FBI Investigating Email That Could Land Cindy In Jail

[MIL]

Much ado about nothing. Mr. Garrison is spittin' in the wind, it's not tampering... not even close.

its covering up imo

Or it can be construed as "LE asked for a brush with Caylee's hair in it and Cindy gave them one." If she'd run over to the neighbor's house real quick and borrowed one of their brushes to give to LE, then I'd suspect her motives.

The email simply implies that she did not give them the one with only Caylee's hair. She chose to give them one with, perhaps KC's and Caylee's hair. That's what she allegedly says in the email. That = impeding an investigation. She intentionally gave them the more "difficult" sample to use and the email makes it clear that she knew what she was doing.

MOO

I don't know if some posters are just trying to play devil's advocate here, or if they actually believe that Cindy's behaviors (washing the pants and knife, not giving LE credit card statements, giving LE a hairbrush not solely used by Caylee, although there is one, etc.) aren't inappropriate and can't be viewed as interfering with the investigation. :waitasec:

I think the question people will be asking is ‘Why would she do that?’

I think the conclusion people may arrive at is that she didn’t want LE to be able to match the hair in the trunk with Caylee’s.

Why not?

Because the hair in the trunk shows that it came from a dead body.

This revelation may put a serious crimp in the Anthony family’s ability to continue its public “search” for Caylee.

What other revealing tidbits did Cindy share with her erstwhile spokesman? It will be interesting to see Nancy Grace’s reaction to this news, since she has supported the Anthonys on her show. Will Larry the G be taking a spot on her guest bench alongside Leonard Padilla?

It doesn't say that she gave them a brush Caylee had never used, does it? It just says she didn't give them the one Caylee EXCLUSIVELY used. So unless the brush handed over had never, ever been used by Caylee, I don't think we'll see obstruction or tampering charges.

What is more interesting is why LG would know about this at all. Did Cindy tell him? If she did, did she tell him because she didn't think she had done anything wrong? or did she confess to him that she tried to hide evidence? Context would be appreciated!

Kinda like the pants...I washed them, but I told you I washed them.

"So is this "obstructing justice?" Eyewitness News looked up the legal definition: "An attempt to interfere with the administration of the courts, the judicial system or law enforcement officers, including threatening witnesses, improper conversations with jurors, hiding evidence, or interfering with an arrest. Such activity is a crime."

And: "It is unlikely the Anthonys would be charged since they lost their granddaughter, but the issues could affect their credibility if they try to defend Casey in court."

Okay, so I guess it's not a crime if parents and grandparents obstruct justice. How far out on the family tree does this immunity extend? First Cousins? Second Cousins? Or is only immediate family, including brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles?

I dont understand why the excuse "they lost their granddaughte" would be a reason not to charge them. Breaking the law is breaking the law. Geeze if I could use the excuse...but im grieving, I would break the law all the time.

Helping to cover up a crime, is a crime plain and simple. They should be charged.

We might have a new precedence started...Yes I covered up a crime but you cant charge me because of the "Anthony rule".

"It is unlikely the Anthonys would be charged since they lost their granddaughter, but the issues could affect their credibility if they try to defend Casey in court."


This is ridiculous! This whole grieving grandparents thing is b.s. Grieving grandparents would do any and everything to find their missing grandchild. There is absolutely no good reason for Cindy to do what she did. Obstructing justice is just that, whether you have lost a family member or not. She belongs in :behindbar right along with her disgusting daughter.

 

[CourtsInSession]

I like the fact he will say more in the future and can't wait to see in what capacity...

Wouldn't Larry be in trouble too for knowing this information and withholding it until now? Also, couldn't he be facing charges for knowing even more information and not coming forward as soon as he no longer 'worked' for the Anthony's?

 

[Chilly Willy]

A link to where you recalled reading that the hairbrush contained both Casey and Caylee's hair. I disagree. This is every bit as bad as it sounds. No excuses or spin is going to make this one sound better.

I suppose I'll go search it down, not that it matters. We know that LE has Caylee's hair sample.

If Cindy gave them a brush that had only Casey's hair in it, LE would have known that almost right away and come back asking for another brush.

 

[RR0004]

Cindy Anthony tries to give the appearance that she's cooperating with investigators, but Eyewitness News has learned she and her husband George have been stalling for weeks to answer their follow-up questions in the investigation.

Probably 'cause they may actually now have to go out and pay for an attorney.

LE asks for Caylee's brush. Cindy purposely gives LE Casey's brush. Looks like tampering to me.

 

[Pink Panther]

True, the lab can figure it out. But the wrong brush would likely give fewer samples and take the lab longer to sort them out.

But the more important fact is the insight it gives everyone to CA's intent. That's why it's important.

Exactly! :clap:

I second that and throw in a WOW!

Well, I will back up your second with:

It does go to credibility, as to whether the A's are really focused on searching for Caylee versus protecting KC knowing Caylee's fate.

I think the charges will come later, once CA tries too hard during the trial to defend KC in a web of lies upon lies and commits purgery -- for now I will take the added hit on credibility. Another strike.

Me thinks they doth protest too much........ they tried to be puppetmaster and got the strings crossed up.

 

[Pattymarie]

its covering up imo

Yes, and revealing her mindset

 

[Jolynna]

How does the email show what CA is 'really up to?' What if Cindy told LG that it occurred to her after she gave LE the brush Casey and Caylee shared that she could have given them the one that was used exclusively by Caylee?

Without the context, it's impossible to say what actually happened or to make any judgments, IMO.

If it wasn't important why the discussion?

Why would Cindy tell Garrison she didn't give LE the best available evidence in the first place?

Was Cindy trying to downplay the hair evidence?

 

[not_my_kids]

Okay, here's a question.
Could LG still be on the payroll? I really don't think that Cindy would willingly let herself be put in a position like this, but what if she is orchestrating this? The object if the Anthony's all along has been to confuse the issue. Look what this new info is doing. Did LE ever have Caylee's hair, or have they been testing Casey's? Could that be what caused the discrepancies in the FBI testing, leading to words like possibly on the prelim reports? Some newer evidentiary techniques, such as using death banding on hair, is still new. And juries don't like new things, especially technical things. Does anyone remember what juries did with DNA evidence when it was first being used?
So, although I have been rambling, what if LG is being paid to further muddy the waters?

 

[doogiesgirl]

now i see why she wont take a lie detector

Exactly.

Didn't LE get the brush from Cindy almost immediately after Caylee was reported missing, long before there was any knowledge of a hair with signs of decomp being found in the trunk?

 

[MaedchenX]

I don't know if some posters are just trying to play devil's advocate here, or if they actually believe that Cindy's behaviors (washing the pants and knife, not giving LE credit card statements, giving LE a hairbrush not solely used by Caylee, although there is one, etc.) aren't inappropriate and can't be viewed as interfering with the investigation. :waitasec:

Agreed, and it goes beyond that. I recall that in her interview with FBI she makes some claim that the police have yet to follow up on some peice of information she has, the agent points out that she has yet to even turn over this tidbit to LE. How could they possibly follow up on something she had not shared with them? Easy, she never intended them to.
