One year ago, the two ate breakfast together. Around 1 p.m. on June 16, Caylee hugged George and kissed him goodbye as she walked out the door with her mom, Casey.

George Anthony never dreamed that it would be the last time he would ever see his granddaughter, or that a year later, people would be leaving stuffed animals, roses and toys at a makeshift memorial for the toddler.

Though the memorial was removed last month, as of 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, there were a half dozens stuffed animals and at least two signs. One read "Cindy don't touch," the other read, "and you too George."

But just half an hour later, the signs were gone and so were the stuffed animals. A one of George and Cindy’s neighbor put it, the public has had their time to mourn, now they want their neighborhood back.

From the Orlando Sentinel:

The public will not see the video of Casey Anthony the day she learned a child's remains were found less than a mile from her home.

Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland ordered today that the video taken at the Orange County Jail on Dec. 11 be sealed.

"While the court is loathe to shield any public record, an argument can certainly be made that the contents of the video are highly inflammatory," Strickland wrote in his three-page order.

In making his decision, he watched the video and applied a legal three-part test, which included whether the video could impact a potential jury pool.
 
Crowd Gathers To Remember Caylee At Memorial

Caylee Anthony was remembered in a memorial that was not attended by one single member of the Anthony family. A small group met Tuesday night at Blanchard Park to remember Caylee.

The memorial was organized by Richard Grund, the father of Casey's former fiancé who didn't attend the service.

However, his father did read a letter written by Jesse.

"I miss Caylee everyday. Neither tomorrow, nor the day after will change that," read Richard Grund.

At the end of the service, balloons with Caylee's name and butterflies were released.

UPDATED: Judge Seals Jailhouse Video Of Casey Anthony

"While the Court is loathe to shield any public record, an argument can certainly be made that the contents of the video are highly inflammatory," Judge Stan Strickland wrote in his order. "Considering the matter and penalty at hand, it does not seem too great a restraint to limit access to the video in question. Therefore, the defendant's Motion to Seal the videotape is granted, and it must not be released for viewing by the general public or media, until further order of the court."

However, the Orlando Sentinel had filed a motion to intervene, which Judge Strickland granted Wednesday.

Rachel Fugate, the attorney for the Orlando Sentinel -- which had filed the aforementioned motion to unseal the video -- said Judge Strickland was prudent in his ruling.

"We certainly wish the videotape would have been released, but we certainly appreciate the consideration the judge gave to this matter," said Fugate. "We don't have any reason to believe there was something wrong in his ruling."

Sheaffer said the ruling does not mean the video can't be used as evidence in the trial. That decision will come later. The judge did point out that sealing the video could be just a delay and that at some point after the trial is over the video might be released.

Anthony Reaction Video To Stay Sealed

The public will not see a video that shows Casey Anthony's reactions the day she learned her daughter's remains were found near her home.

Judge Stan Strickland ruled Wednesday to seal the video taken at the Orange County Jail on Dec. 11. He worried the video, if released, could taint potential jurors. Defense attorneys have asked the trial be moved to South Florida because of the intense media coverage in Orlando.

Judge Stan Strickland ruled Wednesday to seal the video taken at the Orange County Jail on Dec. 11. He worried the video, if released, could taint potential jurors. He called the contents of the video "highly inflammatory."

Defense attorneys have asked the trial be moved to South Florida because of the intense media coverage in Orlando. A hearing has not been scheduled yet to determine whether the case will be moved out of central Florida.

Judge Seals Casey Anthony Jail Video
Court: Video Of Anthony From Day Remains Found 'Highly Inflamatory'
POSTED: 1:39 pm EDT June 17, 2009

"Given the nature and scope of pretrial publicity, it is not unreasonable to assume that many persons in the potential jury pool might view this video and develop a 'hardened' attitude in reference to the defendant's guilt," the order read.

The order went on to say that only a change of venue could conceivably protect Anthony's right to a fair trial if the video were to be released. Anthony's attorneys have filed a motion for a change of venue, but it has not been heard.


Last week, the state released about 1,000 pages in depositions and other evidence in its case against Anthony. However, George and Cindy Anthony succeeded on in the effort to at least temporarily block the release of granddaughter Caylee Anthony's autopsy report.

Strickland is expected to hold a hearing on the matter sometime this week.

Casey Anthony: Jail videotape 'so damaging,' judge rules

For now, the public won't see it, Judge Stan Strickland decided today.

"People who've seen it, though, tell WESH 2 that Casey doubles over repeatedly while watching television news coverage of a child's remains being found near her home," WESH-Channel 2 anchor Martha Sugalski said. The remains were later identified as 2-year-old Caylee Anthony, and Casey Anthony is charged with her daughter's murder.

WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said Anthony's right to a fair trial outweighed the public's right to see the video. "The court is very concerned that she may, in fact, not get that fair trial," he said. "It would also be damning to the defense and their efforts to seat a fair and impartial jury if, in fact, this was released."

A decision on whether the tape will be used in the trial will come later, WFTV's Deal reported, drawing on Sheaffer's expertise. Strickland also said the tape might be released after the trial, Deal added.

A former Orange County Jail inmate says she witnessed guards physically restrain accused killer Casey Anthony. Just moments after Anthony learned that the state was seeking the death penalty, the ex-inmate says Casey went berserk and had to be strapped to a bed.

The story grabbed national headlines. Until tonight, the Seminole County woman ducked all local media. FOX 35 investigator is the first local reporter to sit down with Anthony&#8217;s ex-jail mate and challenge the ex-con's claims, in a story you'll see only on FOX.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, a former Orange County Jail inmate tells the website that Casey Anthony flipped out the day she found out prosecutors wanted to go after the death penalty in her criminal case, adding that prison officials had to restrain her.

The inmate said in the online report, "She had tears in her eyes. She was screaming, 'I am pissed! I am pissed!' She looked into my room and said help me."

Teri Thomas spent time in the jail under the name Teri Narsesian for a violation of probation on a bad check conviction.
