Should Cindy and George be charged? Do They Need An Attorney?

[essies]

I am shocked and scared that the A's have not been charged with anything yet! Nothing is normal about their behavior and nothing is innocent about their reactions and vitriol for anyone that questions them.
They have one of Florida's most well known and respected Criminal lawyers...Why? For PR? Don't think so.
Just Google his name and see who he is: Atty, Philanthropist, public speaker at colleges and owner of a night club.
What concerns me is, he works with KFN and D Milstead is a convicted Felon asking for donations to find missing children... Milstead verbally threatened the newscaster from channel 6 and I guarantee he has threatened others. I am concerned that by having M Nejame in their court, they A's may very well escape any questions or accusations because he has many connections. He has made them out to be "Victims" and no one should question the "Grieving" Grandparents.


:behindbar it's time! IMO, is this organized crime? Is KC in deeper than we know with something and are they? IMO, how do they afford to even live?
How could anyone afford KC's phone bill every month and the life style??? lawyers, Disney clothes, best of everything? IMO, something dosn't add up.......:behindbar gotta be soon!!

Great observation!!:clap::clap:I've wondered too. Your husband has been outta work, your daughter is not only not working-she's ripping you off, you're supporting her and your grandaughter on RN pay! RN's can make good money, depending on your degree and where you work. But, remember-this is Florida and salaries for the most part suck as compared to other parts of the country. I know, I live here.

This was covered in another thread here someplace. He's a criminal attorney but was hired just to oversee the media and nothing criminal, I think.

Nejame said this many, many times.

You can believe him if you want to. It is my belief that part of what he says is true, however, Nejame is 2 things: a criminal defense attorney and a business man. Since Cindy is constantly crying that everyone (LE and the media) is unfair to her; Nejame has jumped on the opportunity to sue someone in the media and make big bucks. He got into the game way too late to prevent LE from using the Anthonys word against them, if criminal charges are ever filed. Plus, he hasn't exactly quieted Cindy down, has he?
I believe he's waiting in the weeds for someone in the media to do something that will push Cindy or George over the edge and he'll pounce, thus making himself and the Anthonys a few bucks.

He's involved himself in some situations on behalf of the Anthonys that are highly volitile (NG, meeting with Tim - who has been vilified by Cindy), and to me this proves his motives and direction.

Nothing would make me happier than to see Nejame defend one of his clients in court, but I just don't think that will happen, unless LE is doing a parallel investigation.

ga and ca should not be charged even thought they are probably not telling the whole truth. They have lost their beloved grandaughter, murdered by the hands of their own daughter, the childs mother. Now their daughter stands a good chance of getting the death penalty, and unlike alot of the states that have the death penalty florida will carry it out. You dont sit on death row here for 25 years. Long after this case is over and fades some from memory this family will still be playing the what if game, and that will be punishment enough.

 

[BeanE]

I will postpone my vote until after the trial. I hope various testimony will answer what GA, CA, and LA knew and when they knew it. If I was forced to answer now I would say charge CA with lying, destroying evidence and obstructing an investigation. As for GA and LA, I am just not sure at this point as they have not been outspoken like CA.

Their refusal to take polygraphs is highly suspicious to me though.

Agreed. If you want to find out what happened to your beloved grandchild/niece, you take the poly to rule things out so LE can move forward with their investigation as quickly and efficiently and thoroughly as possible. Particularly if you *really do* believe your grandchild/niece is alive.

 

[passionflower]

YES, I never changed my mind......LA,GA,CA all know something and keep LE in caos
they should all be charged with lying, cleaning up a crime scene (car). What is taking so long! If separated they may squeal on each other! IMO

We could never do it on our income and I am sure it is more than the 'A" family unless they inherited a bundle or won the lottery! IMO, follow the money trail on them! They live a great lifestyle and supporting KC and Caylee with the best of clothes, cell phones, toys and other things! IMO, there is something bigger here than we see.

 

[RevCrim]

I think yes for many reason- HOWever-

Their biggest crime has been against Little Kaylee!

 

[ThoughtElf]

How is KFN hiring anyone when the owners, the Milsteads just had their house foreclosed on? This mess is so convoluted.

No way, Turbo. How did I miss that tidbit from way back? Spill.

 

[LucyLu]

What can you charge them with? Being bad parents?

 

[Skully]

After just viewing the thread Windchime put up, the youtube videos of "You are my Sunshine" I say yes, and the charges would be lying to the Feds, OJ, tampering with evidence, and any other thing that LE can come up with:furious::furious::furious::furious::furious::furious::furious::furious:

 

[skippi]

Criminal Attorney because they have criminal knowledge!

Right on CCMom! Let's not forget Lee, and the wiping out/blue screen o' the CP. May be his name should've been included in this poll, as well.

 

[LolaMoon08]

I think they have the right to hire an attorney even though most innocent people would not feel the need for one. I think they originally hired an attorney because they were thinking to eventually sue LE or anyone else who defamed their precious "Mother of the Year." I also wouldn't put it past them to sue for all the damage and taken property during their search warrants. Now that Caylee's remains have been found (less than half a mile from their home) they have no grounds. Add that Cindy on numerous of her press briefings she said LE could come anytime and turn their home upside down... so, she basically gave permission.

I now think they feel the need for an attorney because they really think that they could face criminal charges. Obstruction of Justice and Tampering are two that I can think of off the top of my head. They also can face perjury charges if they lie on stand at the trial. I really think they want immunity because they have all intentions of doing just that... lying on the stand.

Cindy and George are most likely not very high on LE's Christmas card list right now. They have done everything in their power to try and get people to view them and their daughter as victims in a huge plot to set Casey up. I mean... they have no evidence, right?? Science is just that... Science!! George told us that that wasn't his granddaughters body in that trunk!! (whose was it then, George?). :bang:

 

[madeleine]

What can you charge them with? Being bad parents?

Nope,for lying to the feds.

ETA:Imo.I think CA did

 

[LucyLu]

Nope,for lying to the feds.

ETA:Imo.I think CA did

I've heard them change stories i.e. pizza smell vs. corpse but that wold not be proven as a dead-pan lie. What would be?

 

[rch85]

I'm still not sure what I think. The request for immunity and promising to not mislead LE or whatever that comment was makes me question them. However, I've always felt GA was more innocent than CA. Maybe the immunity request is more so to cover CA, it would have been really questionable if the request was made for just one of them. I constantly flip back and forth....so yeah, still no idea.

 

[TxLady2]

Their attorney is the one who requested immunity, and it is standard procedure for defense attornies to do this, according to Greta.
As for charging them with OJ or tampering, that is up to LE... but I heard some TH's say that they have to prove intent, and that might be hard to do. If their attorney is good enough, he can explain every one of these allegations.
IMO, I don't know that the OCSO has that much interest in charging them right now. When asked by various reporters, their answer so far has been, "not at this time" or something similar. So thinking logically, if the Anthonys have actually commited such serious crimes... why are the LE sitting and waiting? What is the purpose of holding off?
Since Sheriff Beary is retiring soon... wouldn't you think he would want to wrap this case up and tie it with a pretty bow? I can't see him leaving loose ends for the next guy to deal with, but that's just me.

 

[whiteangora]

IIRC, he was hired by KFN to represent the A's at a reduced price.

Nejame was hired by NLHF - Never Lose Hope Foundation, another non profit, similar to KFN, but they have exotic car raffles with no apparent winners and quite possibly some phone sex connections, and more shady people at their helm.

[SWEETSPYRIT]

When the poll "Should the Anthony's" be charged first appeared, I had mixed emotions - but, reading back thru the entire case - my bottom line reaction was How in the heck do you get away with lying to the FBI?????? I have a real problem with that. I watched the FBI vidoes and it still just amazes me. With the body language and "made" up stories from Cindy - I am completely mind boggled. And to have outright lie to local law enforcement and then to FBI. I have to say I think they should be charged. I was raised that the "truth can hurt but lies will kill you" and if it were my daughter in this same position - and this is not "throwing her under the bus" but, THE TRUTH regardless. Cindy and George knew from the get go what (for the most part) happened. The truth will set you free.

----Providing assistance to a family member after the commission of a crime----

Florida’s statutory exemption for family members: It forbids prosecution of spouses, parents, grandparents, children, or grandchildren for helping an “offender avoid or escape detection, arrest or punishment,” with one important exception. The exemption does not apply if the primary offender is alleged to have committed child abuse or neglect or the murder of a child under the age of 18, “unless the court finds the person [claiming the exemption] is a victim of domestic violence.”


http://www.flsenate.gov/statutes/index.cfm?App_Mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=Ch0777/Sec03.htm&StatuteYear=2004

It's an exception in the law for a reason...so I ask, what good is it if it isn't upheld? waste, huge waste is what it would be!
