Caylee-Search Diver Resigned As Deputy After Lying To Captain

  • #41
The guy didn't lie to GET the job... he was already a trainee & he told the Capt. a b.s. story about having served in Afghanistan & Iraq.

He was NOT fired..... he "quickly resigned."

I'm sure they check the resumes BEFORE they approve people for their trainee program, anyway.

On this one, all I can say is that he was retained as a diver. He dove.
He was retained as ex LE. He was ex-LE.
He was retained to help search for Caylee. He searched.

So, the issue is...what again?

I guess if he shouldn't be criticized for being a liar, neither should CA or KC or anybody else that's been accused of lying during this case.

There is a difference between criticizing and putting the information out in the newspaper.

The man was qualified to do the dive he did. If he wasn't we would have heard that too.

IMO, THAT is the only thing relevant to the dive. Period. Anything else about this man's life was not everyone's business.

The man fudged on his resume and lost his job because of it. Kind of like people saying they went to college when they haven't.

He was fired. The lie didn't go unpunished. This man's "debt to society" was paid when he lost his job.

Should every mistake a person makes...EVER...even those that are NOT part of public record...be NEWS????

The guy volunteered his DIVING skills.

Can a person who makes a mistake EVER volunteer for a good cause????? Can only the PURE and PERFECT offer their time and abilities?

What does the unrelated incident in this diver's past take away from his heroic efforts without pay in alligator infested dirty water??????

My sentiments exactly if it is even true. Something smells here and is is not fish from that river.

A\\anyone who gets close to the truth, or finding Caylee in this case is demonized by the A's and anyone close to them...[SNIP]...:waitasec:
:mad:
The Anthony's did not make this man lie, nor did they get him fired! He was seen by his former boss on TV and it was reported to the news stations that this man was a liar!

Geeze, this is how mis-information gets spread. The next headline I expect to see is that the A's got this fine, upstanding, dedicated volunteer fired. He was fired originally for lying before there was a search for Caylee!

He could have wound up hurting the criminal case very badly if he was called to the stand and testified even if he really did find bones. His credibility would be have been ZERO when the jury found out his lying history.

His former boss had to expose him to avoid a problem if they really should find something. He lied to make himself look more "important" in the eyes of the people around him when he was hired. He is EXACTLY the type of person who might plant something to make himself look more "important".

The Anthony's did not do this!

The difference is we don't KNOW he lied. We know what has been told.

We do know the Anthonys lied because they tell a new one each day on TV.

Driving LP out of Florida.

I'm sure a 'little Team Casey Birdy' whispered this scandal into the reporter's ear.

O/T to Coley...Alpharetta. Do you come back this way much? There's a bunch of us around.

Small world! I'm Alpharetta too!!! :)

Unfortunately that is not the only thing relevant. Had he really found something that might have been important to this case and they used it in this court case, he would be discredited because of his lying. That is why he had to be exposed now.

We, the public, are in need of help to find a sweet innocent babe. Please do not volunteer in any capacity unless your past is without blemish. Virgins are preferred.

Really, really too much micro inspection going on -- Gosh, if we looked closely enough at all the judges, we probably couldn't find even one of them who is suitable enough to hear the case.

I don't think the Anthonys did anything here - this man's wounds were self-inflicted.

On the other hand, if he actually found Caylee's remains, I don't think his lying about his military service would have negated the value in finding that poor baby's body.

I think the lying about being SF is a BIG deal. My son in law was in the Army, based at Bragg. He & my daughter have many many friends ( & they have become our s as well) who are SF. We know many who have served on both fronts. For anyone to say they are SF or even to say they are ex military is a slap in the face to the real military who leave their families & do what they need to do.

With that said, the man is an excellent diver, that was the skill that was needed. He should not have his past thrown in his face in the media.
The Antohny clan certainly has no right to call anyone a liar.

My son (my youngest...my baby) is also in the army and SF. He's already been to Iraq for a year. He reupped and will be back in Iraq in January.

Yes...the diver lied...but my son would be the first to tell me to forgive any and all for the lapses of their past.

I agree that what is important about this diver are his diving skills. He was also willing to go into murky alligator water without receiving compensation.

Since he didn't murder his child, dispose of her body like trash and then lie to everyone in the world so the child's remains wouldn't be found I refuse to make any comparison between this man and the baby killer or her mother. Sorry but that's just me.

It is not like he hid a piece of acrylic fingernail evidence...ahem...(like somebody else's forensic expert)

The man lost his job. Since when are employers able to publically release details of employee indiscretions to the media? That accomplished what? NOTHING of importance was found... The diver was not diving in an OFFICIAL capacity or representing himself THEN as anything other than a trained diver...

With a livestream going on, over 1000 viewers and all of the people on the park benches I don't think the diver had the opportunity to do anything hinky.The diver's actions were videoed and documented. There were witnesses.The chain of custody could be verified and established SHOULD Caylee's bones have been found.

What is the point of publically humiliating a diver that was diving where nobody else was ever going to go...after NOTHING was found?

Let's try this:

Everyone attached to the case, LE, divers, LP, TM, *and* the whole lot of Anthony's take a lie detector test. Oh, wait. The Anthony's won't because THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

Whatever.

:clap: That is an excellent point.

May God Bless & keep your son & his unit safe. I think those in the military have one of the most important jobs in the United States. Please let your son know he & his buds are all very much appreciated.

But the fact is that he didn't find anything. So why be exposed and discredited now? It serves no purpose that I can understand.

We should all, me included, go back and read Tricia's first sticky about "Negative Posting."

Thank you. I will. I was hoping he'd make it home for Thanksgiving. :(

Sorry to all for OT.

"Blackwater Divers led the search last week in the Little Econ River. Bosinski gave Eyewitness News a hard time when we asked to see the bag of what he said were bones that he had pulled from the river that he said could be Caylee Anthony's bones. Sheriff's and FBI investigators had already dismissed them as nothing more than rocks from the river bed."

Snipped from http://www.wftv.com/news/18009642/detail.html. Bolding's mine.

I think the bolding has more to do with this particular character assassination than anything. Sounds a little like revenge to me.
