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.
I suspect like most parents that the dad was the disciplinarian and the mom the nurturer. They probably played out a version of good cop/bad cop...with the roles reversing on occasion. These parents either raised a sociopath or have had to deal with one for years. Talk about stress. Perhaps Cindy couldn’t give up on her child so she let George off the hook and he let her. They had to be careful, as now there was Caylee to think of. And I am sure Casey played that angle for all it’s worth.
Since there was no evidence presented of child molestation, I am going to discount all that as a way to get Casey off. Jose Baez is not above a few lies to get Casey off. And certainly Casey isn’t either as all she did was lie.
