I completely understand how people could believe any sordid story floated about this family; every family member is a mess in his/her own way, imo.
But, it makes no sense to me that Lee and Casey had a sexual relationship or that anyone in the family ever thought Lee to be Caylee's father. Remember, Baez said himself in opening statements that Lee never went as far as George with Casey. George went so far as to engage her in oral sex, according to Baez. Even if Baez was hinting that there was intercourse with George, Baez said outright that Lee didn't go as far as George, basically Lee didn't "go all the way" (my paraphrase). Also, TonE testified in proffer that Casey claimed Lee tried and failed to "feel her up".
The only reason, imo, Baez is now clearly trying to make people wonder if Lee was the father is because George flat out denied any abuse. Strike one for Baez. So, now he's pulling out his back-up cards from opening statement, which didn't even make sense to me. "Lee never got as far as his father", but "it got so bad that that the FBI ran a paternity test". Conflicting statements, intentionally vague. I think Baez figured George might cop to something either for Casey or to protect Lee from more detailed and worse accusations. George didn't, so Lee was put on the firing line. He also didn't cop to anything; that's why Casey was crying, imo. Daddy and bro just robbed her of her "abused victim" excuse. I hope George and Lee stay firm about not making any false abuse admissions for Casey. I also hope Cindy cares enough about George and Lee not to be pushing them to lie about something that will brand them (even more negatively) for the rest of their lives. Sadly, I think Cindy might pressure them to be vague and sketchy in a way that might create a doubt though. It's possible that Lee did just that on the stand (also possible that he's just a really weird guy honestly answering questions and having a meltdown on the stand). JMO...
