Excerpt:

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Lee Anthony, Casey Anthony's brother, was called to testify for the first time in his sister's murder trial Wednesday morning.

Lee Anthony testified about the weeks in July 2008 leading up to the discovery that his niece, Caylee Anthony, was missing. He said he had gone to the bar area of downtown Orlando on July 3 to look for his sister after their mother expressed concern that she had not seen her daughter or granddaughter in several weeks.

He testified that on July 15, 2008, he asked his sister why she wouldn't let the family see Caylee. She responded, "Maybe because I'm a spiteful (expletive)." That is the same day their mother, Cindy Anthony, called 911 to report Caylee missing.

Lee Anthony said his sister told him their mother had told her she was an unfit mother on numerous occasions, and that his sister responded, "Well, maybe I am." He also said Cindy Anthony had referred to Caylee as a mistake, but the best mistake Casey Anthony had ever made.
