"Casey Anthony Is a Great Mom"

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Casey Anthony's parents Cindy and George appear on this morning's "Today" show to defend their daughter. Watch the video here.

Prosecutors have dropped child neglect charges against Casey because they believe Caylee is dead. Casey, however, still sits in jail on first degree murder, manslaughter and other charges, capping a four month investigation into little Caylee's whereabouts.

Casey is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday, October 28.

• Meredith askd Cindy if she believes Caylee is still alive. Cindy said, "Caylee is absolutely alive. This is media frenzy, designed to slow down the process of finding Caylee. The 'evidence' of a decomposing body is circumstantial, and no evidence is 100 percent."

• Meredith also asked, "But Casey lied to police, and chloroform was found in her car. She doesn't come across as a distraught mom. Help us understand her behavior."

"The pictures of Casey partying at a club were taken before June 16. If you really look at the timeline, Casey's behavior makes sense...it's not possible Casey is guilty," says Cindy.

"People never know how they will react in difficult times," she said. "Casey gets judged every day."

"We have never doubted our daughter, not even in a quiet moment," said George.

• When Meredith asked Cindy and George if they would support Casey if she's found guilty of murder, Cindy answered, "I don't believe Casey is dead. I would support her but...I don't know what I'd do."

This story is heartbreaking and disgusting at the same time! The mother and father are clearly in denial, I mean who reports their daughter for having the smell of death in her car and then can convince herself it is from a rotting pizza when no one has seen her grandaughter for months!!!!! I lost sight of my daughter at the park for two minutes once and was running around like a lunetic screaming her name at the top of my lungs. I really couldn’t care less if Casey Anthony is insane, this is all the more reason that she should not be left to run loose in the public. Everytime I see a picture of that little girl I feel horrible. She is georgous and deserved better. If Casey couldn’t take care of her she should have dropped her off at the nearest hospital so that they could find someone who would. There are thousands of couples in our country who cannot have children and who would have given her the world. I am a firm believer in capital punishment and when they finally prove their case I think she should pay with her life. Why should my taxes go to pay for meals and a warm place to sleep for a piece of garbage like that.

I can’t beleive that anybody would say that Casey is a good mother. It is true that only GOD can judge her, but that doesn’t make her not guilty!If she didn’t have anything to do with it, she wouldn’t have lied about any of it. Casey wasn’t a good mom at all… all she ever wanted to do was hang out with her friends and of course MEN!!! SKANK!!!… Whoever thinks shes a good mom then you are just as messed up as she is. I hope Casey get the death penalty. I wish that they would bring he gas chambers back just fr her. DEATH TO CASEY!!!, AND JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE!!!R.I.P. Caylee, and GOD Bless you!!!

At one point I thought oh poor grandparents can’t face the fact that their daughter, the child they raised and watched play with dolls as a young girl grew up to be a MURDERER not just a murderer, but the one who ended the life of her own child;whether it be by her hand or the hand of someone SHE KNOWS!! Casey can’t and does not deserve sympathy; however as a Christian I will pray that God talkes to her soul and COMMAND her to tell where that beautiful little girls REMAINS are and let the earthly body be put to rest while her soul rests with our lord and savior. RIP beautiful little angel who’s wings were clipped much too soon.

I know the resuts!!!! The judge EXCEPTED the NOT GUILTY plea!!! But the trial will begin Dec. 11.If you want to know more go to nancy grace’s website… and go to the find Caylee blog. The judge had 2 choices either except the plea or deny it…And he made the wrong one. But the trial is still going on, that was just the arraignment. I still think that they will find her guilty. Maybe now we will finally get justice for Caylee…R.I.P. Baby Girl! GOD BLESS YOU!!!

They’ve already changed the date and it was just posted yesterday!!! Now, the trial won’t be held until January! I cant beleive the judge excepted her not guilty plea! Can anybody else? This is so ridiculus. She killed that baby, they have enough to convict her… They’ve convicted others with less information than this. Maybe they’re trying to postpone it to see if she cracks and admits to where the body is. Has anybody seen the pictures of her partying yet? Nobody would do that while their child was “missing”. She got rid of her so she wouldn’t have to worry about her while she was with her friends, or screwing men. It’s not Caylee’s fault she got knocked up!!! She could’ve let her parents take care pf her or even gave her up for adoption, I dont want to see any child get put up for adoption but I would much rather see her there than buried under the dirt some where. Cant you just imagine what that little girl was thinking,… “Why didn’t you want me anymore mommy?…Did I do something wrong?… Don’t you love me?… Why do you want to hurt me?” That woman is insane, I have NO sympathy for at all. I hope that when she gets the death penalty it causes as much pain phsically possible! I’ve even heard somewhere that sometimes it doesn’t work the first time, and they have to do it again…Which causes more pain,..I even hope that happens. Casey didn’t deserve Caylee. GOD BLESS YOU CAYLEE!!!

Like I’ve said elsewhere, I’m bugged by the idea that Casey may have burned Caylee’s body. It was a small child. I’m no expert but if she used gasoline or diesel, I wonder how much evidence would have been left beyond a little heap of ashes? We all would like the poor body of this innocent child buried with dignity, and in our mind’s eye we see the bodily human remains. But what if it’s just a pile of ashes? Anyone who’s ever used diesel to burn garden clippings, and such, knows what an effective incinerating agent it is. Gasoline flashes, diesel burns quite steadily. But I’m no detective, so maybe my theory is unreasonable. Only someone who knows all the angles could offer an educated guess on this idea. Would she have actually risked creating smoke? At night, maybe? I was one of the folks feeling sorry for Casey but I think I put way too much of my own personal story onto this case. I apologize for that. I still think there is the possibility of a serious psychiatric angle here. It’s for the experts to figure out. She wouldn’t be the first child murderer to ever have been declared criminally insane.

As a resident of Central Florida I’d like to apologize for this embarrasment to humanity. Had there been no TV cameras this miscreant would’ve been charged with murder and in jail months ago. Sorry for the soap opera.

When this little girl was first reported missing the grandparents were NOT saying that casey was innocent. They themselves have been telling a lot of people including caseys friends how casey is a liar and how she was stealing from them. She also told that she was a bad mom. If you read through all of the police reports and the questioning of one of her friends who was with casey the whole month of caylee missing (except for the few days no one saw her)and when she came back she was complaining about the smell and she was also asking for a gas can from her friend and ended up buying one herself. Even her neighbors have said that she came and asked to borrow a shovel from them and backed her car to the door. She was going out partying every night and telling stories how the baby is at this park and that park. She NEVER once showed any kind of feeling on tv or papers. She never cryed one time about her daughter missing and if she was ok. the ONLY time Casey cryed is when her lawyer was trying to get the death penalty off. Then she was craying and she was trying to make it look like she is so hurt. Caylee did not have a chance to have a full life because her mother took it from her. And even though I believe that she should rott in jail for the rest of her life and think about what she has done to her little girl every day of her life, but then again she clearly doesnt care so death penalty is what she should get. Why let her live when she did not let her beautiful daughter live. She is a monster little kids cry at night about. Instead of protecting her daughter from monsters she was one.

I don’t know what scares me more. The prospect that Casey is a cold-blooded killer or the huge amount of evidence that the vast majority of society is as well. So many people seem to be in a frenzy of delight to throw the switch on anyone else they can. All people seem to need is an excuse or reason. It’s truly terrifying how delighted people seem to demonize one another. Completely blind to the gross conjecture/assumptions that people are making based upon information that doesn’t really point to what people want to believe. I am always amazed at how sick of things people want to believe. Show’s just how sick most people truly are. In a sane world everyone who wanted to see Casey gutted like a fish would share the same fate as she. So many people seem to have 0 concept of what love and loyalty really are that I find it frightening. In all honestly, I think all the people who want nothing more then to throw stones at Casey’s parents are guilty of far worse crimes then they. People should be ashamed of themselves. It’s like this Nancy Grace I have been seeing on TV lately. I truly pity anyone who knows this person. She is a monster.

Kelli- Funny how you mentioned that- as now Casey has begun pointing fingers for sexual abuse, how very predictable !! That defense wont fly though, she had the option of abortion, as well as adoption. There are also new safe haven laws for infants and children. No excuses for murder.

I FIND IT NUTS THAT CINDY ANTHONY CAN EVEN LET THE WORDS “GOOD MOTHER” ROLL OFF HER LIPS. GOOD MOTHERS DON’T STAY OUT ALL NIGHT POLE DANCING WHILE THERE DAUGHTER IS “LOST”,GOOD MOTHERS DON’T STEAL FROM THERE DAUGHTERS PIGGY BANK, GOOD MOTHERS DON’T TAKE THERE DAUGHTER TO A “NANNY” AND WAIT 30 DAYS BEFOR SHE SAY’S I CAN’T FIND MY DAUGHTER. AND IF CINDY ANTHONY NEVER FOUND HER AT THAT GUYS HOUSE HOW MUCH LONGER WOULD SHE HAVE WAITED BEFOR SHE TOLD SOMEONE. BOTTOM LINE SHE IS A LIAR AND I YHINK SHE LEARNED THAT FROM HER MOTHER! SHE IS A MURDER! AND TO BE HONEST I THINK THE ONLY SAIN ONE IS GEORGE AND BY THE TIME THIS IS OVER HE WILL PROBUBLY BE NUTS LIKE THE REST OF THEM WHAT A SHAME. I THINK IF CASEYS OUT COME IS LIFE IN PRISON, OR THE DEATH PENALITY AND GEORGE HAS TO TESTIFY THAT WILL BE THE END OF THERE MARRIGE, AND THAT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD THING CAUSE HE HAS BEEN THE ONLY TRUTHFUL ONE.

CASEY HAD TO SOMETHING, CAYLEE WAS LEARNING TO TALK & BE UNDERSTOOD, SHE COULD TELL HER GRANDPARENS WHAT CASEY WAS DOING & GOING, SHE WAS SAFE TILL SHE LEARNED TO TALK.

I am wondering that if george and cindy had found out caylee was dead, do you think she would have called the police or just swept little caylee under the table to save casey.

Man do we feel sorry for losers! Casey is “lower than a Dog” in my book. I hope that Caylee’s image of Innocence and Purity will haunt and torture Casey forever! I “pity the fool”( Mr. T) who thinks murdering a child is glory. Casey should rot where she is going.

Its obvious to all that TotMom, as she has been tagged, is a serial, pathological liar and thief. What is really odd, to me, is that the parents seem so unable to grasp the reality of what their daughter, the TotMom, is all about. The things TotMom’s parents say are just unreal. I’ve heard that TotMom’s father is a retired cop. I’ve heard him mention he was something to that effect. But, for a retired cop, the TotMom sure has pulled the wool over HIS eyes.

I think that they said George Anthony was a retired homocide police. I am sure that he knows what his daughter has done, and likely that it why he tried to kill himself recently. Also, with him being an ex-cop, I am sure that Cindy Anthony knew better that to wash the clothing and clean the car, in effect destroying evidence…of course she suspected that her daughter was guilty. I don’t think she is in denial as much as not being able to stand the thought of her daughter being a murderer condemned to die or spend her life in prison.
