I'm fascinated by that girl. I watch a lot of court tv (tru tv) because I'm a retired lawyer, but I've never been this interested in a case.
I believe it was premeditated murder given the duct tape. But the lies and her detached demeanor are consistent with having been sexually abused as a child. I'm thinking there may be something to the allegation. I really feel sorry for Cindy.
I look at the contempt and disrespect and outright hatred that crosses Casey Anthony's face when her parents are on the stand, and I just cannot believe that if she would sit in jail for 3 years, willfully putting herself through a trial where she could end up on death row, if her parents knew or helped her with Caylee's body. I just cannot believe that to be true. She's throwing them under the bus now, and I think if there was an inkling of truth to her claims, she would have spared herself long, long before opening statements. She doesn't care about anything or anyone other than herself, not her friends and certainly not her family. If during the first hours of the investigation she could have cast suspicious from herself onto her father, she would have gleefully done so, it's her nature. This is Baez 'hail Mary' play. These claims are nothing more than something Casey cooked up in her cell when Baez said "give me something to work with here" and she had nothing. George put himself under fire, because unlike Cindy, he wasn't the 'first responder', he tried to kill him....he was an easy target.
I think Casey is a pathological liar. Period. She created an entire network of people whom don't exist, a job that doesn't exist, spent money she didn't have, and lived this "bella vita" until she couldn't anymore. She tested, apparently, "sane"...meaning she's not a psychopath. I think, in the world we live, we're really comfortable with diagnosis's, we don't run from labels...we fear what we cannot label more. If the tests had shown her as a schizophrenic, we would have all collectively nodded in solace. But that's the not the case, I think, at the root of it all, Casey is just evil, classically narcissistic. She may feel like everyone else has the problem, but if she cared even in the slightest, that would be evident...and it's not there at all.
My guess is that Caylee was getting older. At 3 years old, Caylee would have been able to verbally express Casey's "parenting" style...
Mommy doesn't go to work, who is Zanny...it was getting to the point where Casey would have either had to stand up and be the parent/bread winner she pretended to be, or she would have had to own her shortcomings. She wasn't prepared or willing to do either. The social circle she was running in wasn't showing signs of stopping or slowing down...they were young kids ready to party, not parent. The men she associated with were going to school to be club promoters. She wanted that life for herself and to be part of that, she wasn't prepared for motherhood. When Caylee was a baby, it was easier to pull off the balance, but those days were winding down. She made a decision. Maybe not consciously and maybe not right away, which is why the computer searches were months prior. But the seed was planted and it grew and grew. What happened from there, only two people know--one is dead, one isn't being honest. But a mother who loves their child, no matter what life that mother came from herself, does not hole up in bed with a boyfriend, go on shopping sprees, enter hot-body-contests, and act like they don't have a care in world when that baby is dead accidentally or missing. They do not throw their baby in a wooded lot or wrap it her up in duct tape and laundry bags and let her decompose in the trunk of their car. That, there is no excuse for.
My heart breaks for Cindy Anthony. There was a while there, when she was the staunch supporter of Casey and unwilling to budge, that she made me very angry. But today I saw her differently, and I got it. Her whole life has blown up, everyone she loves has been publicly crucified, her beautiful granddaughter murdered. She lost her grandbaby and didn't want to lose her daughter. I understand that, it's her whole world. And I think today was her onus, where she is staying as close to the truth as possible, knowing the full well what the consequences of this may be. It must be killing her.
