Today's testimony was confusing to say the least. It was hard to figure out just where Jose Baez was going but once the day was over...I think I have figured a few things out.
There never was any thought in my mind that the Anthony family is a bit dysfunctional. (okay-more than a bit)
Today though, it became pretty clear that there are some huge secrets in this family. Could Casey REALLY have been telling the TRUTH about what happened to Caylee??????
Cindy Anthony was back on the stand, this time testifying to how Caylee could easily climb the ladder and get into the pool. As a mom of 5 who had an above-ground pool when I also had a toddler, I find this 100% believable. Pictures of Cindy walking up the ladder behind Caylee show that Cindy was being like any typical mom (or grandmom) making sure that she was there just in case.
Jose Baez also grilled Cindy on whether or not Caylee would always wear shoes when she left the house. I really didn't get this line of questioning but I do now. Cindy said Caylee ALWAYS WORE SHOES. Like most toddler girls, she loved wearing shoes.
HMMMMMM. WHY were there NO shoes found with her remains?????????
Why were the shorts that were found with the remains unrecognizable to Cindy? Because she hadn't seen them in a while- Caylee had grown out of them.
Cindy also said that Caylee could open the sliding door to get outside but there was NO WAY Caylee could open the gate to the backyard.
Cindy also testified that she told police that when she came home from work on June 16th, the gate was open and the ladder was by the pool- NOT OFF like SHE had left it the previous day.
Okay. That is good for the defense in part but what came next was better.
Next up was brother Lee Anthony. You remember Lee? Casey's defense says Lee tried to molest Casey. So, why did Lee seem to do all he could to protect his sister???
Lee broke down on the stand several times when he spoke about how he was excluded from Caylee's birth and how when he had confronted his mother about his suspicions that Casey was pregnant (he noticed the baby bump on more than one occasion) she dismissed him.
He also said that he went to Jose Baez because there was something that Casey's defense needed to know and he knew that his parents were not going to give Jose the information.
This was not revealed and prosecution couldn't ask Lee about it.
So what is the BIG SECRET?????? One can only speculate and honestly, I still cannot conceive why Lee would help his sister's defense when he was thrown under the bus by them.
The connection between this brother and sister is weird. The connection between Cindy and Casey is weird.
There are family secrets here that they do not want to come out. It is obvious. THIS is what is drawing the public attention. The total and complete madness of this family dynamic is compelling.
Did George Anthony really molest Casey?
The way this family lies for each other really makes you wonder. Can they possibly be so disturbed that Casey really snapped afterwards?
OMG. I cannot believe that the defense is making me feel like Casey Anthony is not a monster.
Many people out there can look at this family and if they are honest with themselves, they might see that the cast of characters is believable.
Yes, people can be this damaged. Cindy Anthony talks about this granddaughter as if she was her child. She treated Caylee as HER child. There were so many secrets in this family.
Denial, anger, misplaced roles, and of course - LIES.
All I can say is WOW. The truth may just be as ugly as Jose Baez dramatized it to be.
