Oh, they lied, no question. But with the remains discovered, I think their new lawyer had a very rough 'come to Jesus' talk with them and they realize NOW it's time to tell the truth. They screwed up big time with what they have been spewing until now - but if they want to come clean, I say let them. Caylee deserves the truth, even if it's coming several months late.
Zuckerschnecke, yours is simply the first one of the long line of posts I've read stating this same perspective, so don't feel I'm taking it out on you when I say.....
George and Cindy want to impress upon the world that they've taught their child to tell the truth. This child has repeatedly told lies and lies and lies with regard to the disappearance of her own child. The support a parent gives a child should CEASE when the child lies. That is not to say a parent has to stop loving the child. But they pass off their heartbreak of their liarpants daughter onto the world at large and HIDE the fact that she is lying by telling lies of their own. This is NOT good parenting, and no matter how many times people want to say that a parent will do anything to help their child, needs a slap of reality (no offense JDB). This reality looks a lot like Caylee Anthony's rotting corpse in a garbage bag.
A parent who supports a liar when there is a small child at risk and potentially dead deserves the full force of the law of the land to come down upon them. In every instance, the Anthony family has demonstrated how they have parented their children. They have denied, lied, twisted, hid, and otherwise obscured the TRUTH from observers, and when those observers continue to press that they are all lying, they ban from their lives the person who would dare speak that truth.
The entire time they have been thrust into the public eye because of their daughter's behavior, they have been attempting to pull down the black curtain that would allow the world to see into their family life and see it for what it really is: A messed up dysfunctional chaotic nightmare. In order to do that, I believe they did more than just tell lies. I believe they dug themselves into the trench of illegal behavior, defined as it will be by any potential charges the police feel justified in making against them. It is NOT the fault of anyone else but the Anthony's, because as I have stated many times on this website, in the time of stress, people dig into the thing that gets them through their day to day lives in an accelerated manner. This behavior of lying and hiding and attacking, then, is how they have ALWAYS conducted themselves, and it is in this situation that the rest of the world has been given a front seat view.
The Anthony's had a choice to make. Their choice was to lie and get in the way of LE and the investigation into the disappearance and all liklihood death of their granddaughter, who has never been more than a superficial consideration as they all worked together to cover up the sickness in their family.
Too bad for them. Again, my compassion will be in that they are able to find a way to live with the consequences of what they have chosen to do throughout this, and NOT in that the law will give them immunity to avoid those consequences.
