Caylee's Grandparents To Speak Out

By
CBSNews
(CBS)  The grandparents of Caylee Anthony, the Florida tot whose mother is accused of her murder, will appear Wednesday and Thursday in an exclusive two-part interview on The Early Show. It is their first interview since their granddaughter's body was found.

George and Cindy Anthony will talk with co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez on April 22 and 23, about the investigation into their granddaughter's death, and the timeline of events leading up to the arrest of their daughter, Casey, for the crime. The Anthonys also will talk about how their daughter is handling the prosecution's recent decision to seek the death penalty in her case.

Casey Anthony, 23, faces charges of first-degree murder in Florida.

Anthony has claimed that she left her 2-year-old daughter with a baby sitter last June and that she was kidnapped, though she didn't report Caylee missing for another month.

Cindy Anthony initially made the report to authorities that she hadn't seen Caylee for a month and that her daughter's car smelled like death.

Casey Anthony was arrested in October, as hundreds of volunteers searched for some trace of little Caylee.

A utility worker finally found Caylee's body in December in the woods near where she lived with her mother and grandparents.

Casey Anthony's trial is tentatively set for October.

Does a *victim* lie, obstruct justice, tamper with evidence and committ perjury? how does this help the murdered two year old?!

Caylee was/is the only victim. No one fought for her. The A's continue to disrespect Caylee,even in death.

If only they would fight for Caylee as hard as they fight for crasey.

I can't believe that CBS would lower themself to scraping the bottom of the barrell interviewing the Anthony's, these people have absolutely nothing of value to say, they contribute nothing positive to other crime victims, they have no words of wisdom to impart(in fact, all their words are lies and excuses). They are a sham and a mockery to other crime victims, CBS didn't have the class that Oprah and the Melanie Rieger Conference had to cancel the Anthony's. I applaud them for their wisdom, and most of all for their sensitivity to other crime victims who work hard and give so much of themself to helping other crime victims, not going on a "poor casey" media tour and lashing out at people and obstructing the investigation, and lying over and over and over again to law enforcement, in depositions and to the public and the media (yeah, they lied straight to cbs this morning) what a total suck up cbs was to them. and cbs is NOT getting positive feedback for this interview, most people turned it off, refused to watch, cbs needs to get a clue, noone wants to hear from the lying, denying Anthony's any more. We're done with them.

Here is a page from Cindy's Myspace that has been posted on numerous sites. Maybe Cindy should refresh her memory about the events when Caylee was "missing".

*July 3, 2008 * note the date......

Mood: Distraught

"She came into my life unexspectedly, just as she has left me. This precious little angel from above gave me strength and unconditional love. Now she is gone and I don?t know why. All I am guilty of is loving her and providing her a safe home. Jealousy has taken her away. Jealousy from the one person that should be thankfull for all of the love and support given to her. A mother?s love is deep, however there are limits when one is betrayed by the one she loved and trusted the most. A daughter comes to her mother for support when she is pregnant, the mother says without hesitation it will be ok. And it was. But then the lies and betrayal began. First it seemed harmless, ah, love is blind. A mother will look for the good in her child and give them a chance to change. This mother gave chance after chance for her daughter to change, but instead more lies more betrayal. What does the mother get for giving her daughter all of these chances? A broken heart. The daughter who stole money, lots of money, leaves without warning and does not let her mother now speak to the baby that her mother raised, fed, clothed, sheltered, paid her medical bills, etc. Instead tells her friends that her mother is controlling her life and she needs her space. No money, no future. Where did she go? Who is now watching out for the little angel? "

This is so sick. The Anthony Family should be out there creating victim sites and should stop allowing Casey to munipulate them any further.
I think Mr. Baez has sent them on this BS publicity stunt to show that Casey was this loving daughter.
Stole from grandparents, friends, drugs, murder-quite the charmer!

Why on earth would Cindy have been suicidal in late July/August? According to the lies spewing out of her & her husband, at that time she believed Caylee was still alive!? She should have been out searching for her grandaughter instead of writing suicide notes. These people make a mockery of all the true suffering crime victims out there. They should not be considered crime victims when they are supporting/assisting the very one charged with that crime! At no time have they spoken out for little Caylee!

WOW! The A's really changed their "tone" from the way they were with LE & ZG's attorneys.

I did NOT watch CBS pander to these enablers & their scumbag daughter but I did watch the A's BS on UTUBE. It's absolutely disgusting & pathetic how they lie and ask the public to make crasey & themselves the victims. They act like Caylee was a goldfish who just lost the survival game of life or death.

As for Cindy saying that SHE was going to kill herself back in July, why would she off herself then? when she told everyone that Caylee was alive but missing. hmmmmmm....

G&C could off themselves tomorrow and I wouldn't give two sh*ts! they are useless. I am not a fan of liars and ppl who obstruct justice,tamper with evidence & committ perjury.

As for crasey,put her in the gp and let the other prisoners take care of the bully ;)

Thanks again CBS! for your bleeding heart(s) for everyone but the victim. sad-

I am sure this crap on CBS was pre-recorded. All our screaming is not going to do any good at all. I bet if someone could check the A's are at home. Maybe we should all demand time, for someone that can come and present the truth, the other side of the story. It is only RIGHT and FAIR to Caylee. DId you people forget what this story is all about? A DEAD two year old child. Murdered by her own mother. WTG CBS get them in and out of town as fast as possible.

Here let me make the plea to help find the real killer. IF they are so damn sure Casey did not kill Caylee why, why, why are they not screaming at the top of their lungs to help find out who really did it. Oh, wait. she is already in jail. Maybe that is why.

I am waiting for tomorrow, for the big show. I want to hear how many times they went out looking for Caylee. What would that be, NONE. Maybe if they had made an effort to walk down the block they may have found her. Be sure and support their sham and new scheme of being a voice for kids. They cannot even speak for their granddaughter who is dead. They are tooo damn busy trying to get their worthless, lying, tramp, drunk. murdering daughter out of a death penalty. Cindy, George who is going to be sitting on the state side for Caylee during the trial? All the rest of the world looks like. I despise you both you make me want to puke. You cannot tell the truth on anything.
