#caseyanthony things should get interesting with Simon Birch's observation. He'd smelled a decomposing body before in a car on their lot.

Posters note: Links etc of old docs that we may want to read again in light of the testimonies in court so far. Remains to be seen if Lee Anthony will testify there was a huge argument between Cindy and Casey as Jesse claims Lee told him. Until now I'm sure Cindy would have denied there was an argument. All that may change now.

Ex-Boyfriend: Anthony Said Brother Made Sex Advance

Casey Anthony's ex-boyfriend told detectives that her brother Lee tried to pressure her to have sex.
In
a newly released transcript and recording of a law enforcement
interview with Anthony's ex-fiance Jesse Grund, Grund claims Anthony
told him that her brother Lee had made sexual advances towards her.
"Uhm,
Casey uh, and Lee were at the house alone together and Casey, and Lee
attempted to have sex with her," Grund said to investigators on Sept. 8,
2008. "My impression was that somehow he was trying to pressure her
into it somehow."
Grund said he was told in September 2005, but she didn't say exactly when the incident happened. (Audio Excerpt On Sex Allegation)

Rumors
have long been rampant on the Internet that Lee Anthony was Caylee's
biological father. There even has been speculation that the name
"Cay-Lee" was a combination of Casey and Lee's names.
Evidence
documents released earlier this year reveal Lee Anthony was ordered by
the FBI to undergo a paternity test, which came back as negative,
showing Lee was not Caylee's father.
But now, Grund's
statements might add to the rumors that there was more than a
brother-sister relationship between Casey and Lee Anthony.
Casey
Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the
death of her daughter Caylee, who was reported missing last summer.
Caylee's body was found in December 2008 not far from the Anthony family
home in Orange County.

Also
in his interview, Grund is says Lee Anthony said his sister and their
mother, Cindy Anthony, had a violent fight that led Casey Anthony to
leave the home just before Caylee was reported missing. According to
Grund, Lee Anthony said Cindy Anthony told him about the fight, which
involved Cindy Anthony choking her daughter.
Grund, however, said Casey Anthony never mentioned the fight to him. (Audio Excerpt: Fight Allegation)
In past, Grund has called Casey Anthony a pathological liar.
On
Thursday, Cindy Anthony and her husband, George, are schedule to give
sworn testimony in the Zenaida Gonzalez' civil suit. Gonzalez, whose
name Anthony used for the babysitter she said had taken Caylee, is suing
Casey Anthony for defamation. She says that Anthony's false claims
damaged her reputation and ability to get a job.

The jailhouse letter (pg 8 & 9)where casey talks about being abused by Lee and telling Jesse about it and Cindy about it 2 years ago and claims cindy put a knife to her throat. In the letter she claims she has just begun having dreams in jail about George abusing her too but she doesn't know if that really happened.
