Some previous statements by Lee, maybe a little paraphrasing on my part but I'll cite the circumstances so you can look for yourselves:
-Statements to KC in her first call home from jail: "You're making it real tough for anyone to want to try to (help you)...I'm not gonna put everybody else through the same thing you've been putting the police and mom through, I'm done with that....Frankly, we're gonna find out, whatever's going on is gonna be found out. .. Eveything you told them was a lie"
-'I went through a lying phase maybe in middle school....KC started lying a little later than that and her lying "phase" lasted longer....My mom has been the provider for Caylee, and KC knows this.'
-To John Morgan: I will take everything that someone tells me and until I can see it for myself...When asked, "Did KC's statements satisfy you?" There's nothing in the world that could satisfy me short of Caylee coming home..."I'm following what KC says, but it does not mean I am not following my own instincts or what other people tell me....in order to find my niece, I am willing to hear anybody's side...When someone (KC) is telling you something and you need to get something out of them, you don't comfront them and tell them they're a liar, that was not my strategy (when KC was out on bond and he was alone with her)..."
-Told Tony Lazzaro what liar KC is
-Told Baez he would lie to KC to get to Caylee
Now, as much as I wished the Anthonys, right out of the gate, would just be blunt and (rightfully) judgemental and point the fingers squarely on KC where they belong, that would not be reality in any family. Off the bat, like Lee, I would have tried to follow what my sibling was saying to figure out what if anything could be telling. I would have become frustrated if I had a million pieces of information and police never gave me a yes or no (it's easier from an objective POV to understand why police did not respond to KC's stories anymore)...I would have kept looking for Caylee until the body was found, and even many here held out hope until December 11. Over time, I would have given up any hope that my sibling was telling the truth, but still tried to piece together ANYTHING that could help me find my niece.
After Caylee was found and a great deal of evidence came out, I would have had no choice but to accept the truth-but that takes time when you are as close as Lee was, it just does.
When John Morgan asked Lee if he thought there was a possibility that KC killed Caylee, Lee's lawyer stepped in. Lee, speaking quietly amidst the back and forth of the attorneys, did not dispute that his sister murdered Caylee. He only said "I am not sure if that's relevant to this"
Yep, Lee has also done whacko things, but to leap to the assumption that Lee will support KC unequivocally, is indeed a leap, IMO.
