Mark Lippman, attorney for George and Cindy Anthony, made a statement last night where he said that his clients "do not think Casey is innocent" and they do not want to see their daughter get the death penalty.
To me, it is a great relief that these parents are finally accepting the truth about their daughter, as awful as it is, because I firmly believe that although denial is a coping mechanism, you cannot live your life in denial. The pain that these parents/grandparents are living with is unimaginable.
The attorney also said that they understand that the defense is trying to save their client's life but I wonder how they feel about George being blamed for taking part in a crime. They did deny any knowledge and disputed that anything the defense claimed took place.
Most parents cannot help but love their child no matter what but tough love comes into play when the child (adult or not) behaves in a way that is criminal or self-abusive. George and Cindy Anthony said they continue to stand by their child but I don't think that either of them will take the blame for her crime.
It is quite possible that Cindy Anthony will be called by the defense today. Updates on the day's testimonies later.
