ORLANDO, Fla., -- Casey Anthony's former boyfriend testified Wednesday at her Florida trial she seemed "happy" the day prosecutors allege she killed her daughter Caylee.

Assistant State Attorney Frank George questioned Anthony Lazzaro concerning Casey Anthony's demeanor on June 16, 2008, the day prosecutors allege she spent killing and burying the body of her daughter, Caylee, before meeting Lazzaro for a romantic evening.

"How would you describe her demeanor," George asked.

"It was the way she was every day, happy," Lazzaro said. "Happy to see me."

Lazzaro testified he met Casey Anthony the evening of June 16 and they went to pick out a movie at a video store where a surveillance camera captured the pair walking arm in arm, The Christian Science Monitor reported.
Defense attorney Jose Baez said Casey Anthony's lying was due to alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her father asking about any "secrets" she had told Lazzaro, the Monitor reported. George objected to the question as hearsay and the judge sustained the objection.

Lazzaro, who was studying the music business at Full Sail University in Orlando, Fla., when he met Casey Anthony, was the final witness of the day, the Orlando Sentinel reported. His testimony echoed that of his former roommate and other people who knew the defendant during that period.

Caylee Anthony, 2, was last seen alive June 16, 2008, but her mother did not report her missing for 31 days and then said she had been kidnapped by a babysitter.

Prosecutors say she killed her daughter and dumped the body in a swamp near her parents' Orlando home, where her bones were found months later. The defense says Caylee drowned in a family swimming pool and
Casey Anthony and her father conspired to cover up the death.

Several witnesses who visited Lazzaro or briefly shared his apartment said Casey Anthony never talked about her daughter or said she was worried. Some mentioned meeting Caylee in early June.

"She seemed normal, happy, like everything was fine," Nathan Lezniewicz, a former Full Sail student, said. "Nothing caught my eye as far as mood swings or anything like that."
