Everyone has a right to privacy.
However, the Anthony's were not worried about privacy when they went on Larry King Live the night before Caylee's remains were found.
I will never forget that broadcast. Both George and Cindy brought the case into our lives and laid it in our laps. And both lied about the smell in the car's trunk, insisting it was rotting food. We all watched while their initial story changed right before our eyes.
Televising the memorial is a very poor decision. I will not watch it. It's a public event held to honor Caylee. In no way does showing it on television add to that objective. I believe showing the memorial is another ploy by Casey's family to buy sympathy for her or influence the public.
Their attorney should stay off the air and stop reminding us to give the Anthony's privacy. Everytime he appears we are reminded of the case.

I agree with all you've said, but especially the LK comment. OMG. what colossal balls, to go on national TV and lie, not just once, but several times...out and out TRANSPARENT LIES, which they had to know would be recognized as lies by anyone with a cursory knowledge of the tragedy.I'm paraphrasing here but: Cindy said, our investigators are finding out that everything KC said was true.
Of course, no "investigator" in the world could conjure up a ZG or a connection to her. No investigator could make any truth out of KA's many lies to LE when she was first interviewed. No investigator could turn KA's wantonness after she killed Caylee into an INVESTIGATION. No investigator could erase the intense pain and fear from Cindy's face when she faced KA in those horrific jailhouse interviews.
Yet there they are, on national TV, lying as if they had some secret knowing, as if they didn't know their daughter for what she is.......a baby killer, slayer of their darling granddaughter.
I have not understood how they could do that until this moment, as I picture CA's desperate face when she haltingly and fearfully confronted her jailed daughter killer. I believe it was then that CA realized the horrible truth: this daughter, this thing they themselves had brought forth, had brought death and destruction unto their dearest treasure.
And that is why they were able to do all they did afterwards. The Horror was too much. CA cracked, then broke with the knowing. George unhinged much later, of course, and was rendered helpless, ending up in a seedy motel room with beer and pills and dark mutterings. He, clearly, isn't as strong as his wife, nor as intuitive. Oh he knew early on, but he told the detectives ," I don't want to believe ". So he didn't, not then, not until the bones had been unearthed and discovered.
But Cindy knew the horror right then, in that cold jail, when she begged it for that babies life, and it responded with her greatest fear, " Mother!", and that broke her. It caused her to do unbelievable things, such as lying on national TV , where the lie could not hold. When the horror broke her, it made her its own, right then and there, and she became its warrior, its defender, its champion.
Now, for the first time, I feel for her.
