Cindy Anthony Clarification

I just want to say that this is a complex case, and with Cindy Anthony talking all the time, I can’t keep up with her. I can only vouch for what I have seen her say. I make sure when I give an opinion that I also provide a video link detailing exactly the comments I am speaking about.

Also, just because I believed Cindy talking on one the video doesn’t mean that I trust her across the board. With all people, I can only vouch for what I have witnessed with my own two eyes.

FURTHERMORE, if Cindy is withholding information, I will not have any way to know that as I am not psychic. I look for clues and indications of deception only. That is my specialty.

Cindy Anthony is showing clear signs of denial. Denial is when one refuses to accept something as true. I don’t consider denial to be deception, but it is a fine line, and another topic all of its own. Many parents show signs of denial when their children are suspected of doing unacceptable things. This is not uncommon.

At this point, and due to all the complexity of this case, I will only state that I believe Cindy Anthony does not know where her granddaughter is. That is all I can say at this point. Is she holding information back? I have no clue.

I will still continue to review videos, and share my thoughts. I am more curious than ever about this case, but I am overwhelmed with the information before me. I could sit and watch Cindy speak all day, but unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of time. I hope you understand and appreciate my clarification.

Please let me also state that I am human, and prone to a mistake now and then. I have a perfect track record for more than three and a half years right now, but I don’t expect to be perfect. I could very well be reading Cindy wrong, though in my heart, at this point, I don’t believe I am. But in the event I am wrong, I will absolutely admit it. I am human, after all, and not machine.

Grandmother Cindy Anthony

Many of you have been e-mailing me and questioning me about what I think when I watch Cindy Anthony, mother of jailed Casey Anthony, and grandmother of missing Caylee Anthony.

Many of you believe she is being dishonest and not genuine.

I have to disagree. When I watch Cindy speak in this video, she is genuine and true. I will review other videos if more questions arise.

She truly is concerned about her granddaughter’s safety. She is moved to tears, and she is choked up. This is not an act.

Cindy is also very scared, but holding herself together. She says she has a gut instinct that Caylee is alive, and I believe her when she says she has that gut instinct. People who are in tune with their intuition can have strong visceral feelings, and I believe Cindy has these.

Maybe Casey told her mother that she believes Caylee is alive, and Cindy is holding on that even with all the lies she has been told. We don’t know what transpired between these two that day.

I suspect that Cindy knows some things that she is not at liberty to say in this investigation publicly, but for the most part, I suspect Cindy is being genuine and truthful with us.

She wants Caylee home as soon as possible.

Ryan Ferguson Seeks New Trial

This week there is a hearing going on for Ryan Ferguson. His attorneys are requesting a new trial because they say due process wasn’t followed, and he had ineffective assistance of counsel.

Ferguson’s defense team is putting forth some interesting information. Several new valuable pieces of information are being presented.

Shawna Ornt (a trib employee) testified that she repeatedly told then-Boone County Prosecutor Kevin Crane that a man she saw near the body was neither Ferguson nor Erickson. She said Crane scared her, and she did not know what she was allowed to say to attorneys or in the trial. So she did not tell anyone else during the trial or the deposition.

“He made me feel like I was wrong,” Ornt said of Crane. And Ornt did not tell Ferguson’s attorney because she didn’t know whether she was allowed to (source below).

Also during the trial, the janitor at the trib, Jerry Trump, pointed to Ferguson and said the man he and Ornt saw was Ferguson. But now the employee, Christine Varner, who got Trump the job is saying something different.

She (Varner) said Trump told her that he was standing in a lit dock area next to the Tribune’s building and roughly 30 feet from Heitholt’s car, and the two people were standing near the car in the dark, so he couldn’t identify them. Varner said after she saw coverage of the trial, where Trump pointed to Ferguson, she contacted the public defender’s office.

“It just bothered me,” she said (source below).

Also, a bouncer at the bar where Chuck Erickson said that he and Ferguson went to after the murder testifies that he has never seen the bar open as late as it would have been according to the testimony of Chuck Erickson.

And there is a more. A man by the name of Ronald Hudson, in the court paperwork, talks about running into a man named Clarence Mabon, who talked about being involved in an incident where a man got killed — in connection to the incident with the newspaper reporter.

Much of the testimony completely contradicts what Chuck Erickson wants us to believe, and gives doubt to the fact Ryan Ferguson was involved.

There is much more developing on this case, and I am thrilled to hear it. I have always believed Ryan Ferguson is innocent, and I have not believed Chuck Erickson’s story either. You can read my original opinion here from February of 2006.

Check out the details for yourself. There is a lot here!
