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.

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.
