Anthony's admit to Conflicting Statements Seek Full Immunity

[Skully]

Sorry, no immunity here. This could have ended months ago and millions of dollars of tax payer money could have been saved. You don't get to lie about a murder investigation and just say, oh well, we MISTRUTHED TO YOU, we won't do it again, now that you have evidence that leads to our home that Caylee was murdered here. OK, we will stop being bad, we will tell you the truth now that you have us back up against a wall, with no where to go. I have not bashed them on this thread for 5 months giving them the benefit of the doubt, but this statement really gets me. Why are they so special and their daughter so special they get FREE attorneys and legal advice and god knows what else. If anyone of us had done this, (not that we would) we would be facing the DP, and court appointed counsel.

I feel for them, I do, but there is a limit to how much you should be able to do and get a free pass.

I hate to be such a skeptic, but what if they want to disavow all their previous statements so that their new one can build a better defense for Casey and themselves, for any possible perjury, obstruction or activity as accessories? I don't want to be mean, but they have earned the distrust they get. I think LE and the prosecution have actually been quite kind and patient with them, in the face of all the insults hurled at them by the A's. They should be willing to just tell the truth, for Caylee. If they have lied under oath, it's serious. As the accessory statute makes clear, it doesn't matter if you are covering for a family member if harm to a child is involved. Maybe they should try the novel approach of just telling the truth first, as most of us would do in a serious criminal investigation.

Well, if they can't prosecute them for public statements, what does that leave? Immunity for what?

Either knowingly destroying evidence or lying in their sworn statements.For example :George saying he saw Casey and Caylee on the 16th if he didn't.At the end of her 1st interview when Cindy was asked to swear that what she told LE was the truth she said something about not realizing this would be sworn testimony. Big honking red flag.JMO

 

[Blackwatch]

I hope this is sincere for Caylee's sake. I have felt bad for these people several times. My last wolf cry was George's GJ testamony. I felt bad for him. then he started the spin. So I'm having a really hard time believing anything they say then or now.
I don't think they should be aloud immunity. LE has what they need. What the public needs is for LE to stand up to these grandparents and file charges for any wrong doing. No one is above the law. If they let them slide on obstruction and any other charges. I know we will see this type of thing from other perps families. I don't think it's right and it needs to be nipped in the bud.
Grieving or not they broke the law! A missing family member does not give any one the right to break the law. Even just a little bit.

JMO!!

I totally agree. The "clap" icon seems to be missing or I would have given you 10 of them.

Well, if they can't prosecute them for public statements, what does that leave? Immunity for what?

Lying to law enforcement, concealing information, not giving LE the evidence they asked for: purchase receipts, Caylee's clothing so the dogs could have her scent, giving them Casey's hairbrush when LE specifically asked for Caylee's..................

 

[Andy H.]

I admit it, I voted yes. Part of me wants the truth for Caylee from all those who had no hand in killing her and part of me believes the family really thought she could be alive even if the probability was very small.
If however anyone--including family members--are found to have aided and abbeted hiding her little body, than no immunity deal can cover this.

 

[Blackwatch]

I think it's likely that George has given crucial information to investigators. I don't much care if he's lied to the media and the public--so long as he's given authorities what is needed to convict his daughter.

I am not sure that Cindy is in an emotional state that promotes anything except scrabbling for comfort whereever she can get it, even in "mis-truth." I think all bets are off when it comes to predicting her behavior. At least for a while.

Her self-protective mode may slowly be turned down as she accepts the truth that is being made clearer by the day. When that occurs, I think we may be surprised to find that Cindy is not the monster she is portrayed as being. I think she's a woman who's worked hard all her life to take care of her family. I think she's done the best she knew how. Now she will learn new ways.

I'm not opposed to immunity for the Anthonys. I believe they have found themselves amid horror that no one could possibly anticipate---and as such, there are no blueprints for appropriate response.

With immunity, they can begin to make amends to the universe for the loss of their Caylee--by telling the truth. I am sure there is a good deal more they know, whether related to the crime itself, or simply useful in terms of providing insight into Casey's mind.

I think it would be a shame to squander that information. And I don't see what purpose would be served by prosecuting them. I'm not convinced they obstructed justice---after all, Cindy's the one who called 911. They have been a thorn in Leonard Padilla's and Tim Miller's sides, but they haven't thrown up any real roadblocks. They've simply run their mouths a lot.

Irking WS isn't prison-worthy, IMO.

I have to say that their new attorney is exactly who they needed. It's a shame they were not receptive to what I have to assume was similar guidance from Mark NeJame. But they were unglued at that time. I see two people pulling themselves together--and I am hopeful it's for the right reasons.

Bolding mine

Yes, Cindy called 911 31 days later. How long does it take for a body to decompose in the Florida heat?

My opinion only

 

[pinkhistorybuff]

It's too late and it's too bad. I don't believe they will ever tell the truth.

 

[SimplyCherokee]

I personally can't even stand the thought of LE granting immunity for the A's. I understand that CA is their daughter and they wanted to stand by her, but little CA was lying in a garbage bag. This child was defensless and completely innocent and did not deserve this from the people that were supposed to love and protect her. The thought of immunity for them makes me furious.

 

[essies]

1. Does LE really need their testimony now?
2.How will we know it's the truth? They won't do lie detector-Conway calls it "hocus pocus."
3.Immunity from who-OCSC or FBI?
My opinion(for what it's worth)-Too little, too late. You're not doing this for your little granddaughter that you and your twisted daughter let rot basically in your backyard. You're doing this because you're not as smart as you thought you were and LE is not as dumb as you thought they were and God decided to put an end to your dog and pony show. G & C &KC & maybe LEE must deal with the consequences of their actions! Do I have compassion? Yes, but that has nothing to do with consequences-it's something we all must live with.:twocents:

 

[cocowiley]

depends on what the A's version of the truth is, it seems to be a little different than ours..they should only get a deal if it leads to the conviction of casey.

 

[Eponine]

I voted take the deal at first, but after thinking about it--no way. LE's way smart enough to be able to find the truth without G and C's little deal.

 

[tiredofthis]

No.Charge them and maybe consider a plea bargain if LE is satisfied they are finally telling the truth.
They shouldnt be allowed to use the truth as a bargaining chip.
They SAW TO IT that Caylee laid out there in the mud like road kill for 6 months!!!

I posted earlier before I read your post about road kill. Now that you've put it that way, I don't think they should be given immunity.

 

[madeleine]

They are not testifying against Al Capone,they want immunity only to save their skins.

Please correct me if I am wrong.What would they want it for if not to save their own @@@@@?

 

[mydailyopinions]

Are they asking for immunity from OSCD or from the FBI? Wouldn't that be 2 seperate agreements?
I personally think if George lied, it was only about the gas can incident on the 24th and or the last time he seen Caylee on the 16th. But then again, we don't know what clothes if any they found at the scene, it could very well be what he seen her wearing. Now, I know he said what he did on LKL, but Cindy was sitting next to him. George is a different man when he is without Cindy.
I think the thing Cindy will need immunity for is for the tips coming in, also for failing to tell LE about the fight she and Casey had the night of the 15th. I do think she left it out because she knew it would scream "intent" I don't think she will need immunity for washing any clothes. She told them she did it right away, and how was she to know at that point that her grand daughter was dead?
Right now, unless their fingerprints are on anything incriminating at that crime scene, I would say give them immunity.
I would hope that Cindy and George would give LE the courtsey of an apology at some point in time, they don't have to do it in public, but at the very least let those guys know that they are sorry for what they have said, and thank them for helping put Caylee to rest properly.

My opinion only

The 31 days is disturbing. But I haven't seen any evidence that indicates that, during that time, Cindy had any reason to believe that Casey was doing any more than simply stringing her along, spitefully keeping Caylee from talking to her as punishment for whatever occurred on June 15.

I think Cindy thought she was calling Casey's bluff by calling 911. Using the call as leverage to get Casey to produce Caylee--to bring her home.

I don't think she had even an inkling the can of worms she was opening. She had a lying, lazy thief of a daughter--all of which she expended a great deal of time and energy denying, even then. But I really don't think she'd ever contemplated that she had a murderous one.

Look, I think they have handled themselves--and most importantly, the memory of Caylee--very poorly. I think they've been disrespectful to their grandbaby, and to LE, and to the public. Even before any of this was even a thought in Casey's mind, they did a huge disservice to her and to their entire family by enabling her.

I have no idea whether Casey was a lost cause from the get-go. Sociopaths are recidivists--they aren't curable. But they are guide-able. And they didn't provide appropriate guidance.

But I maintain that their pathologies are the result of living with Casey, not vice versa. They did the best they could, even if it wasn't that great. (Having been raised by a sociopath, I'm hard-pressed to think of a "great" outcome, or "great" way to interact with one; quite simply, there are simply illusions of relationships--they are human black holes.)

 

[Dr. Pennypacker]

NO WAY!
They should be punished for what they did just like Casey should be punished for what she did.
LE has the evidence they don't need the wishy-washy A family.
Besides how could you ever be certain with them that they are telling the full truth.
half truths to them are as could as telling the whole truth
FRY 'EM!

The 31 days has always bothered me. Both a nurse and an ex sheriff's deputy would know the body would be badly decomposed by then. Add to that the "script for 30 days" and something really stinks. Of course all is just my opinion, and in my opinion there should be NO IMMUNITY.

 

[nursebeeme]

I voted for immunity in exchange for TRUTH. However, that being said, in the same breath I am not sure I TRUST them to tell the truth. My vote would be changed completely, however, if any of the evidence at the home and cs has their blood (figuratively) on it.
