Dr Phil w/ George and Cindy Anthony (Show airs 9.13.2011)

[MsMacGyver]

My comment tonite is JVM praising GA for speaking up, how courageous he was today.

IMO...GA is a coward!...Why didn't he speak up 3 years ago..2yrs...1yr...How about 2 months ago. If GA would have said this while he was sitting on the stand he could have been Caylees hero. What good does it do now? Now that it makes no difference he decides to tell some of the truth. How much help do you need to drug a little 3 year old, shifting blame again. The felon did this all by herself...JVM..get a clue, stop kissing behinds for interviews and land on one side of the fence.

Nancy G has Judge Strickland on tonite...The man has a backbone. I'm sure someone will have something negative to say about his appearance but I thought he got his points across just fine.
I still think this is a scam cooked up by the A's..good cop..bad cop to get donations. People might not donate for CA but now GA looks good so maybe people will donate for him. Something smells rotten in Denmark to me.

While watching these interviews - an old Eagles song comes to mind:

"....You can't hide your lyin' eyes (even with bright blue contacts)
and your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes...."

CA hasn't changed and is never going to change and I've come to terms with that.

All jmho

for the 1st time in decades this interview reminded me of a song "the playground in my mind" clint holmes

 

[knt]

Have any of the news shows asked for a comment from Mr. Lippman? I find it weird CA isn't insisting on clarifications, blah, blah, blah....

The last time we heard from him was when he escorted the Pontiac to be crushed. I'm still floating my theory... CA had a siezure and "accidently" pushed him into the car :floorlaugh: Okay, either that or he quit and they agreed not to discuss it publicly.

First - a brain tumor??? KC may have a brain tumor??? Are you kidding me??? Let me tell you about a brain tumor. We just buried my 1 year old granddaughter who had undergone 5 solid months of hell in chemotherapy to try and rid her of a cancerous brain tumor. No, Cindy, KC doesn't have a brain tumor. Your lies offend every sense I possess.

Second - The body is just a shell??? You were attempting to minimize the fact that your daughter threw your grandbaby out like a bag of old dirty garbage. Here's how my granddaughter was treated...After death, her Mommy carried her to St. Jude's morgue after she had held her night and day for weeks. Once the Memphis funeral home had prepared her little body, this Mommy personally dressed her precious baby in preparation for the flight home.

A standing room only crowd came to honor this tiny child and her courageous family and she was given a service fit for the princess that she was. This is how we treated the "shell". Respect for a person's remains has been a long held tradition in most all religions and cultures.

Third - Justice for Caylee was the day KC walked and God sent you a sign that it was an accident. I totally agree with Judge Strickland. The jury set your daughter free - God had nothing to do with it.

Now, you go make your big bucks off of baby Caylee. I'll go visit the cemetery where my grandbaby is resting in love - just as she lived.

All imho.

With tears in my eyes and a broken voice, I read your poignant and heartfelt words to my husband. Please know my prayers are with you and your family. Your beautiful granddaughter is resting in the arms of God and is well and whole. I cannot begin to imagine the heartbreak you and your family are experiencing. This is true grief. This is true love. God bless and keep you and your family in the coming days and weeks.

We didn't get any new information but we did get a chance to see all the work cindy has had done. I bet folks are sooooo happy knowing where their donations are going.

Eye brow lift..possible lid lift..opened up her eyes. They also removed all the creases on the sides and under the eyes. Her mouth/nose crease is gone. Her wrinkled lips are gone. All signs of her excessive sunning are gone.

Just wishing they could have delved deeper...like adjust the temporal lobe, now that would have made her more believable.

 

[miss plum]

I'm glad I didn't watch. This has been even more farcical than I expected. Dr. Phil has achieved nothing and has given CA money she will use to lure the felon home.
GA, I think, tried to tell the truth. But it's too late. When he needed to be clear and direct, in court where it counted, he wasn't. I do think he has been abused, I do feel sorry for him, but he didn't stand up for Caylee and that is what counts here. He was the adult and she was a baby. He didn't sin by commission but he most certainly sinned by omission. His courage failed him and he failed her. If he could admit that, and leave CA and the blood money behind him, and try to live in truth, I could respect him. But so long as he feasts on crab puffs with his eyes glued shut, I can't.

 

[okiedokietoo]

I find it annoying that Dr Phil did not challenge George on this alleged accomplice. I mean who else could it be? It is pretty clear all of the boyfriends, ex boyfriends, friends (the little she had), brother, etc were not involved so George is essentially going around accusing one of them as being involved when there is absolutely no evidence. Casey did this alone and they should accept that... Unless they come to that conclusion in another interview w another "donation"

Coming to grips with the truth is probably done one step at a time imo And GA saying that fca , with help, did something to Caylee - was a big step imo

 

[MissJames]

What Cindy would like us to ignore is the time it takes for those of us left behind to let go of the "shell".
Boots-OK described it beautifully. Regardless of what your beliefs are,it's not that easy for a mother to separate from her child. A mother who loves her child,I should say.
And under NO circumstances could I imagine a mother who loved her child ,tossing that child into the woods after death. It's torture leaving them after they died at the hospital,or the funeral home,and that's knowing the body is just an empty "shell".

Boots,I'll be thinking about you and your family for a very long time. I'm so sorry your grandchild had to endure so much ,but I'm so glad she had a wonderful mother.

 

[runsdeep]

All day I have struggled with sadness and outrage over Cindy's dismissal of Caylee tossed in the swamp because her body is just a "shell". Boots, your post today really said what I have been thinking all day, but couldn't put into words. Respect. Respect and love for the body that held the soul of this innocent child. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your granddaughter is at rest now and her courageous battle is over. I would like to think that Caylee met her at the gates of heaven and took her by the hand to introduce her to all the other angel-babies in heaven. My prayers are with you and your family.

i cannot imagine the horror of seeing a loved one in the state caylee's remains were found. shudder.

Very beautiful post too Nicky, it put tears in my eyes and words to the struggles I have been feeling too along with Boots very moving post.

 

[Marco]

In George's opinion some others may have helped but was probably carried out by KC alone.

 

[Peepers]

Wow is all I can really say. George and Cindy deserve each other. and they deserve KC too.

 

[momtective]

"If Casey is watching this someday — Yes, I think she's responsible for Caylee not being here," George Anthony said.

Cindy Anthony said that while she believes her granddaughter drowned, she didn't believe defense attorney Jose Baez's assertion that George Anthony was there or helped cover up the death. She, too, said she thinks Casey knew where Caylee was buried and that is what upsets her most today.

More at link:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/...20106385.shtml

What should upset her most is that Caylee is dead!
Caylee wasn't buried she was triple bagged and thrown in the swamp to rot! jmo

 

[Whisperer]

The felon never bonded with her child. CA knew that. CA knew kc never worked and let it go, all the while knowing kc was home. It was this lie that she allowed probably in the hope kc would bond with Caylee. CA even went as far as to tuck them in together in the same bed. Nothing worked.

kc never bonded. Anything kc says is just parroting what others have said to described a mother and daughtec , kc should never been left to live her lies. I do blame the parents in that regard, because for all intentional purposes, George and cindy were the parents of Caylee. Kc was the nanny...and that is how she perceived herself. Zanny, the nanny, was casey.

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

During the interview, CA said that she prayed to God during the trial for the answer to what happened to Caylee, and to her the verdict was an answer to her prayers that it was an accident.

CA, if you were leaving it to God to help reveal the truth of what happened, why did you lie under oath?

Earlier in this thread, I posted that I thought that Cindy was "bargaining with G-d". I also think that Cindy is relying on "magical thinking" to help her deal with the reality of a major crisis. Both suggest to me a person who is mentally unstable and unable to cope rationally with overwhelming grief and guilt. In many ways, I'm angry about Cindy's ongoing efforts to defend Casey's behavior, but I'm also sad that Cindy won't seek the services of a caring professional who would help her through this very troubling experience. Until she admits that she needs help in dealing with this life-altering situation, Cindy will never have peace of mind, body, or soul. jmo

 

[okiedokietoo]

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but SERIOUSLY?

Cindy: To me, that was not Caylee, I mean yes it breaks my heart that her body was left there but what were we gonna do anyway? Our belief is for cremation. And Caylee's remains would have been cremated at that time and they were cremated 7 months later.

Dr. Phil: Cindy, you just said; "she shouldn't have put her in the woods but what were we gonna do anyway?" that is excusing this!

What were we going to do anyway? Let's see, for every person that accidentaly died and we threw them in the woods (they are not "placed" - they are DUMPED). Can you imagine what our gardens and forests would look like now?

IMHO - this clearly shows how little respect she has/had for Caylee Marie Anthony. I can only pray that Lee reads this and keeps any future children away from CA. If the next grandchild accidentally dies, I guess we can anticipate that CA would just throw it in the dumpster (because what were we going to do with it anyway).

I really really wished I hadn't heard that. My heart is breaking all over again.

I'm so sorry Caylee that you were so easily disregarded.

My Opinion Only.

Mel

This was the number one most sick and disturbing comment that I heard.
You know how we have discussed how sociopaths see other people as objects - CA talked about Caylee like she was just a "thing" a "shell". Yeal she wrapped the comment with her beliefs - just like fca wrapped Caylee with plastic bags. It was a very sick remark.

BBM - Totally agree, where was his courage during the trial??? Funny how $$$ increases the amount of courage!

 

[Boots-OK]

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. This has been the most heart-breaking journey I've ever taken in my life. These interviews and outlandish statements by CA just couldn't go without comment.

Everything about the A's and Caylee became too painful after KC's verdict....and I had to step away for a time to deal with my personal grief. It makes me ill that these people will profit one red cent from the death of this child. What a travesty. I really have no words.

Thanks again to all of you....

 

[okiedokietoo]

Oh good Lord.
Linda Kenney Baden is on Joy Behar talking about the Dr. Phil interview.
She just said 'it's an unsolved case'.


ETA: They really need to have Bill Schaefer on at the same time to balance out her lunatic ranting.

LKB should shut up and go hide her money because I don't think Roy Kronk is through checking off names on his law suit list.

How precious little girls are. Delicate tiny fingers and toes, soft skin, chubby little rolls, silky curls, that amazing baby scent.... Its a natural instinct to cling to that, to have trouble letting it go. How do you protect and cherish that little body one minute and then think of it as just a useless shell the next minute?I've seen a new side to CA, and it's even worse than I ever imagined.
