ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The case against Casey Anthony was back in court Friday and, for the first time in months, Casey was there and she couldn't hold back tears. Casey Anthony's attorneys filed several motions heard by Judge Stan Strickland, which included keeping the prosecution from taking Casey's check fraud case to court and being able to treat the EquuSearch founder and searchers as a witnesses.

VIDEO REPORT: Casey Anthony In Court
TODAY'S FOUR MOTIONS: 1 2 3 4
Casey walked into the courtroom around 9:40am wearing a blue, long-sleeve shirt and a pair of grey pants. She was not nearly as happy-looking as previous court appearances (see images watch video) where she was smiling and seemingly upbeat.
Casey saw her parents for the first time in three months when she entered the courtroom. George and Cindy Anthony were all smiles before the hearing started at 9:45am (see images).
Also in court were Casey's attorneys, Jose Baez, Todd Macaluso and Andrea Lyons, and EquuSearch founder Timothy Miller's attorney Mark NeJame, as well as a team of state prosecutors.
Casey's attorney asked the judge to allow her attorneys to interview the head of EquuSearch, claiming his testimony could prove her innocence.
Defense attorneys for Casey Anthony argued that testimony should be taken from the head of Texas EquuSearch, Timothy Miller, about the search for Anthony's toddler daughter, Caylee. The searchers looked near woods where the toddler's body eventually was found in December. They also asked to be allowed to review records on thousands of volunteers who participated in the searches for the little girl last summer and fall.
They hoped that testimony would show it would have been impossible for Anthony to dispose of the 2-year-old girl's body in the woods because she was arrested and in jail two months before the discovery of Caylee's remains.
"There is substantial evidence that we've found ... that the body or remains of Caylee Anthony was placed there after Casey Anthony was locked up," attorney Todd Macaluso argued. "It proves that somebody else placed the remains in the area."
The attorney for EquuSearch, Mark NeJame, said the request was too broad and would create "a tremendous chilling effect" on volunteers for future searches. He said defense attorneys should only be given information on 32 volunteers who searched the area where the body later was found.
Miller held a press conference Thursday with attorney Mark Nejame to show some of the photographs he took in the area where Caylee Anthony's body was later found (photos released) in an attempt to disprove the defense's theory that the body was dumped after Casey was jailed.
WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer says it'll be a hard sell to a jury that the mystery killer took great pains to keep secrets until November, after EquuSearch left, then killed Caylee and went to the area which posed the greatest risk of getting caught to hide her body, Caylee's neighborhood, where the media and law enforcement were often focused.
"Not only does it not raise reasonable doubt, it just defies logic. So the defense is gonna have a problem in that area," Sheaffer said.
Circuit Judge Stan Strickland said he would make a ruling by next week.
"My intention on the EquuSearch records is to grant your motion in some form, I just need to think about what that needs to be," Strickland said.
Casey's attorneys also argued that Anthony's comments to a bail bondsmen should not be allowed at the trial. Casey Anthony's father, George, testified about how bondsmen led by Leonard Padilla were hired to post her $50,000 bond last year.
George Anthony took the stand under oath around 10:45am to answer questions from Jose Baez (watch raw video). The courtroom camera then showed that Casey had begun to cry, wiping tears away with a tissue (see images watch video).
After a few questions from Baez about security guards involved in the case and bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, the prosecution questioned George, asking if he was aware of the fact that Padilla paid the $50,000 for Casey's bail. George said he was not aware and the prosecution expressed surprise that he wouldn't have known that.
The prosecution then pressed George on the security that was provided at their home after Casey's release.
"They bonded our daughter out of jail and secured our house ... that's the bottom line," George said. "They were at my house for numerous amount of days ... protecting us and my daughter."
"You're categorizing that as security only?" a prosecuting attorney asked, which George affirmed.
George stepped down from the stand just before 11:00am and gestured a sign of support toward a still visibly upset Casey, mouthing "I love you," and sat down in the courtroom audience.
The reason George's testimony is relevant is the defense is trying to claim Padilla and his employees were providing security for Casey, while also providing legal services somehow, so that information they have divulged to investigators is really privileged information that shouldn't enter into the case or into the public arena.
The defense had also made a request for phone calls made by Casey's ex-boyfriend, Tony Lazzaro (read Lazzaro motion). The judge did allow defense attorneys to have cell phone records from June 1, 2008 to Dec. 18, 2008. The calls were monitored by law enforcement after Casey Anthony's arrest in July.
Meanwhile, the judge said he will rule at a later time on a court date for Casey's check fraud case, something the defense filed a motion to get delayed until after the murder trial (read motion).
"I just want to let you guys know that it was awesome to see my daughter today. It's been a long time since I've seen her and it just gives me a lot of peace to see that she actually looks okay and she looks healthy and that's important to me," Cindy Anthony said while leaving the courthouse after the hearing (watch raw interview).
"I think they're absurd, tack them onto, just put them on the [list of] ridiculous accusations that have been made in this case," attorney Jose Baez said after the hearing when asked how he feels about state accusations that he doctored signed documents in the case (watch raw interview).
Casey Anthony is facing first-degree murder charges for allegedly killing her daughter, Caylee Anthony.
LAWYER: PHOTOS DISPROVE THEORY IN CASEY ANTHONY CASE
There were some tense moments Thursday afternoon in the case against Casey Anthony when Casey's father barged into a news conference with his former lawyer and the man who tried to find his granddaughter.

MOTIONS: Compel Evidence Regarding Lazzaro
VIDEO REPORT: George Interrupts Press Conference
"It was all a big misunderstanding," George Anthony said Thursday.
The news conference was held Thursday afternoon ahead of a court hearing Friday and it all involves Tim Miller, the leader of EquuSearch.
Casey's defense team is trying to use Miller to say Caylee's body could have been dumped in the east Orange County woods where it was found after Casey was already in jail.
The Anthonys have left a trail of broken relationships and Orlando attorney Mark NeJame, who worked for them for free, and Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller, who brought his non-profit to Orlando to search for Caylee at Cindy's request, are among them.
Thursday, George barged into NeJame's office, uninvited, past reception, to the conference room at the end of a news conference with Miller.
"I need to see you now," George Anthony said as he stormed into the news conference Thursday.
EquuSearch founder Tim Miller was surprised when George barged in, demanding to see his former attorney, Mark NeJame, in NeJame's own office. They went behind closed doors and, minutes later, the Anthonys' current attorney, Brad Conway, rushed in without saying anything and joined NeJame and George.
It happened minutes after NeJame and Miller showed photographs of the scene taken on November 7 where Caylee Anthony's remains were found more than a month later. Miller says he and 32 of his volunteers could not search the exact spot in November where Caylee's remains were later found because there was standing water (see photos).
"I said, my big fear is that if she is deceased, we're looking for a tiny little skeleton and if it's under the water we're gonna have a four-wheeler drive over it, a horse step on it, or even a human and push it in the mud," Miller explained Thursday.
Miller says they just found the photographs and are releasing them to investigators the day before they go to court to fight Casey Anthony's motion to get EquuSearch records for all the volunteers who came to search as well as all communications between EquuSearch and law enforcement.
After about an hour behind closed doors, George and NeJame came out to say they had cleared up a misunderstanding that started with a call that defense attorney Jose Baez made to George on Thursday, but wouldn't say what it was about.
"How are you supposed to live through this and counteract all this stuff?" George said.
George says he just wants to know what happened to Caylee, he just wants answers, but he apparently doesn't want the answers he's gotten so far from investigators and the answers he's gotten from his daughter Casey don't make any sense.

Casey Anthony's Car Reported Seen At Crime Scene Area in June; Jim Hoover gives Equusearch Searcher Tip
A new tip has surfaced in the Caylee Anthony case.
According to Tim Miller president of Texas based Equusearch, the group that searched for the remains of the missing toddler, Caylee Anthony, a tip was reported to a volunteer searcher by private investigator Jim Hoover on November 8th, that involved a wooded area near the Anthony home, the same woods where the remains of the toddler were found in December by a utility worker.

According to Miller, Hoover approached a volunteer searcher on November 8th. "He actually told (searcher) Bill Todd that nobody could know he was out there,” Miller said. “And it had to be kept a big secret that he is working as security for the Anthony’s and if the Anthony’s ever found out he was out there his job would be in jeopardy.
"Hoover has been under media scrutiny since he and Dominic Casey, another of the Anthony’s private investigator said they went out to the same area on November 15th and taped it. That was a week after Miller said Hoover came to them.
Tim Miller said Hoover filled out one of Equusearch's forms. Miller wouldn’t say what Hoover told them.“Everybody knows about that tip,” Miller said. “And who needs to know about that tip does know about that tip. Things were followed up on that tip." Miller wouldn’t say what Hoover said, but Bill Todd's wife said Hoover's tip didn't directly point them to the location where Caylee was found on December 11th, but instead said someone saw Casey’s car parked near that patch of woods back in June.

Grand Jury Set To Meet In Casey Anthony Case
Sunday, October 12, 2008
ORLANDO -- Final preparations are under way before Casey Anthony's grand jury hearing next week.
George Anthony, Casey’s father, handed out Caylee fliers in the Lee Vista neighborhood Saturday.
The Kid Finder's Network has a tent set up along Chickasaw Trail, as well as a billboard of Caylee Marie.
George answered questions and gave out T-shirts to passers-by.
Meanwhile, Casey Anthony spent several hours at her attorney's office to prepare for the hearing. Although it's been quiet in the Anthony neighborhood, residents who live along Grandee Drive said they just want the hearing to be over with so they can start getting life back to normal without protesters or media.
EquuSearch Returns To Look For Caylee, Jennifer Kesse
Search and recovery team Texas EquuSearch is back in Central Florida to resume the search for Caylee Anthony as her mother, Casey, works her way through the court system on child neglect charges. See previous story.
EquuSearch spokesman Tim Miller said the group hopes to start searching by late Sunday or Monday, because the ground is too saturated this weekend.
Miller said he believes Caylee is dead, but the 3-year-old deserves a proper burial.
"My heart goes out to the Anthony family," Miller said. "It's a position they've never wanted to be put in, and I can empathize with them."
Along with the search for Caylee, EquuSearch will be working with law enforcement to work on the case of Jennifer Kesse, who has been missing for more than two years after vanishing from her condominium in January 2006.
Casey Granted Access To Evidence
A judge Friday granted Casey access to some evidence after a motion hearing.
Judge Stan Strickland allowed Casey to access her car, as well as forensic tests completed by authorities trying to figure out what happened to Caylee.
Casey has been called a suspect in her daughter's disappearance, but has so far only been charged with child neglect.
"Casey is elated and excited that we had this motion granted," said Jose Baez, Casey's lawyer.
The judge did not rule on whether Casey could leave her home to help search for her daughter. lol.

Texas Search Team To Help With Kesse Case
Equusearch Juggles Caylee Anthony, Jennifer Kesse Search Efforts
October 10, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Texas search team arrived in Central Florida on Friday to help search for Jennifer Kesse nearly three years after her disappearance.
Kesse disappeared nearly three years ago from her Orlando condominium.
On Thursday, Texas Equusearch came to assist in the search.
Jennifer Kesse would be 27 years old now.
"It's extremely hard," father Drew Kesse said. "I'll be honest. It's hard to be back in this city."
The missing woman's parents met with investigators Friday morning. They said there's been nothing new happen in the case, but they're grateful for the help from the search team.
"There are a lot of emotions going on," said Tim Miller of Equusearch. "We've got two children in basically the same area."
Equusearch is in town to help look for 3-year-old Caylee Anthony, and they've also been briefed on the Kesse case.
"It's when we're going to do it," Miller said. "I think it's going to be a lot sooner than later."
Jennifer Kesse was last seen near her condo near the Mall at Millenia in January 2006.
"We're going to go out and take some rides around some of the areas to get a better grasp," Drew Kesse said.
Jennifer Kesse's car was found near Texas Avenue and Americana Boulevard. A few days later, surveillance was found of someone driving her car. Police said they don't know who was driving.
"With any luck, maybe we'll find something this time," Drew Kesse said. "As you know, with Joyce and me, we'll never give up. Jennifer is what it is all about."
Texas Equusearch members said they're not sure when they'll begin their search. They said they're still trying to coordinate the Kesse and Anthony searches.

Casey Anthony Wants To Travel To Search For Caylee
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony wants to be allowed to travel to assist in the search for her missing 3-year-old daughter Caylee, according to defense motions released on Monday.
The motion, one of eight filed in Orange County Circuit Court, also asks that the time and date of the travel be kept secret from the public.
A hearing on the motions is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Friday at the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando. Anthony made a brief visit with her home confinement manager on Monday morning, and then went to her attorney's office in Osceola.
While with her home confinement manager, she mapped out where she could go this week and when. Any violation of that schedule would send her back to jail.
Other motions filed by Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, seek:
* Any polygraphs the state has taken in the case, as well as the names of anyone who has or will take one.
*Files on any investigation in Zenaida Gonzalez, the name Casey Anthony gave as her nanny for Caylee.
*Copies of forensic evidence in connection with the investigation into the disappearance of Caylee Anthony.
These include tests from the Body Farm at the University of Tennessee, which investigators say showed body decomposition in Casey Anthony’s car trunk.
The release of any investigations conducted by the Department of Children and Families in relation to the case.
The passenger list an AirTran flight from Orlando to Atlanta on July 2 where there was a reported sighting of Caylee.
Anthony has been charged with child neglect and obstructing a criminal investigation. She also is charged with check fraud and is out on bond and living with her parents, Cindy and George Anthony in east Orange.
As early as this weekend, the head of Texas Equusearch said he'd like to resume his group's recovery efforts in and around Orlando. He said he would love to have Anthony's help.
"If she said she was willing to take us to areas of interest, I'd be on the next plane out," Tim Miller said.
A spokesman at the Orange County jail declined an on-camera interview, but said this kind of request is highly unusual and would likely require Anthony's attorney to be with her at all times. For his part, Baez has argued since a July interview that confining Anthony stalled the search for Caylee.
Baez turned down an interview request but his spokesman said Anthony is not interested in helping Texas Equusearch as that would be equivalent to admitting her daughter is dead. The spokesman said she is only interested in pursuing live sightings.

Casey Anthony to leave jail again
Bianca Prieto, Walter Pacheco and Susan Jacobson
Sentinel Staff Writers

September 4, 2008
TODAY'S UPDATES:
Casey Anthony to leave jail again Friday morning 6:20 p.m.
Casey Anthony, mother of missing toddler Caylee Marie Anthony, is expected to leave the Orange County Jail mid-morning on Friday, officials said late Thursday.
Anthony's bail of 500,000 on a child-neglect charge has been posted, a jail spokesman said. Bail already had been satisfied on 11 less-serious charges. Before leaving, Anthony, 22, must meet with a home-confinement worker to iron out terms of her electronic monitoring.
Sheriff's investigators seek volunteers 4:33 p.m.
Orange County sheriff's investigators are asking for more volunteers to help search for Caylee Marie Anthony, the missing Orange County girl whose disappearance has made national news. Volunteers are asked to meet at the search-command center, 6317 TPC Blvd., no later than 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They will receive maps of the area and be assembled into search teams...
Tim Miller said he is working hard to find Caylee Marie, whether she is alive or dead. Miller has been on the ground searching for the missing child's possible remains in areas around Orange County since last Friday."We are holding on to that little bit of hope that Caylee is still alive," Miller said. "But if not, it's important that her little body is found..." Miller's own daughter went missing September 10, 1984, 24 years from this Tuesday, and the police would not look for her because they believed she was a run-away, he said. Her body was recovered in a field in Feb. 1986. She had been murdered."I wish I would have had one person out there looking for my daughter," he said. "My heart goes out this family, it truly does."
Cindy Anthony fires back at EquuSearch leader 3:12 p.m. Cindy Anthony, the grandmother of missing 3-year-old Caylee Marie, fired back today at comments made by EquuSearch's founder, Tim Miller, regarding the family's role in searching for her granddaughter.While Anthony admits the group's search efforts are appreciated, she thinks Miller "misrepresented his intentions..." Anthony maintains that Miller agreed to look for a living child and not a dead child. Garrison said the family has received "massive amounts of e-mails from people who believe Caylee is alive and they are looking for her."But, the number of volunteers helping EquuSearch look for the missing girl has dwindled from 150 to less than 50 after news emerged that traces of chloroform were found in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car and air sample tests showed there human decomposition gases in the vehicle...
Cindy and George Anthony retain high profile lawyer 2 p.m. Mark NeJame has confirmed this afternoon that he will be representing Cindy and George Anthony, but he will not represent their daughter, Casey. NeJame told the Orlando Sentinel yesterday that he had met with the couple for several hours regarding the legal process and media. The Anthonys wanted to learn from NeJame about how they could refocus the case on the search for their missing granddaughter.
Chloroform at a high level was found in the trunk of the car driven by Casey Anthony. Sources told the Orlando Sentinel that the chemical -- which can be used to knock people out -- was detected by preliminary tests conducted by an FBI laboratory. It was detected in the same trunk that an official last week said air-sample tests show once held a decomposing human body. The role of the chloroform in Caylee's disappearance was not clear Wednesday. However, there is evidence showing that Casey Anthony may have been researching the chemical on the Internet, sources said. Chloroform has been depicted in movies and on television when a person uses a rag soaked in the liquid to cover the mouth and nose of another, making the victim lose consciousness. A person can die if too much of the chemical is inhaled. Chloroform also is the byproduct of contact between chorine used in swimming pools and skin, sweat or urine. Commercially, it is used in refrigeration, photography, and as an industrial cleaning solvent...
