WOW mrsj and World, hadn't thought about it that way. This could very well be why Casey hasn't seen her parents or answered their letters. There are even more reasons the defense could suggest that George should have been considered a suspect than there are reasons that Kronk should be considered. So why did they go there with Kronk, but not George? George was one of the last people to see Caylee alive, George may have molested Casey, the duct tape belonged to and was used by George, etc.
I'm going to go a little further here with something that I have said before. In her jailhouse letters, Casey not only reveals that Lee molested her and George may have, but she talks about something that only she and her attorneys know -- that she was about to secretly take Caylee and leave. IMO the defense will suggest she was leaving because of the recovered memories of what George did to her and her need to protect Caylee from him. They will present that Casey knew her mother would never believe her seeing as how she never believed her when she told her what Lee was doing. They could suggest that George found out that Casey was recovering her memories, found out she was leaving, killed Caylee and threatened to do the same to Casey.
The only problem with our ideas is that I don't think they will put Casey on the stand. Can the defense go there, by questioning Casey's jailhouse friends about what she may have revealed to them and presenting what Casey said in those letters?
Don't give 'em any ideas! About three hours after AZ lawyer posted a possible strategy recently, it wound up, miraculously in a defense motion. (Kidding.. I'm kidding)
You are brilliant..all the stuff you mention could create doubt in some jurors minds. If the defense has Mr. Anthony on the stand they can pound him with these question and let the jury infer what they will without necessarily saying pop did it. I need one of the lawyers to help us. They wont be asking about any molestation, but they may get by with asking
isnt it true the duct tape belonged to you sir and not your daughter;
isn't it true indeed it was still in your possession..if it will help your memory look at these news clips provided by local reporter, Ms. Belich, here you are sir, we see you using it hanging up posters;
isn't it true it is you who deals with the back of that trunk with your detailing of cars experience from your dad's dealership years;
isn't it true you were the last one seen with Caylee;
isn't it true that both the garbage bags and the laundry bag are the same or similar to the ones in your home;
isn't it true that it is your fingerprints on the pool ladder;
did you try to kill yourself after the incident;
isn't it true you were not at work during the time the searches for chloroform and neck breaking were done on your home computer;
in your years of police work you would have learned how to cover up a crime;
have you lied to the police or federal agents or in any depo, criminal or civil in this case,
we can show you the transcripts if not play tape of the contradictory testimony you gave, if that will refresh your memory
Sir were you lying then or are you lying now?
Isn't it true your daughter does not wish to see you ; when was the last time she took a visit with you; isn't it true that despite your begging she has not written you one letter in two years;
and they will let the jury take all that back to the jury room to consider.
I do believe George knows or should have already been counseled to expect this and worse. Casey will sit there, flat affect, preening her hair .....throughout.
Then they will do the same to Cindy and Lee too, who had access also. In closing arguments they will say there is no proof beyond a reasonable doubt that one of the other family members couldn't just have likely killed this baby, or the baby drowned/ had some accident and they panicked and tried to stage a kidnapping and his the body in the woods, not one shred of physical evidence the state has shown you points to her more than any of them. For the love of God people, the baby's body was put there after Caylee was jailed. That leaves those three. Can't you just hear that out of Jose or Cheney?
The good news is there is the other evidence that will help the prosecution, and imo she will indeed be convicted. I am only saying I would not for a second put it past the defense taking this course of action, with Casey's full and enthusiastic approval to do so.
Lee, it is inevitable, they will do it to you too.
Cindy, make that three helmets.
