The man who found Caylee Anthony's remains says despite all he's been through, he'd do it all over again if he had to.
But Roy Kronk said not all things are looking good for the former Orange County meter reader.
He said he just wants his life back.
On Friday, after the second round of questioning by Casey Anthony's defense, Kronk maintains he was using the restroom when he found Caylee's remains.
For the first time, Kronk's responding to allegations he's abused his wife, and told family members before he discovered the remains, he was going to be on TV.
"Of anybody involved in this mess, he's going to be one guy who's going to come out with his reputation intact and his dignity intact," said David Evans, Kronk’s attorney.
However, Kronk said his name and reputation have been pulled through the mud.
"It’s been very difficult for me,” Kronk said. “That's all I'll say. There's been some horrible things said about me. Said I was a child predator, child molester, all this other stuff and some people believe it."
This all surfaced after Kronk’s ex-wives came out and said he was abusive, threatened to kill them, restrained them with duct tape, and said he shouldn't be around young girls.
"He’s got problems with past spouses and family members,” Evans said. “There's no secret about that. I think probably some of these people are looking for 15 minutes of fame or doing it out of malice with intent to be harmful to Roy."
The release of the interviews was a move the defense took to show Kronk should have been investigated for Caylee's murder, and that there's just as much circumstantial evidence pointing to Kronk as there is Anthony.
"Anything that we're trying to do here would be focusing on establishing reasonable doubt on various aspects of the case," said Cheney Mason, one of Anthony’s lawyers.
The defense finished questioning Kronk around lunchtime.
Kronk said he is still struggling to find work
Both sides will meet again. They'll have to go in front of Judge Belvin Perry to see if the defense can bring up Kronk's alleged past.
It'll be a critical hearing for the defense as they try to point the finger at someone else other than Anthony.
