Did George Anthony Sexually Abuse his Daughter?
Yesterday the Casey Anthony defense team dropped a bombshell. Not only did they say that Casey did not kill Caylee, but she didn’t even find nor dispose of her body. Who did? Her father, George Anthony. But it gets worse. Not only did she have nothing to do with the tragedy, but she now claims that she was a victim of sexual abuse.
We had heard about letters that Casey Anthony wrote from jail, but few people gave them any credence at the time because so much of what Casey Anthony said was lies. Do you remember those letters? In a letter to another inmate, Casey wrote after accusing her brother of inappropriate behavior, “I think my Dad used to do the same thing to me, but when I was much younger. I can see him in my room exactly the way it was when I was in elementary school and everything gets fuzzy.”
The words “I think” are important here. Casey doesn’t seem to have any clear memories, which I would expect if she is claiming in court that she was abused by her father. This is a red flag for me.
According to this MSNBC article (link above), Casey allegedly told the police she had intercourse with Lee for three years until she was 15. If her dad abused her, too, why wouldn’t she have said that then? Why would she throw Lee under the bus and not her dad?
In my eyes, Casey is not able to speak the truth and is willing to lie at the drop of the hat, so we have no reason to put any credence in this claim unless we see or hear something that truly gives this claim validity. In watching George, I don’t see any clues that he is lying, but I would like to see him or Casey talk more about this before I draw any final conclusions.
