What will Cindy's Role be in Upcoming Events?

[Patty G]

LOL, I came in and was pleasantly surprised also. But the night is young LOL

:clap:

None of the above.

Cindy will be a minimal player
in the legal proceedings.

She just doesn't have much to offer.
A few helpful statements. I'm basing
this opinion on an interview I listened to
on JVM and it made sense to me.
Said they have plenty without Cindy. (?)

I don't know if she will remain larger
than life in the public's view or not,
but as long as people shift Casey's
blame to her - she may for awhile.
Hopefully she does not become an
iconic figure. That will be up to
the public and media I guess.

I've been pretty outspoken in my views about the A's, particularly Cindy. I was never a fan of hers and thought she took denial to new lows. However, I cannot even begin to imagine what she's going through and wouldn't wish it on anyone. BC has done an excellent job of keeping her away from the cameras or I fear we would be hearing nonstop about KC's "innocence." Even so, when she puts her head down on the pillow every night and turns out the lights there's no way she can sleep peacefully. I shudder to think of what must go through her mind when she's all alone in the dark. I'm so glad I'm not Cindy. Having said that, yes, I do have compassion for her.

But the question doesn't match the topic. What are we after here? Is it me? I have had a bad day.

Hi Bean, The 'recent events' throws the meaning of the title off IMO. Maybe it could have been something like 'How will Cindy react at the trial towards Casey'.


Hi Who_What_When, Thanks for your great post.

When I came into this case, knowing very little, I sensed posters thought Cindy was trying to steer the public away from her daughters possible involvement in the case. Coming from the Madeleine McCann case where the parents did everything they could to appear innocent and yet didn't act like the normal parent would who had lost their child, I saw shades of McCannism's starting to appear in Caylee's case.

Now I don't believe these parents had anything to do with Caylee's murder. They might have reacted in an arrogant manner at times, esp with the press. But I try to put myself in their place. I can not imagine the agony of suspecting or even coming to realize that your daughter might have killed her own little girl and hidden the body. Unfathomable.

I am going to try and keep my mind open to giving the 'A's some grace. They have had to deal with allot thru the process. This is one case where most TH's I have heard say is almost a done deal for conviction of Casey. The 'A's still have a long road to go. And if they made some mistakes, their obvious love for little Caylee should show in their stead.

She will either be key for the prosecution if they choose to use her, if she takes a deal to save herself.

or,

She will not play an active role-but if she thinks that Baez and KC are going to let her off, she is mistaken. I'm sure Baez will use emotional abuse or whatever to try to explain his client's behavior away. KC will be a victim of CA by the time Baez is done (I by no means think KC is a victim, she could have moved out b/f she became pregnant).

I have to say that I was surprised to see this thread. It's refreshing and great to see that there are people out there who do have compassion for others and can see what this family has gone through. I’ve really began to lose faith in society after seeing how some of the public were attacking them. I have posted before, that no matter what transpired with this family they have gone through hell and after this is long over for all of us and we move onto another story in the news and go through our daily lives, they will have to live the rest of their lives with the pain of losing their granddaughter, having their daughter accused of murder and knowing that every bit of their lives have been ridiculed and scrutinize by complete strangers. Although I do agree that they didn’t always use their best judgment and may have even hindered the case against Casey at times, I believe everything they did was out of love for their family and the one ounce of hope they had that their daughter didn’t do the horrible crime in which she is accused.

I’ve never felt that they were involved in Caylee’s death and I believe they will continue to support Casey although they in their hearts that she is to blame. I only hope that one day they will be able to find a way to live through the pain of everything they lost as well as the stigma that will probably follow them forever.

This of course is my opinion and like everyone else I am entitled to it, this is not to say that I think someone else is wrong for feeling the way they do.

I believe Cindy will be on the side of the SA and I do not think she needs to make a deal to save herself IMO This part is MO not the above posters.

Hi to you too!!! I agree. I'm not saying I think their actions were the smartest or even good at times, but I have to think they weren't & aren't in their "right" mind to even care how they were preceived. I think they had two goals in all of this, one to find their grandaughter alive and two, to keep their family together. It has to be crushing to them to lose both. This is why I think they will still stand by Casey because they have nothing left, but I have no doubt (no matter what they say in the public) that in their hearts they know the truth about their daughter. We have to remember that it was Casey who did all of this including tearing her family apart with all her lies and actions. I hope to god that one day she realizes the pain and hurt she has caused everyone around her. Unfortunately I don't think she ever will.

It appears that Cindy worked hard to try and provide a good life for her family, while KC seemed to take advantage of those around her. Hopefully during the trial the correct information will become apparent. I do feel for Cindy because she has a large burden now, with George recovering and KC to worry about, and the loss of Caylee. It would seem too much for anyone to take, and I hope she has some support.

Me too !

 

[cyberborg]

I heard she's in Tampa right now. She probably wants to be with family, and since Lee is there and the only one she can visit right now, I would assume that's the reason why.

Going to the Superbowl with JB and GR.

You never known she might be going with her son.

[costalpilot]

.....Cindy has been so maligned for no reason other than being a caring grandma.

What do you think will happen with her, now, and for the trial?

my bold

THIS IS SOOOO WRONG



:furious:

THE D WILL never call her because of her many lies


imo, she'll be sitting in court blowing kisses at the killer and that will be all she will do.

 

[Short_Stuff]

I dont think the prosecution is going to depend on her much, other than the tapes. And I think she will stand by KC is my answer, but not till the big court case (s)

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I think Cindy will end up being a Hostile Witness for the Prosecution. She will be trying to control the courtroom at trial and the Judge will have his hands full. Her lies and deceit will finally be called up and she will have to answer for them. It won't be pretty when they are finished with her, imo, as I do not expect the SA to coddle her. She will still be trying to cover for Casey and pretending she is innocent. (I expect charges to be brought against Cindy.)

 

[LaLaw2000]

Cindy is on the Prosecution's Witness List, so I think Cindy will have to testify, then the Defense will cross examine, and then she will be sitting the rest of the trial to support Casey.

IMO, Cindy has lied and misrepresented almost everything she has said and has obstructed justice, IMO. However, as a fellow human being, I have to say that she has and will go through literal h3ll. She has lost her granddaughter to murder and will lose her daughter to prison, so I do have some compassion for anyone in that circumstance. I do hope that Cindy will not give any more interviews until after the trial. I am trying so hard to hold onto what little compassion I do have for her.

 

[bookworm474]

Isn't there a concept between guilty and innocence. Normally people fit somewhere in the middle being ignorant, fallible, scared, stressed, broken, delusional, dependent, insecure, unaware, desperate, and hurt. I know we are talking about behavior and communication. Humans are human and very few are saints and heroes. Strong drives have since the beginning of time made people do the dumbest things. When this is all over it is better that the Anthonys build relationships that were better than before and just realize that it is possible. Is it necessary that Casey loose her parents? It is up to Casey eventually.
