Right on Artgal. Le'ts blame or give credit to God for everything. Then we take all the responsibility off of ourselves! Sounds like quite a deal! wink

by cherylz Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:24 pm

I just read the above. It really makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Re: GA. During the trial I felt as though he truly manned up, told the truth and threw KC under the bus. It was clear to me that he thought KC was resp. That seems to be reiterated now. He thinks she sedated her. I wonder what he thinks about the duct tape?
CA on the other hand...LIES...both on and off the hot seat. I bet it is the only way she can live. To believe it was an accident and her feeling that God released her b/c she was innocent! That is simply a fantasy. She is believing what she wants to believe. Distorting the facts. Rationalizing, etc...
When I think of Caylee I get such a pit in my stomach. It is all so tragic.

by cherylz Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:25 pm

I should clarify...when I read the above article. I was not referring to your above post BJ. We posted at the same time!

by cherylz Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:27 pm

I just went back and read responses since the article I read. Wrap we said just about the same thing!!

by Wrapitup Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:29 pm

Cindy claimed that this interview was the first time she heard George propose the drug overdose theory, and she argued that the evidence at trial did not support it. She seemed to stand by the defense theory that Caylee drowned accidentally.

Despite their different views, Cindy said of George’s explanation, "If that's how he feels and he's finally getting that out in the open, I think it's a good thing for him."

Yea, right!!! Now, really..this just shows to me that George is not "allowed" to express his views for fear of Cindy's retribution. What kind of marriage is this where he could not have expressed this to Cindy before? This speaks Volumes and shows to me that Cindy is the matriarch and you better damned well agree with her or STFU! I bet she is still ragging on him for going public with his true thoughts. I think George felt safe with Dr. Phil.

Still, Cindy did seem to offer something of an excuse at one point: “I know that Casey’s belief, as soon as someone dies they leave their body and that’s no longer Caylee. Caylee went straight to heaven.”

Even if the body was just an empty shell, however, she emphasized that it was wrong to leave Caylee’s remains where they were found.

Who cares what Casey's "beliefs" are?? OMG!! Does she also believe that if she murders her child she w/go straight to hell? And, for Cindy to say that it was "wrong" WRONG?? to leave Caylee's remains where they were found is despicable. WRONG!!! It's inhumane, criminal, torturous, heinous. Wrong is when you drink and drive or lie to someone (which she did plenty of) but that WRONG really stood out to me.

And, I was Really glad when DP asked "what about Caylee?"

by jeanne1807 Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:51 pm

I shall never get over Cindy excusing Casey from leaving Caylee in that swamp by saying Caylee was in heaven. What remained was only her body...according to "Casey's" beliefs.

Imagine that. Takes my breath away.

by artgal16 Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:53 pm

Cindy is so damn clever - but Dr Phil should have jumped on her when she said God has absolved Casey because she wasnt convicted and that was the true justice for Caylee. That literally made me sick. By saying that
she was basically saying that God judged that it was ok for Caylee to be
dead and thrown in the woods. What kind of person is Cindy I dont know
I only know she is not someone I would want to know or have anything to do with - she is poisonous.

Cindy Anthony: 'Justice For Caylee Was When Her Mother Walked'
George, Cindy Anthony Disagree On How Caylee Died
POSTED: Wednesday, September 14, 2011
UPDATED: 4:21 pm EDT September 14, 2011

ORLANDO, Fla. -- In the second part of their interview with Dr. Phil McGraw, George and Cindy Anthony discussed their differing opinions of how their granddaughter died.

Cindy Anthony told McGraw on the "Dr. Phil Show," that she believes Caylee's death was an accident based on the not guilty verdict in Casey Anthony's murder trial.
"Justice for Caylee was when her mother (Casey Anthony) walked," Cindy Anthony said.

George Anthony expressed different opinions during the interview. He said he does not believe that Caylee died by accidental drowning and he does not feel the same way about the outcome of their daughter's murder trial.

"If Caylee drowned, why the elaborate coverup?" George Anthony asked.

Instead, George Anthony said he more likely believes that his daughter, possibly along with friends, had given Caylee too much of a chemical, possibly Zanex or chloroform, and Caylee never woke up. He said he thought his daughter may have used a chemical to sedate Caylee because she wanted freedom, but Cindy Anthony said she had never heard her husband discuss this theory until that moment.

"Inside of my heart, I don't believe that Caylee drowned," George Anthony said.

Cindy Anthony said she does not believe drug theories because there was no evidence that Casey ever did drugs, nor did toxicology results show that Caylee had been drugged.

George Anthony then discussed how his reputation was tarnished by defense accusations that he had molested his daughter and was present when Caylee died. He also denied having an intimate relationship with a search volunteer named River Cruz, despite her testimony to the contrary.

"Why was I never brought up on any charges?" George Anthony asked.

He said he expressed guilt in his suicide note because he felt he could have done more to save Caylee, but not because he actually did anything wrong.

"I lost Caylee three years ago. I lose Casey around the same time," George Anthony said.

Both George and Cindy Anthony expressed anger over the way Caylee's remains were disposed of, in plastic bags in a swampy wooded area near their Orange County home.

"How could they do that to her? Why didn't she (Casey) tell us?" George Anthony said.

Cindy Anthony said she would never dispose of the body of someone she loved liked that, but defended her daughter, saying that Casey Anthony believes that someone's soul leaves their body as soon as they die, so the body was no longer Caylee.

Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murder in Caylee's death on July 5. She is currently serving one year of probation for an unrelated check fraud conviction.

The way I interpreted what Cindy said was that Casey was found not guilty because God knew that she didn't murder Caylee and wouldn't have let her be convicted.

If Casey Anthony is the most hated woman in America, as one poll has suggested, Cindy and George Anthony just might be shoo-ins for worst grandparents in America. That's judging by the outrage being vented against the couple following their exclusive interview on the season premier of "Dr. Phil."

The couple said they decided to be interviewed by TV host and therapist Phil McGraw so they could tell their side of the story about the disappearance and death of their granddaughter, Caylee. Instead, in the interview that aired Tuesday, they seemed to defend some of their daughter Casey's actions.

Casey was acquitted in July of killing the 2-year-old, whose body was found in December 2008 near the family's home. She had gone missing in mid-June of that year, but was not reported missing for a month. The inconsistencies in her accounts to police raised suspicions among the public that have never gone away.

In the interview, Casey's parents seemed oddly remote, almost devoid of outrage over the apparent murder of their granddaughter or the thicket of lies that that their daughter told in the days leading up to her arrest.

One example: Cindy Anthony defended her daughter's decision to go to a bar and hop up on stage for a hard-body contest during the very same period that Caylee was missing. A photograph captured a smiling, laughing, well-coiffed Casey Anthony during this "bump-and-grind" moment (as highlighted again and again by CNN's Nancy Grace).

Cindy Anthony told Dr. Phil it was unfair to sum up the night with that photograph because Casey didn't go to the bar intending to enter the contest -- she joined it to help out a friend after another friend dropped out of the contest. Dr. Phil called her out on this point, but Cindy Anthony insisted she was merely trying to set the record straight.

Cindy Anthony also said that their daughter had a history of seizures and that she had wondered whether that condition had something to do with Caylee's disappearance -- perhaps something happened to Caylee while Casey was blacked out. Cindy Anthony also said she'd wondered whether postpartum depression may have played a role in the child's disappearance.

Some inconsistencies were obvious. At one point, Cindy said her daughter didn't have a history of deceit -- but then conceded that Casey hid her pregnancy from her parents until she was five months along.

Dr. Phil told Matt Lauer, co-host of NBC's "Today" show, that Cindy Anthony is simply unable to face her daughter's role -- whatever it might have been -- in Caylee's death. "I think it’s denial of the highest order," he said. "It’s like, 'I'm going to find some reason to say this was involuntary on [Casey’s] part, whatever it is she did."

For his part, George Anthony let his wife do most of the talking. He was largely out of the public eye during the investigation and trial, even though at one point he was accused of molesting his daughter when she was a child.

It appears, however, that George Anthony gets an opportunity to speak at length during Part 2 of the interview, which is slated to air Wednesday.

Cindy Anthony said she still has hopes for her daughter.

"I would love to see her be happy either in a career or in a family setting," Cindy Anthony said. "You know, I'd love for her to get married if she so chooses and, if she's healthy, to be able to be a mom again."

Few people may wish that. Casey Anthony was recently voted the most hated person in America, according to a poll that monitors the public's perception of celebrities or, in this case, the simply notorious.

The grandparents aren't winning much admiration either.

Here are a few of the comments left on the "Dr. Phil" discussion boards:

-- "Its very tragic that these parents feel they have to protect their daughter in all circumstances; even after she killed her own child, their precious and beloved granddaughter... tragic situation."

-- "Deny deny deny all you want...don't you want justice for your granddaughter?"

-- "I can't believe what I hear coming from Cindys mouth. She is still trying to make excuses for her daughter when in fact there is NO excuse. The interview has made me sick on my stomach!"

-- "There is NO way I would take up for ANY child of mine who would hurt my grandchild."

-- "What I heard today was more of the same BS that they spouted during the last three years. Cindy will always make excuses because to admit that Casey is guilty would be a direct reflection on her as a parent."

I had never considered that. How selfish of Cindy to want to look like a good mother while her precious granddaughter dies a horrible death!!!

Parents of Casey Anthony tell Dr. Phil they believe she knew where her child was buried

By Associated Press, Updated: Wednesday, September 14, 5:55 PM

ORLANDO, Fla. — Casey Anthony’s parents offered differing views in a television interview with “Dr. Phil” host Phil McGraw about how they think their 2-year-old granddaughter died in 2008.

Cindy Anthony said she believes that Caylee Anthony drowned, while her husband George Anthony was adamant that the toddler died by other means and that his daughter Casey Anthony had more intricate knowledge about how it happened.

Anthony’s parents shared their opinions during the second part of an interview with McGraw that aired Wednesday. They spoke with McGraw for a lengthy, taped interview over a two-day period recently. A portion of the interview devoted to Casey Anthony’s murder trial will also be shown later this month.

A message left by The Associated Press with one of Casey Anthony’s attorneys, Jose Baez, was not immediately returned.

George Anthony said he thinks Casey may have accidently drugged his granddaughter and she tried to cover it up. Cindy Anthony said she does think Casey did know where her toddler was buried and may have had help placing her body there.

“If Casey is watching this someday — Yes, I think she’s responsible for Caylee not being here,” George Anthony said.

Caylee Anthony was the focus of a wide-ranging search after her disappearance in June 2008. Casey Anthony told police that a fictitious babysitter had kidnapped the child. The 25-year-old maintained the same story to her family until the child’s skeletal remains were found in a wooded area in December 2008 not far from the Anthony family home.

“I think (Casey) was there and she probably had some help,” George Anthony told McGraw.

Casey Anthony stood trial for her toddler’s death this summer, with her defense attorneys telling jurors the child drowned by accident in the family pool. She was acquitted in July, but convicted of four charges of lying to police.

She is currently somewhere in Florida serving a year of probation on a separate check fraud conviction. Authorities are keeping her whereabouts confidential for her safety.

Anthony’s acquittal caused a national uproar, with people protesting their displeasure with the verdict both publicly and through social media.

Cindy Anthony said that while she believes her granddaughter drowned, she didn’t believe defense attorney Jose Baez’s assertion that George Anthony was there or helped cover up the death. She, too, said she thinks Casey knew where Caylee was buried and that is what upsets her most today.

“I believe Casey knew or had knowledge of placing Caylee there,” Cindy Anthony said. “...I’m not justifying what Casey did. But until I find out what happened to Caylee and what happened to Casey that day, I have to live with what I know.”

She also told McGraw that she prayed nightly during the past three years that if Casey was somehow responsible for Caylee’s death that she’d go to jail.

She said the fact that her daughter was acquitted tells her she wasn’t at fault.

“When that verdict came in and Casey was found not guilty, I got my answer,” Cindy Anthony said “...I’m not gonna be her judge and jury. God is her judge and he set her free.”

GA knows what his daughter is capable of and what she has done. He is a realist. So many people are so against him still. I don't understand that.
CA is an enabler and a liar. Maybe it is the only way she can rise out of bed in the AM. She will never be able to have true peace. Hopefully, someday GA will. The jury decided they liked KCA more than they liked GA. That I will never understand.
May God rest Caylee's soul.

$200,000 permanent Caylee Anthony memorial proposed
September 14, 2011 6:20 PM
WPEC - CBS12.com
ORLANDO, Fla. -- George and Cindy Anthony broke their silence with Dr. Phil on CBS 12 in a two part interview. It was their first interview since their daughter Casey was acquitted of first degree murder. Now, new controversy less than half of a mile from the Anthony home.

Caylee Anthony vanished three years ago. Her remains were found not far from her grandparent's home in Orlando. It is a place where sometimes hundreds of people visit everyday. Now a group wants to make the memorial permanent.

On July 17, a jury acquitted Orlando mom Casey Anthony of murdering her daughter Caylee, but convicted her of lying to police.

It marked the end of a three year media frenzy in the neighborhood where Caylee's remains were found. But it isn't stopping visitors coming by the little girl's memorial.

"We didn't expect all this. It's really amazing," said one visitor.

"It has not stopped, there has been ongoing traffic," said Eddie Delvalle of Bring Kids Home.

The victim's advocacy group, Bring Kids Home, is now operating the memorial on Suburban Drive and says 300 to 400 people visit every weekend. It's not an easy job.

"We've taken hundreds and hundreds of bags of trash out. The animals are rotting. There's spiders in them. It's going to continue to look like this, so we want to clean it up for the neighbors," said Delvalle.

The group has temporary use of land and says they are in the process of buying it. Artist renderings show their big $200,000 plans for the site. They are hoping to pay for everything with private and corporate donations.

"It'll be a place where people can walk through in a circular walkway. There will be a halo in the middle where Caylee will be," said Delvalle.

Lights will be left on. There's plans for a parking lot across the street and a wall of remembrance would highlight other missing kids cases. People who pass this spot everyday aren't so sure about making the memorial permanent.

"I would have to think about that," said one visitor.
Some think this is the perfect way to honor Caylee.
"Because I think that's what the little girl deserves," said another visitor.

Bring Kids Home says because of the story's national attention, this Florida neighborhood will forever be tied the Caylee Anthony tragedy.

"This is going to stay. It's a unique case. People will always affilate Orlando with the case," said Delvalle.
The group behind this proposed permament memorial says if the neighbors here don't want it they are prepared take it out of Orlando to somewhere in the state of Florida. If Florida doesn't want it they are prepared to take it to any city in the country ready to accept it.

The above post is off topic but so be it.

I have mixed emotions about this memorial. I still do not believe that the Ant's won't be in some way, compensated for this.

Also, if the neighbors don't want it and it IS across the street from an elementary (which If that were my grandchild attending that school I think I might take issue with it) I don't think moving it to another county or state would be a good idea. Isn't the whole point of said memorial to honor Caylee where her body was brutally dumped??

While watching the interviews, the thought occurred to me if the jury watched this. Many said they did not like George..I wonder what they think now. God had zero to do w/Casey getting off scott-free. It was the ignorance of the jury.

by cherylz Wed Sep 14, 2011 8:33 pm

No! I only read about it here. Maybe I will once it is out on a link. It all gives me such a pit in my stomach. We all really invested so much time and emotion into those 3 years. And, to have it turn out this way. The word "devastating" comes to mind.

Casey Anthony's acquittal on murder charges was a sign from God that her daughter Caylee's death was an accident, Cindy Anthony said in a television interview aired Wednesday.
Cindy Anthony, Casey's mother, told television host Dr. Phil McGraw that "there is something seriously wrong with my daughter." But she told McGraw, "I'm not going to be her judge and jury. God is her judge, and he let her free."
"I prayed to God for three years to find out what happened to Caylee, and I prayed during the whole trial that God would give me closure and if Casey was responsible for Caylee's death, that Casey would go to jail and be punished," Cindy Anthony said.
"And when that verdict came in and Casey was free, I got my answer -- that it was an accident," she said. "And I believe that justice for Caylee was when her mother walked."
But while she said she believes Caylee's death was an accident, she dismissed the defense's argument that her husband, George Anthony, helped cover up the girl's death.
"I don't believe that for a minute," Cindy Anthony said.
Caylee was last seen June 16, 2008, but was not reported missing until July 15, 2008. Her skeletal remains were found five months later, in the woods a short distance from the family's home in Orlando.
After a lengthy investigation that became a media frenzy, Casey Anthony was acquitted of first-degree murder in July, but found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to law enforcement officers. She has remained out of the public spotlight since her release from jail, but is on probation for a 2010 conviction on check fraud charges.
Cindy Anthony's comments were aired in the second part of a lengthy interview that began airing Tuesday on the syndicated "Dr. Phil" program. Cindy Anthony and her husband, George, told McGraw they differed on how their granddaughter died, with George Anthony saying he believed Casey had help disposing of Caylee's remains.
George Anthony said he suspects his daughter "or someone else that she was with" may have drugged Caylee to put her to sleep so Casey Anthony could "go out and have a good time," resulting in the girl's death.
Cindy Anthony expressed surprise at the assertion, telling McGraw, "It's the first time I've heard it, and we've been through this for three years."

Casey Anthony's father said in an interview on "Dr. Phil" that his daughter is not welcome in his Orlando home and would turn her away if she tried to visit.
When asked by host Phil McGraw if Casey Anthony would be welcome in his house, George Anthony replied, "Not while I was there, no," according to a transcript provided by the show.
Cindy Anthony said on the show that it would be difficult for Casey to return, given her relationship with her father.

Anyone think that Cindy will trade George for Casey? Maybe Cindy thinks that Casey would be her ticket to another grandchild?? The way she defended Casey on the show......it could be that Cindy hopes that Casey watches the show and Cindy's defense of Casey and her belief in her innocence will pave the way for Casey to come home.

Casey Anthony's parents offered differing views in a television interview with "Dr. Phil" host Phil McGraw about how they think their 2-year-old granddaughter died in 2008.
George Anythony said he believes his daughter or someone with her drugged Caylee and caused the girl's death, Reuters reports.

"I believe that Casey or someone else that she was with, possibly gave too much to Caylee, she fell asleep and didn't wake up. That's what I feel," George Anthony said on the "Dr. Phil" show, in an episode that aired on Wednesday.

Cindy Anthony said she believes that Caylee Anthony drowned, while her husband George Anthony was adamant that the toddler died by other means and that his daughter Casey Anthony had more intricate knowledge about how it happened.

I think Cindy would give the world and all to have Casey back home. She would drop kick George in a second.

She knows that and he knows that too.

The neighbors say he is a SOB. Hummm. Makes one wonder doesn't it.

By the way there is one more part to Dr. Phil interview. I believe it will be shown on Monday. Have to check my tv guide but I know there is another one.

I didn't plan on watching these interviews but they have given me a good look at the Anthonys. It is kind of like closure for me. They are so very wrong.

The Anthony family drama, which continued to play out today on “Dr. Phil,” was drawing more analysis on WOFL-Channel 35. The station aired Dr. Phil McGraw’s interview with George and Cindy Anthony, Casey’s parents.

Legal analyst Diana Tennis said that Cindy was sending a love letter to Casey through the TV interview. Tennis said Cindy was saying: ”I don’t know where you are. Your lawyers have kept us apart, but I am ready to forgive. I’m over it, let’s move on.’ ”

Tennis said the interview was “clearly Cindy asking her daughter to come back to her.”

Tennis was amazed that George and Cindy Anthony were sharing their differences about Caylee’s death before a national TV audience. “I don’t know what they’ve been talking about for three years,” Tennis said. “I don’t know how this relationship tolerates her [Cindy] writing a blank check basically to Casey.”

Body language expert Susan Constantine told WOFL that George and Cindy Anthony had come to a fork in the road. Constantine saw disgust in George about being in Cindy’s presence. “The relationship is at a dead end, it’s going to go over, it’s not going to last,” Constantine predicted.

Did anyone see Dr. Drew last night? He had a body language guy on and he was pointing out George's body language and pointing out one look that he said was a look of contempt directed at Cindy. If looks could kill.
If anything changed in the way I feel by watching the interview, I feel much more empathy for George. I just wish he would grow a pair and leave that woman so he could have a little more peace in his life.

Yes, he probably should leave CA. But, think of it he lost his g'daughter, his daughter and to now leave his wife...he is a torn man. I do feel such empathy for him. He has done the right thing. He knows. He is not forgiving KC. He is done w/ her. i do not blame him. I wish people would not categorize him in the same shoe as his wife. They are dealing with this in totally different ways. One of them can hold their head up high and have peace at night...at least w/ himself. JMHO.

I agree with you Cherylz! I feel like George has been holding his true feelings about what happen to Caylee inside for too long. Cindy said that's the first time in three years she's heard that from him but I think he's felt this way for a very long time. I'm glad he finally had the guts to tell Dr. Phil the truth! Cindy is Cindy and she'll never change just like her lying slut daughter. Their two peas in a lying pod. jmho

Lee is getting married soon - (next year?) I dont believe that George will leave Cindy - whatever type of relationship they have I cant see them splitting up. I dont see Casey wanting to go back to that house either.
The only way they can live is together - they have this foundation to milk - and other ways to make money off of dead Caylee - I dont see George leaving her for what? a little one bedroom apartment and live by himself. No he will put up with Cindy just so he can continue to do nothing but what he wants to do.

"And when that verdict came in and Casey was free, I got my answer -- that it was an accident," she said. "And I believe that justice for Caylee was when her mother walked."
But while she said she believes Caylee's death was an accident, she dismissed the defense's argument that her husband, George Anthony, helped cover up the girl's death.
"I don't believe that for a minute," Cindy Anthony said.
Caylee was last seen June 16, 2008, but was not reported missing until July 15, 2008. Her skeletal remains were found five months later, in the woods a short distance from the family's home in Orlando.
After a lengthy investigation that became a media frenzy, Casey Anthony was acquitted of first-degree murder in July, but found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to law enforcement officers. She has remained out of the public spotlight since her release from jail, but is on probation for a 2010 conviction on check fraud charges.
Cindy Anthony's comments were aired in the second part of a lengthy interview that began airing Tuesday on the syndicated "Dr. Phil" program. Cindy Anthony and her husband, George, told McGraw they differed on how their granddaughter died, with George Anthony saying he believed Casey had help disposing of Caylee's remains. Of course he feels someone may have helped her. Its easier to believe that than it is to imagine Casey carrying that bundle that was Caylee, and unceremoniously dumping her in the woods. **NO BURIAL**, remember, although they did refer to her being 'buried in the woods'.
George Anthony said he suspects his daughter [b]"or someone else that she was with" may have drugged Caylee to put her to sleep so Casey Anthony could "go out and have a good time," resulting in the girl's death.It's easier to think she was drugged and died than it is to imagine Casey strangled her or some other violent death. I think thats where this whole drug/ chloroform thing comes from. I think the chloroform was from CA & Georges copious cleaning of her car trunk with a myriad of cleaning products.
Cindy Anthony expressed surprise at the assertion, telling McGraw, "It's the first time I've heard it, and we've been through this for three years."

BBM by me, RED is my opinion only. Just wanted to add while its upsetting they are only making Casey responsible for $97k, at least they decided she was responsible for SOMETHING. I really expected the lying slut to get off scott free. Of course, collecting this money is another matter, as the courts have deemed she 'cannot' work while shes in hiding and on probation. Ugh, that makes me sick. Add to that her IRS problems.

That was the first time CA had heard GA's theory of what happened?! What do they talk about? It must be like two strangers living in the same house. I think GA has been afraid to "ruffle CA's feathers" and has just gone along with whatever she said. Wonder what it's like in their house now since he spoke up at the interview...I despise both of them, but GA has obviously faced reality much better than CA. He has in the past and is now trying to hold KC accountable for her actions. That's why she(KC) didn't want him moving back in after the separation. What a messed up family, messed up mainly by CA!

I agree with all you said and would only add that perhaps the interview was Georges first opportunity to speak with Cindy having to listen to what he has to say. Maybe at home she just says "Oh, George, shut up". ruled

You do have to wonder what the hell they have been discussing for the past 3+ years, eh? Would like to be a fly on their wall at home.

Just saw NG dancing on JVM, a "sneak peek" at her and her partner...she reminds me of Henrietta Hippo or Miss Piggy twirling around. Jus sayin'. Sorry in advance to all here that love NG. Obviously, I don't.

I didn't watch the Dr. Phil's two-day interview with George and Cindy Anthony for a number of reasons: because they make me ill (all three of them), because I knew there would be nothing but more lies to be told, and because I didn't want to contribute to the fame or fortune of any of them. But, most of all, because it was a shameless sham.

Most everyone who watched was curious to see if Dr. Phil would manage to corner the Anthonys, get them to break, to slip up, to finally admit to knowing more than they did before, during, and after the trial. Promos for the show promised "surprises" that we wouldn't want to miss. Hogwash. There was no way anything all that revealing could ever have happened during the interview because the interview was fixed from the start.

Think about it. The Anthonys weren't about to take a chance on spilling any beans; they didn't have to put themselves at risk just to make the bucks. Dr. Phil and the Anthonys' attorney, Mark Lippman, made sure everyone would go home happy–at least everyone who was going to make money from this charade. Their "admissions" are still self-serving lies and half truths that benefit them and only them.

First of all, that show wasn't live. It was taped. And it was taped in a private location (note the secluded living room setting) without a studio audience. That means all the questions can be planned out ahead of time with both parties knowing what was going to be asked and how they would be answered. I would be surprised if there wasn't a condition in the contract that stated the Anthonys would have to approve the final product before it was aired. And there was no studio audience to be a witness to what was actually said and attest to what was deleted from the final product, so it was a pretty safe game for the Anthonys to play.

Believe me, taped shows are cleaned up and edited before they hit the airwaves. I have been on Dr. Phil's show and I can tell you what I said on the show didn't show up on air. I was actually the "big" guest on his show that day, starting out the discussion, just the two of us talking and then the other guests joining in later. But that is not what anyone saw. Oddly, I vanished out of the front of the show and appeared for just a couple of statements in the middle of the panel discussion. I was none too happy considering the effort it took me to fly to California and back for no pay just to do the show. I have no idea why I was edited out but what Dr. Phil said in his speech at the end of the show sounded an awful lot like what I said at the beginning.

I also got a major snip during the show I taped with Dr. Oz as well. I was asked what kind of woman abandons her children to help a killer escape from prison and commit crimes with him. I looked the family in the eye and said, "A psychopath," and followed this up with a discussion of how the woman likely manipulated everyone around her as she traveled through life. The other guest disagreed with me, softening his take on the woman by telling the family that she likely became so smitten with the man that she lost control of her emotions. When the show aired, everything I said had vanished and the tone of the show was very forgiving. I haven't been asked back since.

However, there are exceptions. I did quite a few taped shows for Montel Williams and I never had anything I said cut, even if it was controversial. I have to give a lot of credit to him and his producers that they allowed the viewers to see the show that was shot, not some watered-down version of the discussion.

And that is what Dr. Phil gave America with his phony interview of the Anthonys; a staged event that brought his show high ratings and the Anthonys a nice deposit in their (oh, excuse me, their organization's) bank account. We aren't told how much they got for their performance because Dr. Phil knows we would become livid if we found out the actual number of zeroes that was on the check handed over to them (think 6).

The viewers were duped. There never was a "no-holds-barred" interview with Cindy and George. The viewers are the losers and the Anthonys and Dr. Phil are the winners. Dr. Phil should have been ashamed of putting these people on his show, he should have been ashamed that he staged this event, and the Anthonys should have been ashamed to show their faces in public again. But, hey, there's money to be made, so the hell with decency, right? Caylee may be dead, but she's a gift that keeps on giving, and Casey and those people who created her, and all the rest of the morally bankrupt parasites, keep on receiving.

That means all the questions can be planned out ahead of time with both parties knowing what was going to be asked and how they would be answered.

I don't think that is correct. I may not have seen the whole interview for either day but what I have seen Dr Phil did catch them by surprise. I just watched a clip where CA was talking about times in the last 3 yrs where she would have smiled or laughed then to have it blasted all over the media would that make her guilty? Dr Phil says "Cindy but you were not responsible for Caylee death" Some thing like that any way. Cindy was speechless for a few minutes. The look on her face was priceless.

I think the fact the interview was done w/out an audience says a lot. I would have loved it if audience members could have asked questions.

I DO think most of this was planned out but due to some of Cindy's responses, DP came back w/his knee jerk responses.

by HippyChick2 Thu Sep 15, 2011 9:09 pm

Not to mention the teasers prior to the interview being shown, and Dr Phil dragging the whole thing out over several days for the maximum exposure. How much did Dr Phil make off the death of Caylee in the way of increased viewership (ratings)? Disgusting.

Dr. Phil McGraw offers the third part of his interview with George and Cindy Anthony on Monday.

The couple will discuss the trial of their daughter Casey Anthony, who was acquitted in July of murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee. One highlight, from the preview: McGraw will ask Cindy Anthony about allegations that she perjured herself. “Dr. Phil” airs at 3 p.m. weekdays on WOFL-Channel 35.

I heard from many readers who rejected the view of Bill Shine, Fox News executive vice president of programming. He offered a theory to me about why the Anthony saga gripped America: “It was a story, in terms of Americans and people who work in news, that surprised everybody. The reason I think it became what it was is because ‘Oprah’ is off the air. People across the country, especially many women, were searching for a story in that time period.”

But many readers told me, after I posted that comment, that the Anthony trial and its outcome were more than just another TV program. Many readers say it was a story about justice, families and responsibility — or the lack thereof — and a far bigger deal than “Oprah.”

Of course, the TV appearances by George and Cindy Anthony might have confused matters. Many programs interviewed the Anthonys about their grief, but that wasn’t the main issue in a little girl’s death.

Still, we’ll listen to learn if George and Cindy can provide any insight about the Anthony family. What a strange clan. I keep wondering: Do the appearances by George and Cindy shed light or muddy the issues?

The Anthony story is going to be with us a long time, as the good ratings for “Dr. Phil” suggest.

I doubt this story will be with us for a long time. I think people will move on as so many other cases need attention.

Here's a clip from Dr. Phil's show today. He's asks Cindy and George if they would let their lying slut daughter babysit if they have another grandchild.

ABC, Caylee and Casey Anthony, Dr. Phil, George and Cindy Anthony, NBC, The View, WFTV, WOFL — posted by halboedeker on September, 19 2011 8:50 AM

“Today” really missed an opportunity this morning. The NBC program had Jose Baez on as a guest. Later, “Today” previewed a “Dr. Phil” interview with George Anthony, and Casey Anthony’s father said he never liked Baez.

But Matt Lauer didn’t ask Baez about George’s comment. Perhaps the women of “The View” will quiz Baez about that when he is a guest this morning at 11 a.m. on ABC (WFTV-Channel 9 locally).

Baez was there to discuss the case of Gary Giordano, who is being held in Aruba in the disappearance of Robyn Gardner.

On “Today,” Kerry Sanders previewed the “Dr. Phil” interview, which airs at 3 p.m. today on WOFL-Channel 35. George Anthony shares his fury about Baez’s allegations that George sexually molested Casey Anthony. Casey was acquitted in July of murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

“I wanted to go and jump over this little railing [in the courtroom],” George tells Dr. Phil McGraw. “I wanted to confront Mr. Baez and what he said about me. I haven’t cared for him from day one.”

The molestation allegations destroyed him, George said. During the trial, George quickly denied them.

McGraw’s verdict: “He did not molest his daughter, and I don’t even think it’s a close call.”

McGraw also asks George and Cindy Anthony, Caylee’s grandparents, if they would be comfortable with Casey babysitting any children of Casey’s brother, Lee.

“I think I would,” Cindy says. “And I think Lee would allow her to babysit as well.”

George adds, “That’s a decision for Lee and his future wife.” George says he doesn’t think he can have a relationship with Casey.

“I do love my daughter, I don’t like what she’s done to this family,” George says.

Also on “Today,” Judge Jeanine Pirro said of Cindy Anthony: “I think that Cindy apologizes and excuses everything. I don’t think she’s on this planet.”

How long are they going to continue to "take care" of Casey I wonder. Whoever "they" are. I mean things for Casey as far as the public are going to take years to change or at least fade from memory. She obviously cannot work - the lawsuits are piling up on her, is Baez or Mason going to be financially responsible for her for years to come? I really cannot believe a book is going to come from Casey or even an interview.
