When Baez started Casey’s defense with that ugly charge of child molestation, it was like dumping a truckload of toxic waste on George. George never could adequately defend himself against the charges. The charges were so ugly that they really stuck. From then on it was all about what is that evil George up to.
The defense had to put a reason out there for Casey’s bizarre behavior- abuse is one that most of us have been programmed to accept, especially sexual abuse. I have no idea if she was abused in any way by anyone but I know I was wondering how she ended up with the personality she has. She either has some sort of mental illness or she has had some sort of off the wall upbringing.
