George Anthony on the Stand
George Anthony took the stand today in the trail of Casey Anthony. The defense claims that Caylee died as a result of an accident, and that George is the one who found Caylee dead in the family pool and disposed of Caylee’s body–not Casey.
When I watch George respond to this claim, I see intense anger. George is using every ounce of willpower he has not to haul off and deck someone or something, and I certainly can’t blame him. It makes absolute sense for an honest man. Anger is the most predominant emotion displayed by George in this video second to sadness. Not only that, but the anger and sadness we see are very authentic.
I find the claims made by the defense to be absolutely ridiculous. Furthermore, I have read that Jose Baez claims that George Anthony molested his daughter, Casey. If you find video footage of George answering that claim, let me know and I will look at it.
In this clip, George is asked, “Were you present in your home when Caylee Anthony died?”
If you watch George, he shakes his head no, which is natural and consistent with what he says. The tension in his face is a result of the anger and outrage that he is feeling. It’s palpable. He feels like punching a wall, if you ask me, and this makes sense. George shows sadness and flashes of anger when he says, “No, because if I had known something happened to Caylee, we wouldn’t be here today.” He is so authentic, his response and behavior is 10 out of 10 authentic. I believe George Anthony 100%, and I have from day one.
After this, Casey shakes her head in disbelief, which is interesting to me. Either she is acting or she has convinced herself of her lies, which is possible after all of this time. I don’t know which it is. Many pathological liars are often successful because in time they do believe their lies.
George is asked, “Did you dispose of the body?” When George replies, “No I did not” he shows anger again, but this time, he grits his teeth to fight off tears. He is on the verge of tears starting at 1:12-1:13.
When George is asked if he had any prior knowledge that Caylee Anthony died June 16, 2008 prior to recent revelations, he displays intense anger again. He pulls his lips in, and he extends his lower jaw. He is so upset and mad that he controls his speech to say what he needs to say. My heart goes out to him. This man has lived through hell and back at his daughter’s expense.
