSON WAS DEAD OR NOT) USUALLY SHE DEALS WITH HAIRS THAT COME FROM A DECEASED BODY SAID THAT SHE WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE DISAPPEARANCE OF CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY

SHOWN HAIRS TAKEN FROM THE ENTIRE ANTHONY HOME, UNKNOWN HAIRS (SAID TO BE CAYLEE'S) CASEY'S, CINDY'S, GEORGE'S, AND LEE'S, RECEIVED HAIR BRUSH AND COMB KNOWN TO BE CAYLEE ANTHONY RECOGNIZES THEM ALL

UNKNOWN SAMPLES WERE AT LEAST 11 HAIRS AND ONE OF THE ITEMS EXHIBITED SIGNS OF DECOMPOSITION SAID THAT HAIR HAD A DARK BAND WRAPPED AROUND THE HAIR AND THAT IT WAS POINTED AT THE ROOT INSTEAD OF ROUNDED THAT'S HOW SHE WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE DECOMP HAIR WAS 9 INCHES LONG MEDIUM TO LIGHT BROWN AND NO SKIN WAS ATTACHED

COMPARED UNKNOWN HAIR TO KNOWN SAMPLE FROM CASEY AND IT DIDN'T MATCH BUT IT DID MATCH THE HAIR SAMPLE OBTAINED FROM THE BRUSH KNOWN TO BELONG TO CAYLEE SHOWN SAMPLE OF HAIR THAT SHE SENT TO MITOCHONDRIAL DNA AND RECOGNIZES IT

DISCUSSED THE HISTORY OF MICORSCOPIC ANALYSIS TO 1930'S FBI LABS HAVE LEARNED A LOT ALONG THE WAY HAS CITED NUMEROUS ARTICLES SHE'S READ ALSO READ THE NATIONAL ACADEMY'S OF SCIENCES REPORT ORGANIZED BY CONGRESS

SIDEBAR--RECESS

DEFENSE IS QUESTIONING THE GROUNDS OF HAIR ANALYSIS STATING THAT IT'S INCONCLUSIVE BECAUSE HAIR CANNOT IDENTIFY A PERSON OR BODY
STATE SAYS THAT THEY OBJECT BECAUSE THE WITNESS NEVER SAID THAT SHE IDENTIFIED A PERSON OR BODY BASED ON THE HAIR
JUDGE SAYS THAT THE WITNESS WILL TESTIFY

THE REPORT OF HISTORY OF ANALYSIS WAS COMMISSIONED BY CONGRESS TO FIND A BETTER WAY TO INTRODUCE FORENSIC EVIDENCE INTO THE TRIAL RECOGNIZES THE REPORT TO BE AUTHORITATIVE AND THEY WERE STRICT IN SAYING THAT THE ANALYSIS OF HAIR EXAMINATION AREN'T A MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION WITHOUT NUCLEAR DNA ANALYSIS AS OPPOSED TO MITOCHONDRIAL DNA ANALYSIS

SO FOR EXAMPLE CAYLEE AND CASEY AND CINDY WOULD HAVE THE SAME MITOCHONDRIAL DNA CORRECT-- WITNESS CAN'T ANSWER JUDGE SUSTAINED QUESTION

BASED ON REPORT THAT'S WHY SHE WON'T TESTIFY THAT ONE HAIR CAN COME FROM ONE PERSON FIRST TIME THAT SHE'S EVER TESTIFIED AS AN EXPERT WITNESS FOR HAIR BANDING BASED ON DECOMPOSITION DOESN'T CONSIDER HERSELF AN EXPERT ON THE PHYSIOLOGY OF HAIR JUST THE MICROSCOPIC CHARACTERISTICS OF HAIR

SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES POSTMORTEM BANDING AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE FOR THE BAND TO DEVELOP BECAUSE IT CAN SHOW UP AS SOON AS 8 HOURS BASED ON HER MASTER'S IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND BACHELOR'S IN FORENSIC SCIENCE AND ON THE JOB TRAINING AND 13 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN HER FIELD SHE IS CONSIDERED AN EXPERT WITNESS

SHE ONLY FOUND ONE HAIR IN THIS CASE THAT HAS POSTMORTEM BANDING AND THE MORE HAIRS THAT HAVE POSTMORTEM BANDING THE STRONGER THE CASE BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE ONE HAIR SHE FOUND WITH THE BANDING GAVE HER DOUBTS ON THE CASE BECAUSE HER EXPERTISE TELLS HER THAT THE BAND IS CONSISTENT WITH DECOMPOSITION

12 ITEMS THAT WERE SUBMITTED TO HER IDENTIFIED WITH COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND SOME OF THE HAIRS HAD DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS SAID THE ONLY HAIRS SHE CAN DISCUSS ARE THE ONES PRESENT WITH POSTMORTEM BANDING

AND THROUGH ALL THE HAIRS THAT SHE HAD TESTED NONE HAD APPARENT DECOMPOSITION OTHER THAN THE ONE HAIR WITH POSTMORTEM BANDING CANNOT TESTIFY THAT THE ONLY WAY A POSTMORTEM BAND IS PRESENT IS THROUGH DECOMPOSITION HOWEVER THE SCIENTISTS PROFICIENT IN MICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS OF HAIR HAVE NEVER SEEN IT IN ANY OTHER FORM OUTSIDE OF DECOMPOSITION THEREFORE CONCLUDED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH DECOMPOSITION

CONCLUDING THAT SOMEONE IS DECOMPOSING IT'S BASED ON A VISUAL ASSESSMENT AND POSTMORTEM HAIR BANDING CORRECT? WITNESS SAID CORRECT BAEZ SAID THAT IT'S AN OPINION AND IN THIS CASE IT'S HER OPINION CORRECT -- SHE SAID AND ONE OTHER SCIENTIST

POSTMORTEM BANDING IS LOCATED IN THE ROOT AREA OF THE HAIR AND IN THIS CASE THE BANDING IS JUST ABOVE THE ROOT SIDEBAR BEFORE WITNESS CAN ANSWER QUESTION

THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT SHE TOOK OF THE Q12 HAIR SHE NEVER SHOWN IT TO THE JURY AND THE PHOTO SHOWS THAT THE BANDING IS JUST ABOVE THE ROOT

SAID THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO CAPTURE HOW THE CHARACTERISTICS MAY CHANGE ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE HAIR YOU WOULD JUST BE ABLE TO SEE THEM WITH THE MICROSCOPE IT'S HARD TO CAPTURE IN A PHOTO WHERE THE SHAFT OF THE ROOT ENDS AND THE POSTMORTEM BANDING BEGINS

SAID THAT SHE FAILED HER FIRST PROFICIENCY TEST IN 2000 AFTER HER DEPO WAS TAKEN HER LABORATORY THEN CREATED A TEST TO FIND THE POSTMORTEM BANDING IN HAIR

SIDEBAR-- BEFORE THE QUESTION CAN BE ANSWERED

NEVER PARTICIPATED IN ANY MEETINGS REGARDING THE ONLY WAY POSTMORTEM BANDING IS PRESENT IS THROUGH DECOMP PART OF HER JOB IS TO DETERMINE WHERE SAID HAIR WOULD GO NEXT AS TO MEANS OF TESTING OR FINDING PERTENENT INFORMATION

SAID THE ONLY TIME NUCLEAR DNA CAN BE DONE IS WHEN THERE IS SKIN ATTACHED TO THE ROOT OF THE HAIR THAT'S WHY SHE NEVER SENT THE HAIR TO NUCLEAR DNA

CANNOT TESTIFY THAT THE HAIR FOUND IN THE TRUNK CONSISTENT WITH DECOMP WAS TRANSFERRED SECONDARILY SAID THAT THE HAIR FOUND IN THE CAR WASN'T TILOGENT (NATURALLY SHED) IT WAS ANILOGENT (FORCIBLY REMOVED) EVERYONE IN THE MATERNAL LINE HAS THE SAME MITOCHONDRIAL DNA HAIR WAS DISCOVERED TO BE UNTREATED CASEY'S WAS TREATED

ASSUMING THAT THE HAIR FROM THE BRUSH IS CAYLEE'S IT'S NOT NATURAL FOR POSTMORTEM BANDING TO OCCUR IN CAYLEE'S HAIR A PULLED HAIR IS MORE LIKELY TO HAVE TISSUE ATTACHED TO THE ROOT

CANNOT SAY THE HAIR CAME ABSOLUTELY WITH UNCERTAINTY FROM A DEAD BODY BUT THE CHARACTERISTICS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF A HAIR THAT CAME FROM A DEAD BODY

NEXT TO THE STAND MIKE VINCENT

SUPERVISOR OF THE OCSO CSI UNIT

ASSISTED BOYSLEY WITH THE INSPECTION OF SAMPLES FROM CASEY'S CAR COLLECTED STAIN SAMPLES TO SEE IF BLOOD WAS PRESENT IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR COLLECTED AIR SAMPLES FROM THE TRUNK TO CAPTURE THE SMELL

CONTAINED SAMPLES OF THE STAIN PRESENT IN THE CARPET OF THE TRUNK COLLECTED THE AIR SAMPLES FROM THE TRUNK -- PLACED SYRINGE IN THE TRUNK SEAL OF THE CAR AND SUCKED THE AIR OUT INTO PLASTIC BAGS PLACED FILTER IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR TO SEE IF THE AIR WOULD TRANSFER THROUGH THE FILTER

TOOK SAMPLE FROM THE STAINED AREA OF THE SPARE TIRE COVER SHIPPED THE SAMPLES UP NORTH FOR FURTHER EXTENSIVE SAMPLES MADE ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO GET AIR SAMPLES FROM THE TRUNK -- OPENED UP THE TRUNK HUNG IN TWO DIFFERENT FILTERS ONE BEING A CARBON FILTER FOR 40 MINUTES OPENED THE TRUNK AND THEN COLLECTED THE SAMPLES

SENT AIR SAMPLES TO OAKRIDGE TENNESSEE FOR FURTHER TESTING DID ANOTHER EXAMINATION TO GET FURTHER COLLECTION FROM THE TRUNK RECEIVED PORTABLE AIR PUMP AND 9 TEST TUBES ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW AND WHERE TO OBTAIN THE AIR SAMPLES FROM THE TRUNK OF THE CAR

ALSO TOOK AIR SAMPLES FROM THE TRASH FROM THE CAR -- SET UP THE EQUIPMENT AND HOOK UP THE TUBES TO THE HOSE ON THE PUMP TURN THE PUMP ON FOR A SET AMOUNT OF TIME -- AIR SAMPLES FROM: PASSENGER AREA INTERIOR 61 MIN, PASSENGER AREA INTERIOR 68 MIN, TRASH FROM INSIDE THE TRASH BAG 72 MIN, TRUNK AREA OF THE CAR 69 MIN, TRASH FROM THE CAR 72 MIN, AIR FROM GARAGE 77 MIN, BLANK TEST OR STANDARD TEST, AIR FROM GARAGE 77 MIN

HE THEN SEALED THEM IN AN ENVELOPE AND SENT THEM TO OAKRIDGE LAB IN TENN. SENT SAMPLE FROM SPARE TIRE COVER TO OAKRIDGE LAB IN TENN., TOOK TWO SAMPLES FROM THE SPARE TIRE COVER ONE WITH STAIN AND ONE WITHOUT STAIN

ASSISTED BOYSLEY IN OTHER ASPECTS OF THE INVESTIGATION INCLUDING OBTAINING HAIR SAMPLES FROM GEORGE, CINDY, LEE AND CASEY ANTHONY -- TOOK THEM INTO THE ROOM WHERE THEY OBTAIN SAMPLES TOOK BUCAL SWABS COLLECTION THEN TOOK HAIR SAMPLES FROM EACH OF THE AFFOREMENTIONED NAMES HAIR SAMPLES ARE PULLED HAIRS HAIR IS PLACED IN PETRI DISH AND THEN SEALED IN AN ENVELOPE WITH EVIDENCE TAPE

SHOWN INDIVIDUAL ENVELOPES CONTAINING BUCAL SWABS FROM THE ANTHONY FAMILY AND RECOGNIZES THEM SHOWN INDIVIDUAL ENVELOPES CONTAINING PETRI DISHES CONTAINING HAIRS TAKEN FROM THE ANTHONY FAMILY AND RECOGNIZES THEM

WENT TO THE ANTHONY HOME ON HOPESPRING DRIVE AND COLLECTED GAS CANS FROM THE GARAGE SWABBED THE GAS CAN FOR DNA AND FINGERPRINTS ITEMS WERE THEN RETURNED TO THE ANTHONY HOUSE AFTER UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS AT COLLECTING DNA AND FINGERPRINTS

WHEN HE WAS PROCESSING THE CAR CHECKING FOR BLOOD WASN'T ON TELEVISION THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT HE EVER TOOK THE AIR SAMPLES FROM ANY CAR AND NEVER HEARD OF THIS EVER BEING DONE SAID THAT THIS WAS NEW TO HIM NOT AN EXPERIMENT THERE WERE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN AIR SAMPLES FROM THE CAR

SAID THAT THE QUALITY OF THE AIR THAT WAS TAKEN BY ALL 3 AIR TESTS WERE DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE FREE FLOWING MOVEMENT OF AIR (AIR COMES IN AND AIR GOES OUT)

SAID THE PURPOSE OF CONDUCTING ALL THESE AIR TESTS AND SAMPLES WERE TO COMPARE THE RESULTS TO SEE IF THE AIR FROM THE FORENSIC BAY GARAGE MADE IT INTO THE TRUNK AND VICE VERSA

SAID THAT AFTER THE TRASH WAS REMOVED FROM THE BAG PLACED IT IN THE DRY ROOM SAID THAT ODOR OF THE TRASH WOULD BE DIFFERENT SIGNIFICANTLY FROM TRASH THAT WAS MOIST

BAEZ CLAIMS THAT THE GAS CAN COULD'VE BEEN WIPED DOWN BEFORE THE CUSTODY OF THE GAS CAN WAS HIS HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS BECAUSE IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT HAD BEEN WIPED DOWN IN ANY WAY SAID THAT THE GAS CAN WAS POINTED OUT TO HIM IN THE GARAGE OF THE ANTHONY HOME AND HE PUT ON GLOVES TO RETRIEVE IT

SAID THAT THE CAR WAS KEPT IN THE GARAGE OF FORENSIC BAY FOR QUITE A WHILE BUT THE SMELL DIDN'T DIMINISH IN ANY KIND OF WAY TO HIS RECOLLECTION OR KNOWLEDGE AND THE TRASH FROM THE CAR AND ITEMS COLLECTED FROM THE CAR WERE KEPT SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER AND THE CAR

TRIAL IS OUT FOR THE DAY COURT WILL RECONVENE AT 9AM MONDAY

INITIAL OVERVIEW OF TODAY'S TRIAL TELLS ME THAT JOSE BAEZ EARNED HIS FIRST ACORNS AS A BLIND SQUIRREL TODAY ON THE TESTIMONY OF KAREN LOWE HOWEVER THEY WERE QUICKLY LOST IN THE CROSS EXAMINATION OF MIKE VINCENT SO RIGHT WHEN YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN CREDIT HIM AS BEING AN ATTORNEY HE GOES AND PROVES YOU WRONG YESTERDAY HE WAS CAUGHT TEXTING WITH A REPORTER WHILE TESTIMONY WAS BEING HEARD SO THAT DOESN'T EXACTLY SCREAM CREDIBLE ATTORNEY TO ME THAT SCREAMS MORE LIKE POMPOUS JACKASS WITH NO EXPERIENCE AND THE ATTENTION SPAN OF THAT OF A 5 YEAR OLD HE'S NOT EXACTLY THE MOST LIABLE PERSON IN THE WORLD I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE COULD THINK THAT HE'S REPUTABLE WHEN YOU HEARD TESTIMONY FROM KAREN LOWE IT MADE YOU SEE IN YOUR MIND A PICTURE OF CASEY ANTHONY STUFFING THE DEAD BODY OF HER DAUGHTER IN HER CAR SHE PAINTS A PICTURE OF CASEY ANTHONY CHOOSING MEN OVER HER DAUGHTER AND KEEPING HER DAUGHTER FROM OTHERS IN HER FAMILY SHE DIDN'T WANT HER DAUGHTER BUT SHE DIDN'T WANT OTHERS TO HAVE HER DAUGHTER EITHER WHETHER CASEY ANTHONY PANICKED OR KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING IT MAKES YOU QUESTION WHAT KIND OF PERSON COULD PUT THE DEAD BODY OF THEIR CHILD IN THE TRUNK OF THEIR CAR AND THEN DUMP THE BODY IN A WOODED SWAMP 300 FEET FROM THEIR FRONT DOOR AND LEAD POLICE ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE GUESS SHE JUST DON'T CARE AT ALL; ALL IN ALL PROSECUTION HAD IT IN THE BAG TODAY THEY HAVE SHOWN THE JURY AND THE COURT EXACTLY WHAT THEY PROMISED IN OPENING ARGUMENTS
