IMO, he's only in it for himself. He loves the media attention and since the fiasco with Caylee, he hasn't really had much. And that's all I'm gonna say too.
I think he really wants to help locate Haleigh, he has a heart of gold from what I have read about him in the past. He is not perfect, as none of us are. He doesn't need any money, he has plenty. As for publicity, he loves it and will admit it. LE has not been able to locate Haleigh, so I say go for it. Just as I did of TM. He tried, got DB in the mix with good intentions, provided Misty with the LVA/Poly she asked for and searched the best he could. Some were upset at Tim for inserting himself in the case in that manner. I was all for it. Anyone that has with good intentions that is trying to help should be allowed. Again, LE has not been able to find Haleigh, they to have made mistakes and sometimes what LE can't do, others can. Roy K. found Caylee's remains remember.
When Caylee went missing and LP inserted himself in that case at first I was upset that he bailed Casey out. I started reading up on him and found that he is a very giving person. He has provided shelter for many in the past, it's something he does and most of it is not shared with the public or else most would see him in a different light. I also think he feels bad for the family in a way and could be why he provided them with a car and may even provide them shelter.
Just what these people need, another handout...I am surprised they duidn't get a car with the Haleigh donation fund. Oh sorry, that would have went to the law abiding Cummings clan. Thay all have such class!!
I totally agree,,,if he has so much money ,,,why doesnt he give to people deserving with children instead of these lowlifes,,,who rob blind people,,,,,he is despicable in my book,,,,,,IMO He doesnt give a hoot about people in real need ,,if he did he would be helping them...and not buying his way on the ng show...going thru the backdoor to get inside
Lenny has said that he won't bail Misty out until she tells him where Haleigh is. He learned from Casey Anthony that you don't bail them out first and then expect them to tell you anything. So we will see what happens and how bad Misty wants out of jail. She may not know where Haleigh is but she might tell whatever she does know.
What I don't understand is: if Misty admits she knows what happened to Haleigh or/and where she is, and even that she had something to do with it, shouldn't she be in jail? And won't LE immediately charge her with more things and put her back in anyway?
I bet one reason the deal fell through was if the Croslins really did insist that LP could not involve the media. No way he would agree to that. IMO
Well, by law Misty was given a bond. She has the right to bond out. So does Lisa Croslin & just about everybody who's thrown in jail. Leonard Padilla IS a bail bondsman, so , I can understand his interest. When I listened to him on the Levi Page show, he seemed a little behind, so hopefully, this is just business as usual. But I do know from experience, that it's hard to turn your back on needy people. I don't have Padilla's kind of money, so I can't buy cars, but I have been sucked in.
just wondering...why aren't bounty hounters legal in Florida?lenny is a Bounty Hunter which is not legal in Florida, his nephew is a bail bondsman in Cafifornia.
They have to be certified in each state. There are Florida bounty hunters.

Well if MC tells LP ~ or anybody ~ where Haleigh is then she was, at least, part of a criminal act, imo, and she would be charged accordingly and I'd assume no bail. So all I'm seeing with his offer is "words". :waitasec: MOOLenny has said that he won't bail Misty out until she tells him where Haleigh is.

I would agree if there was not a missing child involved. I say do whatever it takes to get someone to talk, and IMO its working at least with Hank, he has really been drilling Misty to find out what happened to HAliegh.From your second link ~
"Padilla, who has not received the letter yet, confirmed that he had spent about $3,000 on a car for Hank Croslin Sr. and at least $200 on food and phone time for Misty or her family.
Padilla also said his office bailed Misty's mother, Lisa Croslin, out of jail Thursday for the grand theft charge."
Personally I think his generousity could be better placed to donate to a worthy charity or families (i.e. unemployed due to the economy, with small children) who are really in need. MOO
I guess I'm just not that optimistic that MC will actually admit to where Haleigh is, no matter what gifts LP gives her parents or how much money he puts in her commissary account. Talking, imo, would only ensure she'd never leave jail/prison. MOOI would agree if there was not a missing child involved.
