"Cindy reveals that George wasn't the only one who considered suicide. She did, too," "Early Show" anchor Maggie Rodriguez told me. "She wrote several suicide notes. Then Casey came home for the first time. When they released her the first time, Cindy says they sat together and prayed, and Casey kept her from going through with it."

That struck me more than anything else from the interview. So why, when Casey was charged with only the lesser crimes and Cindy knew she'd be making bail at some point -- and when Cindy says she believed Casey -- would she write several suicide notes? Not just one in an isolated moment of anguish, apparently, but SEVERAL notes?
Wouldn't she want to be home to see/help Casey when she got bailed out? Wouldn't she want to help find Caylee and be there for her when she came home? Why would she want to kill herself before Casey had been arrested for murder and, especially, before Caylee's remains were found -- she was insisting Caylee was alive and was being spotted somewhere just about every day.
And when Caylee WAS found, she was so utterly despondent -- so
suicidal -- that she had to go to a nice hotel for some fine dining with her PIs, attorneys and a media liaison just hours after learning of the find.
If she really were suicidal (and if we look at the truth of the situation, I can see why she might be), then it follows that she knew Casey's story was nothing but one big lie after another; that the smell in the car was exactly what she thought it was; and that she knew without a doubt that Caylee was gone and never coming home again.
Cindy is so like Casey in thinking that if she insists something is true, people will just
have to believe her. That woman just talks
too much. They all -- including Casey -- would be in far better shape today if Cindy had just kept her trap shut all along.
On the bright side, inserting foot in mouth each time she speaks is helpful to the prosecution, so it's not all bad. :crazy:
ETA: I believe that the Anthonys are not only on a crusade to try to influence public opinion on behalf of Casey herself, but to try to engender as much sympathy for themselves as possible in hopes that their own pitiful plight might be enough to sway a juror not to cause them any further pain (or push them past the brink toward suicide) by convicting their daughter.
