Is GA Acting or has he really changed?

[Peachy Keen]

I believe GA, and I have never been a fan of the A's. I feel that he is devastated by the accusations against him. I think he has seen the light and realizes how evil ICA really is.

If anyone follows the Eyes For Lies website, she thinks George is being 100% truthful.

I hope this site is okay to mention.

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 decide.

Maybe it's the letter in the "What's in the Minds of her Father, Mother, Brother Right Now" section? It stunned me so much I thought it was a spoof. Apparently, it's genuine. My comment was that Mr. Anthony must be in constant emotional torment.

IMO, George is saying and doing what JB wants him to do.
He is now a puppet for JB in order to save his daughter.
Any anger or dislike he shows for JB seems disingenuous to me.

I feels like it is more a another fight between Casey and her parents. just more family dysfunction.

 

[Peachy Keen]

Will the jury get to see the taped interviews between the A's and the detectives?

This question is a bit offensive to me. GA was totally truthful when he was interviewed by LE when casey was reported missing. He was truthful during his testimony at hearings. He was apparently very truthful during the grand jury proceedings.

Yes, he was weird during depos and lied to the media. But, GA was always truthful when it mattered most which is why casey is on trial for her life.

I don't think he has changed much except he continues to suffer unimaginably.

 

[Eidetic]

It would be a very radical change, IMO, if he did change. People don't just change like a pair of undies. We are made to NOT change (thus, having the same personality, preferences and quirks one's whole life long).

So I'm gonna vote he has NOT changed in any significant way. He may have changed tactics. We may have misunderstood him in one way or another all along. I think we are still learning what makes the Anthony's tick under extreme pressure and in a no-win situation.

I change like a pair of undies then I suppose :waitasec:
I use insight and sometimes have to make some pretty hard decisions to change what is not working for me. I try to be a decent person but I have made mistakes, I learn.

I agree with the portion I underlined. :twocents:

I've made no secret of how I've felt about GA and CA and how they've behaved from the infamous 'Day One'. I found their actions despicable and disgusting from the get go.

On occasion - waaay back when - I would feel slight glimmers of hope for GA and felt he really wanted to tell the truth about what he thought happened to Caylee and the extent of ICA's involvement. Then he would reel himself back in - or be reeled back in by CA - to toe the company line, so to speak. I think he was/is a tortured soul, torn between the truth and keeping a united family front in support of his daughter. I think it's apparent that he hasn't had much of a backbone in his lifetime.

I was on pins and needles yesterday when he was on the stand. I would have bet my home that he was going to fall on the sword for ICA. I was shocked and proud when he stood up for Caylee instead.

Is he acting? I truly don't know. I believed him yesterday. I found him credible. But is it because I WANT to believe him? I just don't know. At this point I'm leaning heavily toward him finally growing a spine, finding his voice and doing what's right. I hope I'm right. Time will tell...

I think GA was about to show his temper, they had a recess and I really believe GA attorney told him to calm down. I will trust that GA is standing up for Caylee now, he and CA went to counseling and I will give them the benefit of doubt for Caylee.

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!

I would do anything to save my daughter. :beats: (or my sons for that matter) I think when GA said that he was under a lot of duress and the circumstances have changed considerably. I wouldn't, of course, if one of my children murdered someone but I can see why he would SAY that as it's a common thing for a parent to think/feel/say.

I think GA & CA reacted badly to the horrible situation and I've known of many people to do the same when faced with a crisis. It does not make it right, of course, but I can see why it happened.

I am very unconvinced that they're in on some conspiracy with JB, neither party seems brilliant enough to think that up and GA seemed pretty true to form in court today, with his temper etc. It definitely didn't feel forced to me.

JMO of course and I'm not meaning to be argumentative. I don't blame anybody for not trusting them, certainly!

Hang on let me try and find it.

See I thought just the opposite today. Although George is a known liar, he came across very well today, and didn't let his temper get out of control when Baez was clearly baiting him about the duct tape on the gas cans. I don't think George is in cahoots with the defense team anymore. The molestation allegations are too disgusting to lay down and let the bus run him over!

 

[iluvmua]

Can I type it?

 

[LinasK]

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

One biggy that was disproven today- George asked Casey about Caylee on June 24th, assumed she was under Casey's care. Wouldn't have done that if he'd found her drowned on June 16th!!!:snooty:

 

[ecs5298]

I'd like to think that GA is has changed and is standing up for truth and justice. It's just that there is too much A family history of lying for me to be convinced of it. Time will tell....time will tell!

JMHO

I am wondering if GA agreed to be the scapegoat in this case. I can’t imagine someone agreeing to their daughter falsely accusing them of sexual abuse, but who knows? What if JB said to the Anthonys “Look, either you help us out or your daughter is going to get the death penalty, we can’t win this case any other way.” There are very few parents who would say no to something if it meant life or death for their child, even if their child had done some horrible things.

CA’s testimony is the one I’m waiting for. I just keep wondering if she’s going to side with KC or GA about the sexual abuse. This trial is starting out crazier than I could’ve ever imagined.

Wow! Great catch! :clap:

 

[ProfessionaLurker]

Perhaps I trust people too much, but I think he's changed and I believe he was very hurt by the accusations leveled against him by his daughter. My heart is warmer toward him, that's for sure.

I have to agree with you. I've had three radical changes in my life- 1) I did a 180 turnaround in my opinion on the death penalty, 2) and on abortion, 3) I voted Republican for the first time in my life!!!

I'm just thinking "out loud" here but wouldn't it be more effective if GA went on the stand and hesitated a lot in his response when asked about the sexual abuse or maybe even pushed it one further in saying something damning along the lines for example, of: "Well, I would wash her in the bathtub and my fingers slipped...she's just remembering things wrong. It was all innocent." To make it so that the jury would have MAJOR red flags instead of the scale leaning way more towards not?
