George has Casey's car destroyed

[cityslick]

so why dispose of the car?

Again, there could be a multitude of reasons why that are not tied to them believing Caylee was in there. They may not want Casey to have access to it, they may not want to be reminded of what the car represents, etc.

I'm not a mindreader, so I have no idea. It's obvious they are trying to distance themselves from the actual case. Getting rid of the car is a step in that direction.

Caylee was in that car after death. And they have always known it.

BBM - Not hardly.

They've only reverted their attentions to monetarily bleeding what they can from this case through ridiculous "foundations" that make no sense whatsoever.

If you follow that logic, one would think they'd get rid of the pool too since it was declared in open court by their daughter's lawyer that Caylee drowned in it, even if that didn't really happen.

If they really want to distance themselves from the case WHY ON EARTH would they go on Dr. Phill? or call media about car crushing... etc. :banghead:

I disagree. Caylee's death was officially declared a homicide back in December 2008 and no evidence has been presented that would require the ME to change that. There is nothing "official" about the drowning story; it is a figment of Baez's imagination--no more and no less.

Clearly, I should have articulated that differently. By 'official', I meant that the drowning story was the explanation for Caylee's death that afforded the jury the reasonable doubt that they needed to acquit, as well as the explanation that was never denied by the Anthonys. Sorry to confuse.

"Less than an hour into George Anthony's questioning, the state asked him if he sexually abused Casey Anthony. He said no. He then denied knowing that Caylee drowned in the family pool on June 16, 2008.

George Anthony testified that he would have done anything to save his granddaughter. He said he had nothing to do with the disposal of Caylee's body."

The Math is quite clear.

The Anthonys would make much more money "appearing" to do the right thing by not selling the car in order to better public opinion of them which in turn, hopefully pays a much larger monetary gain to their umpteenth "foundation".

I've never been an Anthony supporter, been quite appalled and disgusted for 3 years. But I saw GA trying to finally do right by Caylee during the trial. (as CA lied and acted her way through it). Now he crushes the car. Good. We've argued that they should do the right thing all along, I know it's now too little too late, but are we now going to argue against him doing the right thing?

George Anthony also testified that he would do anything he could to save Casey Anthony.

And he did.

 

[JBean]

so why dispose of the car?

What else could they possibly do with it? IMO, if it were sold, ,donated or otherwise left their control it would probably turn into some murder memorabilia.
I don't think anyone would buy it to drive.
They could keep it,but why would they?
Haven't read the thread, but this is one of the most reasonable things the Anthony's have ever done,imo. LOL.

not trying to deny this, simply asking when he said this? if you give me a little more detail and context i can find it myself.

The problem is, the drowning in the pool in the 'official' explanation of record, so to speak. Since Ms. Anthony was acquitted, the explanation 'of record' cannot be that Caylee died any other way. Since she died in that pool (I know, I know, and I agree with you, that it didn't happen), the seemingly logical thing to do would be to get rid of the pool, as many here have stated. Yes, I know there are varying opinions on that, but the ones stating that it should be disposed of (the pool, not the car) are just as valid as the opposing views. Further, the defense AND the Anthonys tried their d*mnedest in court to 'prove' there was no death odor in the car. If the odor was only related to the trash (or garbage!) in the trunk, they why dispose of the car at all? I'd have thought they'd have been happy to have it back if it had nothing to do at all with Caylee's death. JMO.

But it is not an official record as to cause of death. ME death certificate still stands as official record. KC never testified that this is how Caylee died and the only mention was in the opening statements which proves nothing. Even the pictures of Caylee getting into the pool proves nothing. The only person who knows the truth is KC and she will not make a statement, not that we would believe her. The state in which the remains were found would rule out a drowning because of the duct tape. GA also testified Caylee did not drown in the pool while he was home on the 16th. Some feel GA's testimony is unreliable but in the beginning GA tried to do the right thing. If he and CA had separated in the beginning we would all have a clearer picture of what actually happened. So officially cause of death is still suspected homocide and Dr. G. will not change it unless someone provides proof. jmo

BBM - Nope, we're all allowed our own opinions.

Just to clarify, it is not my position that they should have kept the car, or sold the car.

The "action" isn't the important part of any issue, it's the motive behind the action and the Anthonys have never shown themselves to be anything but self-serving.

 

[JBean]

Let's make sure we stay on the topic of the car. No need to debate the case in this thread.

Just having read the last page I had to double check the topic.

Thanks.

How does calling photographers from Fox 35 to witness the car disposal serve to distance them from the case though? Wouldn't it have been more discreet to just junk the thing quietly. I keep hearing the A's are tired of being 'stalked' as in their visit to Home Depot, but as soon as the camera is off them for a week they pull a stunt like this to get it back... wonder if Fox paid for this exclusive?

At the end of the Frye Hearings JB asked GA while he was on the stand if he received a subpoena for court and knew that if he did not show up for court that day it would save KC's life would he ignore the subpoena and stay home and GA said, yes he would. jmo

 

[Dignity4Victims]

not trying to deny this, simply asking when he said this?

Right before the trial began during one of the latter Hearings. Baez asked him if he would go to any lengths to save his daughter including committing perjury or being held in contempt, (can't remember if it was both or one or the other), and George never hesitated in answering an emphatic "yes".

The jury thought he was hiding something and was evasive. George and Cindy's "doing the right thing" on the stand is the reason she went free. ... They played 'em all.

My mistake. However, the jury members that have spoken have indicated that they didn't trust much of what Mr. Anthony said, so the net effect is the same. Regardless, it's still the explanation that produced reasonable doubt that got Ms. Anthony acquitted. Also, did Mrs. Anthony ever deny it in court (when it mattered)? I'm aware of their lawyer's statement after the acquittal that they didn't buy the defense's explanation, but in court, did she ever deny it? She's the one the jury had more confidence in, not her husband.

ML is reported as bringing it in and lately we've seen enough of ML to have seen enough of him. lol So while the A's are busy polishing up their new "image" to present to the public I'm imagining that ML gets to do the "dirty" work.

In court Dr. Huntington testified that he had inspected the car two years later and it still smelled. There was no way they could ever sell that car with the smell even with all the carpeting stripped out it still would smell. jmo
