IMO, the A's don't believe a word they are saying, they are just hoping somebody else will.
You've nailed it- They are not in denial- they are playing- deny, deny, deny. There's a big difference.
Had the A's said from day one, "We don't know the truth, so we will wait for the trial, before we make any statements, or judgements, and concentrate on finding Caylee, and not say or do anything that will hurt our daughter." The public could have respected that.
But to lie, accuse innocents, not personally look for Caylee, refuse to accept she may not be alive, which was so unjust to Caylee's little remains, run around chasing the media, collecting money off Caylee's pictures, even before the child was found, refusing to assist LE in anyway they can, refusing to take a lie detector test, giving a wrong item (brush)to the LE, washing evidence, (pants, etc.), CA, claiming to love Caylee so much, yet claiming she wrote suicide notes before Caylee was even found (whith KC in jail, what if the LE had found Caylee alive- who did CA think would take care of Caylee? (How very selfish) This tells me that they knew Caylee was dead
very early on, they refused to give up that she was alive, but willing to brag how they considered suidcide. No wonder KC is so screwed up- both parents
are very self centered- always drama, drama, drama. Look up the story of the little boy who cried wolf, and you'll see their pictures.
It just gives one the impression that, the entire family is in a contest of who is suffering the most. It's all about me, me, me.
It's amazing the number of people I've met in my lifetime, who live with blinders on, with the mentality that, if I don't admit it, or talk about it, it didn't happen. Meanwhile, the rest of population looks at them, seeing the obvious, and the truth, and wondering how they can live with themselves.
I had sympathy for them in the beginning, however, I feel so much better now, that little Caylee is safely with Jesus. Only God knows what that child has seen and suffered in her short lifetime. I don't think I even want to know.
If the A's did indeed get a quarter of a million dollars for Caylee's pictures, that is maybe, only about 4-5 years of their salary. When one has money, one must work to keep it. So in a year or so when the trial is over and KC is convicted, no one will want to talk to the A's or hear anymore from them in the media. CA may write a book, but who is going to want to read it, after all her lies. Certainly, it will not be about the truth, as the A's will never admit to the truth. They will have to go back to work, and who is going to want to hire them? They lie so much, who will trust them? They're faces have been on every TV channel, therefore, bringing unwanted attention to a workplace, (Oh, Wait, That's what happened to ZG, wasn't it? And, she didn't even go looking for it, and look what it cost her.) H-m-m
