There is quite an easy answer to this: NOT NO, BUT HELL NO!!

missmybaby:::Asking C&G to participate in prosecuting their daughter for capital murder, making them have a hand in putting her away for life or even possibly a death sentence, just seems like a heavy burden. This has nothing to do with what KC deserves, KC deserves to have the full force of the law shoved down her smug little face. But asking her parents to do it seems a bit unfair.
Don't misunderstand as backing the A's, but I think I understand what they are doing at this point in time.
They are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they stick up for KC they are turning their back on Caylee. If they seek justice for Caylee they are turning their back on their daughter. Is it possible they are keeping quiet over the whole event knowing justice will be served with them or without them? As hard as it is for them I'm sure they want Caylee's murderer brought to justice. It just puts them in an impossible situation to admit KC is the person responsible.
If I were the SA I would try very hard to prosecute KC with as little input from the A's as possible. Give Lee immunity as long as he has not intentionally participated in a crime then let the state use everything he knows.
LE knows what C&G knows, I can't imagine, except to have the A's clarify who did what, when on the days in question, that the SA can't get most of the information from sworn interviews.

Yes a very heavy burden. I hope that we are better as a Society than this. xx
I wouldn't take this bet.
(remembering the protester's months ago, UGH!!)

Kimberly Guilfoyle said basically the same thing on TV a few weeks ago. She speculated that the prosecution may not even put Cindy on the stand, and will use George as little as possible. She said that their testimony was not required in order to get a conviction.
I beg to differ, I was beat with a belt on more then one occasion and I deserved everyone beating I got. That to me is what is wrong with a lot of the kids today. I do have a daughter, 23 I only had to beat her once, for spraying no more tangles on our furniture, and my father beat her once, for saying to me that she hated me. She is just fine today. And when she has children and they do wrong, Let the beatings begin.
They'd be examined just like anyone else in this case.Well if they'd been there "for Caylee", they'd just be slammed for the thoughtlessness of showing up, the need for control, fear that KC would spill the beans on them, how they suspicious they acted, what else?.....have I forgotten anything?....on and on like a broken record ... blame, blame, blame the family.
I think the Kubler-Ross stages have been fairly well evident in CA:
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
She is deep in depression at this point, and will probably require professional help to reach acceptance.
Well said, Dotseyes. Frankly, if this were happening to my family, I think I would definitely absent myself from the lesser hearings for the very reasons you've stated.

Not attacking your post at all, just using it as jumping off point <smile>... I think the belief that women are just wired to protect their child at all costs is a fallacy and one that good nurturing women have a hard time accepting (compliment to all the good moms out there). But it is more than hormones. Giving birth just indicates that your reproductive organs work.
There are way too many abused, neglected and dead children in our country to think that women are just naturally wired to protect their kids *unless* there is a major mental illness present. And it is my opinion that if we were more critically aware of that we would see much earlier indicators of problems, when it might still be early enough to teach these women what they don't know or get their children out of the situation. And more importantly make it okay for women who don't feel that motherly instinct kick in to say "hey, I think I need help here" without societies response being "being a mom is the most natural thing in the world and if you can't feel it/do it you have a mental defect". There is a lot of room in the middle for improvement. The extremes are hard to modify.
MOO- biased as an abused child and someone who has chosen not to have kids because of it.
As long as the court/justice system continues to believe mothering instincts can be taught, we will have abused, battered and dead children who have been in the system for years. Because mothering skills can be taught, bathing, feeding, child safety devices, all the things we do 24/7 that makes us appear to be mothers. But the inborn instinct to protect children from all harm. The knowledge that I could never cause intentional harm to a child, nor would I sit back and allow anyone else to harm a child. Not just my child, any child, does not come from reading a book or taking notes in a lecture.
As long as our system believes biology is more important than love, children who were battered since their first days of life, taken out of their homes, nursed, nurtured and loved back to health by people who have no biological connection to them. Are then returned to their abuser, who took a class, so they wanna try again to be a parent, to a child they didn't love enough to protect against all harm from day 1.
As long as our system believes people deserve a second chance, no matter how heinous the original crime against their own child was. We are going to have irreparably damaged children, we are going to bury babies. We are going to have to answer, for failing to protect the children.
IRH, thank you for loving all children enough that you chose not to have one rather than to risk harming one. Thank you for your honesty, I'm sorry you were hurt. :blowkiss:

But this wasn't a lesser hearing to the A's..That one motion (releasing photos of remains) was extremely important to them..They said so thru their atty..They also didn't expect KC to be there so avoiding her OR wanting to see her wasn't an issue..
As it turned out their absence created MORE of a stir then their appearance most likely would have..I doubt they (or any of the attys) expected this?
A girl in my state, Arkansas, killed her two children. I can't even remember how. She asked for, and received, the death penalty. My brain is so feeble I can't remember and it has been within the last 10 years.
The A's didn't have to show up at the court yesterday but they thought the motion (re: the crime scene photos) was important enough they sent their lawyer in their place..DC did a good job speaking for them but his words would've been more powerful if the judge saw the faces of these grieving GPs staring back at him.
More important..The A's showed up at all (?) the hearings for their daughter when many ppl were screaming "murderer" outside the court & protesting on their lawn..It didn't keep them from going to support her but they couldn't go to support Caylee?
That's the impression many got (maybe even the judge) from their absence which was noted long before they sent for KC..IOW!..It was never about HER!
