I am not defending him or anything.... but I would get an attorney as well if I was him. As fast as LP started talking about the boyfriend, the roomate, and after Tony and friends saw how Casey could easily tell all the lies - even about her own parents - I would want to protect MYSELF PRONTO. And it would cross my mind that Casey could tell some wild story about ME hurting the child. And it would be HER word against MINE.
Getting an attorney to protect you is different from being considered a suspect in a police investigation. I think it would have been really stupid on his behalf not to get an attorney. I don't remember any information about him stop talking to the police. I think he doesn't have anything else to tell the police, they examined his house and found nothing, I am sure they examined his whereabouts and phone records, and I think he cooperated plenty with them from the beginning and he would be a material witness for the prosecution.
I do really apologise to everyone about the choice of title! I really only meant to bring up this surprsing article and why on earth LP would be saying this and I wrote it hurriedly
TL probably got the atty because his and Clint's statements show that one of them is lying. he is probably just trying to be prepared when people start asking questions about that.
No worries....I would have probably put something like this...
:shocked2::shocked2::shocked2:
I don't think I could have typed....lol
Actually a 1st generation child resulting from a brother and sister would most likely be normal.

This brings another question. If he was just using the LA-KC union as a wild example and never for a moment thought about incest in this family, what else did he mean about "The fact that the DNA is identical has something to do with who the father is", apart of course from the fact that he is clearly wrong scientifically? All of this assuming he is totally wrong, I'm just saying what is he, LP, thinking and why
what is mitochondrial dna and what's the difference with reg dna?
I totally get your point....I am not thinking clearly this morning, no lie I have been on the board since midnight reading and trying to catch up, I've had no sleep, living on coffee right now, my family thinks I'm insane, LOL....meant no disrespect with my post, just trying to figure it out....and I suppose if I were in the shoes of ANYONE that knew Casey I would probably be lawyering up too.
Because the mitochondrial result of DNA will be identical between the Mother and Daughter; it does not factor the Father, it is a DNA extraction that does not use the male comparitive. Which btw, could also mean what I have said all along, that JO is the Daddy, and Caylee is with him.

thanks, I'm a scientist, but that wasn't my question![]()
I don't think Lee is the father. Many brothers and sisters are really tight without there being any sex involved. Many children DO look like their aunts and uncles. It doesn't mean a thing.
As for the name, Caylee, perhaps Casey picked it to HONOR her brother since they were so close.
As for the father's side of the family not knowing. . . I don't think they need to know after their son has passed and they had no prior knowledge of it. Why open another can of worms?
And just a side note, I think Lee is telling the truth.
Among other things, I agree. Think of the visual when you were a kid and picked up a rock and all the bugs scattered to find a new hiding spot.

news this morning
Added by Christine, this is what he said, let's keep the facts straight.
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The Feds released information that the hair was either the mothers or the daughters; they didnt distinguish, Padilla said. Why would they not know whether it was the daughter or the mother? They didnt say it was Caylees.
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Padilla said that officials ruled it was Caylees hair just by a process of elimination because the hair had a death ring around it and they know Casey is alive. The fact that the DNA is identical has something to do with who the father is, Padilla said.

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Would the DNA from a child resulting from a union from Lee and Casey have basically the same characteristics? Making the preliminary DNA check not definitive as to who the hair samples are from, he said.
