Is GA Acting or has he really changed?

[Cabin girl]

I think his love for Caylee is genuine and the man is hurting. I think he has been pulled in every direction. I think he yearns for the truth to be out there and be done with this once and for all. Regardless of the mistakes the As have made and some of their actions that have certainly raised a brow or two, to put it mildly, I believe they loved their grand daughter.

 

[USARDOG]

Same here... I think he was in defense mode before, had a hard time believing that his daughter could have done the crime and had CA telling him what to think. Since the defense turned on him like a rabid possum... well I think it helped him to see the truth and actually helped the pros. I hope all of JB's schemes back fire on him like this one seems to have!

I hope the jurors were able to see the gaping holes in JB's opening statements.

That's what I think, almost. I think the whole defense is 90% JB's idea and some of the storyline hasn't been approved by KC and that may be why they had a tiff. I think now that the reality of what could happen to her has sunk in I think she'd sell her mother to a pimp if it would set her free. JMO

I can't wait to see the South Park episode where KC and Baez join Satan and Saddam Hussein in Hell. This sort of just popped into my head thanks to your post

I don't think George has changed.
While he may love and support his daughter and has shown that publicly, I've always thought he would be honest and tell the truth for Caylee.
I think he did it all the way back when he testified before the Grand Jury and I think he's doing it now.

ITA with this post. I dont think he has changed at all.
I believe he was honest in front of the Grand Jury as well.
His testimony in this trial sounds just how I remember his testimony when he was before the Grand Jury.


He loves Caylee.

His demeanor to me suggests someone who has been subjected to prolonged stress and grief.

Where did you read this letter?

Parts of it were read on one of the news programs late last night! Ga wrote to ICA how on earth, why, was she further tormenting the family with more lies?

 

[dodie20]

No, I don't think he's changed. I don't think he has ever liked JB and we're seeing that on the stand. He's probably thinking this is all Baez's doing and his precious daughter had nothing to do with it. Throwing someone under the bus is not foreign to the Anthony's. They themselves have tried to cast suspicion on others who were innocent. I know my opinion sounds cold, but anytime I've felt sorry for them, I've later regretted it.

you took the words right out of my mouth. There's been speculation that this is the road the defense would take, so it's hardly a shocker, but if he wasn't a part of the plan, this has to feel like a punch to the stomach. I'm sorry, but this seems like a lie to cover another lie, IMO, and GA, IMO, knows her pattern better than anybody. But like you said, any time you start to feel a little sorry for somebody in this case, we get the rug yanked out from under us. And you're right. They all wanted to cast suspicion elsewhere...anybody but themselves. It's like the saying...'when you point your finger at someone else, there are 3 pointing right back at you'. So, I don't think he's a part of the plan, (wouldn't that be illegal, unethical?), but I think he was expecting it. MOO

I think GA has certainly tried to gain some perspective, and who knows--maybe he's listening to his gut more. I'm recalling the report of GA accusing KC when she was out on bond with one of LP's people staying in the house.

I believe the nit-pickiness that GA has demonstrated with JB about his lawn-mowing routine and so on grants us a bit of insight into how GA and CA must argue and fight at home. I can certainly see each one of them calling out the other for not stating things 100% accurately during a disagreement. Fight the perfect fight. If I had to guess, I'd say he learned that from Cindy. Oh to be a fly on their wall......

 

[Whome?]

I'm not sure anyone would willingly go along with a plan that includes their being a child molester. I think JB set the A's up by encouraging them to speak out knowing how dysfunctional they are and that they would only make things worse.

However, GA and CA thought they were doing good only to discover JB was pushing the knife in their backs. GA was blindsided by this I believe. CA may be on board and support the accusations.

I think JB is baiting him because he knows GA has an explosive temper and if GA goes off on the witness stand that only helps the defense greatly. JMO

If anyone remembers a few weeks ago when JB had GA on the witness stand and made him cry by saying "you would do anything for your daughter...." speech,that was the set up then. GA knows what is going on and IMHO he's playing with fire,JB is not trustworthy and IF he gets ICA off,ICA being the psycho that she is will push for GA to go to jail for these very charges.GA received bad legal advise to fall on the sword for ICA. He should have called our resident atty RH long ago and got legal advise separate from CA JMHO:twocents:

 

[GracieLu]

ya know, after hearing the "i would do anything to save my daughter" statement im not sure whats going on... going to wait to hear from CA and LA before i give an opinion...

i still dont trust this family, sorry!

 

[Mountain_Kat]

I haven't followed every news story/bit of gossip that has come out about this case, so perhaps I can offer a perspective that many of you can't offer. I know very few intimate details about GA, other than the suicide attempt and a few interviews in media. I believe this is probably all that most of these jurors know about him.

To me, his testimony comes across as very credible. And I think, to juror's who don't know all of GA's history, his testimony probably seems equally credible to them.

For websleuthers who have followed every little detail of this case, including these people's personal lives, I think it bears considering that the majority of the people interested in this case DON'T know all of the details that you guys know, therefore, we look at the witnesses and testimony given during the trial much differently than you guys do. If that makes sense.

I WANT to believe in Santa too...but. I just don't trust any of them after what we have seen over time.

 

[suepitzl]

Anais.........SNIPPED............At first I did think it may be a setup, but I no longer believe that at all after reading the letter GA had sent to ICA in Mar. 2010. END OF SNIP..........Please Link. TIA

 

[suepitzl]

IMO, GA has had a literal "Come to Jesus" moment. I pray for him to continue on.

 

[sumbunny]

I will chew off my left arm, if cindy gets up on the stand and claims she knew about george sexually abusing casey, and that is why she wanted to divorce him!

I can't wait to hear cindy's testimony.
Also, since Dominic Casey was first Jose's detective. I believe JB put him in contact with CA and GA to dig up dirt on them as well. Plant evidence to make GA the scapegoat.

Wasnt' cindy extremely friendly with DC?
I am anxious to see DC's testimony as well. Will he also implicate GA?

It's such a mess. I believe GA by the way. I don't think he knew the defense team would twist the knife in his back this badly.

Time will tell what happens!

I cannot link because I saw it on one of the news programs last night, very late!

 

[Leila]

In the very beginning of this case, George was more truthful and pro-prosecution. On July 15, 2008 he took one of the detectives aside and told him he didn't think KC was telling all she knew. He went to the sheriffs station without CA knowing about it and talked more openly with the detectives and during that interview he was concerned about CA finding out he was there. He was even concerned about LA finding out he had come to the sheriffs station on his own and asked LE to make it look like they had called both GA and LE in for an interview.

It was only a while later - maybe a few weeks - that GA started adopting CA's attitude that Caylee was missing, kidnapped by the nanny, and LE wasn't doing enough to find her.

IF George has changed, it's not a matter of a changing his beliefs, it's a matter of dropping the charade.

 

[Rhyme & Reason]

I'm watching GA on the stand and I'm not sure what to think. It almost seems like he's trying to appear to be a hostile witness, arguing about JB specifying which gas can he was asking about having duct tape when it wouldn't matter since neither had the duct tape when he received them back. The arguing about which days he mowed the lawn, etc, things that are minor. It almost looks like they are play acting for the jury between the two of them. JB is acting disgusted at having to question GA when he's never had this attitude with the Anthony family before. Is GA a changed man or are he and JB putting on a show??

I'm convinced they're putting on a show, and neither one are very good actors.

 

[sumbunny]

What i'd love to know is what the defense assumes they'll find in george's grand jury testimony that is so important to their case?

The SA doesn't seem concerned. They'll leave it up to the judge to decided.
