A debate about what kind of scientific evidence will be allowed at Casey Anthony's trial developed into one of the most contentious courtroom battles in her murder case.
At one point this morning, Chief Judge Belvin Perry shouted at the attorneys, something he never does. "Just a second," he yelled. "Everyone be quiet."
Tension escalated today between defense attorney Jose Baez and Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton, prompting Perry to threaten to fine them if the battle continues.
He's said to both Ashton and Baez that if their bickering and nasty comments and disrespect continues this afternoon, he will have them pay $100 each as a penalty.
"You're supposed to be seasoned lawyers," Perry said. "I look for a certain level of professionalism. I've had enough of the back and forth between the two of you."
Cindy used Febreze on car
Earlier, defense attorney Jose Baez called Casey's mother, Cindy Anthony, to the stand. They discussed air and chloroform issues from the Pontiac Sunfire that Casey was driving before Caylee Marie vanished.
A witness for the state found extremely high chloroform levels in the trunk of the car.
Cindy testified about airing out the car in mid July 2008. She said she sprayed the entire car with Febreze and placed dryer sheets, fabric softeners throughout the vehicle.
Cindy Anthony says the car was possibly aired out for 10 hours at the home. Air samples were never conducted on her home garage.
She says she had no chloroform at the home. "I've never worked with chloroform or been around chloroform," she said.
Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton asked why she did not speak about the dryer sheets during her deposition. Cindy said she was on new antidepressant drugs at the time. She recalls new things over time.
She also described the odor from the car again, saying, "At that time it was the worst thing I had ever smelled in my life."
