I voted no. It would be even worse for me if this was someone not related to Cindy. She would still be breaking the law to cover for Casey, and probably doing everything she could to make the victim's family seem like nothing better than DIRT, and probably that that person who was killed deserved to die, but not by Casey's hand. It would not be more okay for her break the law to save Casey if the victim was someone outside the family. I've seen other cases where parents don't want to believe their child did it, but never have I seen any family go to the length Cindy has gone for Casey. All victims deserve respect, honor, and dignity, and Cindy does not have any of that for anyone outside the family right now, and would have even less if the victim here were someone not related to her.
We've seen how she's treated every other person not the A family. It would be an all out war if the victim wasn't related to her. We think she's bad now, I cannot imagine the lengths she would go to if the victim wasn't related to her. Caylee being her granddaughter keeps the nastiness to a certain level for two reasons: Cindy's family has to be perfect, and she actually loved Caylee.
Cindy believes her family is perfect, so she's not going to put down her own family to save Casey. But you better believe if this victim was someone else's child, she would be tearing that family apart limb from limb to save Casey. Look at how she's torn apart Casey's former friends, tried to blame every single one of them for what happened to Caylee. Cindy's motto is that if it's not the Anthony family, it's not perfect and not acceptable. It's the A family versus the world. If the victim wasn't Caylee, then God help that poor victim's family since they would be object of Cindy's rage and in her narcissistic mind, it's better that they suffer and be torn apart than her perfect Casey.
The victim being Caylee also affects Cindy because Cindy actually loved Caylee. This has put a sort of restraint on Cindy, maybe even caused her to be mentally ill. I can just imagine the campaign Cindy would launch to protect her own if the victim was not related to her family. Think about how she would rationalize the situation if it wasn't Caylee dead here. She would have no restraint on herself, no reason to stay quiet, no mental impairment to hold her back, and we would really see how ugly and vicious this woman really is. Since Caylee is the victim here, I think we're seeing Cindy pulling herself apart and putting herself back together constantly because she can't handle that Casey would kill her own blood. That is so against the perfect family image she has built over the years that she cannot accept it. Can we imagine how she would be if the victim was someone she didn't know and didn't love at all? Can we imagine the venom spewed if she didn't care about the victim in any way, shape, or form?
No, Caylee's death does make this bad in many ways, but a victim not of Cindy's own blood would be even worse. I would be even more disgusted by Cindy if this wasn't Caylee dead, but some innocent person outside of the family. No one deserves to be the target of this narcissistic woman's wrath and willingless to break the law to protect her own sociopathic and narcissistic child at all costs. I will never understand her throwing away Caylee for Casey, and I will never understand or sympathize with Cindy at all, no matter who Casey would have chosen to murder.
