Possibly if they have any assets, those can be attached. Punitive damages. They should be required to pay back the search teams, imho.
I didn't know he filed suit, the reason for the response I gave. Even if Tim Miller gets a judgement, G&C don't have to pay him a nickel. Hes suing Casey.

CA denied knowing EquuSearch was looking for Caylee, even though Tim Miller picked her up from jail for her home confinement and a female EquuSearch team member stayed at the Anthonys house.

OK fair enough. I will add a bit more of my issues with the article. The problem I had with the article was it's introduction of a claim, and then trying to build a case to defend that claim, rather than the other way around. It's a pop-psych tactic that really does a diservice to the field, and thus you get as many false claims of such things as sexual child abuse as you do true claims. Using the author's methods, you can pretty much take any pychological deviation and define bits and pieces of others, in this case the parents, to build up the case. But none of it is concrete, it's all "this is so because the father thinks like that, that is so because the mother thinks like that". But when you start drilling down to the base evidence, it falls apart. It describes the father as a "sexual narcisst" repeatedly. When you finall drill down to why exactly the author describes him as such (after pages and pages) - it's a few carefully selected and chosen letters where he called his daughter beautiful. That appears to be the type of core evidence for this and other claims. It's just not convincing. It spends the entire article explaining the causes without supporting it.

Now I am not sure who wrote it, but I will assume (or hope) it is not someone from that field. It seems to be trying to bring together several disjointed theories of the modern pop-psych field. I somewhat agree with the premise that "monsters are made" but I don't but it as a total reason. Their are two many other factors other than to simply blame it on her parents, and I don't beleive for a second that she was molested based on two facts - 1.) She is, of course, a liar, and 2.) Someone pointed out the commonness of the claim in the female jail as a "badge of honor" toughness thing, where, if you weren't molested, it's like "then you aren't one of us". I think she picked up the claim, and the value of making the claim, during her first few days in jail.

Anyone who votes yes should be locked up in a cage, and for good reason.

According to this, Cindy Anthony hired Tim Miller. I am not certain. There is a civil suit in progress. However, both sides now have many attorneys, so weeding through the truth will be a task.

Tim Miller « The JB Mission

Im sure there are civil statutes in Florida for lying to investigators/hiring under false pretenses.

The movies and books all have creative license, so I will not be reading or watching any fiction and lies perpetuated by the Anthonys.

I will however, be following the court system.

I don't buy that Casey was molested. I have worked in prison, and jail. Almost every woman there has said that she was molested, it is like a "badge". But the indicators I have seen is that women who were molested as children do not sexualize themselves, they minimize their sexuality. They are often overweight, as a method of controlling and "sabotaging" their molestor.

It seems to me almost all women diagnosed as "borderline" state they were molested. Leading one to conclude that being molested leads to a BPD. I think it is opposite, I think BPD are likely to have false memories of being molested, it is part of the pathology.
Very good post.

I followed this case (loosely) as it happened. I have no interest in revisiting it. They call it this decade's OJ Simpson trial, but I found the OJ Simpson trial far more interesting.

I hope no one watches this exploitive show. That poor little girl needs to just rest in peace.

Nope ... I had enough watching jury selection, the trial and the verdict.

I did buy Jeff Ashton's book, read it in one day and enjoyed the info from 'their' side of the case.

One thing I did learn, evidence and things a jury really needs to see or hear is sometimes withheld and not allowed in during trials. But I think it would have taken the Pinellas 12 actually seeing, in person, Casey when she killed Caylee to get a conviction out of that group.

Will Casey Anthony or the other family members receive any money from this movie?

No...Jeff Ashton sold the movie rights to his book...the Anthony's get nothing.
