One important thing that we all questioned months ago and Russ made note of it. “When George picked the car up at the tow yard, why didn’t he call 911 when he smelled the decomposition.”

THIS is something that has bothered me, but I think that George was dominated by Cindy (henpecked). Neither one would want to believe the worst. Cindy had to go with him to pick up the car -- to bring the money in cash -- nearly $500. She was already furious at the cost and tried to argue with the tow yard. I think that Goerge just split, using his job as an excuse, knowing that Cindy would handle the rest. I think that both would want to investigate a little further to try to find a reasonable investigation before calling in the police. This is like a battered woman who does not call the police because her batterer might lose his job and leave her with no means of support. Not rational, but it happens all the time.

Your right during the 31 days, George said he wanted to track down Caylee and Casey. Cindy told him to stay out of it, SHE would handle Casey.

I hope George has grown a pair after this never ending nightmare.

George testified he was relieved when the trunk was opened and there were no dead body(ies) in the trunk. But it was that same day that Cindy called the police to report a missing child and that the car smelled like there had been a dead body in the trunk. There were three phone calls.

And it was this same day that Cindy on the phone with ‘HELP’, that overheard Casey tell her brother that the child had been missing for 31 days. And told the operator she had just overheard Casey saying this and then Casey gets on the phone and tells the operator that she was using her resources to ‘find’ the missing child.

The evidence demonstrated that NOBODY else but Casey saw that child after June 16.

When this alert was first issued, it was George that was ‘working’ with the authorities trying to figure out what happened to the child. And there was a recorded visit with George at the jail trying to get Casey to talk to investigators presented as evidence.

It was not until approximately 3 months ago that George became aware the defense was going to make him the scapegoat for why Casey did what she did. AND he was torn between defending himself and providing the testimony that would demonstrate that Casey did exactly what she was accused of doing. The jury apparently bought into the perversion of lying accusation of child molestation in opening arguments by the defense, without ever having to be required to PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt George ever put his ‘’’’’ into Casey's mouth and then sent her on to school.

I agree. Didn’t we hear testimony (I heard it somewhere) that he went to work and left these tasks to Cindy? I think deep inside he knew it meant something really bad, but not the specifics, and couldn’t deal with it. He just left it all up to Cindy to handle.

“When George picked the car up at the tow yard, why didn’t he call 911 when he smelled the decomposition.”

Because Cindy was talking with and texting with Casey daily. Casey was alive and I’m sure in his wildest dreams, he couldn’t imagine his granddaughter dead.

He doubted himself and let it go.

Here's another explanation.....George said (I believe...or someone else testified to this) that he was afraid he would find his granddaughter and daughter in the trunk. He was relieved when they were not in there and saw a bag of trash instead. A mind can work tricks on you when you're preparing for the worst and then you are given hope that it may not be as bad as you think. The mother, Cindy, is the one who called 911 knowing something was off and claimed just that.....that the trunk smelled like a dead body.

Here's Lee's testimony to LE, CNN

........"LEE ANTHONY, CASEY ANTHONY`S BROTHER: I was at my mom`s house within five minutes. When I arrived, go through the garage door like I typically do. There was -- the only vehicle in there was my -- the vehicle drove -- driven by my sister, the white Pontiac. The trunk was open. The windows were rolled down to what I assume ventilate the horrible smell that I had just smelled for the first time, and went inside the house to see if anybody was there. Nobody was.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The smell filled up the garage.

LEE ANTHONY: Yes, it was -- it was -- it hit you like a wave (ph). I mean, it was -- it was whatever it was, was very potent.

My mother and father told me that my dad actually drove the car back, because my mother was talking about how she didn`t know how my dad survived it because the smell was so bad.

(LAUGHTER)".......
