So many thoughts...so little time -
I hope AZ runs across this because I think she would agree with some of Lillian Glass' assessments. I, too, agree that some are food for thought.
First, I'd like to point out that though GA did not deny the claims outright in his "Why?" letter, he AND Cindy have denied these allegations publically. George, I believe twice when asked about them. In addition BC released a statement confirming that George and Lee both said the allegations were false and had no idea why Casey would accuse them. Although, heh...all of them lie and CA lives in denial and cover-up mode, so who
really knows???
I did not interpret the adjective "heartbreaking" George used in his letter the same way Ms. Glass did. If I was wrongly accused by someone I loved dearly - not to mention my own daughter who I had stood by despite my grief and belief that she was truly guilty - it would break my heart, too. It would not have to mean that she spilled some family secret to be heartbreaking for me. She does offer some good replacement adjectives, however I suspect George just spoke from the heart w/o referencing a thesaurus.
Also, I believe the word was
num (sic), not mum. I think he just misspelled numb, leaving off the 'b'. fwiw, I, too, would be numb if I were wrongly accused by my daughter for the reasons stated above. Not only numb, but pissed off to the max. :snooty: Plus, I think I'd see this train heading toward me setting me up as a mitigating factor during the penalty phase. I'm thinking George is reassessing just how willing he is to lie down on the tracks. I mean, really. Pretty serious charges that would destroy your reputation if you were truly innocent and that would be where I'd draw the line for sure. (I would have drawn it much sooner, but then again, I have a spine.)
I think George
tried to choose his words carefully (granted he didn't do such a great job) and be brief as possible while expressing his hurt and outrage in re. Casey's allegations. I think he was conscious that this letter could be released to the public so he didn't want to be too specific as to totally destroy her defense. And the more I think about it, I
really, really believe that Cindy had no clue he sent this letter. She would have hit the roof and I think he knew that, but for George, he HAD to say something. Frankly, if he is innocent of the sexual abuse allegations, I don't blame him a bit. I would have said much worse. lol
Oh, and I don't usually ever comment on spelling/grammar, but Lillian Glass is a professional body language expert who opines on her own website - someone PLEASE link that woman to dictionary.com.
