I just read the letters--I had a few thoughts that I thought I'd post. Apologies if this doesn't add anything to the conversation; others have already mentioned much of this...
-Did KC call George "Papa Joe?" This struck me: "Please Casey, let Papa Joe/Dad come to visit." (Pg 202) It must have burned Casey that he effectively defined himself first as Caylee's grandfather, and only second as Casey's dad.
-I get the sense that the family is turning Mallory into the new doted-upon Anthony daughter, now that KC's in the clink and Caylee is gone. They talk about how awesome Mallory is, how she works (unlike KC), goes to school (unlike KC), how she calls them and visits with them (unlike KC), how she goes to church with them (presumably unlike KC). That must infuriate KC, too--she thought she'd offed the competition.
-I'm confused about the blink on crime letter (pdf page 217) tucked in between George and Cindy's letters. The heading addresses Casey, but the envelopes before and after are from George and Cindy. Did Cindy or George print it out and send it? If so, were they trying to warn her against a legal strategy that would try to pin the blame on them??
-From Cindy to KC: "So your (sic) not sure about dad and mine (sic) newest adventure." (re: the tattoos). (pdf pg 233/doc page 15007) I suspect she got this from Jose? It must have infuriated KC that Cindy overcame the personal news blackout between KC and her parents, if only in a small way. I imagine that Cindy spends a lot of time badgering Jose about news of KC, and KC spends a lot of time telling Jose not to tell her parents anything.
-I get the impression that since KC asserted the ultimate control over Caylee's life, Cindy has now asserted the ultimate control over Caylee's memory; Cindy is Caylee's voice (hence, Cindy can "speak" for Caylee with the "I love you mommy"'s. I read a weirdly triumphant vibe in Cindy's letters in that regard (i.e., "I still have Caylee's things, her pictures, her memories. You have nothing. Was it worth it? You lose.") Maybe that's not the case--but that's the impression I get from these letters.
And now, based on multiple references to Cindy calling and texting JB, KC and Cindy are fighting over control of Jose.
-The way George speaks to KC strikes me at the very least as inappropriate. Even if there's nothing there, I read a weird, boundary-less romantic/sexual undertone there.
-I think all the discussion from Cindy about JG, Amy's sisters, NY, etc. are just another way for her to try to draw KC out and get her to respond. If KC maintains radio silence, KC wins. If Cindy or George get her to talk, Cindy wins.
-I agree with everyone who's posted about Cindy's constant passive-aggressive jabs. However, it seems to me that at this point, KC has them coming.
-I think Cindy simultaneously knows KC killed Caylee, and still wants KC out of jail. IMO Cindy can't stand the idea that anyone else is in control of KC--she wants control of her, and if anyone is going to punish her daughter, it's going to be Cindy herself. Meanwhile, as someone noted earlier in the thread, KC has finally found a way to get away from Cindy and "support herself" without Cindy's help.
All of this is MOO.

Casey I don't want to upset you but I keep getting messages from someone that is claiming Caylee is alive & in New York specifically the Bronx or Manhatten. Said Zani is there with her half brother (Hector) she supposedly was/has been in California since at least Nov 2008. Same area we got that tip that Caylee was in New Port Beach Nov 2008.
I've sent Mort the info. I hope he follows up on it. He's about the only one I trust. I still believe you are being framed and need so desperately to prove it. I pray everyday for something to come out so you can come back home.

I certainly hope not because I feel the exact same.
eta: I can't really call it 'sympathy' for myself...I just have a clearer understanding of how she became who she is. Hope that makes sense...
Why, why did GA use the word "also" in these questions? Who's left? Casey? I hate this letter because to me it is exactly what I would expect from a guilty person: "I know I hurt you, but it was because I loved you, and there's nothing we can do now about you being hurt, so why ALSO hurt everyone else by telling them?" But the As have such a strange and stilted way of using language that I can't be sure...
I can't help but wonder if CA's thoughts were really truthful in these letters, or if she was just taunting KC to jerk her chain (passive aggressive). I mean, just because she writes it to KC, doesn't necessarily mean she believes it. Could it be part of a game she's playing?
Her goal could be two-fold - knowing the letters are public info she wants to appear as never giving up hope and never giving up on KC, and at the same time, to taunt and emotionally/mentally torture KC in the process (retaliation). Sad to say, but it is a possibility - anything's possible. From everything that's been released in this case to date, it's apparent that mind games were/are a way of life in that household.
Along with the other instances that appear to be passive aggressive (many have mentioned earlier in this thread), she also makes a point to focus on KC's photos of her back that were released. Writing about how bad it looks and that she doesn't want it to turn into MRSA or staph, etc. I think she even sends KC a photo of her back. (I'll search for the page # in the PDF.)
If you hadn't seen or talked to your daughter in ages, would you use the time to write something like that that you know will make the average person (and especially a superficial person) feel badly about themselves and give them something else to worry about?
Would have been nice to see one normal instance of empathy from a mother to a daughter even under the circumstances. When compassion is shown, to me it's overshadowed by comments relating to how badly things are for CA.
Lastly, isn't it ironic that CA and GA are begging KC to write to them and let them visit, yet she is instead writing to fellow inmates? (http://www.clickorlando.com/download/2010/0406/23069328.pdf) Speaks volumes.
Perhaps it was just the "perfect storm" ... all the necessary factors came together and everyone played a part? Boggles the mind!
Sorry to ramble ... perhaps I should wake up before I post! LOL!
Disclaimer: Thouhts and opinions expressed are my own.
I think they would, if and only if KC was a man. Unfortunately I suspect that once the jury gets a good hard look at the totality of the twisted nest of vipers and evil that is the psychological dynamics of the A household, that they will feel just enouh sympathy to go for LWOP, and not the DP.
I feel very sorry for the girl who looks like Caylee that lives in Newport Beach, CA!Cindy's letters show that she is choosing to live in a state of denial. She knows the truth but it's easier to go thru her life and pretend that it is possible for a different outcome. Caylee is alive and Casey will come home. I can't help but feel extremely sorry for her. I hope that Mallory and Lee get married and have a baby fairly soon. A new grandchild is going to be the only way Cindy can heal. It won't replace Caylee but it will give her joy again.
mmhmm.. sadly, I think she's gonna walk.
I just had a convo with my hubby about this last night... Scott Peterson was convicted on circumstantial evidence... but he was a dude. I seriously don't see KC getting convicted because she's a young woman. Well, that and I think the jurors are going to be way too confused with what her counsel is trying to spin. She's already betting on a mistrial herself.
A distant cousin of mine actually got off on vehicular manslaughter because of a mistrial. She was high on cocaine and drunk when killed like 4 people in an accident when she was speeding home from a bar one night.
The part that made the jurors confused was half of them didn't want to send her to prison because she was a 35 year old female with a nurse's license and she was needed to help care for her sister's twins (she died the year before in a shady situation)
Think Susan Smith, that ought to reassure you! Casey isn't a nurse, she barely ever worked, and she has noone to take care of. Besides, there is no accident theory, nor is there a plausible SODDI, and she won't be able to meet the definition for an insanity defense, so all they are left with is attacking the evidence, which is very strong!mmhmm.. sadly, I think she's gonna walk.

yeah. I was sure that OJ Simpson was going to be found guilty (for the murder of his ex wife and the Goldman man)...but no! I honestly don't think we can "rest assured" yet. It does trouble me that we don't know how Caylee died and when she died....big issues.You can rest assured she isn't going to walk....there is so much evidence - circumstantial, and forensic that points straight to Casey that she's done. Really. The only question is whether or not she will get LWOP or the DP.
