Cindy Anthony Says She Searched for Chlorophyll

Cindy Anthony took the stand today, a day after her attorney, Mark Lippman told CNN that the Anthony’s don’t believe their daughter is innocent, and what she said was surprising.

Cindy claims that she is the one who did searches on the computer for Chlorophyll, which ultimately lead to chloroform, and other searches.  Her excuse is that her little Yorkie wast acting sluggish and she wondered if it was due to the bamboo in her yard.  Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants.

Do I believe Cindy?

Absolutely not.  Here are my thoughts:

  1. Cindy Anthony truly believed in her daughter’s innocence for months and years (as she was in a state of serious denial) and when the searches came out, she would have come forward with this then, but she didn’t. This is a big, big clue.
  2. Cindy’s demeanor is very different in her testimony today than it has been in the past. Cindy has always been very calm during her testimony, and not nervous, but today, she is palpably nervous.  It is a notable change from her baseline behavior.  She swallows awkwardly, is breathing heavier and is more labored in her breathing. Why the notable change?
  3. Her excuses for why she searched for these sound ridiculous.
  4. Would Cindy have a motive to lie?  Absolutely.  Her daughter is facing death, and she has to live with the fact that she is the one who turned her into the police, and that call may ultimately lead to Casey’s death.  No mother wants to witness their child die — especially by the death penalty.
  5. Cindy Anthony, according to reports I have read, never mentioned this before in her depositions. She absolutely would have, if this was true.  Why is this the first time we are hearing it?
  6. Reports are saying that Cindy Anthony was at work during the time the searches were committed, though she says she left early.

I do not believe Cindy Anthony.  These are one-in-a-million odds that are so far fetched, the potential this is true are slim to none. I think the majority of people will see this. You don’t need eyes for lies.
