Prosecutors played three 911 calls grandmother Cindy Anthony made about Caylee Anthony’s disappearance in court on Tuesday morning as she wept on the witness stand.

Cindy’s emotional direct testimony, which began on Saturday, continued on the sixth day of Casey Anthony’s murder trial after a brief hearing on a motion to allow brother Lee Anthony to sit in the courtroom during the trial. Defense attorneys opposed the request by Mark Lippman, the attorney for Cindy, George and Lee Anthony, but Judge Belvin Perry ruled that he would be excluded from the rules of sequestration like his parents have been.

During her cross examination Tuesday, defense attorney Jose Baez asked Cindy Anthony about her daughter Casey's "imaginary friends"–as he called them–including the supposed father of her daughter Caylee and the babysitter who she frequently claimed was watching her for two years.

First, though, as he has with most of the witnesses so far, Baez asked her what kind of mother Casey Anthony was. Cindy said Casey was very loving, with a quick maternal instinct that reminded her of herself. Caylee adored her mother, Cindy testified, and her eyes would light up when she saw her.

In a new prison interview with First Coast News, Misty Croslin denied any involvement in Haleigh Cummings’ disappearance and, despite being called “key” to the investigation by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, she insisted that she has never changed her story about what happened the night the 5-year-old went missing.

“I’ve always said the same thing,” Croslin, 19, said in the 20-minute interview posted on the station’s website last week. “I never said anything different…People don’t understand that it kills me every day to know that I was asleep, I woke up and she was gone.”

Casey Anthony’s ex-boyfriend Anthony Lazzaro returned to the witness stand Saturday morning to recount text messages he exchanged with her on July 16, 2008 after he found out her daughter Caylee had been missing for a month.

“I am the dumbest person and the worst mother,” Casey texted him after he angrily asked how she could not know where Caylee was. “I honestly hate myself.”

Tot Mom Judge Denies Defense's Motion For Mistrial

By Stephen Loiaconi

updated 12:00 AM EDT, Fri May 27, 2011

Before the jury arrived for the fourth day of testimony at Casey Anthony’s murder trial Friday, defense attorney Jose Baez moved to have Judge Belvin Perry declare a mistrial.

Baez’s request came after Perry granted a prosecution motion that will require him to proffer testimony from witnesses about things the defendant said to them before the jury is allowed to hear it. Baez had argued that would give the prosecutors an unfair advantage after they have had so many witnesses testify about Casey’s behavior and sexual partners and it prevent him from countering those questions.
