Eyewitness News watched the video with Lee Anthony’s attorney, Tom Luka (watch interview). The video shows the Anthony family’s private eye, Dominic Casey, prodding and poking the ground at the crime scene and on the cell phone with someone.
“Is it Lee?” WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked Luka on Monday.
“No, not that I know of. He denied ever talking to him,” he said.
But Eyewitness News uncovered video of Lee Anthony and Dominic Casey at the jail together right after Lee’s sister Casey was arrested there. So, Kathi Belich asked again.
“Is it Lee on the phone with Dominic Casey?” Belich asked Luka.
“As far as I know, as far as my client is concerned, it’s not him on the phone on November 15th 2008,” Luka said.
“Could it be somebody who Lee spoke with who then went to Dominic Casey and provided information?” Belich asked.
“In the realm of speculation, it could’ve been anyone,” Luka said.
Even though last week Eyewitness News heard that only Dominic Casey’s colleague, private eye Jim Hoover who shot it, had a copy of the videotape at the scene where Caylee’s remains were found almost a month later, Luka said he saw it last week and talked to Dominic Casey about it. Then he backtracked.
“How did you see it last week? Who showed it to you last week?” Belich asked Luka.
“Well, I take that back,” Luka said. “I was not shown it. When it was on TV I saw it.”
“Well, it wasn’t on TV until last night,” Belich told Luka.
“Well, I take that back. I did not see it. Did I see it? No, I did not see that video. I take that back. That was not the video I saw,” he said.
Dominic Casey previously told Eyewitness News he was at the scene in November to rule out the possibility that Caylee’s remains could be there. Then he said he was there to rule out that the area was a teen hangout years ago. Lee’s attorney, though, told Eyewitness News that Dominic Casey told him he was there to rule out a psychic’s tip.
Did you see Dominic Casey’s testimony yesterday? The man is a complete headcase.
