She said she went more than half a month without seeing 2-year-old Caylee — a child she had seen pretty much every day of her young life — as daughter Casey Anthony told lie after lie to explain where the little girl was. "It was my way of venting without yelling at her [Casey] and getting on the phone and being upset," Cindy Anthony testified. Casey Anthony... (Associated Press)

 Cindy Anthony testified Saturday at her daughter's murder trial that she and Caylee went swimming on June 15, 2008 _ the last day she saw her granddaughter. Casey Anthony, who is charged with first-degree murder in the toddler's summer 2008 death, wiped away tears with a tissue during her mother's testimony.  The mother of a Florida woman accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter gave a tour of the family home, including a playhouse built for the toddler and the above-ground pool the defense team claims the girl drowned in. Caylee Anthony was last seen alive June 16, 2008, but wasn't reported missing until July 15, 2008. In the back of my mind, I said to myself that' s the smell of decomposition." Casey Anthony's former boyfriend, Anthony Lazzaro, also testified Saturday about the hours after the Anthonys reported Caylee's disappearance to authorities. The supervisor of the tow truck company that removed Casey Anthony's abandoned car while her daughter, Caylee, was missing also testified Friday that the car smelled like a dead body had been in it. The mother of Casey Anthony, the Florida woman accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, broke down in tears today during her daughter's murder trial. Cindy Anthony was not asked directly Saturday whether she thought the young girl drowned. "That particular smell whenever you smell it, it's something that you never forget," George Anthony said. The prosecution asked Cindy Anthony to outline what kind of life Caylee Anthony was living at her grandparents' home with her mother, Casey. Casey Anthony told her there'd been a car accident or she was at work or was in Jacksonville. Casey Anthony has sat solemn and red-faced during her mother's testimony but appeared to tear up and wipe her eyes as Cindy Anthony described a playhouse purchased for Caylee around the time of her second birthday. Jurors on Saturday again heard from Lazzaro, Casey Anthony's ex-boyfriend, who detailed their text messages after Anthony revealed in mid-July 2008 that Caylee was missing. Earlier in the morning, ex-boyfriend Tony Lazzaro testified that Casey sent a text message that said, "If they don't find her, guess who gets blamed and spends eternity in jail." The trial will resume Tuesday in Orlando.
– Casey Anthony's mother had an emotional day on the witness stand today, crying throughout her testimony and at one point asking the judge to remove a photo of Caylee from her view, reports ABC News. She recounted the lies her daughter told to explain the girl's disappearance, with Casey sometimes claiming the girl was with a (nonexistent) nanny or with Casey at her (nonexistent) job. Cindy Anthony also testified that Caylee could not have reached a back-yard pool on her own and that she always removed a ladder the girl used when they were done swimming, note the Orlando Sentinel and AP. (That could shoot a hole in the defense team's claims that Caylee drowned in the pool.) One of Casey Anthony's ex-boyfriends also testified today, and he detailed texts he received from her.
