B]I will probably have daggers thrown my way for this post... but, I feel it needs to be said ~ [/B]
My emotional mind is appalled at the anger the A's displayed... HOWEVER~ They DID NOT MURDER their darling grand-daughter. so much hatred is spewed their way. ( close to what Casey receives IMO..)
My logical mind ~ I believe their anger stems from this: In no way do THEY want to be responsible for putting their daughter away for murder. I don't care what anyone else thinks about this... THEY don't want to be responsible for it. PERIOD.
They won't be responsible if they only tell the truth. Actually, telling the truth would be a lot easier because they would be doing what's right by both of them (Caylee and Casey) By lying to cover Casey, they are dishonoring Caylee - even if Casey didn't do it, they owe it to Caylee to tell the truth.
They are mad because they have to make statements in a deposition for what THEY believe is a frivolous defamation case... BEFORE the murder trial. ( which I bet can be used against Casey in the murder trial (??) ). We may not like it.. but I definately don't think they deserve the hatred they are given for staying with their daughter in this.
I agree - simply staying with their daughter is not deserving of hatred. However, the juevenile behavior and disrespect for the law with their outright lies is what's inspiring the hatred.
How can any of us know what this contridiction can mean... losing your grand-daughter .. due to your daughter. It has to make you crazy.
According to them, they don't believe it's their daughter so they can't use this excuse. And we can't use it to justify their behavior.
I AM NOT SAYING they should hide anything.. however, I believe the line of questioning was out of line for a defamation case. If this were the murder trial I WOULD HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT OPINION.
Wrong - an affirmative defense to defamation is the truth. If you are the plaintiff you win in part by showing that it's not true. KC and company are still maintaining the story that ZFG took Caylee. KC refuses to admit publicly that this isn't the one. That means, they have to show that KC is lying, and to do that, they have to try to solve the murder and find out who really did it. In turn, they have to ask a lot of murder related questions. Also, as the attorney said not every question in a depo has to be directly relevant, it must merely lead to the discovery of relative evidence.
They are treated horribly in the media, and having watched a friend who's daughter killed her husband.. I know first hand the pain between your loss & the love for a daughter.
Did that friend refuse to admit that the daughter had anything to do with the murder? Did the friend blame LE and the media and accuse them of lying about everything? Did the friend get on the stand and perjur herself to protect the daughter? Did the friend obstruct justice by hiding evidence and then try to throw all the daughters friends under the bus and blame them for the murder? This is a different situation entirely.
The burden that has fallen on these two is unimaginable and I think someone needs to address the fact that they are on the hot coals... not Casey, where it truly belongs.
If they would just be honest, the public sympathy would be with them. Unfortunately this is not the case.
I say cut them a LITTLE slack. It was a defamation case... not THE murder trial. They DO believe Casey for whatever reason they HAVE to. We may not like it.. but THEY DID NOT KILL THAT BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL...
But they are covering for the one who did. That's just as bad in my book.
They State does not need them to convict Casey.. I say for now.. until trial ..leave them alone in their pain.
I agree - I think we all need to ignore them. Cindy clearly feeds on the attention. However, we cannot avoid the fact that they play a very big part in this case.
IMO of course...
