I feel terrible for George that it came to this....if he is involved, I will eat my words, but I think he's just a painfully hurt Father and Grandfather who is at his wits end.
This quote from the Orlando Sentinel made me say WTF?
"On Wednesday Cindy had asked George to pick out jewelry for Caylee's funeral, which seemed to upset him more, reports show."

Seriously? Jewelry? It's not a freaking fashion show...this would be the least of my worries. If they were picking out jewelry for Caylee, I could see that, but I don't think that's even relevant in this case. As a mother (or grandmother) I would throw on my old standby and that would be that.
Cindy's priorities are so skewed.
As Scrutinized as this family has been I can easily believe the choice of jewelry would be a big issue. All of the judgments that will be made about her demeanor and wardrobe will be picked apart ad nauseam by NG and others who are even looking at what her daughter is eating in jail.
"Did you see that broach she was wearing! How could the grandmother of a murdered child wear that to a funeral! What do you think Janey?"
"She wasn't wearing any jewelry, did you see that!? I guess she was trying to be invisible. Don't want any bling to make her stand out."
There is no right answer for them anymore.
Asking him to help was probably the straw that broke the camels back. I think this has been so emotional for the whole family that I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. I think her asking him to help pick out jewelry just finally slapped home that they were going to bury his
granddaughter and all of the lying to himself and looking the other way to keep himself from facing the facts probably came crashing in all at once.
The things CA says on the video to the media after GA pulls out and leaves is really true. IMO. I've never understood what the protesters ever thought they'd accomplish? Does making a bad situation a lot worse do anything positive for this case?
If I was one of the neighbors I'd be that angry with them.
I agree with many of your points.
I do not condone the way the family has handled things, but only Casey took Caylee's life.
The loss of their Granddaughter and the loss of their daughter as they knew her to be must be unbearable for this family. They loved Caylee and it was probably their only real sunshine in this dysfunctional family.
They also love their daughter. Their flesh and blood daughter Casey is a sociopath. Can anyone really imagine wrapping their mind around the beautiful baby you raised taking her own child's life? I seen Casey referred to as many things, but she was once their baby.
Some of you have experienced maybe one tiny aspect of similarity to this family but NOBODY has experienced exactly what this family has gone through. It is abundantly clear that there is extreme dysfunction in the Anthony family. Many families are dysfunctional though. Casey and Casey only is the one that killed Caylee though.
Cindy did not make George attempt suicide. It is not Cindy's fault that Casey killed Caylee. I've seen suggestions here otherwise. No credible pyschological workup has been done on Cindy that I have seen here, and in no way do I believe that Cindy is a sociopath as she has been called. I see they both have psychological issues independent of each other.
Cindy & George have made a TON of mistakes, but the contempt and hatred towards them is something I am having a hard time understanding.
Nobody here knows exactly how they would have handled any of this, because nobody has lived their lives.
Their lives have been shattered forever, and poor sweet Caylee will be missed by so many including their Grandparents that loved her deeply. JMO
:clap: I've said many times here before that the bravado expressed by a lot of people who condemn the A's is misplaced. They've been condemned by many for not running to the police and telling everything they know. Even if it means their daughter gets the DP. IMO, they really have no idea about what they'd actually do.
sigh is he really still protecting Casey? bumer.
She will always be his child. IIRC, I saw a NG show where even she said she would never believe that one of her kids killed their child. It's not so easy to judge what would really happen in a lot of peoples houses if this happened to them.
I'm amazed they reported him missing. He hasn't been gone a month yet.
I'm truly ashamed that I laughed at that. :ashamed:
Since they traced George by the pings on his cell phone, would a warrant of some kind be necessary?
I don't believe so if CA gives them permission, I could be wrong though.
