If Casey were my child, and it was the eve of her death penalty hearing, knowing what we (as spectators) know right now, this instance, I would visit her. It would be my last visit to her and the speech would go something like this, "You've done your fair share of talking, Casey--whether it was during our jail house visits or in your letters--and I've supported you. Now it's time for you to listen to me. This is my last visit to see you. These are the things I want you to hear before your trial: I love you. I carried you under my heart for nine months, the same way you carried Caylee. While my heart was beating for yours, I imagined the life you would create for yourself. I had hopes for you--maybe you would be a teacher, or doctor, or an artist. Maybe you'd get married. Most of all, as I watched you grow, I imagined you as a mother. In all my hopes and dreams for you, I never thought you'd be sitting in a jail, accused of murdering my grandchild. I never thought you'd accuse me, your father, or your brother of untrue and unspeakable things. So, even though I may not have raised you perfectly, and I am sure I made a lot of wrong choices along the way, I refuse to accept any more blame or responsibility for your poor choices and behavior. You will have to accept the consequences for your actions. There will be no more visits from me. Your father and I will not be putting any more money in your commissary account, and from here on out, we will be sitting on the side of the prosecution so that you, the world and, most importantly, CAYLEE, understand that we want justice for our murdered granddaughter."
I feel the exact same way!If I was one of her family members, I'm sure I would...but only once. I would want to see her face, and ask her why, and how she did this to Caylee. I would need to have answers that only could come from her. If she lied to me, and proclaimed her innocence, I would walk right out...and that would be it. IMO, either way, she is guilty as sin. I would have to disown her. Some might say that that would be easier said than done. But not for me. She would lose all love I have for her. True.
I will love my baby girl til the end!!!Yes, I would definitely go - and if she refused to see me I would just keep on trying.
I would say first thing - I don't want to discuss the case because we are being taped, but I would want to know how she was, and if she needed anything, and if she felt her lawyer was still helping her, those kinds of things without specifics. And to tell her no matter what I love her, and she is always in my heart. When my daughter was young, I used to kiss her palm and tell her to keep the kiss in her pocket so she would always have one when she needed it.
But I wouldn't lie to anyone. If the press asked me questions, I would say, please no comment. She is my daughter and I love her.
Most parents love their child unconditionally. I have tried to imagine how I would feel if my daughter (who is in her 20s) did something like this. I would try to give her support knowing in my heart that if she did kill her child she was not in her right mind and is still not in her right mind. I feel Casey does not see her parents because she knows she's guilty and she doesn't want to face them. Early on, George got her to agree to set up a meeting just him and her and when the scheduled time came George waited 1.5 hours before Casey finally said she didn't want to see him. What gives with that? Casey's guilty heart is finding it easier to not face the people she knew loved her.
