I have really tried to maintain an open mind throughout the Caylee Anthony case, and I have really tried to be supportive in my thoughts of the Anthony’s. Sometimes, I like the rest of you, was cussing mad, and couldn’t comprehend how they did things that they have done. For instance, how they were able to sit behind that murdering bitch during the last motions hearing without cold cocking her a good one in the back of the head. I wouldn’t have been able to show so much restraint. But, then I remind myself that I have no clue what this family is feeling. I know how I felt for the nearly 6-months that Caylee was classified as “missing”. My heart ached for the family, and at times I was enraged. I also know how I felt that December day when it was learned a child’s remains were found 15 houses from the Anthony’s home and presumably they were that of Caylee, and I know the day that they confirmed the identity and having the wind knocked out of my sails all over again. She wasn’t mine, but like many, I grieved for her. America had grown to love this little girl, and at times we wondered whether we loved and cared for her more than her own mother did.
I know that Cindy and George Anthony loved Caylee with all their heart; much more than her mother did. Their love for her has never been a secret, and I can’t imagine how they are able to move on with their lives minus Caylee and that little bitch sits in her jail cell living and breathing. It hardly seems fair if you ask me. Casey has left many people broken in her wake. Her father is forever broken, and as such decided that he didn’t want to live without Caylee in his life. George attempted suicide, but not before he wrote a letter to his family. The note that George left behind is said to be 5-pages long and he left it to be read after he had committed suicide. Thankfully, he was found and taken to a hospital for treatment before he was able to complete his plan.
That note is now the center of controversy. As part of the investigative documents that the state will release, the note is but one part of an additional 1,000 pages. The Anthony’s attorney has filed a motion to stop the release of the note to the public. I can’t say that I blame him for wanting to keep it private. I feel like releasing it would embarass George even more. I wouldn’t want to read it. I would feel as if I were imposing or looking into a room that I wasn’t supposed to be in. It would be strange for me to read the words of an emotionally broken man, knowing that the words were never meant for me or the public. I don’t see what good the note would do to be released, and rally behind Brad Conway in his attempt to keep it private. No good can come of the letter; only more humiliation for this man who is already broken. I know there are some who will want to read it, but I honestly don’t think I can if it is released. I would feel as if I were intruding into a very personal and private matter.
So, what do you feel about the note? Do you think it should be released, and if so…will you read it?
O/T – the Canadian Bacon Hell’s Angels have not yet arrived to beat the snot out of me. I think maybe they got lost. *Right turn, Clyde*. LMAO Thanks for bringing that movie up. haha!!

Wow, this is the first I’ve heard of this.
No, I wouldn’t want to know the contents for any prurient reason. However, if the contents of the letter have any evidentiary bearing on the case (IE, if he divulged information he knew to be true about Casey or Kaylee) then those portions should be admissible in court and thus would be subject to release under the FOIA and Sunshine laws. I think irrelevant portions should be redacted for privacy. In essence these were the last words of a man who was ready to die.
This family has been so vilified it is just sad. Unfortunately I think a great deal of the “evidence” released is purely for entertainment value for all those old biddies who really are getting off on this case and the death of a child. They pore over this case obsessively.
Thanks as always for a though-provoking entry.

I wouldn’t want to read it either. I pray Conway keeps it out of the courts, I don’t see what good it would do. Just knowing he was in so much emotional pain he now longer wanted to live is enough. I can’t see how it would help or hinder either side. But like Tval, if there IS anything of value to the case, all but that part should be blacked out.

I agree with SoNoFaBiTcH, and Just One Of The Angels- anything relevant to the prosecution of Casey should be allowed-and only what is relevant. This man wrote that note from the bottom of his pain. To me, it is personal and private, directed by grief and emotion. It was to his wife, and to his children, and the people he felt he let down. He wanted to join Caylee, and in his pain and grief, wrote what his heart felt. I do not feel his heart needs to be on display to the world. I think all these survivors have left is grief; let them retain a few shreds of dignity. Let them attempt to resume their life, minus two people they loved very much, no matter what WE think of Casey, she was their daughter and they loved her. Time to pull a privacy curtain now-their part is over, except to try and deal with their pain and go on living. None of this is about George, or Cindy, or even Lee anymore-it is about Caylee. and Casey. Justice for Caylee would also include respecting the grief of the people she loved the most.

I can’t see any reason why this letter should be released. It is a complete invasion of privacy.
SoNoFa, FOIA pertains to Federal government documents, not State. Also, there are exceptions to FOIA. One of them is the following:
(b)(7) EXEMPTION 7 Investigatory Records Compiled for Law Enforcement Purposes. As amended, this exemption protects from disclosure “records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes.
A copy of the Florida Sunshine Law, as prepared by the state attorney general’s office, can be found here:
http://myfloridalegal.com/webf.....EGuide.pdf
Also, at this link, you can see some of the exceptions:
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Sta.....Sec071.HTM
Per 119.071(2)(c)1, it appears that information pertaining to active criminal investigations is exempt.
Of course, that wouldn’t make the information exempt from disclosure to Bias (pun intended). And it would show that Bias is lower than low if he leaked this letter to the press.
The police have much more information than they are releasing to the public. They shouldn’t have to tip their hand, so to speak, just to satisfy John Q. Public’s curiosity.

I think this should not be released at all. I’m sure George is still trying to get a grip on his life, and releasing it would only hurt this broken man more.

I also agree that the letter should not be released to the public. Seeing them at the motion hearing the other day on TV was very painful for me….. two pitifully sad and broken people.

If, in that letter, George Anthony disclosed something regarding the criminal acts of his daughter….well, there won’t be much choice. If Not, let this man be.

The hell with their feelings and allowing them to continue to coverup for Casey. What about Caylee’s feelings when she was gasping for her last breath with the duct tape across her mouth. Some seem to forget who the victim was here. Make an example of them to send a message to other parents who would coverup for their child that it is their duty to protect these innocent children.Had they done their job Caylee may still be alive.

I certainly agree that the Anthony’s have put more energy into covering up for Casey, than any other endeavor.
However, releasing this letter for public consumption is hardly going to “make an example” of them. And yes, they’ve done a piss poor job at parenting. But, releasing George’s note is going to do NOTHING to prevent any parents from instinctively believing what their lying children may convince them of…
George’s pain is so apparent in the interviews with LE, and I think none of us were a bit surprised when he(possibly?)tried to end his life. I just cannot imagine how those people wake up and face each new day, knowing Caylee is gone, knowing Casey took her away from them, and knowing that WE ALL KNOW IT TOO.
Please, dont interpret this comment as some kind excuse or appreciation of George & Cindy, some of you have to read some really torturous things from me regarding them. I still cringe when I think of the ‘memorial’ for Caylee that wasnt. It was “The Anthony’s Love Casey” show and it sickened me.
Still, I kind of get it. KIND OF. I am a parent, my kids are not perfect and it sucks having to come to terms with that. But you love them. That must be the hardest, most difficult cross to bear, admitting to yourself, much less the world, that your little angel is a murderer.
If there is evidentiary value in that letter, we’ll all see it in due time, beyond that I dont want to. I shudder to think that people could possibly read some of the things I’ve written at low points in my life, and this is the lowest George will ever know.

Would I read it? Yes, as SuperSal said, it’s human nature, curiosity, hoping he did somehow implicate his killing daughter. Do I think it has anything to do at all with the case? No not really, but if there is information in there that will put Casey in jail for a long time, then yes that should be released. I feel for the grandparents, at once my feelings were sadness, but I keep coming back to my original thought…..they raised the monster that did this, they knew she was a nutjob, her Mother even told her friends that same thing, They enabled her to lie, cheat, steal and yes, get away with murder. I no longer have any feelings for the Anthonys, any of them, the only one I feel for is the precious Angel Caylee Marie, the rest will undoubtedly, go to hell someday, right where they belong. I do feel most people out there feel the way I do. The Anthony’s are reaping what they’ve sown. And so it goes…..

My husband and I were discussing just this very topic last night and I get up to read Princess is yet again on the same wave length!
I do not want to read George Anthony’s suicide note and I will not read it if it is made public. I agree with you, Princess, that it’s taking a man’s weakest, most vulnerable moment in his life, where he apparently poured his heart out in what he, at the time, felt would be his final words, and then making us all voyeurs into something that is quite frankly none of our business and an extremely personal, extremely raw moment meant only for his family. I fail to see what evidentiary value there is to releasing his note. Law enforcement has already said there was no acknowledgement of Casey’s guilt or anything of that nature in the note -- that’s good enough for me and that’s all I need to know about it.

I am probably in the minority here, and this is just my opinion, but I don’t believe George’s suicide attempt was serious. It sounds more to me like he was taking a day’s vacation from his life, and knew there would be hell to pay at home when he was done. He buys pizza and a 12 pack, consumes them, gets a room at a cheap motel, doesn’t consume the meds he brings…I’m not buying it. Of course none of us actually know what was in this man’s mind at the time.
I have little interest in the “suicide note” because I know that he defends his daughter in that note. I understand the denial, and I’m kind of tired of hearing the lame defenses he and his wife are spouting.

I mirror some thoughts already expressed here. I don’t see how anyone is entitled to view a note written by a man in his darkest most desperate hours. The only exception to that would be if the note contained information implying Casey’s guilt in the death of his beloved granddaughter. Casey is on trial here, not George. I see no purpose in releasing this mans private pain for the world to pick apart. Some things we’re just not meant to see. I think it was Princess who stated it would be like peeking into a room you’re not supposed to be in – That’s exactly how I’d feel, like if I caught my parents having sex 1. It’s horrifying 2. It’s none of my business.

I am still on the fence with George. Part of me agrees with you Princess and part of me also agrees with Becky. I am still not sure George ever intended to kill himself. What did he write in that letter? Was it his honest and true last thoughts and the TRUTH, or what he wanted the public to believe? I am not sure George was not going to sacrifice himself to try to save the family, IF he really intended to kill himself. I could be wrong, but I have to go by what my gut tells me. George knew that what he wrote would be released sooner or later. I think he wrote what he wanted people to know and to cover his family for any wrong doing. The letter will be released, if not now, it will be during court. I do want to know what George wrote, because I want to know if it was another A game, or whether he really intended to kill himself. I really think he tried to play everyone. I don’t have much sympathy for any of they A’s and I hope Casey burns in hell. Sometimes I feel sorry for the A’s because of the death of their granddaughter, but then when they defend and try to cover for their bitch daughter, I feel that compared to Casey, Caylee did not matter. My comment probably does not make any sense to most, but what the A’s do makes no sense either. Trying to figure out their actions, makes for major brain confusion.

AppleJack, I too get upset when they defend Casey. It pisses me off, but then I realize that even through she’s a murdering bitch, she is still someone’s daughter and sister. I have a hard time looking at her as a mother.
I get angry at the Anthony’s at times, but then I realize that I have absolutely NO idea what they are going through as I have never walked in their shoes. Do their actions tick me off sometimes? YEP! But, I still can’t help to feel sympathy and compassion for George when he wrote the words that would be left of him had he not been found alive. For me, that note is so personal and I just can’t see releasing it to the public.

The Anthonys have done things I did not understand and that made me angry but through it all I have tried to remind myself that I have NO idea what is really in their hearts, I am not God, and I have no idea how I would react in such a nightmarish situation. And neither does anyone who hasn’t gone through it. We can say how we think we would react, how we would wish we would react, but we do not know until, God forbid, such a thing happens to us.
Families of victims have gone into denial before on many levels, including denying aspects of the crime even if they had seen evidence of it in the autopsy and at one time knew it to be true…. in some cases denying the death even after the body is found and identified. And families of people who commit horrible crimes certainly sometimes have a difficult time believing the person could commit that because they’ve seen them in other circumstances -- they remember them as innocent babies -- they didn’t meet them the way the public did.
If this note has statements in it that are important evidence of Casey’s crimes, then it should be used at the trial, or else he should be questioned again and have the opportunity to go on the stand and tell the same evidence. But there is NO reason to release it now for the sake of public curiosity into a man’s darkest moments. Or to satisfy some people’s thirst for the Anthonys to suffer even more. And if it is released now, I will not read it or participate in any obsessive dissection of it.

I too, have mixed feelings. I’m not interested in seeing his suicide letter.
As long as it doesn’t have any kind of confessions or implications.
I don’t think it should not be released to the general public. What would be the point?
However, I am interested in something I heard on TV last night that -- something in George’s letter stating that he wanted to “buy a gun and teach some of Casey’s friends a lesson”. THAT bothers me!
Too many innocent people are having fingers pointed at them — and I just think it’s SO WRONG. God forbid George ACTED on his feelings — what a mess it — I don’t want to even THINK about it.

My thinking is that the only reason to release it would be that it had some insight into what happened. It can either incriminate someone, or place doubt in a Jury’s mind that he or Cindy had anything to do with it (if the defense decides to blame them). I would be perfectly fine if they decided to only release the part that has to do with this case -- But the whole thing does seem too excessive, especially if it turns out there is nothing about the case in it. I probably wont read it, but will get information from some of the discussions.

I think that if the prosecution has a letter in it’s hands that has evidence about Casey, then they should release ONLY the statements pertaining to that -- at the court hearing.
The rest of the letter needs to remain private and un-released. These are the thoughts and feelings of a defeated and broken man- Thank God he was brought back and is hopefully starting to heal. Thank God for a compassionate and caring lawyer Brad Conway. He is George’s friend and he really truly cares for George. Brad Conway is an unusual find, believe me!
I only hope Brad is successful in blocking this…the Sunshine Law is a pretty powerful venue.
And…no..I cannot read that missive if it is released….it is too sad…I just want to wish George all the good things to help him heal and grab some semblance of happiness in his life.

While I agree the note shouldnt be released. If it is released, I will be compelled to read it. And at the same time, have the perception enough-to have compasion for George while reading it. It is surely possible for some people to veiw things with such clarity that they can determine, what- if anything, would hope to walk away from it, thinking of what George was going thru. Nothing more, nothing less. Not alot of people can do that, not without freaking out and running wild with exaggerated fantasies. I hate that shit! Sorry, you kow who you are…ya know the ones who “gasp” at every little detail. My God settle down! Take your pills and think before you go off screaming fire in a crowded theatre! HAHAHA, I see so much of that in the blogs and forums.
For me to read it, is to try to understand where “they”, the A’s are coming from. I dont plan on engaging in a booger eating contest. I’ll leave that up to the booger eaters themselves. I mainly will in my own little way, pick it apart, get at the bones of it and let it go. I want to know truth. And when people write something without any forethought about it getting in the hands of the world (Or do they?) they write things so deep, thats a part of their soul. If GA was being real in this letter, it will show that. Then If this note is angled at how he believes his daughter’ stories, as it was mentioned…..then that may not be a bad thing. ……Now, Everbody get your booger finger ready!!

George has already suffered enough. Not only the loss of his precious grandchild but also the embarrassment (perhaps) of his suicide mission will haunt him forever.
He did not commit this crime. If there is anything from his note that LE does not already know then, and only then, should its contents be revealed.
Will I read it if it is released? At this moment, the answer is “no.” However, if there is something in it which is pertinent to the case I will probably read only that which is published as such.

If they do release it, I will read it. After all the speculation about the note I have to admit I am curious. The speculation I’m referring to is that it still shows support for Casey’s innocence. I have a hard time believing George would write something like that and it be known as his last words on earth. He’s smart, he knows. They know. I feel this note was created to be found and released. Knowing the media attention around them is SO heavy, how could something like that not? It seems their goal is to save Casey. Caylee is gone, nothing they can do about it now. Just my opinion though, I’m not him/them, I don’t know what it’s like to be in a situation like that. I think the whole family has mental issues, but I see George as being the smartest of the bunch. Something just doesn’t sit right about this note & attempted suicide.

A thought: Maybe he was going to leave this world affirming for the sake of his wife (who is losing her mind over this whole thing) that he believed in Casey’s innocence? Perhaps it was written in that way to give her comfort after he was gone?

Princess, that’s a very valid thought. My loved one did say in his note it wasn’t my fault and for me not to feel bad. He had overdosed on his seizure medication and locked himself in his room. If it hadn’t been for a freak accident where he was messing with the TV remote and turned it up so loud I could hear it was too loud, he would have succeeded. Of course I called the parametics… once they got him stabilized, he told me where he left the note.
Later we found out he had the brain tumor and that was causing his seizures and erratic actions.

If there was anything in the letter that held new info in regards of the case against Casey, then I understand it becoming state evidence. But, if I remember correctly, LE made it clear that there was nothing in the letter that would have had any bearing on the case. So, I don’t think it should be released at all. If they do release it, the state of Florida will be doing nothing more than putting an innocent man’s private hell and anguish on display. On top of that, that small group of heartless shitty gossip mongers that exist in most online sleuthing communities will gather around the note like it’s a damn boiling cauldron, cackling like toothless old hags as they dissect every sentence, gleefully putting George through a public trial and character lynching. They will take the most innocent of words in the letter and twist them and twist them and twist them until they are orgasming, gossiping and reading into the letter dark sordid shit that doesn’t really exist. I fkn hate when they do that, because they then spread their shit around the internet as fact.

After watching Lee Anthony at the memorial and his recent deposition, I believe the note will just echo the same bizarre thoughts and excuses the Anthony’s are making about Casey’s innocence.
IF there is even one word in that note that can get Casey life in prison, it should be released and I will read it. I dont’ care to read anything in the note that does not help hang Casey, though.
Didn’t LE say right after George’s suicide attempt that he wrote about his belief in Casey’s innocence or did I imagine that? I can’t imagine LE wanting to release it if it doesn’t help the case. There is no logical reason to release it if it’s not relevent to the case imo.

A very good friend of mine committed suicide, and he left a note , his family read the note at his funeral and it was so full of personal things, things written only for his family to see,but it was his familys choice , wish they had not read it to everyone!It was very private!
I have learned just recently to keep private things private, so no I do not think Georges letter should be released for the public, and I hope and pray if it is that I will have the stregth to walk away from it and not read it!
Joota, Thank you so very much for your response to my comment in the forum, it means so very much to me!You are such a wonderful woman with such a wonderful heart!
I also think the bad feelings towards the Anthonys for trying to believe and help Casey should maybe lighten up some , Casey is still their child and they do still love her , I am not defending Casey at all, She needs to pay dearly for what she did, but unless you have been in their shoes then don’t judge them with hatred,due to their daughters huge crime and sin.

I have no doubt that both Cindy and George loved Caylee very much. I think they saw her as their future, sort of a way to start over and do things right the second time. But the very second that they decided to stand behind Casey and believe every lie that she told and to add additional lies to help cover up her “mistruths” is the very second they gave up their love for their grand daughter. Caylee loved them all so unconditionally yet they could only return that love with conditions. I too wonder if George really considered suicide. He had ample chance and time yet everything ended with people feeling pity for him and what his family had went through, many forgetting that this is the same family that stands behind a murdering daughter who took their beloved Caylee from them probably for spite because they DID love her. If he truely thought about suicide then I hope he gets the help he needs but I think this disfuncional family will continue down the same path as before never standing up for Caylee and letting Casey know what she did was wrong and totally destroyed their family. You never see any other family members standing behind them. They know the truth and refuse to be pulled into their web of lies.
Many know that I took my grandson from my daughter and adopted him. Long story but he is alive today because I refused to stand by and allow her to toss his life away. I chose not to stand behind her and call her “sweetheart” while she ruined his life. Sometimes you do what you must to protect an innocent child even if it means turning against an adult who would harm them.
Sometimes it’s not WHAT you do that matters…it’s what you DON’T do.

Princess,
I haven’t read any of the comments yet because I didn’t want to be influenced by what others said and just want to say the first thing that pops up in my mind.
I think “if” the letter has any type of reference to what he thinks or knows about what happened to Caylee, then I think those “portions” should be released just like all of the other evidence if the State will use it. However, if it’s just a letter of despair, then I think it should be kept private because it really is no one’s business just the depths of hell this man was in while writing it.
My first and foremost concern is justice for Caylee, so if releasing it “helps” this poor child’s case, then it should be released minus unnecessary details we have no business reading.

Hi. New lurker as well as poster. As far as George’s letter goes, I don’t think it should be released even if he said that he thinks Casey killed Caylee. However, if he gave information that would help the case, it should be released with the other stuff marked out or deleted. If it is released in its entirety, I wouldn’t want to read it, but I think my curiosity would get the best of me and I might read as much of it as I could before my curiosity is satisfied and my guilty conscience kicks in. LOL As much as I would not want to read it, when it comes to things like that, I have no willpower. Off topic, I just want to add that I like your blogs princess. You have a fantastic outlook on things and a great sense of humor. I do not know the background story behind all of the WS stuff, but, from what I do know, you are more than justified to have the opinions that you do. Great blog!

I don’t think George Anthony’s note should be released to the public under any conditions. If there is something in it that pertains to Casey’s guilt, I hope it can be used for her trial. But to release this information would just humiliate the man. It’s like a lot of the documents that have come out about the case. People want to read them out of curiosity.
Edited to add: Interesting Disgusted. When I posted your note was above mine. Now it’s below, and I see the time it was posted was almost three hours before me. It’s almost like you got bottom-stickied.

I read the other comments, before I posted, so I guess I am in the minority..I say bring the letter out and I most certainly ,want to read it. I have spent the last 9 months on an emotional roller coaster, worrying about this child and then being completely heart broken when her bones were found….I cried the day her body was found, I cried the day of her memorial service…My heart has broken more times than I can count for both Geroge and Cindy, as the grandparents of a murdered grandchild….But, I get angry, with a heavy heart, when they support this monster of a daughter, who they Know killed Caylee……I have alot invested in this case, as others, and I DO want to know what was in his mind when he was leading people to believe he was going to commit suicide…I guess I’m only human when I say, I want to see for my self,(by reading the note) if he was really going to do this or if he was using this as an opportunity to sway a jury pool for his daughter..

If the letter were released, I would read it. I also think that those of you that say you wouldn’t, would.
With that said, I think so much of what has been released is unnecessary. The text messages between Casey’s friends (not even between them and Casey) where one girl talks about some guy she just met and slept with, hoping he’d call…that didn’t need to be released as ‘evidence’.
I do think in some ways LE is trying to humiliate the Anthony’s and their friends.
I didn’t like the one LE interview where they were scolding George because Cindy was bad mouthing them. They were implying that he should rein her in, she’s making them look bad on TV, they have to answer to their superiors everytime she says they’re not doing their job.
‘George, make the little woman keep quiet. You’re the man, make her shut-up.’

I hope the letter isn’t released, and hope that if it is I won’t read it.
I truly believe he thought the world was over for him. Was he truly serious about killing himself? Who knows, maybe he didn’t even know. I do believe, however, that he was in a lot of pain.
I get angry when people say it was all a fake. Do they know this? After my husband died I was going through files and emails on his computer and got so overwhelmed with grief I decided I was going to go into the kitchen, get a knife and slit my wrists.
Something stopped me and I thought OMG I need help. I called 911 on myself. I was institutionalized briefly, went to counceling and am ok now.
Everyone in my family (AND my friends) were so proud of me that I caught myself just in time and called 911.
I’m not looking for anyone to say Oh, that’s too bad SBD-FAN. All I’m saying is I took his supposed state of mind very seriously. Been there, done that.
I didn’t write a note, but again, I hope the note isn’t released to the public.

SBDFan, I am very proud of you for calling 911 on yourself as well. That means you still had one spark left worth living for, and I for one am honored to know you.

My take on it is that it shouldn’t be released. Like many have already said, It’ll just mirror the same old bull. Apparently, They think WE the public are total morons. “IF” George truly was going to kill himself, It’s not something that we should read about. IMO.

Princess your heart is in the right place . the casey story brings out many emotions . Cindy and george got a lot of emotional issues before caylee went missing .Maybe they was so busy with their own issues they did not notice what casey was doing ? so many things do not add up with this family , if they was aware of how casey is , it was lost in their own emotional problems . maybe their guilt is not not keeping that extra eye open? who knows , All I see now is how can parents stop not looking back on all their mistakes and feeling bad . don’t know when they stopped loving casey. . they do know she killed caylee. they just trying to lie to the world . but facts are there and no more road to run from it . must be the guilt and pain of being too busy with their own issues they let their grandchild die by the hands of their daughter. remembering the good old days when casey was a baby and till she changed , doubt they noticed. but cindy does not look like a female who understand what love is . love is not about money . it is the tender care one gets every day without a word .

I’m going to be totally honest here. I think that a lot of the people posting here saying “I will NOT read the note” et al….”no matter what” are self postulating BSers.
You KNOW you’ll read the friggin note. If it’s published. But only for the sake of the criminal case, of course. Be honest with yourself. You know that you would love to know what is in “the note”.
captcha is “arguments family”. Oh boy.

I think that’s a pretty large generalization and probably a bit inaccurate. I don’t mind different opinions, but there is a much politer way of presenting it.
Just a thought.

I would like to add, as I forgot to mention in my first post…In regards to the so called “suicide note”….The only way that I would agree, the note not be made public, is if he had died…..Then, I feel , it would have been an “invasion” of privacy to the family..Since he did not die, I am prepared to read, to get a better sense of where he was, in his thoughts about Casey”s guilt……I have serious compassion for both Cindy and George, but I sure would like more insite to just how they feel about Casey, in the sense of her, as their grand daughter’s mother, not just their daughter.

Cheralynn,
I will NOT read Georges suicide note if it is made public.
If I thought I would read it, I would say so.
I have no desire to read the words of a man who heart is broken and he thought the only way to escape the pain was to kill himself.
I hope Brad Conway wins this fight.

I have to be honest I would read it- I’d be compelled to. I didn’t really want to read all of the confession interviews with Gary Ridgeway but I felt I had to.
I do not think the note should be released with the case documents. Even if it does have value for the prosecution. It is the words of a broken man who has lost everything and to have those words then used against Casey would just be the end of George emotionally and I could see it leading to him finishing what he started when he wrote it. That and his attempted suicide was his issue not relevant to Caylee’s murder.
I can’t imagine the pain that family has had to deal with and must continue to deal with. And I don’t understand how people who are parents themselves can expect a mother to stop loving her child no matter what horrible thing they do. It is called “unconditional love” for a reason.
