2008.07.24 George Anthony Interview

[Meagain]

The question is - are we now seeing an act from George or has he drunk the Kool-Aid and now truely believes everything? But why the charade George? Why say he knows where she's at and she's fine AFTER (I believe) this interview?

I see no gain. I see no value in acting for Cindy's behalf. Has he done it to gain trust out of Casey so she'd talk? Merely to keep his home life pleasant? Scared of Cindy?
I no longer feel sorry. It's been FIVE MONTHS.

I don't get that part either............but think of how emotionally screwed up you be from staying in the house with Cindy for just one day...I mean think about it.

This is close to what I tried to post, but my internet went down.
I agree with you. I was in tears several times reading that interview, and my heart goes out to him AT THAT TIME. But, IMO, it was laid on the table pretty clearly what the outcome was going to be if the A behavior kept going the way it has been going, and here we are today, pretty much right where those LE predicted to GA we would be.
IMO, George came to the crossroads, had a decision to make, and took the easy way out and drank the koolaid.

I agree. He was in shock when he smelled that odor in the car, but yet, he seemed to know exactly what it meant and who was responsible for it. I feel since then, he's just complied with whatever Cindy wants in order to keep from losing everything else in his life.

I do believe that he will be or is Caylee's hero, and I hope that he will find comfort and peace in that fact. I can't even begin to imagine what his life has been like with Cindy. All the way down to the comment she made to him about leaving the ladder down, the way she speaks to him. I pray that Caylee is found and he is able to move on with his life. I still am not able to muster the same compassion for Cindy. IMO, her focus is still on saving Casey where it appears that his is on Caylee. Heartbreaking, just heartbreaking..

Yes, I can see what you are saying, but we are talking a grown man here, who, when it comes right down to it, is free to come or go as he pleases. If he is staying in that house with Cindy it is because he chose to be there.

I haven't read any replies yet, but I have to say George is breaking my heart here. I don't think there is any way this man had a hand in helping bury or dispose of Caylee. I'm sitting here in tears after reading this interview..

I think ITA. I was really beginning to think more sinister things about GA, but now.....I believe all I feel for him is overwhelming pity. I mean, I feel so bad for him. This interview broke my heart. "please don't let it be my granddaughter", God bless him. And CA, "its the pizza, it's the pizza, right George?", GA "Yeah, it's the pizza." He just really seems to want to protect his wife in this interview, like he knows she's a witch but loves her and wants to spare her as much hurt as possible.

I feel so bad for George, I always have. For me this interview was gut wrenching to read. Maybe Cindy is acting the way she is because it's easier for her to focus on KC, then to face the reality of what has happened to Caylee. If it's not about Caylee for her then there is no need to deal with the reality of it. Don't get me wrong I'm not too fond of Cindy, but it's a possibility. I thought of that reading about where George was talking about being able to tell Cindy first because it would tear her up.

Okay...Im on 1789 of his interview...how much is there left? (((have to work here))))))

Love is also a very funny thing. As much as we see that CA is very controlling of GA, I'm certain that he loves her a whole lot. I think he really is someone who doesn't like to ruffle feathers and is trying to be "every man" to every person in his life.

He wants to be Caylee's hero, but he also wants to be the husband to the woman he loves. Emotions are things that are impossible to understand, and I think GA is caught in a very tough situation because of his strong feelings.

 

[Pondering Mind]

I think perhaps he had to live a double life these last 5 months. As you said, can you imagine going against Cindy and having to live with her? At the same time talking to LE, trying to do the right thing for Caylee. He is tormented and I can see why.

The following is only my speculation:

I have always been highly suspicious of Casey's relationship to Baez--ie how he was being compensated. I can't help but wonder about the possibility that she may have known him, or been involved in some nefarious group that he was associated with, BEFORE this all went down. Maybe he "owed" her, or perhaps he's helping her out in order to keep her quiet about his own questionable activities that she was privy to.

Again--just speculation...at this point.

Another possibility is that if she WAS in the drug scene and perhaps acting as a "delivery girl" then perhaps she "delivered" to Baez sometimes? Speculating only, but there has to be some reason why he is keeping on it? Of course since THAT interview, it is highly possible that with some of the monies coming in from interviews, etc that they, the A's, have compensated him monetarily...I am learning that NOTHING is unreasonable as far as THIS case is concerned.

And he states that his and ca separation was because of issues with his daughter. I did not know this. So she was evidently giving them problems way back then.

The funny thing is that when you read Amy H's new interview she said that KC was blaming GA for all of the marital troubles. Somebody said this earlier, and I think it is 100% true, that GA had KC pegged at every corner, and KC's only response was to try and make her father out to be some terrible man. Very sad.

Yes but remember in the end it's what GA has been, and will be, willing to say under sworn oath that matters. The rest is showboating, more for CA's sake than the public. Kind of like KC, who would rather face the full force of FL than take on her mom. What kind of hold does this woman have over those around her? IMO that is fear, not love.

 

[SleuthyMama]

I'm still in the process of reading George's interview and it's breaking my heart. I hear a man who knows deep down what the deal is but is trying to balance the cop side of him with the father/grandfather/husband side of him and trying to keep the peace as much as possible in the process. What a stressful horrible position to be in.

He'd be a lot less tormented IF he stopped being part of the club who think it's somehow helpful to KEEP enabling Casey.

When it's all said & done, it will become obvious that pretending to believe Casey's & bull tales did NOTHING to help her anyway.

IMO, anyone who enables Casey is a BIG, BIG part of the problem.

Basically it was her attempt to throw the suspicion and blame off herself. How does that old saying go...something about say it about someone else before it's said about you?

He also knows right from wrong. I agree he seems to be very much in love with Cindy, and IMO were he to step up he stands a very good chance of losing her forever. These are the cards fate has dealt him, and as sorry as I might be he is in this position, he still has to make a choice, no matter how hard it is.

...just makes me sad for George .... =(

I read in one of the earlier interviews of one of Casey's friends that was the reason for the split. You know, you don't hear much about men being stuck in a mentally abusive relationship, but it happens. I imagine he is quite "stuck" at this point, but when all is said and done, I hope he runs/does not walk and finds some peace and happiness in his life.
