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.

George and Cindy Anthony were on The Early Show today. It was heart-wrenching listening to them.

Read moreThe one notable element in this video for me was that Cindy is clinging steadfast to the belief that Casey is innocent, but when I watch George, I see indications that lead me to believe that George has come to terms with Casey and Caylee, and the real potential that Casey killed Caylee, but he is unable to share it because either Cindy cannot cope with it, or he doesn’t want to talk publicly about it because it could obviously affect a fair trial for Casey. I get this feeling from the subtle moves George makes when Maggie Rodriquez asks Cindy and George questions about their belief in Casey’s innocence.

RODRIGUEZ: How are you so sure? Why do you say with such conviction that she didn’t do this?

C. ANTHONY: We love our daughter. We stand behind her. We know what kind of mother she was.

RODRIGUEZ: Is it because you love her (ph) daughter that you need to believe this or because you believe unflinchingly that it’s not possible that she did this?

G. ANTHONY: I don’t think it’s possible for my daughter to hurt anyone. And she wouldn’t definitely hurt her own child. I mean, my gosh, I’ve seen the love every single day that she had for her. You know, she took care of her being with us. So, I mean, she wouldn’t hurt her.

George’s answer here also just strikes me as a cover for his real feelings. “I mean”, “my gosh”, and “so I mean” sound like he is trying to convince us of something he doesn’t likely believe. He also shrugs his shoulders several times, which indicates doubt or a lack of conviction for what he is saying. George also seems to be on the verge of breaking down through much of the interview. If he has potentially come to terms with everything, we would expect that he would be very emotional. Cindy, on the other hand, has strength and does seem to get some peace from her beliefs about Casey.

Cindy looks slightly different in this video. Did you notice? There is a heaviness about her here, unlike I have ever seen before. I see it most in her eyes. I wonder if she is facing depression, or if she is just exhausted from a nightmare year. The other potential is that she is on some type of medication to relax her or help her cope with the emotional turmoil in her life.

I can’t imagine being George or Cindy Anthony. I can’t imagine the hell their lives have become. I don’t blame them for what Casey did. I think Casey was a very troubled and difficult woman to deal with, who put George and Cindy in positions that were nearly impossible to deal with. If you’ve never known the fury of a psychopath, you couldn’t possible understand the predicaments psychopaths will put you in. They put you in places where there is no winning solution. I suspect Cindy was ready to kick Casey out and fight for Caylee, and Casey’s ultimate revenge against her mother for that threat was to kill Caylee. How can anyone predict such insane behavior?
