Hello WS
I understand having sympathy for Cindy. For Casey. I have a bleeding heart. But, then I find myself having to pull my sympathy back. This post is my thoughts on this subject and not intended as a 'point to others' to prove a side or anything...I have no intention of dissing a loving emotion with my post. The world needs more love, not less, of course! :blowkiss:
I don't want Casey to get the DP. But I also wouldn't argue
against the DP. I want violent crime to stop happening so that we don't have to even discuss the DP. I am happy I am not the one making those types of decisions and so it truly is "my opinion only", regarding the DP and I don't judge people for being pro DP.
I don't hate Casey or Cindy(I don't
hate anybody), although I
feel hate at times for them. But it is their behavior I hate. As I start to feel compassion for either Cindy or Casey, I think back over choice after choice each was given to take another path. Cindy was told repeatedly by LE that she should stop talking to the media, to anyone about the case. She refused, and defiantly did the exact opposite of what she was told would be best for her granddaughter, daughter and herself.
IMHO, MN quit representing the Anthonys because of Cindy's behavior. He saw the damage she was doing. YM tried to help Casey too, IMHO. He told her she was giving them no choice but to think she was a monster. I know how he feels because that is how I feel too. Like they have given me no choice but to think Casey is a monster. I hate that.
When I ask the question in my posts, "if Cindy has said she knows Casey is not lying, if JB says he has proof that Casey is innocent why hasn't Jose come forward with that proof and what is Cindy doing in the bathroom and not out looking for Zanny?" I am asking for real. I am asking out of my sympathy for this family that was so messed up they let Caylee get taken away from them, I am desperately wanting to understand and have been.
IMO, it's because Cindy does know that Casey killed Caylee and just like her daughter she will not admit it. It is easier to go along with the lie, and that is what might get Casey the DP, IMHO: not anything else.
I can see that when YM(LE), while at Universal studios were giving Casey an out, asking of it was an accident. They allude for her: a young mother, not paying attention, distracted, her mother is hard on her about the baby...terrible accident...life can go on but you have to tell us what happened or you give us no choice but to think you are a monster.(All paraphrased).
But, Casey couldn't admit accident because they would ask where she had put Caylee and when they found her, they would find the duct tape and because Casey didn't know the condition Caylee's body was in-even more evidence she was murdered. Everyone would know she had done it purposely. So, she had to stick with her 'story(s)' and hope Caylee was never found. When Caylee's remains were discovered, she truly had to continue with the story, even changing it up in her recent letters.
Cindy made Casey have the baby. Then she ignored Casey's pregnancy(and that is ignoring Caylee too,
big time IMHO). Cindy even lied to her mother and father when point blank asked if Casey was pregnant. RP, tried telling Cindy exactly what I would have been saying, but Cindy attacked him. I find it difficult to reconcile caring one wit about money when your granddaughter is missing and then found murdered, yet evidence of Cindy and George's greed abound. Cruises were taken, adornments have been purchased and meals have been eaten all from money that came because Caylee was murdered.
I want to have sympathy, and if I saw Cindy in person I would treat her with respect(although I understand the people that scream things at her too) but I would be saying to myself, "how tragic you are, I am so glad I am not you. you would not do things my way and I would not do things your way. And I am glad about that for me and sorry for you."
I understand those that feel no sympathy for Casey and Cindy and I understand those that do: I feel both ways but mostly I feel they created this for themselves and that is what I have sympathy for. The idea that a baby brought out the worst in this family is evident which is telling in itself, and I have a conclusion that says Casey and Cindy would not have sympathy for others in their position.
I do feel sorry for them if they are just realizing what all their choices and jealously and fighting has gotten them but I wonder if either of them will ever take any responsibility? (Get ready to yell at me) I would even say "let her go" if the whole family would admit to everyone everything that happened. We would all know who they were, and Casey would not be allowed to be a mother ever again. That's not going to happen, so I will stop there, you get the point.
Whatever Casey's fate, I feel it has already been sealed. We are just waiting to see what it is...
FWIW: Not AL, nor anyone could sway or convince me regarding the DP. It's not something anyone else could convince me of because it is a "personal" issue. Which is why I wouldn't try to sway anyone else to my thinking. I guess she has swayed some juries? I have not read the threads regarding AL or the DP and since we have reached that subject with this hearing, I will.
