OK - Anthony's on Dr. Phil again today. Here's your recap!
CA says that Baez called her in for private meeting. Says Casey said that she wanted CA to know how Caylee died and Baez gave drowning story. Couldn't believe Casey put them through this and over 3 years didn't come forth and say something. CA asked her "Why now?" and Baez said he wanted to tell ehr but Casey said no. Jose said hse could tell whoever she watned but Casey wanted her to be first to know.
GA says he didn't believe drowning story because why wait all this time to say that. Says he still doesn't believe it. He has not believed anything the defense told him and believes he was being played. Could not understand why he wasn't invited to private meeting. Was told because of the way he'd react.
GA denies molestation and said it was a set up by defense. Said first time he heard about that was in a letter that was released to another inmate. Said something like that could've happened to her by either Lee or GA. GA said he felt he was selected as a fall guy and was targeted. GA had no idea that Baez was going to accuse him of molestation in the opening statement. GA said the hurt and anger is still inside of him. He wanted to jump over the railing and confrot Baez about what he said. GA didn't like Baez from day 1. He felt Baez was trying to destroy him. That's why he told Baez that he will not let Baez take the joy away from him.
CA believes that GA did NOT molest Casey. Said it was not truthful.
CA says she doesn't believe the acquittals were based on the untruths about GA. CA says state did not prove their case and that's why Casey is free.
Phil: "Do you know to the absolute core of your heart that this man never molested your daughter?"
CA: "Absolutely because if I knew that he wouldn't be sitting here today because I would've killed him myself or had him arrested."
Phil calls her a Pollyanna because she turns a deaf ear to those things.
(OK - now I want to find Baez and kick him in the nuts and I want to b-slap Casey for doing that to her father)
GA: "Casey would've been mentally destroyed by the prosecution. They really would've grilled her like ... It would've been interesting to have her answer some of the things of the particular date of June 16, the explanation of what happened on that particular day, what time this kind of stuff happened, who was there, what was done".
GA: "I wanted to jump up and say I had nothing to do with this" (when asked about his being there when Caylee was found". How could i have pulled her out of the pool, handed her to Casey and gone off to work that day?" Says he would've called 911.
GA says an accidental drowning would've never been a jail sentence.
CA says if she was a juro,s he wouldn't have bought that part of the drowning (GA yelling at Casey, not calling 911, being arrested for child negligence) as both would've been found negligent as both were home during a drowning.
Phil asks was this jury duped by the GA being at drowning theory? CA there was more evidence of drowning than or murder. Baez was running out of more people to blame besides Casey. CA mad that they involved GA in drowning scenario.
CA says GA was NOT there when Caylee allegedly drowned in the pool.
GA says he wanted Casey to be held responsible for his granddaughter.
CA says GA wanted retribution for what Casey did to him, wanted to see her pay. GA says no, he wanted her held accountable for what happened to Caylee. GA said he never would know what happened to Caylee since she was found not guilty.
GA disappointed in verdict, CA elated by the verdict.
GA does not think the relationship between him and Casey will be nothing but strained.
Now Phil is talking one on one with Cindy ....
CA says she had no doubts about GA. It's been difficult to watch him go from strong to broken overnight. Casey stopped Baez from going after Lee, according to CA. CA thinks Casey regrets what defense did to her father. (yeah -- I dout that) CA did not believe GA had affair with Crystal Holloway.
Phil asking about chloroform search. CA says she didn't lie. CA says she looked up chlorophyll and it prompted her to go to chloroform. States story about dog eating bamboo. Says she did not purjure herself. She said she would swear on Caylee's name that she did not purjure herself.
CA says they heard from Casey via Baez. That she loves them and when the time is right she will talk to them. CA wants to hug her, tell her she loves her. Says Casey knows CA is mad at her. CA wants to see her. It hurts CA that people hate Casey so much and thinks it's unfair. CA hopes Casey gets therapy that she needs, hopes that she can move on, be happy in a career or family setting. Wants her to get married and be a mom again (if she's healthy).
If Casey showed up on the doorstep .... CA says Lee & CA would find a place for her but wouldn't moving home is possible. GA says she is not welcome in the home as long as he's there! (Go GA!) Says he couldn't do that.
The hardest thing CA did was sit there and listen to what they said about GA.
Dr. Phil thinks Casey will mess up again.
Talked about Caylee's Law and getting people to face severe consequences for not reporting a missing child or a death in a timely manner. Hopes she and GA will be inspiration for others.
Phil tells CA 7 GA that people do not believe Casey had a reckoning with this trial. (Gee -- like they don't know that?)
Phil wants to know if we changed our mind on how we perceive CA & GA.
So, Phil ... no, I have not changed my mind. I feel horrible for GA and what that bee of a daughter put him through. And I loathe CA even more than I thought I could because she is just an enabler and will always continue to be. CA can't see the trees through the forest.
With that said, I would LOVE to hear from Lee and the rest!!!
