Dr. Phil: The Anthony’s Part 3

I watched part 3 of Dr. Phil interviewing George and Cindy Anthony yesterday, and it only confirmed my original thoughts on this case.

I do not believe George in any way molested his daughter. I agree with Cindy if he had done it, Casey would have brought it up long before the trial when it would have benefited her to keep her dad away. She also wouldn’t have relied as heavily as she did on George to babysit Caylee. I feel for George.

I also never believed that George had an affair with Krystal Holloway. What is so amazing is that both Krystal and Casey have track records of dishonesty, and its amazing people doubt George. He give zero indications of deception about these incidents.

Cindy seems to have convinced herself that she searched for chlorophyll, and I don’t buy that, but Cindy is superb at creating an alternate reality when she can’t accept the truth, sadly. It’s not surprising.

I always said from day one that I did not believe the Anthonys knew what their daughter did, and I still believe that today.

Here are some of my thoughts on this case:

Did George Anthony sexually abuse his daughter (on the stand review)?
Did George Anthony have an affair?
Cindy Anthony says she searched for Chlorophyll

Cindy and George Anthony on Dr. Phil

Having watched the Anthonys on Dr. Phil, I still stand strong in the opinions I have always had from day one.  I believe that Cindy did not have any inkling about what Casey did to Caylee.  I believe her when she says she thought Casey was keeping Caylee from her because Casey was jealous that she loved Caylee.  I believe Cindy and George that George was not there the morning Caylee was killed or died.

And Dr. Phil sees it like I have said along:  Cindy is in denial. There is no doubt about that. Cindy Anthony clearly has denial problems and was an enabler, but it could be her mechanism of survival. Denial is not always a conscience decision, or willful deception. I wish people could understand this. Is Cindy trying to minimize Casey’s behaviors? Absolutely. Is she unable to accept the truth? Absolutely. Is what she says about Casey ridiculous? Absolutely, but does it mean she is purposefully trying to deceive people? No. Cindy is in true clinical denial.

Most people, Cindy included, wouldn’t cope knowing they produced a psychopath.

More Previews of the Anthony with Dr. Phil

Fox news is also reporting that Cindy Anthony is going to say that Casey Anthony had seizure disorder that may have contributed to Caylee’s death. I find that ridiculous, but denial makes people say ridiculous stuff! 

Check back later this week for my thoughts on this case!

A Preview of the Dr. Phil Show with the Anthonys

Dr. Phil will be airing his interview with Cindy and George Anthony on September 12, 2011. In this clip, it shows him asking them tough questions.

The question I am sure everyone wants to know is has Cindy finally come out of her denial, and is she seeing things clearly? With the fact that Casey walked free, I think the odds of her embracing the truth are the lowest ever. With Casey’s verdict, Cindy has more to hold on than ever to shield her from the reality that her own flesh and blood could kill, but it will be interesting to watch nonetheless.

Human behavior is endlessly fascinating to me.

Anthony Jury Ignored Casey’s Defense: Outrageous!

Having listened to Jennifer Ford and her arguments as to why Casey wasn’t convicted, I am in shock!  This jury was so boons-waggled with Baez red herrings, they couldn’t think straight! I am floored.

Ford, if you want my opinion, is clearly a staunch person with strong opinions.  She truly feels the prosecution had no case whatsoever except to show that Casey Anthony behaved badly.  We hear her give us one of the arguments that convinced this jury to vote to acquit, “If you are going to charge someone with murder, don’t you have to know how they killed someone or why they killed someone?”

That’s a fascinating question, and if I were on a jury, I would have retorted back equally staunch by saying show me the law that says that no motive, no known cause of death equals acquittal.  To me those elements have no involvement in our decision if Casey Anthony is involved.  Bear with me a minute.

Let’s listen to Casey Anthony’s defense.  This is paramount!!

We are all in agreement that she hired Jose Baez to give her side of the story, correct?  Her defense, what Casey wants us to believe, is that she was home with her dad when her daughter went into the pool and drowned. She wants us to believe that her dad found Caylee, and that she allowed him to take the body and do an elaborate cover up.  She willfully and intentionally went along with that cover up.  That is what the defense is telling us, correct?

Why would we disbelief this as a starting point? Is there any reason?  While I don’t necessarily believe this is the whole truth, this is Casey’s story. This is what she is confessing to at a minimum.   This should be the starting point of what she is guilty of…or she wouldn’t admit to some involvement, if she had none. 

Next, if the prosecution argues that this was first or second degree murder, we can move up from there if we feel the evidence is substantial. I would argue that duct tape on the body supports that this was more than a simple drowning. Now we have Casey admitting involvement, and we have the duct tape found on the body… Where does that leave us? 

Is there still reasonable doubt of her involvement?

This jury failed to think critically, to even listen to what Casey Anthony hired her attorney to tell the jurors directly.  How stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that the jurors discounted what Casey said, that she admitted through her attorney that she was involved in an accident, is simply mind-blowing!!!!!
