March 2 — A motion hearing in the Casey Anthony case begins in an Orlando, Fla., courtroom in front of Judge Belvin Perry. The first to take the stand are Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony. Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, questions both about their daughter's dealings with detectives after Cindy Anthony called 911 and reported her granddaughter missing.
Orange County Sheriff's Detective Yuri Melich is also called to testify. Baez asks Melich why he had not read Anthony her Miranda rights prior to the start of the investigation into the case. Melich testified he did not do so at that point because she was not considered a suspect.
"She was the mother of a missing child. She wasn't being interrogated as a suspect of a crime," Melich said.
March 3 — Casey Anthony's father, George Anthony, and her brother, Lee Anthony, testify before Judge Belvin Perry about their involvement in the search for Caylee.
