2010.08.16 Tim Miller Interview

[Purple Iris]

Another thing that I forgot to add to the end of my post above.

Tim Miller is not only fighting for the rights and privacy of HIS volunteers, but, of EVERY organization that depends on volunteers.
The fight for those "other volunteers" are at his cost also.

 

[Mrs G Norris]

It's such a shame that Today didn't cover this as their main story on this case over the weekend considering their reach....what a shameful role some media outlets have played in this case when they have the power to do so much good.

God bless you Tim Miller, your family and TES volunteers.

 

[Leila]

Yeah maybe it was Ricardo's.

I sure would like to see the Ants now answer to some of their early statements. Did KC really even tell CA all those things about Zanny? The gifts, the travels, sleeping over - or did CA make most of it up or exaggerate from smaller story? How GA and CA can continue to stand by KC in light of all the lies I don't understand. KC's refusal to cooperate with TES, her nonsense stories about working and traveling, etc. Have GA and CA even accepted the fact that KD DID NOT HAVE A JOB? Have they accepted that she lied and lied and lied every single time she walked out the door to go to work?

Maybe someday, when the trial is over, someone will interview the Anthonys and this time play hardball, asking the questions that have arisen out of the lies upon lies they told and the lies of their daughter.

I know several reporters that would be good at interviewing the Anthonys - Kathi Belich comes to mind, but I doubt the Anthonys would answer the questions. It would quickly disintegrate into the behavior we saw at the Morgan depos.

First off, the reporter would have to be a woosie CA approved of to write fluff.

Second off, if I want to read fluff, I'll just have to walk down my hallway to the linen closet and read a package of Angel Soft.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! Wonderful post!! I received an email a short time ago from TES and they are so grateful for everyones help. PLEASE spread the word everyone so the money will be there for the next family who needs TES's help. Sad to say but it will happen again.

I am making a donation in honor of my two wonderful grandchildren and the munchkin-to-be. And while I am doing so, I will be thanking the Good Lord that I never have to worry about their parents harming a single hair on their beautiful heads.

You're probably right (sigh), but one can dream...............

my_tee_mouse,

Thank you for donating to TES. God bless you and your grandchildren!!!! Give those precious grandkids a big hug for me!

Just wanted to add that we were blessed with our first grandchild this year!!! She is such a blessing and her mother would die for that child!!! No worries here either about the child ever being harmed. The Lord is good!

 

[countzero]

You're probably right (sigh), but one can dream...............

Yep, we can. However I am a realistic and somehow I don't envision CA being one who can utter a word without bending into her controlling world.

So yes, a dream is all it will be. Sorry, didn't mean to burst a bubble here.

IMO, the biggest mistake interviewers make is not listening to the interviewee after they ask a question. If an interviewer knows the facts as well as, if not better than, the interviewee the next question they have written will probably need to wait due to questions that form naturally from the response.

If the interviewer doesn't know the facts as well as if not better than the interviewee then, IMO, they shouldn't be conducting an interview.

Excellent analogy. Both will soon be filled with crap. :thumb:

I don't think networks should interview the A's anymore unless they are charging them for advertising time. JMO :loser:

 

[RR0004]

Dear Sweet RR, I humbley beg to differ....If everyone requested the financial records of their ( the A's) 501 (c) 3, they (the A's) might just end up being too damn busy covering their own behinds instead of going out and harrassing good-hearted innocent people. JMO.

Too funny...I agree. What they're doing is not right...but suing them? Maybe I'm not a litigious kinda gal. I'd like people to put the effort elsewhere. Looking into their charitable organization would be a good place to start IMO. : ) Making sure they're silenced by their own words would be another. Oh...and holding them up to the same laws as the rest of us...another good idea.

What a great idea! But someone should be fair and balanced...why not show the TM interview?

Tim Miller has been silent ~ He did take the high road, all the while Cindy took every opportunity to slander and cut him down to the quick.
And, yet, he remained silent ~
While he was treated lower than whale on the bottom of the oceon, he still remained dignified and silent by most accounts.

I was not surprised that Tim Miller held the views he expressed in his most recent interview. He has expressed such sentiments publically before.

A person can only take so much ~
Your integrity and honesty can only withstand so much, when, your very life's path and livelihood is dependant on those very things.

Yes, he is pizzed, with every right ~
He sits at his desk, answering calls from people that are hysterical and pleading for his help, and, he has to turn them down ~
He then has the added burden of that pain, on top of the pain that he lives with on a daily basis to begin with

From my standpoint, TM has every right to feel "pizzed" with the current situation. I applaud him for fighting for the privacy rights of the volunteers.
But as this seems to be so emotionally charged for him right now, I just wonder if a spokesperson would not be a better fit until the trial is over. Selfishly, for me the state cannot dump enough documents, Court TV cannot air enough hearings and the major players cannot give enough interviews. I like hearing how Tim really feels as it fills in gaps and case history for a story I have followed with interest. I just don't know what benifit Tim or TES, a group funded partly through donations, will gain from such frankness. Try listening to this interview his with an unadulterated ear, as someone who has not followed the case. The volunteer privacy issue was certainly a worthy topic however speaking about personal feelings about the A's or attributing sentiments to their former attorney's made him come across as someone with an axe to grind. Again, I've followed the case, i understand that axe. But as the director of TES and a likely prosecutorial witness, I don't see the benefits of airing such grievances publically at this time.

You bring up some very valid points, jumpinjack. . . and it made me question the wisdom of some of Tim Miller's responses until I remembered the righteous indignation that Jesus expressed about the unethical money changers at the Temple. I'm sure there were many that disagreed with His public ax grinding at the time but it has proven to be a lesson that has lasted through many centuries. Of course this is simply moo. :blowkiss:

God bless you Tim Miller, your family and TES volunteers.

This may not be the right place to ask this. But I was wondering if anyone knew how Mrs. Tim Miller was doing? I read she was battling cancer.

Amen ..... well expressed. The only reason I was impressed with Tim was he didn't express this during the search times.

The fact that the A clan did everything they could to alter the search to other directions where Caylee was not. Then CA gave a public tirate about TES.

TES not only lost $108k but 25 or so other families also lost TES assistance all due Cynthia Anthony's controlling behavior and no one else. Not even ICA can be blamed for this one directly.

I don't question the wisdom of Tim's words. In fact, I agree with much of it. And Tim will have an opportunity to air his response as he says he will be a witness for the prosecution.

I look at it this way. If someone hearing this interview is not familiar with the Anthony case, perhaps this will incline them to become familiar with it.

I thoroughly believe in the philosophy that "all that evil needs to prevail, is for good men to do nothing." Tim Miller is a good man. He isn't venting, or grinding an axe. He is telling the awful truth about the Anthony family as he saw it first hand. The truth that many are afraid to say (see the Today Show.) I applaud it. I would have actually been disappointed if, knowing what he knows, he kept silent. I wish more people that are involved with this story would do the right thing.

 

[essies]

I just posted this video on the TES donation thread-I can only imagine the heartbreak Tim goes thru when he picks up the phone and hears the tortured pleas on the other end. God Bless Tim and keep him and his organization strong for someday it may be one of us or someone we know who needs TES!!
The Amplified Bible says in Hebrews 13:2-
"Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers (in the brotherhood), being friendly, cordial and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously- for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it."

Isn't it a little obvious that TM is not being asked to be on the Morning Shows because they know it will upset the A's. And what should that tell the A's. Probably that their friends at the networks are only interested in what the A's have to say because we all know from the doc dumps that the only person who would have killed her daughter is KC. KC's silence, even though she is entitled to be silent, says it all. The A's are the story because of their actions but not because they support their daughter as much as how many lives they have destroyed in her wake.

Once the trial is over we will see quite a different program on the A's and how they twisted the facts to favor their daughter, lied, destroyed evidence, blamed innocent people, cost people their homes, jobs, etc. This IS the story and the networks are willing to bide their time because it will be a story they will not have to pay for. The A's will feel betrayed.....but isn't that what they are doing to others now. jmo
