JB reading a statement from KC - maybe she wrote it maybe they wrote it together maybe LKB wrote it - I don't know but IMO it was public relations event. KC via JB got to make a statement about how much she misses Caylee. KC via JB got to appear motherly and family-like with the private service comment. As horrible as it sounds, with Caylee's Memorial tomorrow, it's still all about the upcoming trial and reasonable doubt IMO
Unfortunately, I agree with you. Several thoughts crossed my mind after hearing Casey's statement. Her protests about the cremation and the public ceremony were unnecessary. This leads me to believe there was a purpose in complaining about those two things.
(1) Cremation. I wonder whether the state didn't detect something she knew should be there and she and Jose decided cremation would preclude them from further testing for it. If the state later puts two and two together, they can't exhume...and it won't be Casey's fault since her parents supposedly went against her wishes and had Caylee cremated.
(2) She complains that she wanted a private ceremony so that when loving, smiling pics of Casey and Caylee are shown tomorrow, it appears as if she wanted no part of it, that it was all her mom's idea. It's a good way to testify without testifying -- get someone else to display positive, endearing photos to a church of 5,000 and thousands more nationwide during the service. Great PR for the defense, as you said.
Cindy and George have said they support Casey
no matter what. So I don't believe they are in any way trying to stick it to Casey with the cremation or service. In fact, I think just the opposite. I believe they likely are in agreement to appear to "disagree" publicly. Everything Cindy does (with the exception of the initial 911 call) seems to be for the benefit of Casey's defense.
I hate to be so cynical, but Cindy's previous actions have led me to believe she would do such a thing. I hope I'm wrong. I hope there is not even the first mention or a single photo of Casey displayed tomorrow.
