Does their RELUCTANCE to sit forthe CIVIL depositions affect your opinion of the A's?

[JBean]

You guys if this thread is going to stay open, it just can't turn into another Anthony bashing thread. Whether you want to voice your feelings or your rational reaction, either way it is totally fine, but just do it in a constructive way.
Please. Otherwise it will be 30 pages of bashing posts.

reminder.

To those of you that think that ZFG's case is frivolous and should be tossed, are you bothered by the fact that the Anthony's are putting off the depo?

Good question and one of the dozen options I considered for the poll. GMTA!

A person who has nothing to hide hides nothing, like LA's freedom to be deposed on the matter of ZFG since he was only Caylee's uncle and living on his own at the time.

By avoiding the answers to questions about the name of the woman CA & GA's daughter claims took and possibly murdered their granddaughter they do cause me to question their motive as to why?

Selfishly, I wonder if I would be granted the same consideration to pick and choose which civil depositions I'll answer to or is it merely the hype surrounding this case? But then, in this case, would ZFG be able to side-step any depo from BC?

We use the saying a lot where I work that "some people work harder at not working than just getting the job done" (p.s. nobody likes those people much either) and that is what I think of CA & GA in this case.

I am just confused as to whether those that think this case is bunk in the first place would then expext full immediate compliance by the family.
As longs as they are exercising their rights that are available to all of us, I have no problem with them postponing.

QUESTION:

are they refusing or just asking for a later date or postponing? there is a big difference and I haven't had a chance to go through the depo thread.

This came up in another thread and I'm curious as to the opinions of others here. Does the A's reluctance to sit for civil depositions as scheduled on February 26, 2008, affect your opinion of them?

It really does not affect my opinion of the A's because I truly think there is a conflict of interest between the civil trial and the criminal trial. Here again, who could have put an end to the ZFG lawsuit? JB and KC could have put an end to this lawsuit when it was first filed. Instead, they counter-file against ZFG. :::unbelievable:::

Sure, if they have to participate in the depositions, I don't see any choice other than to go and tell the truth. I'm sure their concern is whether it will affect KC's defense about the Nanny (which they now know is not true).

Even if the Anthonys know their daughter killed her child, they don't want to contribute to her conviction.

I don't know about Florida, but isn't there a way to seal a deposition until after the criminal trial? If I were the A's attorney, I would be trying to get the depos sealed.

Where's the option for "No, my opinion of them is already about as low as it can get."?

ITA! I expected as much actually but I'm also expecting that they've only managed to delay the inevitable for another 20 days.

 

[Lexington]

The A's reluctance to be deposed in the ZG civil case does not change my opinion of them; it only confirms that my low opinion was correct in the first place. They do not want to answer the tough questions. The excuse that they are emotionally fragile is pure BS. The memorial can attest to that, as can GA's appearance on GR and his interference in the Haleigh case. They need to go forward with the depositions and tell nothing but the truth (difficult for them, I know).

O/T has KC answered the written deposition - the 30 days must have surely elapsed?

 

[Everly]

Their attempts at delaying the depositions only deepen my conviction that these are not honest people. Their festering secrets ooze and they reek of lies and obfuscation. The "damn car" may be gone but a foul smell still follows the Anthonys.

They have the power to do good or the power to further enable evil.

Their choice.

 

[Dr. Pennypacker]

Their behavior only reinforces the opinion I already hold of them, and it's not good.

Yes, exactly! No matter how much you love someone, can you imagine if they're successful in their efforts, how they can live with her, see her every single day knowing what she's done?

But then again, they did it when she was out on bond. And they had to have some suspicions, at least. I just couldn't do it, myself. I'd think of it every time I looked at her. Imagine seeing her on holidays, etc.

I agree....But I do not think they are thinking that Casey will live with them, I am thinking that they know she is going away, but don't want her in the general population. Or they want her to get a lessor sentence.
I think they are helping her, but I would hope that Casey would not be coming home to stay.

 

[chefmom]

Yes, I am bothered by their reluctance/refusal to answer the civil depo questions. It seems to me that they have already spoken publicly and to the police about ZFG. They have stated in recorded testimony that they have not met her, do not know her, and CA thinks that ZFG is just a "code" for whoever was watching the baby at that time. So, what is the problem? I would think it would be better for them if they are "emotionally fragile" to just restate these things and get it over with. Why prolong the inevitable?

 

[mydailyopinions]

I voted yes, but only because of George inserting himself down in Satsuma. Had he of made a phone call, or sent someone else representing him (like BC), I would feel totally different. Although I like the idea of helping others in their time of need, you can't call the kettle black. Zenaida is in a time of need too.

I think they know that Casey will be going away :behindbar to hotel stay a while.
I think they just do not want her to get beaten daily in the general population, because she would be hated in there. IMHO they are trying to make it so that she is protected in there and or gets a lessor sentence.
THEY KNOW THEY LOST TWO.

I do believe it is a nuisance case. I think in the Anthony's position I would do the same thing.... stay clear of any unnecessary cases. I would focus on justice for my granddaughter.

I agree with what I made bold. and I agree that it is good for GA to focus on doing good because it will help him heal. But you can not have it both ways - Doing good is doing Good consistently. I think someone asked if they gave a deposition can it be sealed until the criminal case? GA is well versed in the Law, so I am not so sure what the
thinking is here. :waitasec: why not help ZG. I think all they need to say is they never saw her before, do not know her, and the truth will not harm Casey in any way.

I do not think it is a nuisance case ZG did not ask to be pulled into this and she has a right to clear her name.
I think Casey's Attorney is a big Jerk for counter suing.

I changed it to 'reluctance' in the op; maybe you could edit title, please?

And here's the part of JVM related to this topic, hat tip PattyG. At 3:17 BC says ZFG involved but not this ZFG.

 

[tiredofthis]

It doesn't really affect my opinion of them, because I already view them in a negative light.

 

[kageykaren]

I'm curious as to if Morgans team can call upon MN in the civil case using MN own words as to why he quit representing them. MN knowing they were portraying looking for an alive Caylee to divert attention away from from KC blaming ZG even as late as december. If it shows the A's are less than forthright at depos, defense wouldn't be able to use their testimony at trial? I have no legal mind so help please.

 

[Brassband]

bolded by me

This may be, but he was strong enough to go help out in Haleigh's case, but not strong enough to sit in a chair and answer a few questions about ZFG?

Exactly my thoughts as well.

 

[cajun]

My opinion of them has not changed because of this. I will withhold my opinion because JBean doesnt want this to become a bashing thread :crazy:
