Does their RELUCTANCE to sit forthe CIVIL depositions affect your opinion of the A's?

[LinasK]

Their unwillingness to testify -- to continue to put it off -- hasn't so much changed my opinion of the A's, it has confirmed it and has intensified my dislike of this family. I'm really tired of it all and want this to be over. Justice in both the civil and criminal cases is not on the horizion yet. The A's have a long road ahead of them, as those of us following this case do.

Ditto for me too!

I think they know that Casey will be going away :behindbar to hotel stay a while.
I think they just do not want her to get beaten daily in the general population, because she would be hated in there. IMHO they are trying to make it so that she is protected in there and or gets a lessor sentence.
THEY KNOW THEY LOST TWO.

I am just starting to go through this thread so excuse if my question is answered further up thread. Songline, I am quoting your post just because it mentions something about the A's not wanting Casey to be in general population if she is found guilty.
What does their testimony or any of their actions have to do with that? Not being snarky, I truly don't understand. How does what they say affect how and where she will be placed in the prison population? Can anyone explain this?
Thanks songline for letting me piggyback your post!

I voted yes, but not an overall judgement. One moment I want to defend them, and then the next I want to bang their heads together and tell them to stop the crap and get with the program. This is a "bang their heads" moment. As many have pointed out: their insertion into Haleigh's case, by their on own doings, begs to question the validity of their excuse to not go ahead and give a deposition.

Excellent post. ITA:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

 

[diz39]

Guess one thing that sticks in my craw is that there is a huge impression that the A's want special treatment. I do understand that what they have been through is a nightmare, but they have injected themselves deeply in this case, told mistruths, and then when hard questions started being asked, they retreated into the "grieving grandma/fragile" mode.
While they may not like it, the laws of Florida are clear. If they don't like it, they can do like everyone else: write a letter to their Congressman.

 

[Dihan]

Their attempts at delaying the depositions only deepen my conviction that these are not honest people. Their festering secrets ooze and they reek of lies and obfuscation. The "damn car" may be gone but a foul smell still follows the Anthonys.

They have the power to do good or the power to further enable evil.

Their choice.

EXCELLENT post,very well said

I think the civil case was ZGF's only option. Her interviews with the media and her coming out telling the world she is not ZFG and is not involved and then forcing the A's to admit it, was her only option as there were many people before she came forward that were still suspecting her of wrong doing. Had ZG stayed away from the media and had she not sued - the A's would still be floating her name around as the killer.

Her revelation and the civil case has forced KC and the A's into a corner - they can't use her name and allude to her guilt now - they can only do two things - a) admit that there is no Zanny or b) say on record that this is NOT ZG.

She is smart and I am glad she is taking this kind of action. How dare they.[/QUOTE]

Exactly! How dare they!:furious:

 

[starpatch]

They need to just do it.[/QUOTE

They have defied each and every attempt to help ...not wanting to be deposed is just another ploy...I am soooooooooooo sick of this lying group.

I was going to say...scurvy knaves, but being such a delicate person I refrained.

I don't understand why they want to put this depo off. I'm not surprised but has their attorney told them that they will have to do it sooner or later? It takes a little work scheduling a depo. The attorneys have to compare schedules and see when they both have an open slot of time at the same time and they have to make sure that they can get a person in to type up the conversations because the depo is like being in court and swearing you will tell the truth. Someone has to record the whole thing. This date and time has been set aside for this depo. Why not just do it and get it over with.

All George and Cindy have to do is tell the truth. Normally that is no big deal except it seems to be a big deal with them. I wonder if Cindy remembers everything that she has said to LE and the FBI about the Nanny? I would hate being in her shoes cause I'm a really bad liar and I probably wouldn't remember what I said before.

I wonder if Cindy has a doctor who will write her a note. I doubt that George will have a problem getting his note. I do think their reasoning is just an excuse not to do the depo though.

 

[DianeB]

It doesn’t change my opinion of them. They have long done what they could to protect their daughter, at the expense of their granddaughter.

Until now. These depositions will be devastating to Casey’s ability to use a nanny defense. By giving specifics of what they know –and don’t know- about a “nanny”, George and Cindy will in essence be testifying to the fact that no nanny exists.

Justice may finally be served for Caylee because of something as simple and seemingly inconsequential as her mother's failure to use a generic name for her imaginary babysitter.

 

[butwhatif?]

They havent REFUSED to sit for it, right? Its just a delay. Couldn't the decision be overturned if after damages are awarded, if it is put forth that the A's were mentally unfit to answer those questions to the best of their ability at that time?

And seriously what can the A's say in a depo that hasnt already been said in all of their statements....which amounts to KC telling them that zanny was the name of the babysitter.
I can understand them needing KC's depo, but nobody else ever saw the imaginary nanny, heard her, knew where she lived etc.
I trust that SS knows what he is doing, and is doing what's right from a legal standpoint.
I havent seen all the docs related to this case (because i think its frivolous) but are Iassen and Amy and everyone else that heard KC use that name required to give depos also?

Think about it, go out and make a difference in someone else`s lives. Do something positive. Watch it grow into something big. Let`s stop the negativity and the speculation.

OK Cindy, why don't you start with Zenaida?

Make a difference in her life. Do something positive for the woman who has been adversely affected for NO reason by your daughter's lies. Stop the negativity and speculation about Zenaida.


Zenaida's suit is not frivolous. That idiot judge suing over his lost pants is frivolous. While at first I thought that this woman would have been smarter to have never made herself known to the media, I now believe that if she had not initiated a civil suit, the defense would have used her as a straw dog at some point in future.

frivolous? losing a job and being accused of kidnapping and subsequently murder is not frivolous. burning oneself by hot coffee is frivolous.

While it may appear that accidentally burning one's self with coffee may sound frivolous, when the ending result is hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical costs, it may not rise to the level of being truly frivolous, even it sounds as such on the surface.

Hi diz, I will hopefully explain it right.
The A's have done a lot to help Casey. From the washed pants, cleaned knife, not giving the searchers a garment of Caylees so they can have the body found sooner, and more.....WHY?
That is a family that will stick together, they see all the evidence stacking up against Casey starting with 31 days missing without a 911 call. THEY know Casey is going away, and they know they lost both of them and not just one.
They are delaying whatever they can delay from the start.....To help Casey. What is a parent to do when they pray and hope for the best, but deep inside they do know. They did lose two.

Giving testimony may get in the way of the Criminal case MAYBE....not sure.
but they have done delay as best as they can.....because....
If it takes a very long time for a case to come to a verdict, sometimes when evidence is not clear a case has been known to fall apart, and TIME is their only friend right now.
THEY HAVE ONLY ONE POSITION - help Casey, it is too late for Caylee.
What can they gain: the least - Casey will not be in general population. the most - Casey will beat this.
She is not going to beat this....but they are going to play delay to the bitter end.

bolded by me

This may be, but he was strong enough to go help out in Haleigh's case, but not strong enough to sit in a chair and answer a few questions about ZFG?

That's what changed my opinion about GA.

Cindy has always been a bit lower in my opinion.

This is what changed my view on GA's present state of mind...fragile? Absolutely not.

The A family are simply a work of art and just maybe one day, they'll look back & be able to see exactly what caused so many to regard them with so much disdain.

On second thought, :waitasec: maybe not.

And maybe next, CA could do the same for Jesse Grund...yeh, right!

 

[GoneWithTheWind]

there are so many negative posts about the a's here... I feel like a black sheep with a big red bullseye to type what i'm about to type:

The anthonys have been in living he!! For about eight months now. While i think zfg's lawsuit has merit, i understand that the anthonys are under serious emotional stress and don't want to be deposed. How could anyone think they're not under emotional stress? Zfg's suit is the last thing they need on their plates right now. We can argue that they've lied and they've obstructed justice until we're blue in the face. But i will wait until police press charges against them before i make any judgements on that. The anthonys didn't kill anyone, and they didn't catapult themselves into this horrible ordeal. Kc did, and unfortunately kc is their daughter and they still love her. In the end, it's all kc's fault.

they still have a responsibility as a law abiding citizen to tell the truth and tell it now; regardless of their feelings. Life goes on. Enough with the lies. Enough with avoidance. Stand up and answer the questions!

 

[Lynni]

Today I was really trying to imagine myself in ZFG's position. I do have to admit that at first, I thought she was just another person jumping on the "sue" bandwagon. But-if someone said I was the last person they saw with their daughter and that daughter turns up dead-I'd sue too. To me, it's not frivilous. It's her name at stake.

ZFG's life has been turned upside down. KC had NO RIGHT to drag her into this. I don't understand KC's line of thinking-that LE would just let her (KC) and her lies go and focus on ZFG??? Doing what-finding out the truth or actually putting ZFG in jail for something she didn't do? I don't understand where KC thought this would go.

Apparently no one has really ever KC out on her lying, but ZFG is and that's on of the many reasons why I think the A's are delaying. No one ever forced KC to own up to her lying and behavior. ZFG is. And she has a right to. And she's caught her cold-lying. How in the world are the A's going to sweep this lie of KC's under the rug? Well, they can't, unless they delay it, which they are. Fragile? Nope. They don't seem that fragile to me. They are grieving, but fragile is not how I would view them at this point.

 

[LolaMoon08]

Where's the option...

"I didn't think of them highly anyways, so this doesn't surprise me?"

 

[ExpectingUnicorns]

ZGF brought this case before the court because she needed to clear her name and take steps to make her reputation whole again. To me, that is a valid need. That need will remain unmet until the court makes it's decision. George and Cindy are putting their needs before ZGF's. ZGF did nothing to harm them but their daughter brought harm to her. And then their daughter counter sued ZGF . . . and that's what put them in this unenviable situation.

I have looked for every opportunity to have compassion for George and Cindy and have, on a few occasions, managed to really feel for their many losses. But not here. They want this woman to continue to carry the burden that Casey gave her until the time is better for George and Cindy to "speak." I don't expect them to heal on any specific or convenient timetable. I do, though, think their healing might come a little quicker if they started feeling some compassion for other people who are involved in this case whose last names aren't Anthony. Is ZFG's "healing" to be put on the back burner until the Anthonys are well enough? That's just plain not fair. Of course, MOO.
