What began as a nation holding their breath praying for the safe return of a toddler has turned into an unbelievable story of a mother who never wanted to be a mother, grandparents who seem more concerned with their daughter not being upset with them, a brother who is so far beyond even trying to figure out, a team of lawyers who I am not sure I would want defending me on a traffic ticket and a group of media who continue to claim they have Breaking News when there is no breaking news…
What happened to the concern of this beautiful little child who will never have the chance to experience life? She was only two and yet she was a pawn in a sick game of control and jealousy between a mother and daughter. She by all accounts seemed happy and healthy. We have seen the videos of her singing and reading, the photos of Christmas and playing in the pool. But what have we not seen?
Although these latest videos that have been released are from August and are from the time when Casey Anthony was only being charged with child neglect, as more and more of the clips are being released my stomach turns with the lack of concern for Caylee. Yes Caylee, do they remember her? Casey wants to be a victim? Cindy wants her to calm down, George wants her to be the boss… Yes the grandparents seem to be on her side, but is it because if they act as though she is their main concern they believe she will give them information? Or is it that she is the person that Lee said in the first interview with police? The princess who rules the house. The one who is coddled and given whatever she wants by her parents? Yes that is what I believe. I believe that they never taught this child discipline or consequences.
The Defense team is not going to be able to change venue and get a fair trial unless they go to some third world country. At this point their best defense would be to throw her to a public defender. Oh but wait they can’t can they? No see they are making hundreds of thousands of dollars off her. I find it funny that people in the news are reporting that the defense team has acquired money many times from media outlets and yet they are shocked. Why are they shocked? Yes supposedly they are working pro bono but seriously, they know there isn’t a chance in hell that they can make this case into something that will explain why a mother took her childs life. So why not gain from this right? They have to make money right?
Supposedly Jose Baez is being considered for a tv show depending on the outcome of this case. WOW! What they didn’t say is what is the outcome that they will give him the show for? The way I see it is Jose Baez is out for himself. I have said this from the beginning. He isn’t going to get her off, he knows that. There is no Nanny, no meter reader that had inside info, there is no one to help free Casey Anthony…
In the end there is still a baby layng in a funeral home while everyone takes care of themselves. It amazes me that Cindy Anthony can email everyone to tell them that they are not invited to the funeral and yet she can’t find the time to make arrangements for that baby? Yes the baby Cindy, the one who you yourself stated was your only concern. You didn’t care about Casey I believe you said and yet you continue to defend her and your granddaughter is still not at peace.
Everyday this case turns more into a circus and the 2 year old who was the focus of this entire investigation is left behind as though she never existed.
AMEN!!
No. Odd as it might appear this is pretrial shinanigans that will be stopped and people who are performing badly will be asked to improve or leave. The DA’s Office is holding its own and should be appaulded for the steady way in which they are proceding. The Defense will smarten up and we might see new faces. No clowns aloud.
Our little victim is quiet and patient.
it definitely is not just You, this Case is a Circus
and the sad Fact is, the Victim Caylee got lost in all that Insanity.
Caylee is still waiting to be buried, while the Lawyers are pickering back and forth. It’s a
Disservice to Caylee who deserves Dignity and Respect and she hasn’t and still doesn’t get that.
that says it all beatifully thank you so much for that great post
Thank you Gloria.
It is a circus. I have to wonder constantly though…….When will George and Cindy do the right thing? As a whole… America is a very forgiving country, but this is just ridiculous behavior from these two people. They can’t be that stupid. It just enrages me that they are “still” believing this sick daughter.
Great Post! I 100% agree!
Has everyone forgot that you are innocent until proven guilty,and if she didn’t do it imagine how you would feel being locked up and unable to search for your child.Everyone has an opinion and are calling her a murderer yet the only facts they have are not facts at all but are the media’s veiw.
Craig: No I haven’t forgotten that. It appears to me that the Anthony’s are the ones who have forgotten that a baby is dead at the hands of her daughter. I have followed this from the beginning and all I know is that there is a baby who is dead and no matter what the media has shown or not shown, it is the mother who has not shown the compassion of a mother who lost her child.
I’m rather new to this case. I’ve read most of the articles and am up to speed about most of the details and timeline. I watched the newly released video and lost count of the I me-me my’s from Casey. She’s complaining about she can’t do anything in her position. My only comment is she was in position during the first thirty days of the child’s disappearance to ask and receive professional help and did not, so no sympathies here!
I do however have much sympathy for George and Cindy. I cannot fathom the emotional turmoil that’s been placed on this couple. Without a doubt it’s far worse than their worst nightmare. I cannot accurately comment on their actions or words during this distress, but I’ve thought about how I would handle things if I were in their shoes. And I’ve decided that I honestly have no idea how my reactions would be. There simply is no reference for comparison. My heart goes out to George and Cindy whose lives and emotions were bushwhacked by unfortunate events in the summer of 2008. In my humble opinion…
craig Correction: Casey did have a Chance to look for her Daughter while she was out on Bail twice plus the 31 Days before her Daughter was even reported missing by Cindy not by Casey.
All that time Casey had the Chance to help find her Daughter but chose instead to do absolutely nothing,
instead she lied to Police and FBI every Chance she had and mislead them whenever given a Chance.
I do not believe Caylee was missing for 31 days before Cindy called LE. I believe she was already dead. That is the reason Casey was not looking for her. She knew exactly where Caylee was. Lying out in the woods like trash!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its become a circus.Caylee is still not even laid to rest and thats the worst of it all.Casey has not showed any emotions towards Caylee from day one.I dont call the way she partied and carried on a mother that cared about there child and she was doing all this when she claimed Caylee was missing..She waited 31 days to even let on Caylee was gone..Craig? What kind of mother does this that cares about her childs well being????If Casey was so innocent she would of NEVER waited an hour let alone 31 days..She brought all this on herself…Sometimes I have wondered if Cindy had not found Casey how long Casey would of continued this…Caylee was found finally laid in the woods in a garbage bag…AND Casey still shows no emotion.As far as I am concerned she is guilty as sin!
Unfortunately we CAN’T stick our heads up our own arses and repeat “everyone is innocent until proven guilty” — and, I agree, that is a luxury that most accused DO deserve. And I wish I could now. Sadly however, in Casey Anthony’s case we would have to be mentally retarded to some degree in order to believe that.
Good point Hilde! Casey did not do ANYTHING to help with the search for her daughter. Unless you call entering “Hot Body Contests” and “Pole Dancing” searching!
It has not become a circus, it always has been. Too sad.
Craig: Are you serious?? You are innocent until proven guilty but that is in a court of law. Based on the facts, and there are a lot even though they have been reported by the media. I agree that if a child goes missing, to jump on the mom and attack her is wrong but this is an entirely different situation. I am not going to go into the facts since there are too many to tell, but answer me this: What mother doesn’t report their child kidnapped? I mean not just to cops, but to anyone? We are all allowed to form and discuss our opinions on her guilt or innocence. So, just because someone didn’t get tried in a court yet doesn’t mean they are innocent.
Awesome Pak! True it always has been a circus. All th innocent until proven guilty posters must not have read the evidence that has been released. Of course it will be interesting to see what hasn’t been released.

Very good post!
Craig
I agree with those above. I do believe Casey is entitled to the best defense this is how it should be for the accused. What I feel about the Casey’s guilt is not from the media but from the documents and interviews. I cannot go into the facts as Pak said there are too many. I also know she is innocent until proven guilty. But, for now there is enough evidence against her to keep her in jail without bond until trial. Then the state will prove there case in court and give Caylee her day. If Casey happens to be innocent I am sure her defense will show reasonable doubt, don’t know how but if it is there they will show it. Yes I also know the defense isn’t supposed to have to show innocents. However, when you have the mountain of evidence and we haven’t seen it all yet, the defense has a lot to overcome.
I have followed this from the beginning. Sometimes it boils down to the simplest of questions. Like in the OJ trial…. Had the prosecution asked some of the neighbors, “how many times have you seen Mr. Simpson (with a 5 car garage), park his vehicle in the street over night…..especially when he’s going away for a weekend?” Maybe the jury could have got that!
In Casey’s case, she claims that someone named Jeffery and (I think it was) Julie are the ones she told about Caley’s disappearance. did that pan out? Did this Jeffery really leave his son with this, so called Nanny too, as she claimed? Never heard an answer to any of that yet. I’d like to know (maybe through Nancy Grace) had anyone…… anyone at all ever met this nanny? I already know that the answer is no!
I feel so sad for the beautiful little girl. I think that the whole thing was over this dysfunctional family and the attention between the granddaughter and grandmother.
Hi Jim:
Actually Jeffrey Hopkins was interviewed and he has never heard of this Nanny. But the kicker is this: While Casey claims that she got the Nanny’s name from Jeff because she watches his daughter, he was quite surprised to hear this because he didn’t have any children… Julia is the other girl that Casey claims that she worked with at Universal and told about Caylees disappearance, there is no such person who has ever worked at Universal. Most of the names that she came up with as far as detectives can tell seem to be names pieced together from the high school yearbook…
In the end I will not be surprised if the entire family is charged with some form of obstruction of justice. Funny, 6 months ago this was all about their grand daughter and doing whatever it takes to find her… Now, they are all scurrying to cover their own butts…
No…it is not just you. It certainly is a circus. At this point I am just praying that soon everything will be known, justice will be served and Caylee will finally be able to rest in peace.
