Do any of the Anthonys believe Casey?

[MCDRAW]

Okay, I'm not sure where to post this, But I have been thinking about this for a few days...let me know what you think.

If all the attention the A's are receiving would all go away.......They would have no one to blame and vent there frustrations on. That's when the in-fighting will start. One member will feel alienated and will break ranks and ratt out the rest.

This happens quite alot in my own family...note: none of us have ever commited a crime. While, we aren't as messed up as the A's, This tends to happen alot in families as well as groups of friends. Nothing can stay secret forever. Truth always comes out!

I think you may be right. Right now they have closed ranks...it's them against the world. If everyone would leave them alone, they might turn on each other. But as long as they feel it's them against the world, they will stick together. JMO

Unfortunately the attention isn't going to go away for a long time.

While I would not behave the way I have seen certain protestors such as trespassing, screaming vile names at KC or screaming anything at this family, I do believe if they are within the boundries of the law when they are exercising their constitutional rights. If I felt the need to protest I think I would do it with a sign that asks a question or states a wish, like maybe our laws need to be changed so that a POI in a missing childs case should not receive bail if they refuse to take a polygraph(yes I know this cannot be used in a court of law, but it is a helpful tool to LE to help them decide if they are on the right track or not) or refuse to continue to work with police. If the A's have a HOA and this violates that then the protestors should not be allowed to do this, if only for the sake of the neighbors and the safety of the children in that neighborhood. And protestors should be over 18, at least in this case. I really don't know what these parents were thinking taking kids there. And the family banging on the door=ridiculous!!! I have been debating this issue in my mind for days and I keep going back to the fact that our society tends to just worry about ourselves, don't get involved, etc. At least these protestors are taking a stand on what they see as an injustice even if they are going about it the wrong way. Caylee has captured all our hearts and we all know when emotions get involved it is harder to remain reasonable. I think the public just doesn't want her to be forgotten as so many other missing children have. JMO

After taking the latest info into context, I've changed my opinion on the A's behavior.

I no longer believe they are in denial, and I don't think they believe Casey. I believe they are playing devil's advocate with Casey, trying to keep her confidence with a united front. Casey is the only one with the answers- their only hope of ever knowing what happened to Caylee. They know Casey is sociopathic and that it takes a game to hang on to her.

It jives with what LP has said- tension so thick in that house you can cut it with a knife. Cindy walks on egg shells with Casey, George steers clear. Lee seems to have a very specific role in that family. He avoids the media, is calm and in control of himself and many times we've seen him take control for his parents. He is definitely a calming presence and I think the glue that keeps the family together in this nightmare. Perhaps they are hoping Lee will be the one Casey will confide in when she feels safe enough in the family fold.

The time has long come for Cindy and George to decide what to do with Casey. Their instincts in mid June and before were probably right, kick Casey out, yet today with even more stacked against her than just the evidence they had of her behavior they continue to shield her from the real repercussions of her actions. At this point Casey only needs two people in the world to believe her, and that is Cindy and George. Someday either in a child neglect case or other charges she may face she will need a jury of her peers to believe her, but today, this week and for the foreseeable future, she only needs them. They can go on being the Grandparents of a missing Caylee, or they can be the Grandparents of a dead Caylee, but until they come to grips with what believing, and protecting Casey is costing them, they will never know the truth. Casey has done all this to hurt them, to spite them. Every day this carries on she is still controlling them. Caylee may be alive or dead, we really have no idea, but until they take the control they will never know. Jose Baez is doing right by his client, Casey, but he isn't doing right by the truth, or by Caylee's Grandparents. Lawyers in missing persons cases very rarely get to the truth, that is left to the familes of the missing.

If Lee is playing along, trying to get KC relaxed and talking, do you think if she did tell him something incriminating he would share that with LE? Do you think CA would prevent him from telling LE as he would definately share anything KC tells him with CA. What do you all think? Or would it be enough for them just to know for sure what happened to Caylee and they would keep it to themselves?

I also believe that her parents know she is lying. In fact, I have even thought about maybe they're working with LE behind her back.

Me too.

Great questions!


I'd like to think Lee would tell LE if Casey admitted where Caylee is.

I get the feeling the majority of dysfunction lies between Casey and her parents. I think these people have been in an emotional hostage/bargaining type situation with Casey for a very long time, for years. It's hard to predict what the mindset would be if Casey confessed to them.

 

[Jolynna]

I agree with those that think the protesters are uniting the Anthony's.


Let them feel Caylee's absence without distraction.

Then let them look at the lying *elephant* in the middle of their rooms.

IMO

I think the Anthonys DO believe her. Why? Because if they didnt believe her, they would not have bailed her out, and there are no human beings that could sleep in the same house with someone who they thought murdered their grandchild. I know if she was my kid, I would be letting her sit in jail if I believed.

I think they believed her intially hook, line and sinker.
When the police uncovered all the lies right out of the gate they accepted that the story she told was lies, but that there would be some new story that would lead them to Caylee.

I think George is quietly resigned to the fact that she is deceased, but still hangs on to a glimmer of hope. Lee I haven't seen enough to form an opinion, but based on his jailhouse call in the beginning where he tells whatever happened they are going to find out, just tell them now, I think he has known for quite awhile. Cindy won't allow herself to believe it regardless of the consequences of her behavior. I think she feels major guilt for telling Casey to leave.

This is a dysfunctional family pattern that is ingrained for decades before any of us laid eyes on them. They all know their roles. Cindy steers and sets black and white rules for can and can't be discussed, George quietly goes along and expresses himself in bursts of hostility, Lee swoops in and plays peacekeeper, and Casey does what Casey does.

As long as Casey maintains her make believe world, and Cindy stays dug in that Caylee is alive somewhere, George and Lee will not be able to accept or grieve for Caylee. That would upset the dynamic the family, which dyfuctional or not, maybe the only thing keeping them "sane".

Yep, they prolly did believe her at first. They have since lawyer'd up. That is very telling in the fact that GA and CA hired a criminal defense attorney. Now they are on defense 'mode'. So they will cover and protect her at all costs. My question is, 'does she know how many lives she is ruining'?

I don't think she's given it any thought. She is a living example of "everything is about her". Everyone and everything else is just background noise.

 

[maskedwoman]

I just can't make myself believe that, after all her lies and thefts, they can really be stupid enough to believe the ridiculous story she told. My Mother remembers vividly how her Mother acted when she was lost for only a few hours. She came home and found her Mother on her knees in the front yard, wailing and crying, while her Dad looked for her.

I too once went missing for a couple of hours and came home to find Dad out with the police looking for me. I NEVER forgot that experience and neither did she. And that was just for a few hours. If the Anthony's aren't all besides themselves, then there is something seriously wrong in that household. JMO.

I believe that ALL of the Anthony's KNOW that Caylee is dead. All of them. They are all just holding out, not working, living on donations and hoping that LE doesn't get enough evidence on murder and that this Jose can get Casey off the other charges or at least get a highly reduced sentence. After the trial is over in November, Casey will spend a year or so in jail and the Anthony's will work on their book and movie deals and get millions and none of them will work again.

That's what I think also. Casey will never REALLY work a day in her life!:furious:

The family is more worried about people being on their property, crossing their yellow tape, than they are about finding Caylee. IF they really believed she was alive they would be out searching for her. She would be more important than if someone was two inches inside their property.

It really is that simple to see. I cannot understand why they would think we, or LE would be fooled. Lee is supposedly playing video games. He and Casey are "high-fiving" it. Mom and dad are out hammering "no trespassing" signs in the yard and yelling at protesters.

I don't get it. At least ACT like you're looking people.

Good post.
It IS simple. These folks have no clue.
We don't get it(the A's behavior) because most of us have a modicum of common sense.
Believe me, LE is not fooled. We are not fooled.
How important is it to keep making sure people are staying off your property when your grandchild has been missing since June?
