The "Accident that was Covered Up" Defense is Coming Apart

During the trial--and in-between on In Session--we've been watching the videotaped jail house conversations between Casey and her parents, Casey and just Mom, and Casey and just Dad.  These tapes make it pretty impossible to believe that a) there was an accident that was covered up by either parent; and b) equally impossible to believe that either parent KNEW Caylee was dead.. Both parents are asking, pestering, cajoling, and even manipulating Casey, to get her to talk, to say what they know.  George is highly believable talking about wanting to see Caylee, wanting to hear her say "Jo Jo..  Jo Jo swim, Jo Jo walk..Jo Jo, take a ride in the wagon. . I'm going to do everything I can [to enjoy and have fun with Caylee], more than I ever did before." 

To think he would refer to he and his granddaughter swimming if he was covering up a drowning.  That he would reminisce in the way he is here, and express hope of seeing her again soon, if he knew she was dead.  

In fact, Casey's father suggested that she could talk to someone in law enforcement and tell him what she knows.  Even, he said, without your lawyer, if you want.  Why would he encourage a meeting with law enforcement if he was dovering up a death, even accidental?

Both parents are very high profile here with the media, connecting with organizations who look for missing children, raising reward for info money, going on Nancy Grace, going on TV, speaking to People magazine.  This is hardly the behavior of people covering up an accidental death of a child.  

George Anthony may come off as less likable when he testifies during the trial, but I think it's pretty tough to have to get on the stand after your daughter's defense accuses you of molesting here from age 8 on.  And yet, it's also tough to testify at your daughter's death penalty trial.  No matter how feels about what she's done, it's agonizing to be in the position of sending his daughter to her death, and same goes, of course, for her mom and brother.  

However, George Anthony was a police officer.  There is simply NO REASON that he would not call the PD in an accident.  Not if it really was an accident. Maybe if it was a murder that he was trying to cover up.  But if it were an accident, he would trust that the forensics would show it were an accident.  

As for the molestation charges, I noticed that when George Anthony is asked, Did you  molest your daughter, Casey is listening and shaking her head during that question-- as if to say, no no no, he didn't do it.  Stunning.
