Not at all!:snooty:

I am unable to feel sorry for KC. Whatever mental deficiencies she may have that allowed her to do the unthinkable, I feel that she falls far short of the criteria for true mental illness. She was not some underprivileged project kid with no parents in the home and horrible living conditions. This is a girl who had options and chose not to avail herself of them for whatever perverse reason she may have. Certainly Cindy and George would have lovingly taken custory of Caylee ,and KC could have allowed her to grow up and thrive. She would have still been able to have access to her beautiful daughter, while at the same time enjoyed her freedom to party or sleep around or do whatever it is that it was so damn important for her to do that she killed her child.

When I look at KC, I see a pretty young girl who manipulated everybody in her world to do her bidding. She let her friend believe she would soon be living with her in the Hopespring Dr. house, then KC wiped out her bank account after her friend loaned her car to her. She stole from her invalid grandfather, her hardworking mother and brother. She cursed her father who was trying to ascertain the location of the gas cans she had stolen from him. Every chance she had to tell the truth was obfuscated by more and more lies and wild goose chases. She cries only when she pauses to reflect upon her future behind bars. She doesn't mourn her daughter. She mourns the loss of the party lifestyle that drove her on.

Many have speculated that she was victimized by some form of abuse, and I agree that her behavior is common amongst abuse survivors, but that alone doesn't convince me she was ever abused. It's also common amongst sociopaths, of which she is one. If she were abused, then it's time to fix that problem. She is no longer a child. She is a woman of 22 years who has a young daughter. If the alleged problems from her past were causing her to act erratically and she felt as if she were on the edge of a breakdown, as has been reported, there are doctors, hospitals, therapists, online communities devoted solely to helping abuse victims recover. I don't know if she had insurance or not, but I would venture to say that if Cindy knew that KC truly felt unstable in emotion, body or mind, she would move heaven and earth to get her the help that she needed to work through her issues. Cindy is a nurse and has access to many medical resources. I just don't see how she is to be pitied as the facts emerge in this case.

I'm one of those who believe she may well have been abused by both her brother and father, AND I also believe it does nothing to excuse her actions!!!

Besides CAYLEE, SP, and the Grunds[/B], I have ZERO feelings of sadness for any one of them. Maybe if they had stayed out of the media and simply state that they love their daughter no matter what she did, and we are here to see justice get done. No matter who did it, if god forbid my daughter did, I can accept that and try to show her some love and support. But she would have to confess to me first and foremost for me to support her." (((of course us here never see that ever happening)))

I agree...saying nothing is not an option.

I feel empathy for Caylee, Tim Miller, Roy Kronk, LE and SA, and any other people that have been hurt or accused as part of this circus. No innocent person deserves to have the blame for this horrible crime cast upon them. I feel so much empathy for Roy Kronk for that reason. We don't have much in common except wanting to follow our investigative instincts and curiosity, and look what that got him. He was accused of the murder after being hailed as a hero for finding the body. How despicable. It makes me hesitate in wanting to help someone, not that I wouldn't, but it still makes me stop and think. Thankfully, he's been cleared, and I hope he's able to go on and live his life and put this circus behind him.

I also feel a lot of empathy for Casey's former friends. I've befriended people who have manipulated and used me, tricked me into believing they were something they were not, and have had at least one steal from me and vandalize my car to do it. I sincerely hope that they are able to move on from scum like Casey, and maybe learn to be a little more particular in who they are friends and boyfriends/girlfriends of. I got the impression that these were young people who just hung out with whoever, either from naivete or just not caring who they were around. Maybe now they can know better who to hang around with and trust, and to go with their instincts more if they don't trust a person, and better pay attention to who they are hanging out with. That's what I've learned to with my experience.

Also, no one deserves to have to deal with a circus of a case that constantly puts them not only under scrutiny, but led around in circles by the defense at every turn. It is ridiculous how little work the defense has done and how much they want everyone else to do their work for them. I can't wait for the hearing on Tuesday, where I hope HHJP will bring the hammer down on the defense for continuing to whine and complain. And I can't wait to see LE and SA shine at trial with all of the good work they have done coming to light and convincting Casey with more certainty than we think they will. I know we are in for a heck of a show once the trial starts, and I can't wait for that. Then will be the time that karma really bites the defense in the butt and the SA and LE can finally shed the lies, delays, and manipulations of the defense in front of the jury who will see them for what they really are - the only people close to the case that are standing up for a murdered two year old girl.

I also feel some empathy for Lee, since we are both the oldest child in our families and we both have to deal with younger siblings who bring trouble to the family while we remain the good kids the whole time. Of course, my younger sister is nowhere near as bad as Casey, but I understand how it is to be the oldest, what's expected of the oldest, and how life is when there is a troublesome sibling. However, I do NOT like him covering for Casey, and I would NEVER do that for my sister. I am hoping beyond all rational hope that he will finally stand up for Caylee at trial, and if he doesn't, I will lose every bit of empathy I ever had for him. He is on a thin, thin line with me. There's being the good kid in bad times, being supportive but upright, and then there's being a sheep that goes along with whatever is happening, doing only what mom says, and not standing up for what's right and moral. I don't care how dysfunctional that family is, to stand back and be silent is just despicable when you have a murdered child and your sibling is the one accused with good reason.

As for the other A's, I've NEVER felt empathy for Cindy. She is my mother times 10, and I can't stand that she'd rather stand up and look crazy for an image of a perfect family than admit that they have faults, that maybe she didn't raise Casey correctly or that she should have gotten help for Casey and herself a lot sooner, or that she loves Casey but Casey should face consequences for what she's done. All she's wanted to do is sweep it all under the rug to keep up the perfect family image. I've had image dug into my brain my whole life, "don't embarrass me in public, don't got out the house without makeup on, don't talk about those things in front of other people," but I tell you what, if I or my siblings did anything to hurt someone else, my mother would hold us to it and expect us to suffer consequences. Thank GOD she's not like Cindy, who'd rather give excuses upon excuses for a bandaid, surface fix instead of really getting at what's wrong in her family and doing something about it. Of all of them, I really abhor her the most, and I am not someone who easily hates anyone, but all I can feel for her is hate.

As for George and Casey, they are two peas in a pod. Lazy, selfish, and getting by with mooching off of other people instead of getting a job and working hard to accomplish something. I was raised the polar opposite, so they both disgust me. Then you have George, cowing by his wife's side, saying and doing what she wants him to say and do (except if it's mooching off of some other woman), and basically being the bad, inexcusable father he's always been. My father is the polar opposite, and I know he would hold me more to my problems than my own mother. You know, I actually had empathy for George at one time, but after not doing the right thing time and again, I lost every bit of it. If he were to stand up for Caylee in court, I might get some back, but I just don't see that happening.

Casey - NEVER EVER for her. She's all the things I despise the most in not only other females but humans. I hope she is afraid of getting the DP because that is what she deserves for treating Caylee like an accessory that went out of style rather than her own flesh and blood child. I don't care how bad her parents were or how dysfunctional that home was, there is NO EXCUSE for what she did and I can't wait to hear her proclaimed guilty so this whole circus can finally come to an end.

So A's, defense, anyone on Casey's side = O empathy (extremely little for Lee, very minute).
Caylee and anyone on Caylee's side and/or anyone affect negatively by this case = all the empathy in every fiber of my being.

I feel horrible for all the people who got drug into this (Tony, Amy etc.)
As for the Anthony's... Well, not so much. I feel bad that they had to suffer the loss of their beloved grand daughter.. BUT, if they cared an ounce about that child.. they'd want justice for her (IMO)
They remind me of MY parents. My sister has been a horrible heroin addict for years and years and years... and my parents will enable her behavior. I'm surprised that she hasn't gone all "Casey Anthony" on her son yet.. because they tried to make her be responsible for him.. yet she always lied her way out of it. They knew she wasn't working, yet still gave her the vehicles for the drug runs.. still paid for everything. Bailed her out and tried to lie for her and cover up.
So, imo.. they're just as guilty.

I just went thru a "situation" with my 13 year old son.. and instead of trying to cover anything up.. I made sure the truth was known... even if it meant he could've possibly been in a lot of trouble. People who constantly get away with things never learn their lesson

Here is who I feel sad for:
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS648U0xTI0[/ame]
if you turn it up, you can hear Grampa singing ( humming ) to little Caylee.

 

[kbl8201]

since we our listing people we DO have empathy for i'd add the woman the anthonys tried to burn at the stake as the 'real' zanny.

the roy kronk thing i never used to understand when people would say 'well i dont think i'll volunteer if this can happen to this guy.' and then james king found nadia buried in a swamp and all of a sudden he was attilla the hun. so when people say 'no, i wont volunteer now' i totally understand.

OT / but....would you take my ten year old for the summer ????? : )

I do not feel sad for Casey, Cindy, George or Lee.

Instead of admitting there never was a babysitter because Casey DID NOT HAVE A JOB, Cindy, George and Lee kept that fiction alive. They rattled on and on about "hearing" her name for years, having phone numbers and addresses that turned out to be more lies from Casey. That encouraged Casey to stick to her false story.

They had the nerve to cast suspicion on Amy, Ricardo, Roy Kronk, Jesse, etc., even while admitting Casey has been a liar for years. They were quick to point the finger at others while absolving precious Casey of any crime. They are complete idiots who deserve the scorn of decent people. The fact that they believed every stupid, easily disproved lie Casey told them shows the world what complete fools they are.

I live in the state of Florida. We are facing huge budget cuts. Knowing what this trial is costing the state, and how Baez lies, misrepresents and manipulates the system to get cash for his no good, high school dropout, unwed mother, unemployed, promiscous client's case infuriates me.

Casey, her lawyers, and her family are beneath comtempt and get no sympathy from me. I find them all repulsive.

 

[The World According]

Who I am concerned for is Jesse. I hope a local attorney will step up and offer to be his lawyer pro bono. That young man the defense is still gunning for, make no mistake about it. Cindy's state depo reads like 101 reasons Jesse could have done it.... Jesse used our computer, Jesse had a key to the car, Jesse this, Jesse that. The one thing that I can think of that LP did right was to get Jesse's father and let him know, mom, Dom, Jose and Casey were actively trying to pin this on his son.

and my question to this inane theories would always be to baez and the rest of the defense team, 'where was the opportuinty for him (or anyonelse besides casey) to do it?' besides the imaginary nanny that took caylee off to see the wizard, who was the last person to see caylee alive? oh thats right. her worthless mother.

so if they point the finger at anyone, the implicated 'zanny' that they found, jesse, roy kronk, amy (heck you never know with these lawyers) is when did they have the opportunity (nevermind motive) to do it?

 

[kbl8201]

not to mention that jesse truly loved caylee and didnt even care that he wasnt her bio dad.

May the civil jury award her immense amounts of money, however symbolic it may be.

 

[kaRN]

I'm saddened that an innocent child died as a result of the family dysfunction. I feel nothing but disgust for the adults who remain.

 

[affinity]

Yes. I feel sad for everyone. Including Casey.

 

[Ada]

Knowing what we know now, think back to those first pics and videos. You know, where she was strutting around in the blue hoodie, smiling all smug for the camera.

Looking back at how she was from the very beginning, I feel no sympathy for KC. Just want to ask her 'hows that smug working for you now?'

 

[Aedrys]

Yes. I feel sad for everyone. Including Casey.

Well, you are a far bigger person than me because I just can't feel empathy no matter how hard I try for the defense or the A's. I wish I could feel it for them, but I just can't. Maybe I'm too cyncial and burned by people like them, I don't know. Kudos to you for being able to do that. I admire your empathy.

Honestly, they need someone to feel empathy for them since there's not much left that do.

 

[kbl8201]

i do feel for cindy's brother, since he is apperently the only one in the family with a clue.

wish he'd come to court and support caylee though
