Did George Anthony have an affair?

George Anthony testified on the stand yesterday, and denied that he had an affair with Krystal Holloway (aka River Cruz). Was he honest or did he lie?

In my opinion, George was being honest. I believe him when he says that Krystal Holloway told him she had a brain tumor and was dying. Krystal Holloway is a self-admitted liar. She also sold a story to the National Enquirer, yet told reporters she was not speaking out to make money–clearly her behavior doesn’t match her words.

In her interview with the Orange County Sheriffs office, Krystal demonstrated a lot of hallmarks of people who are deceptive.

I’d trust George Anthony 1000 times over Krystal Holloway. Click here to read my thoughts on Krystal Holloway.

George’s Alledged Mistress Krystal Holloway: My Thoughts

George Anthony’s alleged mistress, Krystal Holloway, aka “River Cruz”, is quite an interesting person to analyze.  She was in the news in March 2010 when it was reported that she had an affair with George Anthony.  She and her twin sister, Cecelia, spoke out to the media.  You can watch Krystal here.  This video is full of hotspots by both Krystal and her sister, Cecelia, but Krystal didn’t talk about the affair with George. When I originally saw this, I did not believe the sisters story that they were unmotivated by money.

Krystal’s sister, Cecelia, says there is no money motive, and Krystal confirmed it, however, shortly after this, Nancy Grace broke the story that the sisters did do a story with the National Enquirer. Nancy held up the tabloid on her show. Clearly, the article in the Enquirer outed the sisters and it didn’t bode well that Krystal or her sister, are honest women.

Furthermore, I uncovered the transcript of when Krystal Holloway, aka River Cruz, talked to the Orange County Sheriff’s office about what she knew about George Anthony. Krystal talks about her relationship with George and what George supposedly told her about Caylee’s death. 

The investigator says on page 10 asks Krystal, “Did you and George ever become romantically involved?”  Krystal says, “No, we didn’t.”  The investigator confirms this again to which Krystal reiterates the word, “No” a second time.

Krystal’s speech is loaded with a lot of false starts–sentence starts and stops that ultimately go another direction, and she doesn’t give solid statements. She doesn’t answer direct question asked of her and she rambles on about unrelated things–all hallmarks of a less than honest person.

When asked how it all started with George, she says, “… I don’t…I don’t even know how it started.”

She is not a credible person, if you ask me.  The defense would be insane to put her on the stand.  It would be a move of incredible desperation because if I were a prosecutor, I’d shred her to bits.

The investigator asked, “What can you tell me about it [the relationship between Krystal and George]?”

Krystal says, “Well, we would sit and talk for hours, you know, and I would feel bad, and he would tell me about, um, the baby. You know, and how he would sing and talk, you know, and things he would do.”

Krystal talked about how she would visit George’s house and how George thought his house was bugged, but when questioned about it directly, Krystal waffles.

The investigator says, “Did he [George] say the house was bugged, or why did you believe the house was bugged?”

Krystal says, “He didn’t outright say the house was bugged, but I kind of know from his conversation, you know like…”  Krystal stops talking at this point.

Krystal is very evasive in many of her answers. She hits me as someone who takes shreds of the truth and spins it to what she wants to the story to be.  I also wonder if she met the Anthonys on purpose–so she could “sell a story”.

When you look at what Krystal tells the investigators George supposedly said about what happened to Caylee, and that it was an accident–it’s fascinating.

The investigator asks Krystal, “Did he tell you what he thought happened to the child?” (page 16).

Krystal says, “Yeah.”

“What did he say?” asks the investigator.

Krystal says, “He said it was an accident…that went wrong, and it just snowballed. And he said you know how you tell a small lie?  And he just tried to cover it up and it just got really big and was just…it went out of control.”

If you notice, Krystal has no memory of a conversation, like, “George said to me that Casey had an accident, and she lied about it, and I’ve had to cover it up.”   She lacks honest memory recall–actual words spoken– as well as details about what was said specifically, like, “We were talking about Casey, when he said it was an accident and Casey’s lies have spiraled out of control.”  Both of which are big red flags.

The investigator says, “Did he explain it to you?  Did he give you more than that?”  Krystal says no.  Her answer is very suspect–much of what Krystal says is suspect.

But then I believe Krystal admits to the truth when she says, “He…he just said that ‘I really believe it was an accident.'”  That my dear friends is the truth!! 

Why would George want to believe anything else at that point?

If you notice, Krystal has memory recall of actual words said and gives details here, which were missing before.  However, Krystal wants us to believe it was more than that–possibly for fame and fortune.  If you notice, she then finishes that statement with, “And it just went wrong and she tried to cover it up.”

The investigator says, “Did he say to you that Casey had told him it was an accident, or was this something you believed?”

Krystal proves my point when she responds. She says, “He didn’t say that.” [Page 17] Yet she rambles on again trying to convince the investigator.

The woman is clearly not trustworthy!  She shows many hallmarks of a liar and I suspect an opportunist, and Krystal even tells us herself that she is a liar.  On page 19, she says, “I mean, I’ve lied. I’ve done my fair share of things in life that I am not proud of.”

Is this another Krystal?

If Krystal takes the stand, she will be fun to dissect without a doubt, but in my opinion she will be an absolute train wreck.

BTW, Krystal has an arrest record for theft and burglary as well.

I rest my case.

Did George Anthony Sexually Abuse his Daughter?

Yesterday the Casey Anthony defense team dropped a bombshell.  Not only did they say that Casey did not kill Caylee, but she didn’t even find nor dispose of her body.  Who did?  Her father, George Anthony.  But it gets worse.  Not only did she have nothing to do with the tragedy, but she now claims that she was a victim of sexual abuse.

We had heard about letters that Casey Anthony wrote from jail, but few people gave them any credence at the time because so much of what Casey Anthony said was lies.  Do you remember those letters?  In a letter to another inmate, Casey wrote after accusing her brother of inappropriate behavior, “I think my Dad used to do the same thing to me, but when I was much younger.  I can see him in my room exactly the way it was when I was in elementary school and everything gets fuzzy.”

The words “I think” are important here.  Casey doesn’t seem to have any clear memories, which I would expect if she is claiming in court that she was abused by her father.  This is a red flag for me.

According to this MSNBC article (link above), Casey allegedly told the police she had intercourse with Lee for three years until she was 15.  If her dad abused her, too, why wouldn’t she have said that then?  Why would she throw Lee under the bus and not her dad?

In my eyes, Casey is not able to speak the truth and is willing to lie at the drop of the hat, so we have no reason to put any credence in this claim unless we see or hear something that truly gives this claim validity.  In watching George, I don’t see any clues that he is lying, but I would like to see him or Casey talk more about this before I draw any final conclusions.

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.

Stay tuned for more reviews during this trial!
