I disagree. I've seen other trials where the exact same thing has happened (DT accusing another to deflect blame off of their client) and that person gets up there and then there is no doubt what he/she is telling the truth. It could be the tone of the voice, staying hard with conviction, etc. Remember, this off the wall theory the DT came up with shouldn't have been a shock to GA. JA admits in his book (from I think an interview) that the state was well aware of the OS, they just thought they would provide evidence of it.
The split opinions of GA go along with this thinking. Even though most think he was telling the truth, there are still trust questions with him for many people. Is that because he's associated with CA? Because his last name is Anthony?
I have watched and read criminal cases for the past three decades. NEVER have I seen such a sleazy OS as was in the Anthony case.
Never have I seen a grandfather accused of molesting his murder defendant daughter AND throwing away his granddaughter's body.
George was double whammied because the DT knew he was not going to lay down for the twisted defense. Baez could not let him come in there as a grieving grandfather like he really was. He had to make him 'appear' to be this vile wicked person. Far better to sacrifice George who had been a pain in the DTs side from the get go rather than the true killer of Caylee.
IMO, most people want to believe the worst in people. It is far more titillating to believe something sinister than the actual truth.
How could this not be a shock to George. Yes he was advised by Jeff Ashton that they were going to make him the fall guy but never in his wildest imagination did he think Baez would get down in the gutter to do it,imo.
IMO
