Cindy's actions have never been in the best interest of Casey. LE told George and Cindy if Cindy did not STOP what she was doing it was going to be bad for Casey, you know the daughter she loves so much...and it was going to make it so Caylee would never be found. Let me repeat that, LE told Cindy Anthony and George Anthony that if CINDY continued behaving in the manner that she had been that it was going to cause TERRIBLE consequences and she did not stop.
It is being said that those who feel what Cindy has done is wrong, the lying is just the icing on the cake- are being "cruel" or do not have sympathy-so to me it is a case of blaming the messenger. :twocents:

I think that you meant to say in the best interest of Caylee, but I got it. I agree with everything you said...and I have been feeling exactly like you do for years...
Something changed inside of me during this trial. Especially when we found out about the dead pets, and now I am convinced that ICA killed the Mama and Baby Cockers that died within 6 months of each other. Call it an epiphany if you will, but I feel like that bit of info made me think about how crazy life with Casey had to be, and what this family has been dealing with most likely for many years.
I make no excuses for CA or GA...especially in light of the VENOM that CA spewed towards so many people innocent in this mess, in the effort to deflect attention away from her daughter. Quite frankly, I wish CA WOULD be charged with something, be it perjury, obstruction of justice, tampering with evidence, accessory after the fact even. Because there is no doubt in my mind that CA KNEW Caylee was dead at the time she put that posting on Myspace. The confirmation of her worst fears came when they got the car back.
I believe that CA has been cleaning up ICA's messes for so many years that it is a conditioned response for her. And GA goes along with the program because he lost his manhood years ago to CA and ICA. CA could not face the fact that ICA is what she is, even though it was there, right in front of her for all these years, IMO. At some point CA made the decision that if the family continued to pretend that ICA was normal, that somehow, she would be. Talk about 'magical thinking'? CA knows it all too well. One thing that troubles me is that as far as I know the family never sought any type of mental health help for ICA, even though it was very evident to the extended family that ICA had A LOT of problems.
Personally, I have backed off of judging them too harshly because it is now apparent to me that this family has been victimized by ICA for years. I don't know what it is like to live with a sociopath in my family, let alone one of my children. I feel like GA has finally seen the light, but CA is still in that crazy state between knowing what ICA is, as opposed to what she wants her to be. I pray for these people, I really do, because I believe that they probably really WERE the all-American family at one point, until the full tilt boogie crazy set in. IMO, the dysfunction is probably due to living for years with a sociopath and not the other way around.
All of THAT being said, I really hope that ALL of the innocent people whose names have been smeared throughout this sue the pants off of them, so that they never make a dime off of Caylee's death. JMO...:twocents:
