Video: Deposition of Jim Hoover in defamation case against Casey Anthony parts 1 through 4


Private investigator Jim Hoover (L) and attorney John Liguori.

Private investigator Jim Hoover was deposed on Wednesday by the attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez in the defamation case against Casey Anthony. 

Anthony claimed she had a babysitter named Zenaida Gonzalez who abducted her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.  Caylee’s remains were found Dec. 11 and Gonzalez has been cleared of any wrongdoing.  Gonzalez claims her life has been ruined since the public accusations.

During the deposition, Hoovers talks about his role in the investigation, his relationship with the Anthony family, Jose Baez and Casey Anthony, and his interactions with Anthony family private investigator Dominic Casey. 

Hoover also talks about the day he and Dominic Casey went to the wooded area where Caylee Anthony’s remains were eventually found about a month later by utility worker Roy Kronk.

    Yes, she really is no one that isn't would wait that long even if she was scared or metally ill, she would be that rude, disgusting or kiniving. She just doesn't care, sociopath, not only is she cold blooded to her baby, but her friends by stealing from them.

    roberrrrrttt, u have ur opinion but if it was an accident how about 911?? She never called 911...NEVER!! Cindy did & doesn't look like she was gonna, 31 days did go by afterall!! Say she freaked......how about the truth when she got busted, wouldn't that be more logical? If it was an accident & she had Caylee's best interest at heart, she would tell what happened to her baby & face less charges?? Doesn't make sense about all the BS.....why put her family thru all of this if it was an accident, JMO but she doesn't care!!

    omg Robert mothers kill their children and casey is one of them i do not believe for one moment it was accidental, i think it was all premeditated and very well thought out. she is a liar and a very manipulative woman she is not a kid she is a grown up and needs to be held responsible for what she has done. As for cindy and george they need to open their eyes and face reality lee also what a dysfunctional family they are they really should be ashamed of themselves............... a poor child is dead

    I think 100% no doubt in mind that she did kill caylee,just because she wants to party so much with frinds,so 2 end her problems she just did what she wanted to do to caylee for freedom,not only that she was too jealous of her own daughters attention from the grandparents,shes very cruel and hearless biotch.she shows no emotions whatsoever of what she had done to beautiful caylee.omg! casey your not getting away with this trust me,justice will be served,maybe not now but the day will come and it will hunt your life forever,caylee's spirit lives on,i think cindy is more on caseys because she regrets of the arguments between her and casey,that ended casey to murdering her daughter.george i feel sorry for you,you are the only one who sticks to your grandaughter,i know deep down that you truly love her so much and even how much you want to say something,you just cant because of cindy and casey,dnt worry we understand you,but the rest of you cindy and lee you guys are very cold hearted ppl.CMA (casey marie anthony)hahaha!

    hello to everyone yes casey is a killer and she did not have a accident.she did this to her baby after her and her mom had a agurement with her the day of the 15th of june that evening when she came back with caylee.that was the night casey stormed out with caylee and then killed her.she deserves everything that comes to her.l think the death penalty wont go but life without parole is what she needs.l wish someone can get her before the trial but we all have to wait.maybe if she get convicted she will go for life which is better so that she can fight all she wants they will get her .l am not a strong believer of the dp.it does not serve the purpose think about it there will be no differance.the life without parole will .l hate anyone that kills their baby but casey should get hers later.if she does make it out and not charged all the people she use to know will no longer be there for her.l am scared that she will have a baby again and she kills that one thats all.hope justice is served
