I've tried and tried again to write a coherent post, covering all bases. I can't, because I'm of two minds, although BOTH lead to the same conclusion - CA and Caysee are BOTH sociopathic and have been involved in a "dance" of one-upmanship from day 1.
Let me explain, if I can. I have a sociopathic son. He does bad stuff. I know he does bad stuff. If it doesn't affect me, I ignore it. When it affects me, we play a game. I ask for truth - he lies. I make a veiled threat - he reacts and tells me half of the truth. Now, there is NO way for me to prove the full extent of his involvement. However, I can call the police (like when he stole my jewely). He knows this and makes a million excuses. I know my stuff is gone. He knows I can have him arrested. We compromised. He DID get my "stuff" and sell it. I do KNOW he did and he KNOWS I KNOW. I don't want my son arrested and being put in jail - that in itself is a dangerous, let alone expensive, situation. He knows I can have him arrested at any time. We both walk the razor's edge. He relies on my motherlove and good will. I rely on his fear. With my socio daughter, it works differently - she will admit NOTHING, and like Caysee will clam up - PROVE I'm wrong type of thing.
There is a lot more to this but somehow, today, I can't articulate it. I believe the crux is that I'm not out to teach him right from wrong, and he isn't there to learn it. It's a game, a nasty, hurtful game. Unfortunately, in the Anthony case, a precious life was lost.
Although, and I hate to say this, this may go further, much deeper. A part of me believes Cindy was right, Caysee did NOT act alone, she did have help - just not saying whose help she had.
The 911 call was an absolute necessity, at that point. Someone, Cindy's mother, brother, Rick, someone, would have wondered where Caylee was. There had to be an alibi and Zany (however you pronounce it) was elected.
Sorry I wasn't as coherent as I wanted to be, because there is MUCH more that goes into this, just wasn't eloquent enough at the moment.
My opinion only
