Anthony's admit to Conflicting Statements Seek Full Immunity

[Bobby62]

A six month media blitzkrieg is now cancelled by a simple request for privacy? Not in my mind. They have been beyond obnoxious. And they have changed to grieving granparents needing the worlds support overnight? Bull dookie.

Exactly what is total immunity for crimes you did not commit? I say let them be prosecuted for any and all crimes committed. Don't charge them for things they were not involved in. That is fair and just. They are fully aware of the things they did that are wrong.

On one level I feel for them for their loss. We all agree there is no book on how to act but no one would act as they have. Let the legal beatdown begin.

I reckon I may ask that new feller to get me some immunity for any speeding tickets in my future.

 

[Blackwatch]

Yes. I am with everyone on how the A's have been, but if they are now willing to tell the truth then I think that is good. I cant help but to want to show them some mercy. Their hearts are broken and they will not recover from this.

So it's all right to lie to LE while your grandaughter is rotting in a garbage bag and now claim a broken heart? I don't. If they had been truthful as grieving grandparents, who loved Caylee with all their hearts should have been, this might have been over months ago. Broken hearts indeed.

My opinion only

 

[MissJames]

Would it be considered obstruction of justice if they lied to sway a potential jury...or juror?

How can they prove that's what they were doing? Even posters on this forum were conflicted as to the motive behind their public statements.Many wanted to believe the A's were in denial and holding out hope for a "live" Caylee.I think public statements would not be considered obstruction .The A's said very different things to the police concerning who they thought Zanni really was and the smell in the car.Those were sworn statements.

 

[shoremom]

Ya think its possible they already knew where she was?

My opinion only

Can't imagine the thought of them knowing where Caylee lay. But it's hard to know what to think any more.

Dear god, I hope you're right .. :seeya:

Me too. :seeya:

 

[BeanE]

I voted No and charge them with obstruction of justice. If they get off, I'm afraid relatives or friends in other crimes in the future may see what happened here and do the same thing.

Legally, what the As have done has caused great delays, great costs to taxpayers, and holds potential for bringing the perp a lesser sentence than she deserves.

Morally, what they've done has potentially lessened trust in LE for people who in the future may need LE to help them in solving a crime, and getting justice for the victim. The worst thing to me is that what they've done has been a total rape of the respect and dignity that the defenseless victim of this horrendous crime deserves.

But put morals aside, what they're doing is against the law, and has interfered with the investigation and bringing deserved justice to Caylee. Charge them. They can always get a plea deal if they decide to cooperate with LE and tell the truth and all the truth.

ETA: Conway said 1) the As have done nothing wrong, and 2) that he's just coming up to speed on the case. I think maybe we should help him with #2 by giving him a well written, factual list of what the As have done wrong.

ETA 2: With a copy to LE/SA of course

 

[Capri]

ITA! This is the mistake they make with KC...she lied and lied...when her parents found out the truth then she would say she'd tell the truth if they wouldn't punish her so much.

I say "NO DEALS". This would also be setting up a precedent (sp?) for other future cases!

That's right on target- exactly the same way they've dealt with KC- scary!

No reason to go on perpetuating that process, look what happened.

 

[alwaysonmymind]

I have been out of the loop since Friday.

Did LE seize CA's computer in the search of the A's home?

Could there be incriminating e-mails that the A's are concerned about?

I need more information before I vote....

You're right on BeanE, they can always get a plea deal later, which would be fair, and serve justice.

This is absolutely disgusting, that this statement about immunity and just above it, in the same exact article, their atty (who wants to seek immunity for them) says "They did nothing wrong". How in the heck is that at all possible? He's basically admitted that they have made conflicting/confusing statements to law enforcement.

Looks like this new attorney is on the up and up, and I do not doubt that Mark N was also, however, I believe that CA is realizing that the sh@@ is about to hit the proverbial fan and she may be conceding (only a small amount) to GA and the new atty and their wishes to come clean with law enforcement. I don't doubt that GA has attempted to shoot straight when it comes to being under oath at the grand jury proceeding and when talking to law enforcement (most times). It's all been about CA and her need to control the situation as well as her way of dealing with what has been going on not only the past 6 months but throughout KC's entire life.

Having said all that, I don't think that the SA should even remotely consider extending any immunity for anyone remotely connected to what happened. I think it should be a pay to play situation for the As, i.e. they spill the beans and if the SA wants to, they can consider reducing possible charges against them but I don't think they should get off scot-free, especially CA. I am pretty dang sure that she has been given quite a bit of good legal advice by Nejame and her refusal to follow that will cause her to suffer the consequences of her own actions. She can't claim that she was ignorant of the law or potential results of her actions .... not gonna happen and that excuse NEVER flies in criminal cases (and not in civil cases either).

KC not requesting a visit from her parents after her baby was found in a ditch with duct tape around her mouth speaks volumes. I say no immunity LE doesn't need GA and CA's testimony. They have an overwhelming amount of evidence, testimony and forensics to convict her. They also have a witness TL that places her in the area the body was dumped. I think all along they knew Caylee was dead they did not want the body found until it was totally decomposed in hopes that cause of death could not be determined. This may have happened if she had not wrapped duct tape around her mouth. As Nancy Grace said the other night to one of her contributors why would you wrap the duct tape around after the fact, she wasn't buying it happened after death. So I say no immunity for the A's period.

I hope this is sincere for Caylee's sake. I have felt bad for these people several times. My last wolf cry was George's GJ testamony. I felt bad for him. then he started the spin. So I'm having a really hard time believing anything they say then or now.
I don't think they should be aloud immunity. LE has what they need. What the public needs is for LE to stand up to these grandparents and file charges for any wrong doing. No one is above the law. If they let them slide on obstruction and any other charges. I know we will see this type of thing from other perps families. I don't think it's right and it needs to be nipped in the bud.
Grieving or not they broke the law! A missing family member does not give any one the right to break the law. Even just a little bit.

JMO!!

I think it's likely that George has given crucial information to investigators. I don't much care if he's lied to the media and the public--so long as he's given authorities what is needed to convict his daughter.

I am not sure that Cindy is in an emotional state that promotes anything except scrabbling for comfort whereever she can get it, even in "mis-truth." I think all bets are off when it comes to predicting her behavior. At least for a while.

Her self-protective mode may slowly be turned down as she accepts the truth that is being made clearer by the day. When that occurs, I think we may be surprised to find that Cindy is not the monster she is portrayed as being. I think she's a woman who's worked hard all her life to take care of her family. I think she's done the best she knew how. Now she will learn new ways.

I'm not opposed to immunity for the Anthonys. I believe they have found themselves amid horror that no one could possibly anticipate---and as such, there are no blueprints for appropriate response.

With immunity, they can begin to make amends to the universe for the loss of their Caylee--by telling the truth. I am sure there is a good deal more they know, whether related to the crime itself, or simply useful in terms of providing insight into Casey's mind.

I think it would be a shame to squander that information. And I don't see what purpose would be served by prosecuting them. I'm not convinced they obstructed justice---after all, Cindy's the one who called 911. They have been a thorn in Leonard Padilla's and Tim Miller's sides, but they haven't thrown up any real roadblocks. They've simply run their mouths a lot.

Irking WS isn't prison-worthy, IMO.

I have to say that their new attorney is exactly who they needed. It's a shame they were not receptive to what I have to assume was similar guidance from Mark NeJame. But they were unglued at that time. I see two people pulling themselves together--and I am hopeful it's for the right reasons.

YES, they certainly DID seize Cindy's computer.

I agree. Also the poll missed any other crimes besides obstruction. Prosecute it all.

I reckon if they want sympathy, they should look in the dictionary between and syphilis.

 

[Blackwatch]

How can they prove that's what they were doing? Even posters on this forum were conflicted as to the motive behind their public statements.Many wanted to believe the A's were in denial and holding out hope for a "live" Caylee.I think public statements would not be considered obstruction .The A's said very different things to the police concerning who they thought Zanni really was and the smell in the car.Those were sworn statements.

Well, if they can't prosecute them for public statements, what does that leave? Immunity for what?

 

[s1rebecca]

Also with the vacuums all it takes is one hair with the deathband to be wrapped around or stuck up inside one of them for them to connect the dots on who cleaned out the car. They also took the steam/spot cleaner maybe they will find decomposed tissue or hair on that is well. I believe they did clean out the trunk. No immunity, GA admitted he knew that was decomp smell in the trunk so did CA "Something is wrong, it smell like theres been a dead body in the trunk of my daughters car".

 

[Elphaba]

I voted no, with obstruction charges. My view is, (based on their past actions): they can't be trusted... and wiping the slate clean is too much of a chance for them to only turn around and say: "the nanny did it, casey is innocent, and anything we said in the past that makes it look like we know differently now can't be held against us. And oh yeah, George's testimony to the grand jury that helped to get Casey charged is now null & void, so let our sweet innocent, mother of the year daughter go. Mkay? thanx!".

Bargaining for the "Anthony" truth: too much of a risk. Caylee deserves better...

 

[Spangle]

Hmm.. Way to late for such type deals.

I voted no deal and that they should be held accountable for their actions.

Sounds like there is all ready enough to convict the killer. And possible others as well. So what would the state be getting if they talked? Hmmm....
