Casey's Parents May Eventually Face Charges

[Valrico Analyzer]

So what is your source for that information?

Never quoted a source. Stated my opinion JUST LIKE YOU DO.

Hi Guys,

I am no friend of the Anthony family but I would bet anything that CNN/Larry King set them up in the hotel and the dinner. They are not paying for anything from their own pockets.

This is customary to do so when they book guests. Not all guests get this type of treatment believe me but high priority guests, guests that everyone else wants. This is part of the negotiations. You can bet Greta, Geraldo, and others tried to get them on their shows but LKL won out.

It's likely LKL won out not because of the benefits offered, like the hotel and dinner, but because of how much time they were promised and how the host would treat them.

Tricia, that is the likely scenario. Unfortunately, given the already negative public perception of this family, it just adds fuel to the fire.

I have to say I could care less that this couple stayed at the Ritz or "whatever" hotel. Could have been a Super 8 with free water for all I care. It matters not. What does matter is if this couple did in fact hide anything or tried to obstruct justice concerning this case. Maybe they did. Maybe they thought, in their "protective" or denial minds do that. Or, perhaps they are a couple who have simply handled this totally wrong. Big time.

The hotel thing is nothing, but fodder to chew and spit about. It's irrevelent to this case. Actions, lack thereof, and what shall be discovered "if" they were involved in obstruction, that's worth a discussion. I do not believe they were involved with this child's murder. However, you never know what they may have done to protect...

IMHO

OMG... the SKELETAL remains of their granddaughter are found and they go out to dinner? :sick: :sick:

 

[sweetwater]

I have seen a few displays of non- contrived emotions from Cindy and George, but grief has never been one of them. Frustration, rage, contempt, disdain, and cunning, but never grief.

Where was the outrage, the concern, the picking up the phone for child protective services or LE to track down flaky, crazy Casey, whose exploits were broadcast all over Facebook, etc., for months, and then in the month that she was supposedly MIA with Caylee. :behindbar
Cindy and George the syncophant, who does an atrocious and nauseating charade of a victim, have only displayed loathsome characteristics, in my firm opinion. :furious:

Wow, I guess they don't need to work now.
Motel 6 must have been overbooked!

New law (The Anthony Code) dictates if you are grieving you can tamper and withhold all of the evidence you want .... with NO charges. This whole family feels above the law.

A little more:

Friday Dec. 12, 2008
5:56 PM ET - The first sighting of George and Cindy Anthony since CSI removes multiple bags and boxes of evidence from their home. The Anthonys have just left their house with a suitcase and their 2 dogs. And as to be expected, they had nothing to say to media and curious onlookers. (From Stacey Newman, Nancy Grace Producer)

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/09/08/NGfindcayleeblog/index.html

My thinking is they may never return. Considering the vitriol I'm seeing here, I'm thinking the protesters may come back, and stay there until one or both of them is charged with obstruction or worse. LA seems to be the only one with any sense, by lying low (odd how his GF was there, tho)

If I were in the prosecutor's office, I'd put the death penalty back on the table and indict the whole family with anything I could, along with any ham sandwiches in their fridges. Then I'd not drop any charges on a single one of them unless Casey confesses in exchange for LWOP and save Orange County taxpayers a boatload of money for a trial and change on venue etc.

Beyond that, I'd try to enjoin any of the Anthony's from profitting from this tragedy in any form, and have any proceeds from any movie or book deals go to the Orange County taxpayers and all other organisations that wasted time in the searches and investigations.

I have no idea. Maybe. I pray not.

But LP bailed her out months ago. We were appalled. Correct?

And now he's on NG as a hero? I'm confused......

Did he have negative or positive cash flow from his efforts?

IMO I sit here and think about things...CA hasn't worked in how long? GA has worked off and on. GA has admitted their financial standing isn't stellar. IMO anyone in a not so stable financial situation would be staying in a MOTEL 6 not the Ritz. It is obvious to me somewhere along the way money is flowing from somewhere...

I for one wasn't appalled when LP bailed her out, when I heard the reasoning behind it. She wasn't talking in jail and there was a possibility that she would if she was out. Of course it didn't work out like that at all but it was worth a shot. She ultimately IMO ended up where she belonged all by her little self. JMO

ETA even if LKL put them up in the Ritz, they were having a tough way to go previously per GA with money. This was all when CA WAS working, she isn't now and they are staying afloat apparently.

 

[bailee]

Weel the FBI did take all CA's cleaning tools, so knowing that she couldn't possibly stay there.

When you stay at a hotel to grieve silently, you try not to draw attention to yourself. Ordering fancy food at a fancy restaurant is one way to draw attention, especially when they know their every move is being scrutinized. I will not give them a pass on this. It was and is a very wrong move. As time goes by, their atty. will make sure everyone knows that they were just victims of their daughter. And we should feel very, very bad for them. However this is just over the top, do they not have any sense of what is and isn't appropriate?
I know that people grieve differently and if I hear it one more time I'll scream. But the way they go about their lives in this madness is a new one for the record books. I have never seen nor met anyone like them before and I hope I never do again. This is a tragedy for them and it's awful, but know it's time to act like adults and do the right for a change.
Enough is enough.

The only thing I can think is that upscale establishments can offer privacy and some media protection.

The Days Inn or Holiday Inn, Applebees and Chili's - they're all just very public places.

True... let's not rush to judgement. I have been nauseated by some of the A's behavior thus far, I'll be the first to admit.

However, when I left my abusive marriage I was terrified. I was married to this person. He knew how to find every single safe house I could possibly have (aunts/uncles, friends, grandparents, etc.). I had called a local domestic violence shelter, but they did not provide child care, and unfortunately, his mother had been our child care provider, so again, he would know exactly where to find us if I left my son there while I went to work.

Long story short, until we could sort it all out, my mom and I ended up checking into the most expensive hotel in downtown Cleveland. (It also just happened to be the night before opening day for the Indians so rooms were a little hard to find anyways). My mom barely makes ends meet - we are not what anyone would consider well off. We just figured it was the last place he would think to look for us. Who knows if the Anthony's felt the same re: the media? This is clearly a time of shock and loss for them and I'm willing to give them some slack in regards to what hotel they chose to stay at on the night they found out their only grandchild's decomposed body was found carelessly discarded like last week's leftovers.

I do also believe that Casey acted alone in this. Whether they obstructed justice at some later point, I'm less clear, but I do think this is a very big shock to them as I do truly believe that in their denial-ridden hearts and minds they really felt Caylee could still be alive.

 

[butwhatif?]

From my orig post:This is the first time I've heard that its come from LE that the A's may be charged with obstruction, and that would certainly change my mind about alot of things

Uhhhh, it's the title and topic of this thread.

No it's not!!!!
Where is the link where we hear it out of the mouths of LE-not sources. BIG difference.

From the same article linked on pg1 of the thread......

Conway said he's talked to the State Attorney's Office and is not aware of any pending charges and maintains the Anthonys have done nothing wrong.

"Anytime the sheriff's office cordons your house and serves a search warrant, there are a potential for charges. I don't know what the sheriff's office has in mind, but the Anthonys have cooperated fully and will continue to cooperate," Conway said.

I'm not saying its NOT going to happen either. But we have not heard it directly from LE, and unless and until we do , I'm not going to speculate.
Way too much speculation is posted as fact here.

 

[amysmom]

I can't imagine that LE would have taken them to the top hotel for a meal fit for royalty, when they are determining how to recoup all the funds the city has lost in this case.

One word..BINGO!

 

[tiredofthis]

Sounds more like a special celebratory night out, doesn't it? What other grandparents do you know that would be together enough to go out and enjoy a $100 dinner (per person) within hours of being told their little granddaughter's body was just discovered?

These people are DEPRAVED.

They have known for a long time that Caylee was deceased. Normal people wouldn't feel like eating after finding out their granddaughter's remains had possibly been found.:furious:

 

[WholeLottaRosie]

I don't care who paid for the room or the dinner - I can't wrap my mind around any reasonable explanation for even wanting to go out when they could have stayed in and had room service. Unless they were trying to show by going out that they are carrying on with business as usual, believing Caylee is alive even when evidence points otherwise.

My hubby hasn't followed this case anywhere as closely as I have, but when I asked him what he thought of their night last night, he said:

"Maybe it's the actions of two people who are living it up while they still can because they already know they're ultimately headed to jail."

Hmmmm.

Exactly what my hubby said!!!

Thank you.

Since it would appear that at least part of this crime they have defended and denied ad nauseum did occur in their home, Cindy's delicate sensibilities are now offended, I'm sure. So, we get to watch them play-out their feelings of betrayal, while basking in the corresponding cash-flow and luxury life-style Cindy feels she is entitled to. Watch as this new act kicks into high gear.

I don't care if they're in the Ritz. In fact, that's a good place for them; there's more security cameras and cell phones in there than any other place around. Nothing like a few more doses of their pathetic, low-life psychodrama and idiotic ramblings, ya know, ya know, ya know, "lying is not a crime."
Anybody got a screen-shot of Cindy giggling as she daintily jaunts alongside reporters right after her first "cameo?" Classic.

I hope they will be charged, soon.

 

[KDB]

I consider myself to be critical of the Anthony's most of the time, however, the hotel and restaurant are not at the top of my list to condemn them. I imagine it went something like the producers of LKL put them up, hoping for the interview. GA & CA were reeling from the info, knew they couldn't go home and this room was offered. And until I hear that they were in the restaurant having a jolly time, I will reserve judgement. It may have been a meeting with their attorney, they may have gotten room service, they may have just needed a break from being alone with their thoughts. I cannot and will not give them a hard time for that.

I'm sure there is something they will do tomorrow for me to criticize but not tonight.

Hi Guys,

I am no friend of the Anthony family but I would bet anything that CNN/Larry King set them up in the hotel and the dinner. They are not paying for anything from their own pockets.

This is customary to do so when they book guests. Not all guests get this type of treatment believe me but high priority guests, guests that everyone else wants. This is part of the negotiations. You can bet Greta, Geraldo, and others tried to get them on their shows but LKL won out.

It's likely LKL won out not because of the benefits offered, like the hotel and dinner, but because of how much time they were promised and how the host would treat them.

Well like I said the PI, Dominic Casey(have his name right now) was on Fox yesterday way before they landed talking to a reporter and he said he had arranged for a place for them to stay at an undisclosed location and he also mentioned their new atty. I posted yesterday on one of the 'remains found' thread right after I saw him say it. So take it for what it's worth, LOL

tap, tap, tap impatiently as I try to post this..

 

[Valrico Analyzer]

MY TAKE ON THE ANTHONY'S:

Honestly. I have my prayers for ALL of the Anthonys like I have said before.

Do I feel they are devestated and greiving? Without a doubt.

I can care less if they stay with George & Laura Bush or the Ritz or wherever. And what they eat and where, and with whom.

My issue with the "A" family is somewhere, somehow, after July 15 they went from the "typical" family with deep secrets to a lifestyle of priviledge and notoriety. (notice: not "fame").

They didn't ask for this, nor did they seek it out.

They began to use this horrible event to create in their mind their OWN self importance (remember way back in July when they advertised for a non-paying assistant?)

They believed and probably still do that any media coverage for their Caylee was good.

Somehow, they crossed the ine of reality. They began to feed off the media THE SAME WAY the media fed off them.

Then the "big" media came to town and offered them more money than they have ever seen or had in their entire lives to go national with their statements. Somewhere, at that point, they lost their focus on trying to find Caylee and gave themselves the self imposed roles of "advocate".

They began (check the records folks, at first they both were convinced as their statements show that their daughter had a hand in this) to change their beliefs on who did what to caylee based on the premise that the media was egging them on to go against the grain and to speak out and become even more outlandish. And the $$ being thrown at them didn't help matters.

This fed the public's hatred of them, which fed the media, which encouraged the larger media (LKL, GVS, etc) to want them on their shows. Not because they wanted to help CA & GA. Because they have sponsors to answer to and they knew the "A"'s help sell their shows.

So the "A"'s have become used to this lifestyle, believe they are helping, and become more convinced they are doing the "right" thing.

This has now become full circle with the discovery of the body, the "A"'s IMO really want to just be left alone to grieve. But, they made commitments. And recieved advances based on those appearances.

IMO now they know in their hearts that Caylee is gone and who probably did it. What they thought and were sucked into they probably know isn't so. In fact, they realize they have done a disservice to caylee's legacy by allowing this to become the circus it has.


Thats why they deserve our prayers.

While G and CA as well as all of the family in this awful situation I am just sickened by their behavior through out this entire investigation! I am wondering where oh where all the dough for all of these high priced attorney's and experts will be coming from?!

Shame, shame on C and GA!
