After reading Val's blog it appears that our precious Caylee died because CA stopped the flow of money to ICA...so much of that money was spent on ICA's cell phone bills...ICA loved her phone more than she loved Caylee. She could live without Caylee but she sure couldn't live without that phone!:furious:
Can you imagine, in order to access all of her phone records, Lee had to pay over seven hundred dollars (American dollars) to reinstate Casey's account that was being closed by the service provider for non payment. She could rent a apartment with seven hundred dollars a month!! What a shame. Grandma said she was a very talented photographer. She could have signed over legal custody to mom, been an intern with a photographer while she studied for a year, started working out of her little apartment and by now been wholly independent and successful. One of my best friends is a wedding photographer and he lives WELL. She had a lot more going for her than most young mothers. She wouldn't have had a car payment. I am not sure but she could have tried to get some government assistance to feed, insure and house Caylee if she wanted to keep her, but live outside of mom and pop's home. They still would have loved to babysit her on the weekends. It doesn't appear she was even applying for jobs. Have we seen any information, except for the resume her folks found that listed her job experience as nanny? Young and pretty would get her an interview at many a entry level job, right? Aren't there even scholarships for single mothers to go to college?
That is the weirdest thing to me. Casey wasn't in a burkah in some third world country where these ideas would have been wild imaginings, these things she attributed to herself, good job and education, WERE right there for the taking. We cannot blame Cindy and George for all of the choices she made. Were they a bad example, yes. Could they have foreseen that financial crimes would lead to the death of their precious Caylee, no.
Reading Cindy's FBI interview again, I have come to understand the depth and breath of how , imo, troubled she was in general. She was not looking at Casey's stealing the way we do from the outside. Clearly. The fact that she was reaching out to a counselor tells me she was desperate to figure out what to do. I do think that if Cindy knew Caylee was in physical danger, she would have literally subdued Casey herself to protect Caylee. The one true thing she has said imo is that Caylee meant more to her than anyone ever had or ever would. She likely feels guilty for pushing Casey over the edge with that knock down drag out fight they had Father's day night that the neighbors overheard, and Lee detailed to Jesse as mom was straddling Casey , choking her.
She is in prison too, emotionally. Whether Casey gets out one day or not, Cindy will never be free. Watching her in the last hearing, knowing with the Judge's ruling that never again will she be able to speak to her daughter privately, she looked helpless, and hopeless. Gone was the chipper, laughing with the reporters, vying for the cameras with her overt displays of affection toward George. Whatever co dependent relationship there once was between them, seems long gone. She looked as if she aged twenty years, nearly frail, almost scared. Where will she work, where will she live, what will she do, she has lost both Caylee and Casey, and George? Lee has his own life, she may be thinking she has nothing. All that remains is confusion, misplaced anger, misguided guilt and regret.
Now she is left with the hardest two words in our language, the perpetual, agonizing, level you to the floor.....what if.
Mrs. Anthony, if you are reading here today, I have been shocked
at you trying to what appears to me to have been impeding the investigation trying to protect your daughter,
the
unforgivable way you treated Mr. Miller (whose own daughter was murdered) and how you
blame this on innocent Jesse.
Damn straight I have been shocked! In the words of Mark Nejame "I am being overly generous in my characterization".
Nevertheless, I want to tell you publicly today, you did not kill Caylee, not literally or by cause and effect. No one in your position would have been able to predict Caylee would wind up dead that night. Obviously you would have ran through a raging fire to save Caylee if you could. Please get grief counseling. It will not honor Caylee for your life to be destroyed as well. Lee would not survive it if something were to happen to you. He too is alone with his thoughts and your son needs you. He will. Forever.
