Bold mine

Songline,
I get that the Anthony's want to delay, in any way possible, having to testify in any proceeding that involves KC. My question was how does their testimony have any bearing on whether KC goes in a protective custody versus general population? What impact does anything they have to say have on her cell assignment in prison? That is what I am questioning. :waitasec:
They are not going to help the case. They have a strategy that is designated for Casey only.
I read Early on that LE Dad (don't have the link) would know that general population could be a dangerous place for her, and he would do whatever it takes for her not to get there.
I personally do not know who and how the designation of a cell would work.

What is the big deal about answering questions in front of cameras? Media is in the courtroom as well. Give your testimony and get over it.

You are thinking like a person that has nothing to hide so the answer to you question what is the big deal???
NOTHING if you did not have more hearings coming up and you do not want anything you say at this hearing to come and bit you in the butt later.
They have said so many things they are almost best off keeping it zipped or they can get in some deep dodo themselves for lies.

Due to the sunshine law the depos will be all over the media, I would think to do this before the criminal trial will cause serious issues of KC getting a fair trial. Maybe that is why the delay, If they realize that she is guilty they may still want her to have a fair trial. What I do not understand is why this case has not been thrown out .When KC was shown ZG picture she said it was not the right one so how is there still a lawsuit?Documents that have already been released to the public have shown the family never met or spoke to the nanny.As far as Cindy and George saying ZG took Caylee that was what KC told them so they were not out to slander her. I do not understand how they can be sued, KC told the police the same thing they investigated ZG can they be sued too?:waitasec:


GOOD POINT.
However - perhapes ZG name may not have been cleared. And may need this case to clear herself.
 
  • #144
It sure does affect my opinion of the A's... I would think this family wants and needs closure or at least to get the ball rolling in that direction. If the A's have no idea WHO this Nanny really is AND they have never met her.. why not come forward and do the depo, clear this woman's name, UNLESS....

the real ZG will be used to throw under the bus later. I just think this is all a ploy to save Casey's life when the time comes. It's the only straw they have left.

What are they getting out of delaying the depo? What's in it for them? What are they afraid of?? Are they afraid of saying something that might compromise Casey's case? They need to all come clean and stop getting preferential treatment!

Casey gave her name, an accurate description of her car, New York connection, (Plates on car were from NY), the apt. number ZFG looked at, and the names of her two kids that were on the apartment application. Frivolous? She has some splainin' to do. CA said her name many times to the media. she was following her daughters lead and trying to gain her daughter's freedom at the expense of her granddaughter. She needs to splain as well. Collaborating to bring in ZFG's name, then perpetuate her involvement caused financial hardship and dents in her soul and psyche. Maybe it was some other ZFG with the same car, children, and NY plates that looked at apt. 210 not long before Casey killed an innocent child. The burden of proof will be on her in Civil court.

My opinion of the A's is that neither has been too frail to be involved in any act, whether held in ring one, two, or three. They have known what happened since 7-15 when they smelled that smell that cannot be mistaken.

Hammer time!...Break it down!!! Can't touch dis cause it is my opinion. :blowkiss: :crazy:

I reckon I'm glad George and Cindy's hose and hammer show is over.

I SALUTE you. Best post I've read in a long time.

There it is... I owe an apology. I was trying to play Devil's Advocate, and I don't do it very well. I need to get my wife to join up here.. She's a better debater than I am.

Hello, newbie here :) and attempting to catch up on this thread! I voted No on this thread's poll because my understanding is that criminal cases go before civil. I may be wrong on that, and perhaps someone here can enlighten me. To me it seems premature to go forward with the civil case, since the criminal trial is still months away.
 
  • #148
The court has already ruled that the two cases can go on at the same time, though he has placed some limits on discovery from Casey, to protect her 5th amendment rights. He could have chosen to stay the case, but he did not.
 
  • #149
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?

Just as some examples

- When did KC first tell you of Zanny the Nanny? When did you first hear the name?

- Did you ever meet Zanny the nanny?

- Did you ever speak with Zanny the nanny on the phone?

- Did you have a phone number for Zanny the nanny? If yes was it valid?

- Did Caylee ever speak of Zanny the Nanny?

- Did you have an address fro Zanny the Nanny?

- Did you ever go to that address?

- When did you learn the address, and from who?

And these are just the tip of the iceberg. These also don't include questions about Zanny the Nanny post Caylee going missing.

Hi and welcome... I'm new too.


Yeah.. that's what gets me. Seems like the civil suit would have to take a back seat to the criminal suit.

The court has already ruled that the two cases can go on at the same time, though he has placed some limits on discovery from Casey, to protect her 5th amendment rights. He could have chosen to stay the case, but he did not.

Yeah... and that makes things muddy. It's gonna make things difficult for ZG when both cases are running concurrently.

I am just confused as to whether those that think this case is bunk in the first place would then expext full immediate compliance by the family.
As longs as they are exercising their rights that are available to all of us, I have no problem with them postponing.

QUESTION:

are they refusing or just asking for a later date or postponing? there is a big difference and I haven't had a chance to go through the depo thread.

JBean, from what I heard discussed on JVM and NG, I think they are just postponing, not refusing altogether.
IMOO, I don't understand why the need for Mr. Morgan et al to want to ask them anything regarding ZFG, since they were not the ones who started this, but they did continue to say in public that the nanny took Caylee, so that makes sense to me in one way. Personally, I don't get their reluctance to do it. If it were me, I would want to get it over with and out of the way, but I assume they are going on the advice from their lawyer.
 
  • #153
I didn't vote on this poll. I think they are within their rights, but I'm not sure the reason given for postponment is completlety legit. I WAS disappointed that the depos didn't go forward. The thing that came to my mind when this all went down, I wondered if there are actual medical records documenting this extreme state of mind of CA to the point where she couldn't function enough to think clearly and answer some questions. The reason I bring this up is, Cindy is a nurse and I wonder if she has any "good doctor friends" who would be willing to, uh, go to bat for her and exaggerate some things in the records.

Exactly, Casey pinned this on the ZFG at Sawgrass (no ZFG ever lived at Sawgrass, ZFG just happened to be the unlucky one to apply for an apartment that day). She has every right to file a lawsuit and have her day in court. You can't slander someone in this country and get away with it. CA/GA knew that Casey was a known liar, thief, and sociopath. They knew there was no ZFG but they kept up the charade in the media. Zenaida has been harmed by this. How could anyone not be harmed by being accused of kidnapping? I don't believe for one second they are unable to attend the hearing due to mental issues. GA was able to hightail it to the Haleigh case and get his mug on TV as a paid spokesperson for KFN. Cindy had no problem speaking at a public, televised memorial and even sang a little duet. This is a stalling tactic that I hope won't work.
:clap::clap::clap:You said everything I would say!

Absolutely - I was really starting to think that George was coming out of denial - I still think he is led around by Cindy, and I think if given his own choice he may have gone forward with the depos.

As for Cindy - WAKE UP! I know she's your daughter and you love her more than life - you carried her, you raised her, you had a deep relationship with her - but Cindy, she MURDERED your beloved granddaughter and has been lying about it.

I know you want tp protect your own child, but it is too late! Let her suffer the consequences and pay penance - only then will you begin to heal.
---------
I feel exactly the same as you do.I think George is holding back a lot to protect C.A..He told the Detective if C. saw the pictures,it would kill her.This
was during the police interview in the beginning.I wish C. would loosen up, it's not easy to admit your child is wrong but my god she cant go on denying it.It will eat away at both.There is a reason for their holding back, it's not good.II thought maybe they'd change but they haven't.
 
  • #157
I'm going to be in the minority here but I think George is a grown man with a mind of his own. I can't blame Cindy for George's actions, George is responsible for himself and his own conscience. He is also fully aware of the destruction Casey will cause if she is found not guilty and rejoins society. If he lies to try and get her her off, I hope they have jail cell waiting for him too. Maybe the judge needs to explain perjury to them about 20 times before they open their mouth.

No, their reluctance to sit for depositions does not affect my opinion of the Anthonys.

What goes unnoticed is how the insistence and grandstanding of Mr. Morgan plays so well for the cause of the prosecution. I think ZFG's lawyer is (like all the rest of the people on TV) just making "hay" out of the whole situation.

Now, before I get seriously dive-bombed, let me reiterate what my opinion of the Anthonys (which remains unchanged) is! I think they are some really mentally strange people. I think their capacity for denial is unlimited. My opinion is that their daughter is a cold-blooded murderer.

As for ZFG (the real one) and her suit, good for her. Why shouldn't she complain, after being used by this (in my opinion) murderer? However, many people think no one should ever be a plaintiff in a personal injury suit. (I don't agree with that.) In the end, if anything is collected by ZFG, it will be from some insurance company, or from Casey... so I don't care... one is in the business of taking risks, and the other in my opinion is a murderer.

No. It doesn't change my opinions of the A fam at all. I expect them to fight telling the truth no matter what!
 
  • #160
Telling the truth should not be hard to do. It gets hard once you've told a bunch of lies.

I voted "yes".

The subject matter must be excruciating for them but that has nothing to do with the legalities of the matter.

They get away with delaying, blaming, hiding when it suits them but coming out when they perceive it would help them, and dodging bullets because society should have compassion for them.

YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER WASN'T REPORTED MISSING FOR 31 DAYS. YOU KNEW SHE WAS MISSING SINCE JULY 3. YOU ARE DECEPTIVE.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SMELLED IN THAT CAR. OWN UP OR YOU WILL GO TO JAIL TOO.
