with regard to how this was done, randy, you did take some issue. having thought about this last 15 minutes, if order in which the prosecutor went around, do you think in his case he left the jurors with a pretty compelling case for casey's guilt? i'm going to go out on a limb and say something else that he may have consciously done, which is trusted this jury. he didn't go into so much of the stuff that most lawyers would go into. he talked about the lies, didn't spend a lot of time on the behavior. didn't spend a lot of time of the chlorophyl versus chlorophyl versus chloroform. it's almost as if he said, all right, guys, i think you've enough of that. you know what happened here. i'll drive one thing home, the chronology and the three pieces of duct tape. to me i'm going to keep coming back to that. that blew me out. >> both of you are defense attorneys in this studio with me. jonna, what do you think about his tactic? do you agree? do you hi he trusted the jury, is that a wise thing to do? >> no and no. i think he might be saving his best for la

. >> randy what would you think the percentage of these briefs being granted by any court, 2%? >> it ain't great. >> shepard: sounds like a big number. >> bottom line it ain't great. you have to really show some real stuff to get a do over. it isn't a matter of, it wasn't fair, you weren't nice to me. even errors, it is true, it is called harmless error. people screw up, judges are human, we are all human in the courtroom. it has to rise to the level where you were deprived of a fair trial. >> blago you are not allowed to testify. >> he did testify. >> it was a huge topic that he would not allow him to testify to it has to be so off the chart wrong. >> shepard: here's the quote: it is a case of overwhelming bias against the defense in with it playing field was so unleveled that blagojevich never stood a chance at a fair chance. >> he never stood a chance because as we learned, do overs generally speaking, and this was a glaring example, benefit the government. they tailored their case down. they simplified it. >> that's where i'm going to respectfully disagree. >> shepard: i've

here's randi kaye. >> reporter: it is the other question in the casey anthony trial. -- the fbi's dna tests ruled out george or lee anthony. but that didn't stop the defense from suggesting it during one of the most explosive moments of the trial. >> were you asked to conduct a paternity test for lee anthony as to caylee -- being the potential father of caylee anthony? >> jesse grund, casey anthony's ex fiance, isn't the father, either. >> i got a paternity test done to prove that i was not caylee's biological father. >> grund says a pregnant casey told him the baby was his. but when caylee was born less than seven months after the couple had met, he knew it wasn't true. even so, grund wanted to be a father to her. >> did you love little caylee like she was your own child? >> a piece of paper couldn't tell me not to love her like she was my daughter. >> reporter: but casey anthony told different things to different people. according to this deposition by brittany sheiber, an old friend, casey told brittany she didn't know who the father was. brittany goes on to say that casey's best f

that the whole reason the raid was conducted was once because of a tip from an informant a guy named randy gentry who was a admitted drug user and so and who left a incredible beat races for fame message on one of the answering machines so you know this is a guy who's described as trustworthy and reliable in the search warrants he was probably use you know dozens if not hundreds of times as an informant for similar raids like this one who was you know a really unabashed racist and so i mean there was there are it's there's there's so many just really kind of horrible things about this case. that aren't sort of unique to this case certainly if you see it all these bad things going to happen in this case that they probably have to know them well and one of the things they write about in terms of this case is when it came to the trial the medical examiner there examiner there steven haynes played kind of a big role when it came to actually convincing the jury to convicting this man and you know what more can you tell us about him and his his reputation and how you see that all across the coun

randy, what goes through your mind at this moment? >> it's at least consistent because this case has always been about behavior. so we saw behavior during the trial, now we look at the bizarre behavior of the parents. we look at the behavior of casey after the fact. you got it exactly right. no one is denying the fact that caylee is dead. >> that's why i think baez's comments were excellent. martha: i did too. very gracious. >> exactly right. always right -- all the right things. he's, clearly, anti-death penalty guy. but it's not the same type of elation where you feel you've acquitted a factually-innocent people. i've been lucky enough to be in those shoes. you're jumping for joy because you really believe a factually-innocent person who was wrongly judged was walking out of the courtroom. in his opening statements he admits -- now, whether he lie today the jury, i don't think that he did -- casey knew that her daughter was dead, and she went out and acted this way for a month. and that in and of itself all though it may not be deat

but the question we ask, randi, is should anyone believe anything he says? we took our time with this investigation. we spent months trying to track down all of his so-called credit l sha ials. his being a terrorist. his being with the plo. he was very hostile when we began asking any questions. >> i'm sure anyone watching this at home is probably asking themselves, why did the south dakota homeland security or anybody else hire this guy without checking out his credentials? >> we asked that of south dakota, right? number one, there's not a lot of muslims there. there's not a lot of terrorism centered in south dakota. why is this guy speaking there to begin with? he spoke there last year. he's back by popular demand. he was voted one of the most popular speakers there. the department of homeland security in washington said, hey, we don't do the vetting. we leave that up to the states. but if anybody's teaching profiling, we don't go with that. >> i'm certainly looking forward to finding out much more about what you found out in the investigation, drew. thank

and i randy see a car. i law larry running on the lawn. and he didn't have a stitch of cloths on him. it burned right off. >> reporter: a chief with the east district said that the man suffered third degree borns over a large portion of his -- three burns over a large portion of his body. the woman was not at home at the time what neighbors say was an explosion. a huge concern for firefighters finding this 2-alarm fire at 2:30 this morning. >> the a fire coming out of the back of the house, caused the power lines to drop that hampered the initial arriving company to fight the fire. >> reporter: and they found hundreds of these small tanks inside the home. and we were told that gives a clear indication of what the victim may have been doing at the time that the fire broke out. in fact the fire investigator tells us that the victim may have been using these small tanks to keep up marijuana and smoke the oil that is produces after heating it up to a certain degree. so right now that victim the medical center and he suffered third degree burns

back to you in the studio, randy and jonna, your expectations from jose baez, does he have an uphill battle, jonna? >> i think he does have a little bit of an uphill battle. he should probably focus on the reasonable doubt aspect, what the prosecution did not prove despite how well jeff ashton strung together his story. he should start there. what he won't be able to go into is an explanation as to her behavior because the sex abuse is off the table. >> if we hear anything of that, what's going to happen? will the judge intervene? >> they'll be an objection. >> that will be an objection. >> objection sustained. if he quonts, there will be a side bar. the jury is going to get cleared out and he'll threaten to hold mr. baez in contempt. there's not going to be a mistrial. >> i always wanted him to explain the duct tape theory. the one witness -- the main witness who could have done that did not testify and now the little bit that the jury heard can't even be brought up, is stricken. >> dr. rodriguez. >> yes. can't be brought up in his closing arguments. those are two large gaping holes

randy and jonnah. how important is this, the issue of sexual abuse, from george anthony, the father, none of which was proven. how important is the angle to the dmas terps in terms of the ? what does sexual abuse from a father to a daughter have to do with killing her daughter? >> a lot, jose baez said this is what happened, and why it happened has to do with sexual abuse. i don't think it's that important, because quite frankly, i think if mr. baez gets up on his closing arguments and goes back to this is what happened, they're done. so that's why i said earlier i think if anything, he's got to own it and say i probably shouldn't have gone there and focus in on the fact they haven't proven, a, b, c, d, the what, where, when, what. >> you, as awe juror hearing that, does that immediately give an incredible level of discredation to jose baez because you're thinking, are you kidding me? i would think off the bat, pal, you didn't know coming into the sensational trial where you wanted to go? >> bingo. tha

>> reporter: well, randi, he's taking it from both sides right now. he's taking it from republicans over the issue of tax cuts and from liberals because he's willing to put entitlements on the line. let's take a quick look at this quote from the progressive change campaign committee. they're very upset that president obama has said that he's interested in maybe reforming social security, medicare and medicaid. they say the fact he's made clear he's considering these benefit cuts basically is a nonstarter for them. the progressive change campaign committee went to the obama campaign headquarters and dropped after it 200,000 petitions. they did it when he was doing his press conference where he talked about these entitlement cuts. now, the progressive change campaign committee says these 200,000 people are equal to the $17 million that they donated to his campaign back in 2008. in addition to that, they were equal to 2.5

here's randi kaye. >> reporter: it is the other question in the casey anthony trial. who was little caylee anthony's father? to answer that question, it's best to start with who we know it isn't. we know it's not casey's own father, george, nor her brother lee. the fbi's dna tests ruled that out. but that didn't stop the defense from suggesting it during one of the most explosive moments of the trial. >> were you asked to conduct a paternity test for lee anthony as to caylee -- caylee being the potential father of caylee anthony? >> reporter: jesse grund, casey anthony krae's ex we awn say isn't the father, either. >> i got a dna test to prove that i was not caylee's biological father. >> a pregnant casey told him the baby was his. but when caylee was born less than seven months after the couple had met, he knew it wasn't true. even so, grund wanted to be a father to her. >> did you love little caylee like she was your own child? >> a piece of paper couldn't tell me not to love her like she was my daughter. >> reporter: but casey anthony told different things to diffe

. >> randi, secretary of education had this to say, that there are no short cuts to success and there are schools and districts across georgia and across the country that are facing the same expectation to perform that are i can maing genuine progress without cheating. a report found that the main reason for the cheating was to meet targets in a data-driven environment. is the expectation something that needs to be modified? >> it's actually the pressure to actually help all kids succeed is high and should be high. the difference is that we have a mania going on and a fixation going on about standardized tests which, by the way, are not really related to what kids know and are able to do in this economy. so what has happened is that there's been a fixation, a mania, on getting too high targets on standardized test as opposed to a broaden virnment for kids and that was the environment that the test is challenging and that report is right, that the environment and short cuts to get to there is you see examples of that throughout the country. >> the secretary makes a good point. there ar

it's not going to be enough, randi. the prosecution put on a very powerful circumstantial case. >> yeah. >> you know? they brought up -- they brought up casey's insane behavior those 30 days after the child went missing. people can't even accept that. they can't understand that. and if it really was an accident, how you do not come forward and tell the police? you'd rather face the death penalty than tell the police it was an accidental drowning and probably wouldn't even be prosecuted? there's the hairband in her car, the smell of chloroform in her car, there's composition in her car. it's a pretty powerful circumstantial case. >> the defense, though, instead of poking holes in the prosecution's case, they went about coming up with their own theory, that it was an accident and that caylee drown in the pool and casey's father covered it up. was there one shred of evidence that they put forward to actually prove that theory? >> i'll tell you, you know, baez is such an amateur attorney, that he's going to learn the hard w
