The Anthonys on The Early Show

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


Watch CBS Videos Online

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?

Anthony Depositions and Requests

Several of you have emailed me stating that you want me to review the Anthony depositions from this past week. Please know that this general request is very broad and time consuming, and in light of that, I will consider smaller and more specific requests, but at this time, I don’t think it would benefit anyone if I watched the entire deposition.

Read moreIf you have interest in this, please provide me with time markers, video links and tell me briefly about the segment you are interested in. It shows me that you are truly interested in my opinion. Many times when I ask people for this information, they don’t respond, which leads me to believe they aren’t that interested in the topic. And if people aren’t interested, I don’t see the value for me to invest my time. Providing me with specifics to your questions, I think is a fair trade for my time and insight, and a great mutual and beneficial relationship for both of us.

Remember, I don’t give general personality reviews. People change constantly and I can’t say anything across the board about a person. I can only tell you what I see with regard to specific content.

People also seem to be shy to use my topic suggestion tool here. Can I ask why? It makes my life so much easier to have all suggestions in one centralized place. Don’t be shy, please! And if I move one aspect of a case off the main page, it doesn’t mean you can’t suggest it again in a slightly different variation. I’m happy to have suggestions! Thanks.

George Anthony Wants to End Life

This is absolutely the most heart-breaking news (more here) that I have seen this morning. George Anthony reportedly left, and checked into a motel. At some point, he missed a family meeting with their attorney, and sent his family a message that he wanted to end his life. The Orange County police tracked him down via his cell phone pings, and he is currently in the hospital for observation. He says he doesn’t want to live anymore.

Read moreI can only imagine the hell that Cindy and George are going through. The pain is beyond what any of us could ever comprehend. Few of us seem to put ourselves in their shoes to truly try to understand. They have not only one tragedy of inconceivable proportions, but two to deal with. And if they are to accept the realities of what happened, they have to accept that this nightmare came from their own flesh and blood. What does that do to a person’s sense of self-worth? I can only imagine it would bring you to where George found himself. How else could one feel?

I know many people will say that the Anthonys should have reacted differently while they still could. These are people who don’t understand our legal system, and what it is like to know or live with a psychopath. I personally don’t believe psychopaths are created. I believe they are born, and one day, we will understand the defects of the brain that cause these dangerous people to act in the ways that they do. But right now, we are in the dark ages of brain science.

If you’ve never experienced a psychopath, and been forced to deal with their manipulation, control and lies, it’s a world you couldn’t possibly understand. People without a conscience are people with incredible power and influence because they have no boundaries. They will push others to the limits of sanity because it doesn’t cause them any heartbreak to do so. Psychopaths are the ultimate manipulators. They can control the best of us, if we get too close.

My heart goes out to George and Cindy Anthony in these most difficult of times. I do not judge them for their behavior in any form. I feel great pain when I think of the situation they are in and I wish them the strength and courage to move forward, and ultimately peace in knowing the did the best they could with what they knew at the time.

Fox also reported this:

A former boyfriend, Ricardo Morales, told investigators she had made jokes about giving Caylee baby medicine to put her to sleep, according to MyFOXOrlando.com. But he also said she seemed to have a normal relationship with her daughter.

So next time you hear something as sick as this, what are you going to do?

You can call the police, but if Casey says it is a joke, and the police believe her because she looks harmless, and she doesn’t have any type of record, and the police believe she is not a threat to her daughter, what else can you do? Seriously, what options do you have to stop something so horrific as what happened to Caylee?

I believe I can pick out a psychopath more than the average person, but until you or I can prove they have an intent to harm another person, there is absolutely nothing you or I, or anyone else can do to stop such a tragedy from occurring. It’s the price we pay for our ultimate freedoms as a society.

Remains Identified as Caylee Anthony

Breaking news from CNN: The bones found last week are now confirmed to be those of Caylee Anthony.

How terribly sad. My heart aches for the Anthonys.

I forgot I wrote this on July 19th:

I did see some video footage of Casey online from Nancy Grace, and in that video Casey is gloating as the cameras pan on her as she is being led by police from one location to another (starting at time marker :05). Her eyes are glowing with excitement. She is clearly enjoying being in the spotlight, and being deceptive about her daughter.

Can we assume Casey killed her daughter? No, we can’t. A number of things could have happened to her daughter–many of which are horrible to think about, but Casey definitely knows the truth and she isn’t sharing it, and that doesn’t bode well for Caylee.

I don’t believe Casey accidentally killed Caylee. That glow that she had at that time was absolutely chilling. If she accidentally killed her daughter, she would not have felt this way. Add to that her rumored computer searches for breaking of the neck and for chloroform, and this case is bone chilling.

I personally think Casey was ultimately jealous of Caylee and her mom’s affection for Caylee. When Cindy wanted Casey to move out and inquired about getting custody of Caylee, Casey lost it, and decided to make her mom pay the ultimate price, as sick as that is to write. She obviously had no regard to Caylee whatsoever to do what she did.

Child Remains Found Near Anthony Home

News just in from CNN:
Child’s remains found near home of Caylee’s grandparents

Apparently a utility worker a couple of blocks from the Anthony home (approximately 1/4 of a mile) today at approximately 9:30 found a plastic bag and when he picked it up, a child’s skull fell out. Inside were badly decomposed remains of a young child. The bag was found in a wooded area.

Orlando Sentinel:
Remains Appear to Be Caylee Anthony’s Say Searcher

“[EquuSearch volunteer Deborah] Smith said the area where the remains were found is “really wet and steep and there’s lots of snakes back there.”

“EquuSearch spokeswoman Mandy Albritton said their workers did not check that location earlier because it was submerged in water when they had looked in September. When they returned in November, the site had been fenced off [private property].”

May Caylee Anthony get justice.
