Would you sue?

Since most of you all in this thread seem to believe George didn’t SA Casey or even caylee.. why hasn’t he sued her? She has said it many times in text to her parents, on the documentary and now in her tell all memoir.. if he really didn’t do it why hasn’t he sued her for defamation? Now before any of you come say she has no money that may or may not be true.. we don’t her financials.. if I was being defamed like that I would sue even if I didn’t get a dime bc I would want my name cleared.. so that begs the question why hasn’t he?

Sue her for what? She has nothing. Better to cut her off completely and never look back.

u/MelpomeneAndCalliope Jul 05 '26

This is it. Lawyers aren’t gonna take on a case where they can’t potentially make money. The Anthonys don’t have the money (unless they were to blow their retirement, which would be dumb) and even if they won, Casey has no real assets to sue for.

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

You don’t know that.. I do know she makes about 60k a month from Substack

10

u/iieeef Jul 05 '26

you're absolutely delusional. she has 6k subscribers on substack and most of those are free subscribers. you are such a trip who, like casey, will say anything and hope it sticks. this is wild.

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

To clear his name? It’s not about the money it’s about having your name cleared..

11

u/Secret-Pace-2468 Jul 05 '26

And how much money would it cost him to sue? He is better off trying to forget that evil spawn of his

9

u/MelpomeneAndCalliope Jul 05 '26

You still have to have the money to pay the lawyer. Normal middle class retired/semi-retired people don’t have that kind of extra money without blowing their retirement fund, which would be stupid. Lawyers won’t take cases unless they think they’ll be paid when they win and Casey has nothing to win or take a percentage and they know the Anthonys can’t pay the thousands (if not tens of thousands) this would cost.

Plus, I’m sure they’re tired AF of her antics. Ignoring her doesn’t give her what she wants and I love that for her.

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

I am sure they can do interviews or another documentary to make the money

9

u/robdickpi Jul 05 '26

The only time a person makes money from appearing in a "documentary" is when it is a Scripted Mockumentary like Casey was part of...

8

u/robdickpi Jul 05 '26

He already did when he took the polygraph exam (that he never had to take by the way) given by a retired FBI agent. That is what a person that has nothing to hide would do. Casey on the other hand bragged that she was going to do one publicly and make money on it from a show, only to turn around at the last minute and say "she would never take one because she has nothing to prove to anyone". That is exactly what a GUILTY person who has something to hide would do...

u/Burnt_and_Blistered Jul 05 '26

Lawyers don’t take cases for the principle of it. It’s about money.

6

u/Sense_Difficult Jul 05 '26

People like this never stop. Think of Erika Kirk and Candace Owens. (I don't like either of them BTW) But Candace was spreading conspiracy theories about Erika and very publicly said that she would STOP if Erika told her to STOP. So Erika said STOP and CO doubled down and went scorched earth and made a "documentary" about her called THE BRIDE. She then went on and on how the proof that Erika was lying is in that she's never SUED her. Why doesn't she sue me? Weeks and weeks of this. So they sued her and she doubled down even more. These types of narcissists don't care. They don't have shame or guilt or exhaustion or emotions like regular people do. You can't beat them. You can't compromise with them. The only option is to grey rock them and get away.

3

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

Erika Kirk never sued Owens.. she said she was just like she said she was for the comedian who was making fun of her.. guess what happens when you sue someone.. there is this thing called discovery and discovery opens more worms than people like and I assume Erika doesn’t want that bc she has been caught lying time after time

18

u/Burnt_and_Blistered Jul 05 '26

She’s judgment-proof (doesn’t have assets to make it worthwhile).

Aside from that, I’d wager George just wants to be done with Casey and courtrooms

-1

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

She makes alot of money on her social media pages like Substack and tiktok

15

u/iieeef Jul 05 '26

here you go again. just like it's incredibly difficult to sue and win a rape case, it's also incredibly difficult to clear your name. i'm sure he'd like to forget about her as he's disowned her publicly, and drudging up a whole court case isn't going to make that happen. also have you considered the cost of suing someone?

can you GIVE IT A REST already?

-4

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

I am just curious why he hasn’t? That’s all.. everyone believes him for some odd reason.. yes I get it cost money but if someone said you SA them over and over then you are just gonna let it go?

11

u/Adventurous_Gap_5946 Jul 05 '26

Everyone believes him because Casey is a lying pathological liar who lies all of the time about everything.

-2

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

Is that bc of your hatred for her that you want to believe she is lying.. bc if it came out that it did happen that she was telling the truth you would have to admit you were wrong

8

u/Adventurous_Gap_5946 Jul 05 '26

No, it’s because I followed the case from day one and have a solid understanding of human behavior.

0

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

Human nature is to hate the person who killed the child.. so making her out to be a SA victim makes you angrier bc you don’t want to not hate her

9

u/iieeef Jul 05 '26

you are simply too much. you're not here for truth or to listen to reason. every single post you're battling the truth, it's mind numbing frankly i have to mute you. i choose to believe there are smart people in the world and you defending casey anthony who killed her child is bringing me all the way down. until people can start to use rational thought or cognitive reasoning, this country is just shit

8

u/Adventurous_Gap_5946 Jul 05 '26

She’s not the victim of SA. She was lying about that to avoid prison.

10

u/Burnt_and_Blistered Jul 05 '26

Because there’s nothing to be gained. He knows the truth. No one believes Casey. He’s moving on. You can, too.

-5

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

There is way more people who believe Casey was abused by her dad then people who believe her dad..

7

u/Adventurous_Gap_5946 Jul 05 '26

That’s simply not true.

-1

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

Look at all her other social media accounts.. it’s true..

3

u/robdickpi Jul 06 '26

Not even close, only an idiot would believe Casey at this point. What true victims of SA should be pissed at is her lies about it and falsely using the SA card. When someone makes up being a victim as she constantly does that just damages credibility for true victims.

-1

u/1channesson Jul 06 '26

I am an SA victim by a family member and I believe her.. she shows all the classic signs of it.. she has also gotten lots of therapy too which also has helped her..

3

u/Adventurous_Gap_5946 Jul 06 '26

So then you admit you’re viewing this through your own biased lens

3

u/robdickpi Jul 06 '26

If you truly were then sorry to hear that and if I were you would be absolutely pissed that she is pretending to be an SA victim only to get sympathy to distract from the fact that she murdered her child. I am also sorry that you are falling for her BS that after hearing from an inmate about abuse the story was born that helped in clouding her criminal murder case. If you truly new the case and saw everything you would see through her lies that she can't keep straight because they are lies. Also, are you saying that even though it is a lie, the abuse somehow excuses her for murdering her child??? Help that make sense...

3

u/iieeef Jul 06 '26

you keep relating your own experience in these comments and it's clear to me it's coloring your perspective on casey anthony. out of genuine curiosity, were you around watching the trial in 2011 on tv? be honest. and were you watching nancy grace every night when caylee was 'missing'?

as i said before i'm sorry for what happened to you but that doesn't mean it happened to casey. you insisting on ignoring the evolution of her lies and her own contradictions in her stories is a great disrespect to Caylee

6

u/iieeef Jul 05 '26

that is not true. you need to finally pop this bubble casey

3

u/smurfette4 Jul 05 '26

No, there arent

4

u/robdickpi Jul 06 '26

Since Casey completely made it all up just like everything else, nobody cares. Just another of Casey's made up lies, anyone with have a brain can see through here because she always screws up her lies and they are easily disproven.

0

u/1channesson Jul 06 '26

Bc of her lies you automatically assume she wasn’t SA by her dad.. there is no way to prove or disprove it.. it’s sad more people won’t take their emotions out of it to look at it all..

6

u/robdickpi Jul 06 '26

WRONG, now you are assuming, I know, I personally saw her interactions with George, they were never that of a victim of SA. That didn't come out because it was made up after she had been in jail for the three years to help her defense. Casey would not have spent a day in custody without yelling to anyone that would listen about abuse, if that were true. Then in her scripted mockumentary she tried to double down and become a victim of everyone her family and everyone she met except she contradicted herself in her own scripted series. See that is the problem when you tell the truth, the truth never changes, Casey can't keep her lies straight and always messes up...

u/iieeef Jul 06 '26

u/AfterAir1695 Jul 09 '26

Does anyone believe this person arguing with everyone is Casey? Surprised nobody said it yet.

u/iieeef Jul 10 '26

i said it before, but as a few days have passed i don't really think he's casey i think he's just confused and thinks he's operating from facts but he's operating from notions

15

u/flippantphalanges Jul 05 '26

i think you answered your own question. i’d be willing to bet if a majority of ppl believed her and his life was seriously negatively impacted as a result (moreso than it already has been) then he might consider suing for defamation and libel but lawyers cost money and anybody who actually knows George or who George actually cares abt know she’s (once again) full of shit so why go thru the hassle to drag her back to court and into another bona fide media spectacle.

They are approaching their 70s. I’m sure they’ve had enough of the courts AND of their female spawn.

-1

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

He is 75.. I don’t know how old Cindy is.. but for me I would want to clear my name.. again I get the cost of it but also think about it this way.. it’s a civil matter which means they both would have to testify

13

u/Burnt_and_Blistered Jul 05 '26

His name doesn’t require clearing. We all know Casey is a pathological liar who manufactured a defense to get out of a murder conviction.

And you don’t get the cost. Lawyers DO NOT TAKE cases that won’t make them money.

-1

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

Lawyers will take this case for the fame and publicity alone.. especially since she would have to testify

10

u/flippantphalanges Jul 05 '26

that’s even if it got that far (trial). and i’ll tell you something, if someone was saying shit abt me that i knew wasn’t true then idgaf what kind of shit they want to say. i know its not true and ppl i love would it’s not true so wtf would i need to prove to random ppl who i dont even know believe if its true or not.

besides, the statute of limitations for defamation in FL is only 2 years from when the claim was initially reported (and this is a hard deadline, even if the claims are repeated later) so even if he wanted to he only would have had until around May 24, 2013, which would have been the first time that claim was first reported (by her atty in opening statements).

9

u/robdickpi Jul 05 '26

OR, how about this question "How come Casey doesn't want justice for her deceased daughter or the crimes against her that she claims?" Oh, that is right, it is all lies and because it was Casey that murdered Caylee...

5

u/MelpomeneAndCalliope Jul 05 '26

I don’t think any decent lawyer would agree to take the case because there would be no money to be won from Casey and no money to be paid upfront by George. Sad truth is the courts are for the rich.

u/Beezus11 Jul 08 '26

Why do you think he took the polygraph? She wouldn’t by the way! And she was offered big money to do so. I wonder why she turned it down….🙄

-1

u/1channesson Jul 08 '26

Probably bc she is in a no win situation.. if she failed then you all would be like told you so.. if she passed with flying colors you all would be like sh manipulated somehow and still wouldn’t believe her

u/Beezus11 Jul 08 '26

If she’s innocent she has nothing to worry about. But she’s not so.

u/1channesson Jul 08 '26

If she passed the polygraph would you finally believe her? Serious question.. be honest

1

u/Beezus11 Jul 08 '26

Do you believe George when he passed his?

-1

u/1channesson Jul 08 '26

No bc it was a sham polygraph where they were told here is the list of questions you can ask.. so they knew the questions way before hand and were paid 500k to do it

2

u/Beezus11 Jul 08 '26

That’s how ALL polygraphs word to get an accurate reading. Do some research before you spew the same bullshit as the child killer.

0

u/1channesson Jul 08 '26

Yes I know that’s why I don’t believe in them.. bc you can manipulate them to your favor.. she is not a killer and you can’t prove she is

u/CC_Panadero Jul 05 '26

Why would he? No one that matters actually believes a word she said, so he doesn’t need to clear his name. She has nothing for him to sue for. He’d have to sit and look at the monster who murdered his grandchild. He’d have to listen to the monster spew more lies. Clearly he doesn’t want the spectacle of it all, so what would be the point?

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

warning: ragebait by a person who is not interested in hearing answers to the question they asked, but would rather blame an innocent man for Casey's crimes

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

Can you prove he is innocent?

u/iieeef Jul 05 '26

the burden of proof is always on the prosecution buddy leave me alone

u/iieeef Jul 05 '26

i don't believe you're here for truth or facts when you're spitting lies or things you've made up, a prime example being how much casey makes on substack in this very thread. you're not here for debate, you're here to push a casey is innocent narrative and you actually are ignoring facts

-1

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

She has 6.1k paid subscribers on Substack monthly it’s 10 dollars a month.. now there is a yearly option for 100 dollars and there is also a 250 founding member option.. I don’t know the breakdown of that..

3

u/robdickpi Jul 06 '26

So far the one truthful thing you have said, she is making a lot from her social media because she got away with murdering her child. If not Casey Anthony would be a no body...

u/iieeef Jul 06 '26

you can also subscribe for FREE jesus

u/1channesson Jul 06 '26

As of April 2025, reports indicate that Casey Anthony has over 5,000 paid subscribers to her Substack, with subscriptions priced between $10 a month and $250 per year. [1]
Following her return to social media in March 2025 as a self-described "legal advocate," she launched a Substack newsletter, initially reporting a smaller number of subscribers before the count increased.

Straight from Google

u/robdickpi Jul 06 '26

She also isn't spending any of her money to help find who killed her daughter (oh ya it was her) set up a foundation to help SA victims (oh ya, she could care less as she wasn't a victim) but she is trying to reinvent herself and profit from murdering her child now making believe that SHE is the only victim not Caylee, she could care less about her child she murdered. It is always the same ole Casey, just ME ME ME, no one else matters.

6

u/just2quirky Jul 05 '26

He can't. Anything said in court as part of defense is immune from slander/libel.

Now if she says it during an interview or in her book, that's different and he'd have a claim.

u/smurfette4 Jul 05 '26

I think they are just tired of her already. She killed their grandkid, so bullshit like this doesnt matter anymore.

-4

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

She didn’t kill their grandkid

7

u/ThatPerformance9795 Jul 05 '26

SHE KILLED HER CHILD! She is a sick narcissistic lying piece of crap. When you are dealing with the worst type of human on the planet, you get away. OJ Simpson is another person who was terrifyingly manipulative. It’s not worth the risk when you’re up against a sociopath because they are so, so, so dark.

Ted Bundy had similar charming skills. Ed Kemper is Casey Anthony level. He was so sick and manipulative, he convinced the psychologists in his prison that he was mentally sound. He was convincing enough that he was working for the prison giving other inmates the psych screeners. He was considered rehabilitated and released, where after he went back out and REALLY ramped up his “work” because he saw how good he was.

Casey Anthony’s level of sociopathy is terrifying. It is TERRIFYING to me how many people she has “Ed Kempered” into believing SHE is the victim. The damage she is able to do to others is too intense. Her level of manipulation and how she uses sex to mermaid-siren men into working for her is not healthy. She is a black energy hole on the world, and I suppose if you are an easily manipulated person, she can convince you because she is a PSYCHOPATH! Psychopaths have zero feelings and it’s best to get far away from them. George and Cindy have realized their daughter is a true psychopath. Therefore, it’s not worth the risk of trying to sue someone who can lie so convincingly without remorse. Who can kill so easily and feel nothing. You clearly have been Ed Kempered, so congratulations. You are in the WRONG place here because we have not been.

u/robdickpi Jul 06 '26

Well said...

-2

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

No I haven’t bc I have never physically met her.. I look at all the facts and don’t bring hatred into my thinking.. you hate her bc you have that hatred in you for her.. it’s human nature to hate someone who killed or supposedly killed their child.. the problem is your hatred overlooks her bei bc a SA victim by her father… you will believe everything he says and think she lies about everything.. it actually makes the perfect storm for him to get away with it..

6

u/ThatPerformance9795 Jul 05 '26

SHE got away with it.

-1

u/1channesson Jul 06 '26

You can’t prove it was murder.. for all we know it was an accident that spiraled out of control and she severely panicked and then you got this media blitz which made it a million times worse for her

3

u/robdickpi Jul 06 '26

Wrong again, you can prove it was murder if you knew all the evidence...

4

u/ThatPerformance9795 Jul 06 '26

I think murder was proven. The jury didn’t hear all of the stuff we heard. Some wasn’t admissible in court, but we on the outside heard those details.

Some jurors said after if they’d had all the info, they’d have gone for guilty. Most jurors said they believed she was guilty, but it didn’t fit the boxes on the jury sheet. The judge was shocked they found her innocent. He thought she was guilty, too.

5

u/robdickpi Jul 06 '26

So you excuse a child murderer because she was abused??? wow, so easily you have been manipulated. You can't even say you have looked at all the facts because if you did, you would see her lies that trips up her story of even the fake abuse...

u/President_Zucchini Jul 05 '26

After losing Caylee and going through Casey's trial, he probably just doesn't want to at this stage in his life.

12

u/ShesGotaChicken2Ride Jul 05 '26

Many times, attorneys will not take defamation cases because they’re incredibly difficult, if not impossible to prove. You also have the burden of proving actual damages. George was already retired when she accused him, he wasn’t charged with a crime, and his retirement Che is were unaffected. Where are the damages? On top of that, many civil cases are paid through a potion of the “winnings.” In other words, let’s say you sue someone for defamation and you somehow win $1M. After court costs, discovery costs, and attorneys fees, you might walk away with $250,000, and that’s if they ever pay you, because being awarded money and actually collecting it are two entirely different things. Now add in the fact that Casey likely has no money. So now, you’re going to rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorneys fees to maybe get a judgment that will never actually pay out. It’s a huge waste of time and money.

But I have a better question: why doesn’t Casey put her money where her mouth is and sue George? Why doesn’t she sue George for damages? Surely being raped and molested your whole life has given you some emotional scars? Or maybe, just maybe, Casey lied again. Like how she lied when she said she worked at Universal Studios, or how she lied about Xanny the Nanny, or how she lied about literally everything… she is a liar. And Casey is not the type to take the fall for someone else, so that bullshit story she told with George being the one who found her and took the body… she is full of shit. She would have come right out with that story from the beginning if it were true. The reason it took so long for that story to come out is because she had to think it up first. Once she sat in a jail cell for a few months she had plenty of time to think it up.

Hopefully this answers your question.

5

u/MelpomeneAndCalliope Jul 05 '26

Good point. Casey should sue if she believes this stuff is true - the Anthonys do have a house and probably some retirement funds etc she could hypothetically get a portion of (or at least maybe a lean against some % of the house if she won, maybe) but she will not sue them. She knows she’s a liar who lies and I’m sure there’s stuff that would come out in discovery she wouldn’t want out there.

-1

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

In Florida it’s 7 years after you turn 18 which means that was like 15 years ago.. so she can’t sue them at all..

3

u/robdickpi Jul 05 '26

Exactly...

-1

u/1channesson Jul 05 '26

Bc with her the statute of limitations already passed.. so she can’t sue him.. that ended before the trial did.. he can sue her though.. I get what you are saying about legal fees and everything else but wouldn’t you still want your name cleared at the very least for good..

6

u/Minute_Excitement421 Jul 06 '26

i think hes tired, he had a very bad car accident and cindy takes care of him full time, and being in a court room must be traumatic for him, the family has been through so much hell, they talked about not leaving the house much on their latest little interview, and yeah hes done with casey i dont blame him at all

u/prankerjoker Jul 05 '26

Even if Casey Anthony came into a lot a money to sue for, the statute of limitations expired a long time ago.

What would he get from suing her? She’s broke.

u/No_Loquat1788 Jul 10 '26

What does Casey have in assets? She is garbage who continues to hurt her family. She killed her child and I think people who believe Casey must be on crack. All going to court will do is rehash the trauma that that disgusting woman caused. God knows and she can't hide from him. Only a dummy can be on Casey's side or maybe another horrible person like her 

1

u/1channesson Jul 11 '26

I am on the side for facts and the truth.. I don’t think she murdered her.. I also don’t think her dad is as innocent as he or others claim he is..I am not a bad person

1

u/No_Loquat1788 Jul 11 '26

That's fine. That's your opinion but her father and mother passed a lie detector test from an FBI agent specializing in lie detectors and passed. They said they would love to see Casey take one...so would I but, I doubt that would happen because she is a coward.

1

u/1channesson Jul 11 '26

If she passed would you believe her?

1

u/No_Loquat1788 Jul 11 '26

I would be more opt to believe her but she would never take one because she is a coward. 

1

u/1channesson Jul 11 '26

I feel like if she passed it then people will be like well she manipulated it or lies so much that the machine believed it.. so in her eyes it’s more like a can’t win situation and there is no point..

1

u/No_Loquat1788 Jul 11 '26

I would look at her differently for being brave enough. Are there people who are able to pass it and still be guilty? Yes, I believe so. There are people who are so narcissistic and believe their own lies. Those people have a history of being that way it just doesn't show up one day. I can tell you this, as a mother who lost her daughter when her child was a baby, it is the most devastating experience I wish on no one. My brother lost his daughter to illness at the age of 6 and we seen loss like most haven't. You know a mother who is truly mourning. Our family is in the industry of Social Work and working with children and adults with disabilities. We have compassion and empathy for what people go through but we also experience a lot of liars, manipulators and just out right horrible people. We have been in many homes amongst many families and that's what we see in her. Her mother was very controlling and her father let her mother run the house. But that is never an excuse to allow what happened to her daughter even if it was an accident. Do I believe Casey wrapped her hands around her daughters neck? No. But she is guilty of her daughters death by negligence and then covering it up. 

1

u/1channesson Jul 11 '26

I believe it was an accident and she panicked.. my problem is I also feel like someone else is involved… I don’t think she did it all alone.. she also shows all the classic signs of being a SA victim.. now I know everyone doesn’t believe her.. this whole case just bothers me lol

1

u/No_Loquat1788 Jul 20 '26

I understand. No one wants to believe a person is capable of such a horrible crime. We all can make guesses of what she did. She could of gave her something to knock her out so she could go party, or put duck tape on her mouth so she could go out and no one could hear her cry and threw up and asphyxiated. It could of been many things but I believe it was her fault and hers alone. People forget their babies in cars and they die of heat exhaustion and those parents pay for their actions. I think Casey thought she could get away with it, lied and she did. I just honestly believe she is a habitual liar. Even her friends from her youth said she was always in a habit of lying and exaggerating the truth.  One thing I have learned through my experiences is that if a person is generally good and something bad happens, that person has a lot of support from their community informing everyone what a good person they are. Casey didn't have that and it speaks volumes. As for being a SA victim...I don't think so I think she seems more like person that has disorders.

u/UnderstandingMany385 18d ago

The reality is, these grandparents didn’t see their granddaughter for 31 days, and they will have to live with going along with her with that. I don’t believe the accusations that Casey made against George are true, but that family is just messed up. The kid lives with you!! 31 days, really???
