LE at Anthony Home on Jan. 16th

[Black Magic Woman]

I don't know that I find him not to be honest...but like most attorneys...he only says what benefits his client. Even though he technically only represents George & Cindy - it is painfully obvious that they support Casey and her story. So BC follows and will say whatever supports Casey as well - as long as it doesn't jeopardize G & C. He is really just doing his job. At least he has managed to keep his clients off the airways. That is quite an accomplishment!

my bold
Thank god for this small favor!

You have no idea how it pains me to have to agree with this, but after hearing this: (I do agree)

"D`ONOFRIO: What I`m hearing from everyone I speak to, Nancy, is that there are -- there are going to be no charges brought against anyone in the Anthony family. Not Lee, not Cindy, not George. They will not be prosecuted for obstruction of justice, absolutely nothing. "

This is an excerpt for the nancy Grace Show, Jan.9. The reporter is
Jessica D`Onofrio from WKMG TV.

But, IIRC, and I may not RC, Kathi B was later sceptical of the reliability of that info, and in particular queried whether they had been able to determine a date of death as was reported? It was either on NG or JVM that she said something like that.

BC also told us that he spent 3 hours with LE discussing crime scene pics, told us DC was at the site because of Kiomarie saying it was a teen hangout, told us DC did not need a lawyer etc. I find him as honest and reliable as the rest of the As and their team.

What a shame...I had such high hopes for him.

I'm so sick of BC and his thrice daily pressers, that quite frankly, I'd prefer the As started talking again instead of him. At least they only talked every few days or so...he's in our faces spewing propoganda 24/7.

I have seen LE say this right up to the moment the cuffs were slapped on. LE is not going to advertise it to the A fam or their attorneys if and when there is to be an arrest. I also think this may go to the GJ.

Didn't this happen to Casey where they said they were not going to arrest her then they did it out of the blue, IIRC? (JB was furious they arrested her instead of allowing her to turn herself in. They did not tell him an arrest was coming when it did on the check charges.)

I truly, truly, hope you are correct.

 

[TxRose]

Well, I don't know if they will or will not bring charges against one or more of the A's - but the threat of it has certainly done the trick. Since the rumors of potential charges started heating up, we haven't heard Cindy, George or Lee on the airways. So they have definitely been told to keep quiet and not say anything else that could conflict with previous statements...or be seen as obstruction. So maybe LE is satisfied with just the silence!

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Too many instances in this case spell out the dire need for them to ask for Immunity...ALL of them. Without it, I don't see why charges could not or should not be filed.

On Jan. 12th Issues, Kathi B had this to say about some of the info reported on by Jessica D....

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes. I mean, that`s -- Kathi Belich, I want to go to you on this. How are people talking about all of these detailed forensics when we`ve been hearing, from Tim Miller from Equi Search, hey, we couldn`t even get in there to search because it was all covered in water. That`s why we didn`t find the body because the body was underwater.

I mean, now we`re hearing oh, well, all of these insects were able to grow and this grass was able to grow and that`s how they`re determining cause of death.

BELICH: The best that I could tell you about that is I`m not sure that that information that has gotten out is entirely accurate. And that might be why you`re having a hard time trying to reconcile it with reality.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Ok. In other words, you`re saying that the reports that they have, the authorities have narrowed the time of death and that the botanists and the etymologists have analyzed the terrain and come up with these determinations. That there is controversy about whether or not the police source has actually said that?

BELICH: Correct

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0901/12/ijvm.01.html

To me, that means the other info she got from that police source (re no As being charged) may also be wrong.

I doubt it...I would guess they are very busy investigating the pi's video at the moment. I can't see them letting that go.

 

[justbeachy]

Maybe Cindy tried to choke George.

Ok...that was in bad taste. I'll slap myself on the wrist.

 

[MOMto5]

FWIW, last night I went to dinner with my Mother (with whom I've never discussed the case) and she announced that she'd have thrown me under the bus long ago if it were me in Casey's place (I have a daughter a few years older than Caylee). I pressed her and she said she might not go all out to try and help convict me, but she wouldn't be saying "she's innocent" in public and that she'd simply be silent. Mom says it bothers her the stuff she hears from Cindy Anthony. I kind of think a lot of other grandmoms would feel the same way as my Mom, rather than Cindy. But I've not taken a poll.

I most definately feel the same way as your mother. I think that is what infuriates me so much about CA's behavior. As a grandmother myself, I am just completely unable to understand it. I know that people say that you don't know what you would do unless you were in this situation, but I DO know. I would give my very last breath for my granddaughter and would never be able to help her murderer go free, no matter who it was. I love my son more than I could ever even express in words. But, like your mother, there is no way I could make an all out effort to help him escape being held responsible for the death of my own grandbaby. I would be interested on seeing the results of a poll on this.

Very good observation (noting a reliability problem concerning the same source in another context)!!!

 

[CentralFLMama]

with them meeting at their home, I can't help but wonder if they may have went there to tell the Anthony's about the toxicology reports that came back on Caylee. I think they would give them the respect of telling them how they think their grand daughter died.

I agree, and hearing that a news crew was there and agreed to keep is a secret confirms that to me.

 

[Oakley]

Could this have anything to do with Casey and her present state of mind or condition? One of the tabloids is reporting that she has been saying that she wants another child so Caylee will have a sister when she comes home. It sounded as if she is acting strange. Of course, consider the source.

 

[justbetweenus]

So too do I agree that no charges should be filed against the Anthony family. I saw nor heard anything that can be construed as deliberate misleading of LE's investigation. What I did hear was a desperate mother trying to convince the world at large, as well as herself, that her daughter was not capable of murdering her own child. You cannot convince me that any mother among us, despite police "evidence", would readily accept that premise. We would explore every avenue and deadend street to find exculpatory evidence of our own to PROVE that our own child was innocent. This isn't in any way, denying justice to the grandchild she so obviously held dear. It is self defense against insanity and self destruction.

Good post, I agree.

Interesting. Also, I noticed that as much as I'm sure my parents love me, there is no denying the relative strength of their emotions towards my daughter. In fact, I sometimes feel like they'd do anything for my daughter but if it involves a favor just for me (and not my daughter too) they are not so inclined. I may have even gotten mildly annoyed by this in the past (but it quickly passed). With Casey's temperament and anger, I can well imagine how awful things were when Cindy did similar things. Instead of accepting the natural shift of attentions (which I have totally accepted), Casey probably was furious. To me at least, it doesn't seem like Caylee is number one anymore though in Cindy's priorities. Unless...she knew Caylee was gone and there was nothing she could do but.....still.

 

[LEFT-COASTER]

hmm.. mabe they went to ask for cell phone records, so they can check out if any of them were talking to the PI during the search..
that Im sure would put Cindy in a funk

 

[bunnyphoenix1]

Maybe Cindy tried to choke George.

If Cindy really loves her daughter and wants to help her, she would come clean about choking her the day before. It is obviously a matter the Court could take into account in sentencing Casey and given her age, her upbringing, family life etc will be quite relevant, and I would think an admission re choking her could take a few years off Casey's sentence. I bet she doesn't "love" her enough to make that admission (assuming it happened).

 

[Kimster]

I don't know, maybe they were calling to report that their common sense has been missing for 6 months.
