When the news of Caylee's disappearance first hit national news and Cindy's 911 tape describing the car was played, and their grief seemed overwhelming that I felt the press was intrusive enough to rip at my heartstrings to say to myself "Why aren't they letting these people alone so they can deal with this mess!??!" Only to have the documents begin trickling out and reading information and hearing Cindy and George's own statements about what happened, only to have my BS meter start going off right and left.
When they would hold press conferences to take the opportunity to plead to the "kidnappers" for Caylee's release, only to hear a long dissertation of Cindy's lack of sleep and how difficult it's been for her to eat and what her mother's daily schedule is and how her mom struggles to take care of her dad and how her dad had a stroke a couple years ago and how her little dogs are distressed........and oh yeah, it's about Caylee....When they started changing their story, when they began lying to whoever was in front of them, contrary to their written statements to LE, when they started making up stuff about anyone and everyone who had been in contact with Casey, regardless and in fact most often BECAUSE of whatever damage Casey had caused that person, when they began attacking the people who were trying to help them, like TM and LP, when they were mocking people such as NG whose show has brought out more people who want to find out what happened to Caylee than her own grandparents.......
They lost my ability to put anything down to grieving grandparents and made themselves very well known as liars and people who will distort whatever they have to, pervert any law they feel they shouldn't have to agree with, and complicate matters enough for LE so that they do not have to face the fact that THEY ARE HORRIBLE PARENTS WHO RAISED A HORRIBLE DAUGHTER WHO DID A HORRIBLE THING then I am not inclined to have my compassion manipulated NOW when the evidence points to the fact that their granddaugher lay rotting in a woods 1300 feet from their own back yard.
For Caylee, my compassion says that these people have done what they have willfully done not in a denial and not in a grief. They have done it with malice in their hearts toward anyone who will bring the truth of what happened to their granddaughter to the light of day, and I am hopeful that the LE in Orlando makes the determination that the Anthony's and their attorney understand that they do not get to dictate how the law deals with their quite reprehensible behavior in the past 6 months.
If the information they have will give them immunity now, then it was obviously information LE needed quite some time ago. Shame on them for their manipulation and lies. My compassion will be focused on that they somehow find a way to live with themselves, not on hoping they get away with having lied continuously.
