I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when I read about the Anthony’s once again thinking they should be treated different from everyone else. I personally am so tired of hearing their excuses as to why they should get special privileges. They have used the death of their precious granddaughter to get away with so many things since their spoiled daughter has been charged with the murder of Caylee Marie Anthony almost three years ago.
We have heard on numerous occasions about how hard this is for them. We have heard it said about the medication Cindy is on due to this case and how it causes memory loss and then we heard how new medicine is bringing her memory back. I guess it is a miracle drug she is taking. They should be using it on patients that actually do have a memory loss, not ones that only use that as an excuse to lie under oath.
They thought they should be allowed to be the only visitors at the Orange County jail to visit a prisoner without the visit being recorded, even though it was quite clear that the jailhouse policy is that ALL visits are recorded for prisoners, yet they thought they should be excused for that since they are going through such a hardship in their family. There is so many other occasions where they expected to be treated special but this one takes the cake.
Now George and Cindy Anthony’s attorney has filed a motion to allow them to attend the proceedings during the trial, even though they are on the prosecutions witness list. The motion claims that their constitutional rights will be prejudiced if they are excluded from what they call crucial proceedings.
The court has already ruled that they can attend the proceedings after they testify, not before, but their attorney is saying that is not good enough. He says in the motion that is simply not enough! The motion says victims of crimes, including the next of kin of homicide victims, have the right to be present to the extent that it does not interfere with the constitutional rights of the accused.
According to the Orlando Sentinel the motion says the rule of sequestration is designed to help ensure a fair trial by avoiding “the color of a witness’s testimony by that which he has heard from other witnesses who have preceded him on the stand.â€
It also states that during previous invocation of the rule of sequestration, Casey Anthony has not made any request to exclude her parents from attending the hearing because of a prejudice to her.
I say enough is enough. This family has had too many exceptions. Cindy Anthony has lied numerous times under oath. Are we supposed to make an exception for her because of the trauma she has been going through and not hold her responsible for breaking the law? I think not. Cindy and George Anthony think they should be excused of everything they have done to cover up the murder of their granddaughter, Caylee. Well why should they be? A little girl has been murdered. Have they forgotten Caylee? They should be worried about what happened to Caylee.
I understand a mother’s undying love for her child but undying love also includes showing support for that child, not pretending that child did nothing wrong. I say this is why Casey Anthony is like she is now. She doesn’t care how many times she messes up, she knows Mother will be there to cover it up for her, just like for instance when Casey stole that money from her grandmother. How about when Casey stole money from them? Cindy has always been there to get Casey out of trouble and now she is still trying to prevent her from paying for the horrible crime she has committed, even if it is for killing her own granddaughter.
I do pray that Judge Perry does not permit this motion. They should only be allowed in the courtroom after they have finished testifying and not until then, just like every other citizen in our country. Why should they be any different?
Pray for justice for Caylee Marie Anthony!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackGood article. I agree with all but one item you wrote: being a mental health professional, I believe Cindy when she claims that her trauma has resulted in “pieces of what happened coming back” to her in her memory. This happens to people in many different traumatic situations. The brain protects us until we can deal with ugly, sudden shocks & terrifying events that caused us to reduce our level of functioning; like a deer in the headlights, at the time. However, I do not agree with Cindy about anti-depressants having anything to do with memory loss, or her regaining of memories. The latter is bunk IMHO. 😉
You put it very well, about how Cindy has always been there to excuse, forgive, cover for, etc., etc., anything & everything that Casey did that was breaking a rule, being obnoxious, whatever else. I’ve listened to the police/FBI interview of Cindy’s brother, Rick. In that session he says one thing that blew my mind. It was to the effect that, “Cindy has always treated Casey like, ‘That’s my daughter. My daughter can do no wrong.” Well, NO WONDER this has happened! A life of no-consequences virtually ensures behavior like this, outcomes like Casey’s. Boy, haven’t I seen any # (in hundreds) of criminals behind bars over the years, for assessments, & they so often had a parent who took that same attitude!
I enjoy your writing. Keep up the good work!
There’s no way this motion can be granted. If it is, and the Anthonys sit in the court room, then any opportunity for a successful appeal will be lost as the due process rights of the State of Florida have been compromised – whether they can be shown as being “violated” or not. The Anthonys (ALL of them) should be sequestered from the court room AND each other.
It’s VERY obvious that the Anthonys (ALL of them) have the opinion that this is their world and everybody else just happens to be in it.
How horrible that the State of Florida has to pay for this woman’s defense!
I don’t believe Cindy has forgotten anything. She knew the smell in the trunk was from a dead body. That’s why Cindy washed Casey’s pants…to get the odor out before investigators could find any evidence on them! I’m just wondering why she wasn’t arrested for tampering with evidence. Cindy was covering up the truth then and she’s covering it up now.
I hope judge perry lets everything in. she should of thought of this before she killed her daughter Caylee. Where is the justice for poor Caylee. And they should get rid of this dream team. Baez and Mason our nothing but jerks and big fat leirs like the rest of the anthony family
Very good article… It’s time for the Ant(tics) to be stopped, they need to be accountable for their actions. I feel so bad for Caylee.
Naw, it isn’t the medications that are making Cindy remember events. That allocade would belong to her vloumes of binder misinformation she has written since day 1-June 15th, 2008. There is no way the courts would by-pass a rule that has been on every law book since the early 1900’s, not for the Anthony’s. They are NOT next of kin. What they are IS nosy and they want to intimidate just by being there in the same room. They want the jury to see their hang dog phony face expressions and theatrics. They are sweating bullets because they just won’t have enough time to write down various scenarios of what they precieve happened in time when they are called to testify or to refute what was said, get the right Anthony answer and they sure can’t be haughty or get that undigafied and nasty attitude going.
They are pieces of work and they will be cut down in good time. I not only feel they Should NOT be in that courtroom everyday, I feel they shouldn’t even be allowed in the hallway along with the daily group of witnesses. They’ll start something, you just know they will. I hope they start up enough to get sent into the jail for being a public nusiance and for being
in contempt. Maybe they can stay outside the courthouse and serve up their brand of kool aid to Geraldo the snake.
This is a damned if you do, damned if you don’t issue. If they can’t attend in person, they will watch on-line.
Sorry Folk, You must fellow the law rule. U must wait until after testimony. Cindy and George, thats too bad. in world must not go to the trail the beinggning.. if your witness. they already knew your lied way too much and they already knew you fixed like puzzle to con them. they already knew you write down the note pad to make sure you wont make one mistake again. too bad. we re too smart for that. I can’t believe Cindy… shes grandma of caylee.
Think of Caylee. You will be reqret rest of your life when u find out the truth.
Caylee’s next of kin will be in the courtroom the entire trial – her name is Casey Anthony! Though Cindy thinks she was Caylee’s mother – she was not. Maybe they should just stay home until they are called to testify – no big loss to us.
They have no constitutional right to be in the courtroom at all (and their lawyer is an idiot for even suggesting such a thing). Casey Anthony, the defendant, has that right. Cindy and George are witnesses. Sheesh!
Cindy’s convenient memory regain was when the chloroform issue came up at the hearings. Now, she says she sprayed a whole can of Febreze and that explains it.
The Anthony’s honestly consider themselves celebrities at this point. Including Casey. They are looking forward to the day they will be followed with microphones outside the courthouse. Although they complain, they LOVE it. excluding Lee that is.
It is another opportunity to possibly make more money off of this. There is a real problem with this family. They are in a world of their own and mistakenly believe that they are stars * When they see the madness that will go on outside the courthouse with those bent on justice for Caylee they will feel victimized once again. I am sure they are ready for interviews and autographs. What a tragic and sick way to bask in fame.
And yes, they think they don’t have to go by the rules others go by. Jose is not going to be famous over this trial unless it is for being a giant pain and causing a HUGE expense for FL. He keeps changing the defense and everyone knows it. He still doesn’t know what to say…..blames the system and the media for Casey’s 31 days .
This case is not some big unusual case. Happens often. It was the lies that made it so high profile. Just like Scott Peterson’s. Casey and Scott have the same calm demeanor. Huge lies, fantasies and sociopath behavior.
AMEN to the comment that Cindy’s protection,
covering up, and generally raising Casey with,
apparently, never any consequences for her bad
behavior, has played a hugh part in this terrible tragedy. When someone is allowed to
float through life with no responsibilities and
no consequences for their actions they often become sociopaths…though Casey may have had
some love for Caylee, Caylee was clearly in her
way…she had a new boyfriend she wanted to spend all of her time with and I don’t think he
thought his place was an appropriate environment for a little girl to live in…therefore, Caylee had to go. I have seen
this exact behavior in several people in my life and each and every one of them had either
one or two indulgent parents to the point that
absolutely nothing was expected of them and
there was never and punishment for their behavior no matter how bad it was….if the
parents could only understand they are not doing these children a favor,,,instead they are
making them unfit to live a normal life and
causing almost everyone they become aquainted
with to litterly despise them.
While I harbor no love for Cindy Anthony… ”Cindy Anthony has lied numerous times under oath.” This statement is not a proven fact – or she would be held accountable for perjury long before now.
More Justice for Caylee came in today in the form of more deny, deny, DENY. Stick that in your invisable pipe Bozo! Thank You, Judge Perry!
The wheels on the Justice For Caylee bus is going round and round. HOORAY!
Hold It A Minute! So Cindy says she sprayed Febreeze and threw around softner sheets through the car, fine and well. How did she explain in her depo the story about the cloraform searches on her computer? Another lie.
I read as part of the penalty phase discovery response filed by the defense, the name of 6 additional persons that could be called as a witness for casey during her penalty phase. Along with the names where also thier address to include the city and state. OMG cindy and casey have the same form of loss and regained memory. Why during the entire investation could casey not recall one correct name or address or even a city of those she named. and now as part of attempting to save her skin, she was able to give BOZO!!!! Jenne Plesea, Sandra Silva, Adam Middleton, Tom Bonds, Earl meredith and andrew H. full contact information, GIVE IT UP SISTER, WE are all not the fool your mom dad and brother are.
Cindy is so Hell Bent to protect her precious sociopathic daughter that I will not be surprised if she doesn’t say that George killed Caylee… she’s spent her life getting Casey out of trouble and I am sure she would think nothing was wrong with sacrificing her husband for her sociopathic daughter! And if that doesn’t work she’s capable of making it look like she herself did it. Casey will never have to pay any price for anything she has done… not as long as she has her enabling parents!
What if this is a ploy to hold up the trial? They can say their constitutional rights are being violated and try to file something in a civil court just to stall the case. I wouldn’t put it past them.
For goodness sake. Bet they are trying to pull the same statement that KC is a victim in this too, so in their mind that would give them the right to be there. Try Again! Reminisce of the Zanny dog statement. Try Again. Don’t they ever give it a rest? General population has spoken loud and clear. We are sick and tired of these Antics. Best thing to do IS sequester them away from the courthouse until duly called, put them in rooms with no tv, no computer, no newspapers and then lets see how they fight their way out of the corner they are pinned into when it’s their turn to testify.
I’m concerned about the media circus this will cause. This will earn them another round on the talk show circuit. They seem to always want to be the center of attention don’t they? Why can’t they graciously follow the rules like everybody else?
They are “special”….but not in a way that any of us “normal” people would find ourselves to be proud of! I think we need to find a “special” prison to put the whole family in because they all deserve to be there. Better yet….put them all in a prison cell for one day….I’m sure they will have each other strangled by the end of the day. just sayin’…..
Let them parade themselves to the media while trial is going on. And then they will see what they are truly up against!
I don’t doubt one bit that Cindy would throw George under the bus. He’s a no account bum. When they were going to divorce, it was in Cindys best interest it was unfortunately cheaper to keep George than have him walk with some of what she has worked hard for all her life it seems. I don;t like her and could care less about them, but this now leads me to believe that maybe George might be more involved that previously thought. Jealous to think he contributed nothing like his daughter contributed nothing, but at the same time Cindy would keep KC and Caylee over him anyday and he didn’t like that or the fact he’d walk with nothing to show for his lazy efforts in that marriage.
I don’t think the George and Cindy Anthony had anything to do with Caylee’s death. Not directly.
I truly believe what happened is Cindy and Casey had a big fight and Cindy threatened to take Caylee away from Casey because she was an unfit mother.
It probably had something to do with Casey stealing money from her grandmother. Cindy piratically choked the living daylights out her and Casey knew the jig was up.
Caylee was Casey’s meal ticket. Because of Caylee her parents tolerated her bad behavior. But, they had enough. Casey killed Caylee rather than have her parents have her taken away and she’d be kicked out on the streets.
Casey killed Caylee, drove around with her in the trunk of her car for awhile and then dumped her body after the car started to stink.
Casey tried to frame Amy/Jesse. Remember complaining about running out of gas and asking them to come to the car and help her? That way their fingerprints would be on the car trunk and on the gasoline can.
That didn’t work. So, she told no one. Every time someone asked her where Caylee was she said she was with the Nanny or with whomeve, where ever. She moved in with her BF, used Amy’s money and had fun. She was living the beautiful life!
It was easy to keep her mother at bay. After all, they had a vicious fight and she could play the victim while Cindy called everyday pleading with her to come home and telling her all was forgiven. Remember the post Cindy made on her myspace account?
Anyway, everything started to unravel when the car was towed….The rest is history.
MOO.
The attorney for George and Cindy is just blowing smoke when he claims their “contitutional rights would be prejudiced” if they can’t sit in the courtroom. Amendment 6 of the Constitution states that an accused person has the right to confront the witnesses against them. There is nothing that says Cindy and George have any right to be there ahead of their testimony. They just want to hear what’s being said so they can figure out how to counter other witnesses.
George and Cindy Anthony’s lawyer is going to be interviewed this morning on CNN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade. It’s starting already. 🙁
Hi everyone,i will be so glad when this trial starts,it is time for justice for caylee,i am sick of seeing casey and her stupid family’s faces,i want the smirks and chewing gum crap wiped from their faces when she is convicted
As far as the car running out of gas,what does a normal person do when that happens?she had money to buy beer and junk she did not think to put gas in the car?,but she had her boyfriend come get her why did he not bring a gas can and get her car back to his apartment,why just leave it there
I think Casey told her boyfriend the car had mechanical problems and her father was going to get it fixed. IIRC.
KC told everybody a lot of things. It would be interesting to find out if the car was positoned the same way Tony saw it on the 27th or how KC mentioned it opposed to when the tow truck came to pick it up on th 30th. THAT would be interesting because then it would show somebody else either drove it or re-parked it. Then we’d see some real action because then we’d know KC wouldn’t have any way of moving it and then somebody would have to have maybe put some petrol in it to move it and maybe took something out of it.
These family members serve no purpose trying to be in the courtroom other to do show off and do their antics then say I forgot, sorry. MOO this family is just as guilty of this crime as KC. Tampering comes to mind right after all the major lying.
Those of us in tune with reality realize Casey Anthony is “Bad Seed”. Her parents, at least her mother Cindy, is and has always apparently been in denial. “Her daughter can do no wrong???” Where do a Mom or Dad get the idea in parenting that his or her child is perfect?
How does this happen????
There is too much glaring evidence, more the prosecution will most likely bring to our attention during the trial,which should most likely convict Casey Anthony.
Casey’s arrogant,smirking demeanor alone would be enough to cause an objective juror to throw up.
If she took the witness stand, the prosecution would eat her alive. I believe she should have confessed and gone with a plea bargain three years ago. Yet, she lives under the delusion that she will be exonerated…..that somehow her attorney will convince the jury that she is innocent and that her boyfriend, Kronk, Padilla, and even her father may have conspired to kill her daughter and then all decided to shift the blame to her, the victim.
It appears she thinks she is smarter than any judge or juror. She has always gotten away with deviant behavior before. The thought of having to be punished harsely for any offense she commits may well never been her experience. She may be totally clueless about what she may face with life in prison or on death row. Thanks to parents who defend and excuse her bad behavior and refuse to modify, or punish the lying, stealing and other deviant behaviors ,she goes on believing even in the face of being convicted of murder, that she will not have to suffer the consequences, for she has always gotten away with bad behaviors before, and so why not believe she can get away with murder now???
Hopefully, Judge Perry will not allow this motion to pass. If it does, the Anthonys’ will be lying even more than in the past. They have already shown their disrespect for the courtroom and other people in the courtroom.
Thanks for your posting Jan, you are so right, i would want to see charges for both the Anthony parents after this trial is over
I so agree with everything all of you have said. I do think George is going to take the 5th to cast doubt and then the jury will be left with not knowing if he did it. All it takes is one jury having a doubt. Casey is not going to allow her father to visit her in jail before the trial because that will go against her now saying he abused her as a child. She didn’t have a problem with him visiting before and even ask her mom to put him on the phone. But she changed when she realized she has to put the blame on him. If you remember, she didn’t even look at him the last time he was on the stand and was crying. He walked right beside her going out and she never raised her head but did when her mother walked by and didn’t at Lee either after he said that he had lied to her. She all of a sudden cares about her mother but didn’t before. In her sick mind she thinks her mother will save her even if it means blaming George. One other question. Please answer if you know? I have ask many times and no one will answer. Does anyone know if TruTv In Session is the only network that will carry live coverage of her trial? They go off the air at 3 pm now and you have to go to CNN Live to catch the rest. I don’t have the Internet all over my house and my sound on my computer is not loud so I have to be right in front of my computer to hear anything. If anyone knows of another network please let me know. When OJ’s trial was going on CNN, CNBC, Court TV all carried it live from start to finish each day. I don’t like In Session. They have way to many commercials, they go to one right in the middle of an important statement being made and do it w/o any notice. They also carry other trials at the same time so we will be lucky to see 2-3 hrs a day of their 6 hrs on each day. Let me know please if you know.
Thanks
Casey Anthony and Cindy Anthony caused all this.
ANY ONE, LIKE casey, WHO CAN SIT BACK AND FORCE THE LEGAL SYSTEM AND MANY MANY PEOPLE TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS JUST SO THEY, casey, CAN HOLD ON THEIR PRIDE AND THEIR LIES, IS A PIECE OF EVIL GARBAGE. SHE REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH AND THAT IS THE ENTIRE PROBLEM.
Casey Anthony is evil and anyone who sees ANY good in her is highly deceived.
She does not deserve anything. WE deserve the truth and she can put a stop to ALL this nonsense. She is a self righteous bitch and jail is too good for her.
