cronk -- and again we are not saying mr. cronk had anything to do with caylee's death. but mr. cronk is a morally bankrupt individual who actually took caylee's body and hid her. there was a $225,000 reward in this case. but it was for a live caylee. mr. cronk didn't read the fine print. and he thought he had himself a lottery ticket. >> reporter: but when cronk took the stand today, defense attorney cheney mason over and over tried and seemed to fail to paint cronk as a man attempting to cash in on a child's death. >> do you remember talking also to the detectives about the issue of the reward you were looking for? >> we were discussing the crime line tip,sy. we weren't talking about the other ones, sir. >> you were joking, you say, with alex roberts and the others about finding this body? >> no. we were joking about the money, sir. i never joked about finding the body, sir. that's not what i said. >> reporter: cronk said he went into the wood to relieve himself on august 11, 2008 and saw something that looked like a skull. he called police. >> i'm a meter reader with orange c

cronk because he had control of caylee's remains for obviously several months. where he found her, we do not know. nor will we ever know. >> so sunny, jose baez, defense attorney there trying to make cronk look like a bad guy. was he successful at doing that? >> i don't know if he was successful. they really neededed a home run. i think they got more of a base hit basically. they got him to say some interesting things because his story is a bit curious. he called 911 three times in august and no one responded and he calls again in december, december 11 of 2008 and he does find her remains. everyone else was searching in the act same place. his story was curious. they pointed it out. did they make him look like a morally bankrupt individual? i don't think they can say that. >> first here, let's listen to cindy anthony. >> prior to december 2008, did you tell your son lee anthony that ed sent dominic casey and/or jim hoover to look for casey with a video camera? >> i never told anybody that i sent those guys there because i never sent those guys there. >> okay, no

his name is roy cronk, a utility meter reader. the prosecution hopes to convince the jury the key piece of ed in the case, the duct tape found on caylee's face may have been placed there by cronk, not casey. >> there's no good reason at the scene why they shouldn't be there. >> and what does that tell you? >> what that indicates is that the body was moved or transported from some other location to the site where it was -- where it discovered. >> reporter: irt sounded like what casey anthony and her team wanted to hear, that the body was transferred to the woods weeks or months after the little girl died the then the prosecution swung into action. >> do you mean to suggest to this jury that this body, fully skeletonized in another location and was then moved? >> no, sir, i did not say that. >> reporter: the prosecution theory is that casey anthony murdered her daughter, put the body of caylee in her car for a few days, and then disposed of it in the woods. but before prosecutor jeff ashton drilled down on that, he made fun of exper

the defense is still questioning roy cronk, the meter reader who found caylee's body. to weigh-in on all the of this, holly hughes. she's here with me in studio, we'll get to the anthony family in a moment, i want to ask you about roy cronk, the meter reader, he found the body, called it in, we have the 911 calls that were just played in court. the defense is claiming that he took little caylee's body and hid it. how did he do in court today? >> i think he's holding up pretty well. it's pretty safe to say, he doesn't come across as a criminal mastermind, okay? he is thinking carefully about his answers, and i think he comes across as not having any gile. this is not a man who's trying to trip anybody up, he's thinking carefully, he's being delibera deliberate. i may have said that, but i'm not sure. >> all the defense has to do is confuse the jury, right? >> maybe he was involved and if wasn't casey. >> exactly, and if they can do that -- if they can convince somebody on that jury that roy kronk put the duct tape on the remains, they take the murder weapon out of casey
