punishment for the anthony clan??

we have had millions of discussions about this case, and possible outcomes.. i think most of us are in agreement that KC will be found guilty, and be sentenced to LWOP... but what about the lot of them.. the ones ultimately responsible for KC being .. well KC, and piddling all the lies and potentially impeding the investigation into 1st the disappearance, and then the death of little caylee?

1st let me start with what i personally think they are guilty of: and potential punishments:
1. lying and making false statements to LE 90 days jail, $750 fine(misdemeanor)
2. intentionally distroying evidence $1500 fine, 6 months-2years in jail
3. impeding an official police investigation 6 months-1year in jail
4. perjury $2500 fine, 6 months in jail
5. accessory after the fact (in the homicide) depends on severity (up to 10 years)
6. facilitation of murder and/or child abuse/neglect depends on severity (up to 15 years)
7. fraud/fraudulent use of funds(where did all the find caylee donations go?) 6 months in jail (fines adjusted)
8. contempt of court (for the behavior and lack of cooperation in the depo) $1500 fine (6 months in jail)


now, of course these are relative, and possibilities for punishment-- all can/would be adjusted accordingly, and many of these occurances i have eluded to, would be multiple charges.

IMO CA and GA should recieve at minimum 5 years in jail for their involvement in both the crimes, and the cover-up that has ultimately followed. CA, i believe has played a much larger role in the aftermath of caylee's disappearance/death than has GA .. i still believe that both of them should be convicted and sentenced for their actions.

in the beginning, i chalked their unusual behaviors to grief/stress.. but as time has gone on, and mouths have continued to spew lies and "mistruths" have been put out there time after time, i believe their involvement in a cover-up runs much deeper than any of us even realize.

when CA cleaned furiously on that car, and washed the contents of such, she KNEW what happened to caylee... she KNEW she was destroying evidence.. because, IF she thought for ONE SECOND anyone but KC was involved, she would have preserved everything in the hopes that LE could track down those responsible. it is my belief that from DAY UNO, that CA knew that caylee was dead and that KC killed her. she began her cover of that fact the very day AFTER the infamous 911 call.. and all actions from that day forth--have been soley to prohibit/impede justice.

do you think they will be charged/convicted?? what punishment is proper.. (i am of course talking legally, these people have committed multiple morally incomprehensible offenses, which will be dealt with on dates yet to be determined.. if you know what i mean... )

I'm with you on this one randi! All the way. If they are not at least charged and given fines and probation, it sets a presidence(sp) for future family's of suspects to follow in their shoes. It's disgusting the lengths they have gone to cast doubt on Casey's guilt.

I wholeheartedly believe that all 3 A's have committed their own crimes in this case... after the fact. But I believe they all did it KNOWINGLY.

I pray the authorities will charge these people and give them what they are due. Jail time! However, in reading many forums about this case, I see that most lawyers think there will be no charges against the A's. I say how can they NOT charge them??? I believe authorities would be setting a precedent in letting the family of a criminal break the law in order to cover for the criminal and then just walk away with no consequences. That is exactly what the A's have done with KC her whole life..... let her break all the rules with no consequences. I feel certain the A's don't think they will be charged with any crimes.

The other reason I would like to see them charged is because (I think) if they are charged and convicted with a crime relating to the death of Caylee, they will not be able to profit from their story. You just have to know they have a book (and much more!) in the grand scheme of things...... I just can't stand the thought of them living in the lap of luxury for the rest of their lives.... all because their evil spawn murdered beautiful little Caylee.

I pray KC gets convicted..... and I pray her parents (and maybe LA, too) get convicted right along side her...

Caylee deserves justice..... something she never got and never will from the family who was supposed to love and protect her.

Snaz, your other reason is the best one. I didn't think about them not being able to profit off of this murder.

I know in my heart though that no matter what the future holds, until they tell the truth, there will be no peace in their lives and they will die a lonely death. They may put on happy faces(Casey) but the truth is they are filled with turmoil and misery knowing that everyone knows what they have done and who they really are. It's why they are so hateful. JMO of course!

I agree that the Anthonys should be charged with crimes. They know what happened and they've done everything they can to cover up the truth. If you watch old interviews with Cindy, you can tell that she was already in full spin mode less than a week after she learned of Caylee's disappearance.

Yes, guilty, guilty, guilty.... I know the legal experts are saying they would most likely not be charged, but we can have hope.

All of you have put forth the many reasons why the 3 A's should be prosecuted. They impeded the investigation, tampered with evidence - and we don't know to what extent they hid evidence that would convict Casey. The "unknowns" alone would probably convict Casey without a doubt. Since the Anthony family has continued to lie and contradict, none of their testimony should be regarded as the truth. There should be charges filed, and a precedent needs to be set for others who attempt to profit from the death of a family member. Even if the Anthony's spend no time in jail, due to public sentiment, criminal charges should be filed. The Anthony's could be excused from serving time, but they should be on record as felons.

AJ said:

I think many ppl wud be adverse to seeing the Ants get jail time after this is all over..

AJ, I would have to respectfully disagree with this. I read all over the internet about this case, and the majority who post DO want the A's prosecuted.... the only ones who do not are the A's supporters.

IMO, they deserve no break..... they have broken the law MANY times over and they deserve to pay the consequences just like anyone else. Being an Anthony does not exempt them (because their evil daughter gets convicted of murdering her daughter) from being prosecuted ...

In fact, I think they deserve to be prosecuted even more..... maybe if they hadn't lied, hidden, removed, washed, cleaned, etc., the State wouldn't have to spend as much money investigating this case.....

JMO, of course.

I personally think they have paid the ultimate price no matter what they have done but that shouldn't negate the fact that others will think it's ok. I have no problem with a fine and probation because they are criminals IMO and the jails are full of idiots already, they don't need an uprising from Cindy. LOL $10,000 fine 5 years probation 2000 hours community service That would be my sentence. If I had a choice for them. Cindy having to pay and George having to work will kill them much faster than a 30 day jail sentence. I'm getting a visual and I likey!!!!!!!!!
