I really think this shows what a sociopath Casey is. She doesn't understand that there is a line that normal people won't cross, or at least a line that her own mother won't cross. Cindy is supposed to be so loyal to Casey that no matter what Casey does, Casey expects Cindy to totally destroy her life rather than Cindy destroy her loyalty to Casey. Casey expected Cindy to always choose her over George and even Lee, I suspect. That is sociopathic thinking. It's always about me, they owe their lives to me, how dare they not support me. And that's with ANYTHING. There is no line that anyone should have in the mind of the sociopathic person. Or in Casey's case, her mother shouldn't have had any limit to her love and support of her. She was depending on her mother getting up on that stand and defending Casey no matter what. She couldn't understand that her mother is a narcisstic person who has a limit that Casey forced out of her. Casey expected her mother to love her more than Cindy loves family appearances.
Now, I have to admit that Cindy enabled Casey to think this way. She supported Casey over Caylee for three years. Casey had to think that mom would go down to save her. After all, she kills Caylee and what does mom do but support Casey over Caylee. Casey really believed that she had won, that her competition was gone and that GA and especially CA really did love her more than they loved Caylee. I can see this leading Casey to think she could do or say what she wanted and CA would still love and support her no matter what. After all, killing is worse than molestation - killers get longer sentences, sometimes even the death penalty while child molesters serve shorter sentences and are able to have lives outside of prison to the point that they usually offend again. Society as whole deems killers to more worth prison time and death than child molestors, and Cindy supported Casey in Caylee's death, so Casey would think that her mother would support her calling dad and brother child molestors. I mean, in Casey saying to Cindy, "You don't know what my role was?" was Casey essentially saying, "Come on mom, you know I killed Caylee." In her sociopathic mind, if she could get away with murder with her mom, she could get away with anything with her mom.
But Cindy does not love Casey more than she loves herself and family appearances. Casey forgot that her mother is narcisstic in nature, and for Casey to ask her to have everyone believe that she was married to a child molester and gave birth to a child molester was too much for Cindy. Casey was asking Cindy to go beyond her own line and still love and support Casey. Judging by Cindy in court on Saturday, Cindy is not willing, was never willing, to do that. I think Cindy not looking at Casey was a sign that Casey had finally gone too far. And what does Casey do, not get sad and truthfully teary eyed that mom doesn't love her anymore (depression, not anger), she throws a fit like a five year old like how DARE mom doesn't support me and love me over dad! How DARE she not look at me! How DARE mom not be loyal to ME!
It makes me wonder how much Casey assured her attorneys that Cindy would go along with what they were doing no matter what, and her attorneys, Baez in particular, agreed with her. He didn't make that opening statement on the hope for Cindy and maybe even George would go along with it. He made that opening statement believing that Cindy, and maybe even George (because of that statement on record that he would do anything to help Casey) would help to support it no matter how crazy it was. He had to because with even with George not supporting that OS, Cindy at least had to because it COMPLETELY falls apart without at least Cindy's support.
Wow, it's truly a dysfunctional situation - the sociopath expects the narcissist to not be narcissist and support the sociopath over the rest of the dysfunctional family. You just can't make this stuff up!!!!
