In one video, Cindy Anthony tells Casey that a lot of people are participating in the search for her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, and that the toddler's photo is going to appear on the cover of People magazine, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
"Everybody is looking for her. Are we going to be able to find her?," Cindy Anthony asked after making Anthony look her in the eye, reports the paper.
"I hope we can, mom," Casey responded.
After that video was shown, the state played a video from when her brother Lee Anthony came to visit.
"The police need to know that you are working with them," said Lee to his sister in the videotape.
Throughout the visit she complains about police investigators misconstruing her words and explains that the focus has not been on Caylee.
"Honestly, I'll sit here as long as I have to. My only concern is Caylee," she says in the recording.
Anthony then gave her brother a list of people who could be trusted, which included her mother and father.
Defense attorney Jose Baez objected to the videos being played for the jury. The state argued, and the judge agreed, that Baez had nearly three years to have the tapes edited. Judge Belvin Perry denied Baez's motion, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.
After the recorded conversations were released to the public in 2008, Casey Anthony stopped all jail visitations. According to public records, no one but her attorneys have visited Anthony behind bars since then, reports the station.
The Casey Anthony case was recently reported on by "48 Hours Mystery."
