DIRECT EXAMINATION
15
BY MS. DRANE BURDICK[Resumed]:
16
Q Good morning. Today's date is July 29th,
17
2009. And this is the continuation of the deposition
18
of Cynthia Marie Anthony. Mrs. Anthony, you've been
19
sworn again this morning; correct?
20
21 A Yes.
22 Q Okay. I'm going to ask you just the same
23 basic questions that I did at the beginning of the
24 deposition yesterday. Are you today under the
25 influence of any drugs or alcohol?
187
1
A Just my prescription medicine.
2
Q All right. Like I asked yesterday, do you
3
feel that that is affecting your ability to understand
4
what's happening here today?
5
A No.
6
Q And do you feel comfortable answering
7
questions?
8
A Yes.
9
Q Okay. If there is something that I say that
10
you don't understand, you will interrupt me and let me
11
know that; correct?
12
A Yes.
13
 Okay. Have you eaten and slept since last
14
night?
15
A I didn't sleep real well last night.
16
Q Okay.
17
A But I did have some Instant Breakfast this
18
morning, which is all I can do in the morning.
188
Q R i g h t .
Q
19
A So --
20
Q Do you --
21
A As good as it gets.
22
Q All right. Do you feel, even though you
23
didn't sleep that good last night, that you've had
24
sufficient sleep to proceed forward with the
25

188
deposition?
2 A All I can say is I'm as good as I am in the
3 morning so --
4 Q Okay. I was advised that there were times
5 yesterday when you and I would talk over each other.
6 So that makes it difficult for the court reporter to
7 transcribe the proceedings. So if you -- and I'll do
this as well. If you can wait until I finish asking a
8
9 question, you might think that you know where I'm going
10 and start answering, but just for her sake, if nothing
11 else, if we could try to be cognizant of the fact that
we're doing that to each other.
12
13 Additionally, since this is an audio record,
14 we have to answer yes and no. A lot of times people
will say uh-huh/huh-uh, which when you're looking face
15
to face, it's apparent that it's a yes or a no
16
response. Since we don't have video, in the audio she
17
might be here, make a notation that that was an
18

19
affirmative response just so there's no question later
20
on, if it is an issue, that you said yes or you said no
21
in response to a certain area of questioning; okay?
22
A Okay.
23
Q All right. Yesterday in asking some of the
24
questions about the cellphones, you had indicated that
25
sometime last summer Lee had purchased, you think
189
through AT&T, what you all were referring to as Bat
2 phones --
3
A Uh-huh. Yes.
4
Q diSposable phones that you could talk to
5
each other on because there was some concern about your
6
home phone being tapped?
7
A Our cellphones.
8
Q Cellphones as well?
9 A Uh-huh.
10
11
 All right.
12
A Yes.
13
 Now, you had Lee's Bat phone number as
14
407/432-0624 in your phone. Do you remember yours?
15
A No.
16
17 Q Last night did you have an opportunity to try
18
to look for any of that information?
19
20 A No. The phone is not charged. I don't, you
21  know --
22 Q Okay. How about -- you said Casey had a Bat
23 phone --
24
A Yes.
25
Q -- as well? Do you recall the number that -A
No.
you would use?
Q --
A I don't remember phone numbers.
11 90
Q Okay. Is the same true of George?
2
A Yes.
3
Q I had asked you, I believe, if Dominic Casey
4.

had a -Bat phone.
5
A Correct.
6
Q Okay. And you said no?
7
A That's correct.
8
Q Did you know him to have more than one
9
cellphone?
10
A I believe he did.
11
Q All right. Did you call him on more than one
12
cellphone?
13
A Yes.
14
15 Q Do you have those cellphone numbers?
A I think I have one cellphone for him.
16
Because, again, my phone died on Monday and we could
17
only retrieve what was saved to my SIM card. Not all
18
19 the numbers were on my SIM card.
20
Q Okay. What number do you have for him
21
currently?
22
A [Examining] 407/448-4565.
23
Q Do you believe that to be a recent number or
24
is that a number that you've had for him since you
25
employed him?
A That's the original number.
