CBS/WKMG/AP) ORLANDO, Fla. - Jeff Hopkins, an acquaintance of Casey Anthony's, testified Thursday that he never introduced Anthony to a babysitter whom she initially claimed kidnapped her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

Hopkins was called as the first witness on the eighth day of testimony in Anthony's murder trial.

Anthony had told investigators her daughter, Caylee, was kidnapped by a babysitter named Zenaida Gonzalez. But several witnesses have testified that no such babysitter existed.

Prosecutors said Wednesday that they are nearing the halfway point of their case and could be down to about 20 remaining witnesses by the end of the week, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.
