George and Cindy Anthony, vilified?

Commentary

Do you believe that George and Cindy Anthony have been unfairly vilified? At the beginning of the Casey Anthony case, the public was alerted to missing Caylee Anthony because of Cindy Anthony’s phone call. This alone should have been enough for many to realize that Cindy Anthony did not have a direct impact upon her granddaughter’s disappearance. It was Cindy Anthony who was panicked, Cindy Anthony who cried frantically, and Cindy Anthony who picked up the phone and called 911, three times.

What mother would believe that their daughter is capable of the heinous crime alleged of Casey Anthony? What grandmother wouldn’t want to believe that her granddaughter is alive and in the hands of a nanny rather than met with a horrific fate of death and murder. Is it right for the public to blame Cindy Anthony for clinging to the only hope that was presented to her, albeit that hope was offered by the one now charged with Caylee’s murder, Casey Anthony.

How about George Anthony? Did George Anthony behave in a manner that suggested he had anything to do with Caylee’s disappearance? The grief of losing Caylee has been obvious and at one point, George Anthony attempted to take his own life. Both Cindy and George Anthony stated that the smell in the vehicle was that of death. Many believe that George and Cindy Anthony are in denial, but who wouldn’t be? How can the human mind truly wrap itself around such horrific details such as cold blooded murder or a mother searching for ways to break her two year old daughter’s neck.

What do you think? Do you think that George and Cindy Anthony are guilty of a crime, or do you believe that they are in denial, trying to deal with the tragic loss of their granddaughter Caylee. Finally, do you believe that George and Cindy Anthony would do anything to suppress the truth, even if it meant lying to protect their daughter Casey Anthony.
