The Anthonys on The Early Show: Part 2
Read moreWhen I watch the video above, I don’t see any indications of deceit. George is truly proud of his daughter when he speaks about her.
I also believe the Anthonys when they say they just don’t know what Casey was thinking, and that they still have questions. That makes sense. Casey likely has refused to answer questions. She probably has used excuses like she fears her conversations will be released to the media, she’s still afraid of what “these people” might do to her parents, she’s too stressed out to talk, and if the Anthonys have pressured her, I am sure she has threatened them on some level.
There was one interesting slip that Cindy made that was notable here:
RODRIGUEZ: What finally prompted you, Cindy, to call the police?
CINDY ANTHONY: I could sm…when I saw Casey, I could tell something was wrong.
I think she didn’t want to bring up the smell of the car again. That is what truly concerned Cindy, and she has already told us that. Of course, today, she doesn’t want to believe that Casey could have left Caylee in the car, dead and decomposing, and I am sure she doesn’t want to open that can of worms again. She is reminded about it every day, if she turns on her TV.
When Rodriquez ask the Anthonys, “Do you fault her for anything?” I think George’s response is interesting. Watch how he presses his lips together and up. It’s indicative that George is holding back.
Do I think the Anthony’s knew their daughter was a liar? I do, but I don’t think they thought that equated to the potential for murder. There are many pathological liars who never murder.
While people are hard on the Anthonys for standing beside their daughter, I wonder how people would feel if they stood up and threw her under the bus? What would be more outrageous?
I commend the Anthonys on their unconditional love for their daughter. Love doesn’t mean that they approve of her actions, should they come to terms with them. And if I were in Cindy Anthony’s shoes, I would continue to speak publicly in defense of my daughter as well. I think it is all that the Anthonys have left in a very hopeless situation regardless of what they believe is the truth.
