I'm on a quick coffee break - hi Aedyrs :seeya:
Great to see you back if only for a short period of time. Was shocked you werent here for the South Park adventure that A_News_junkie held or is still holding..:floorlaugh:
Okay so I have a question for you and all of you re George coming out to deny what Baez is saying FCA has said about molesting them both.
We know he has denied this both in court and via his lawyer. So based on this - what do people think he should do? I ask that question respectfully.
I mean - what exactly - how should he do that? Would we suggest appearing on local media in a newspot? Appearing on a selected shows like Baez is doing? Appear on a show with Baez and duke it out?
I'd really like posters to have a think about this and post - I'm interested - but really do a blow by blow and advance it in the future.
And lastly, how do you think he would be perceived by the public, especially right now, since most anti-FCA folks don't support him and the pro-FCA folks hate him? And what would be the final result he would get?
And one more thing - who thinks Baez is trying to draw him out to do that very thing? Thanks y'all - will be watching with interest.
Edited to add: I've been wondering the same thing but everytime I try to play it forward - I just cringe and stop in my tracks...
I think George is pretty much damned in much of society's eyes no matter what he does. If he calls FOUL, they will say he's a liar. If he does nothing, they will say that's proof of his guilt.
I do not believe George molested Casey (and of course not Caylee) but I think his past behaviors (during the investigation, the depos, etc.) did nothing but turn people against him to the point where I am unable to see a way in which his reputation could be resurrected. People who despise Casey will always hate George for not doing all he should have for justice for Caylee, and that hatred will help *convince* a number of those people that George is probably a pedophile. People who sympathize with Casey will always believe George molested her.
I suppose someone will think of something that might help George effectively explain his actions and words of the past. I know what I would LIKE to see George do, but I can come up with nothing that would actually benefit him.
Regarding Baez's vicious and continuing attacks on George, I am appalled by it and I believe something sinister is going on with that--that possibly Baez is hoping for some kind of confrontation with George or worse, he's hoping to drive George to doing something drastic. If it happens, things could get even uglier than they are now. And possibly that could backfire on Baez and Casey, but I fear it would also serve to make George fair game once again in the eyes of many.
As things stand, and have stood for awhile, this is a no-win for George, IMO.
