Speaking of Mark NeJame, I received the below letter from him a while back when I wrote to complain about his 'national media blitz about the Anthony's'. I do think he is an awfully nice man and means well. Just my opinion.
--------------------------
Dear Ms. ,
Please accept my apologies for not having responded sooner. As you might
imagine, ever since I agreed to represent George and Cindy I have been
inundated. I am close to catching up on my emails.
Thank you for taking the time to write, even though we may disagree on some
things. It is apparent to me though that you obviously care and are
concerned. As such, I believe that you are entitled to the respect of a
response.
George and Cindy are in fact working tirelessly in their efforts to find
Caylee, who they desperately hope is still with us. According to the Orange
County Sheriff's Office, approximately 4,000 leads and tips have come in
regarding sightings of Caylee. This is a point that is often overlooked.
Some people, such as you, might maintain that they are in denial. That is
not mine to address. Who are we to tell another when they should abandon
hope or faith? I've learned in life that it is best not to judge another,
unless God forbid, we have walked in their shoes. George and Cindy have
heard from many that there is only a one in a hundred chance that Caylee is
still with us. However, someone has to be that one and they hold on to hope
that Caylee can still be that one. They work on passing on leads and
following up on leads. It consumes their lives. It is not within them though
to go on search teams that are looking to dig up a Caylee that is no longer
with us. For them to do this would be for them to surrender to themselves
and to the Universe that Caylee is no longer with us. Today they simply
cannot do this.
I know of few parents that within a 60 or so day period come to terms that
the child they raised would be capable of doing that which Casey is accused
of. For George and Cindy to be vilified as they have for not jumping to this
conclusion is in my estimation unfair, insensitive and wrong. Of course,
George and Cindy have made mistakes.that's what humans do. The perverse
irony to me is that one of the reasons people are so passionate about this
is because people cannot imagine someone doing this to their daughter..yet
people expect Cindy to immediately abandon hope that her daughter was not
involved in these unimaginable accusations.
I simply ask that we not judge another for who among us have not made
mistakes and who really knows how they would act or react if placed in a
similar situation.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I just thought it appropriate
for you to consider some of these other thoughts. Regardless, let's hope
that there is a positive outcome to this most sad and tragic situation and
that we all keep Caylee in our blessings.
Respectfully,
Mark NeJame
