Cindy Anthony Faces Possible Perjury Charges?

Cindy Anthony, the mother of Casey Anthony, told the court that she was the one who did internet searches for the word chloroform from the family's home computer. Did Cindy say that just to throw everyone off? It seems that Cindy was lying about that.

The state contends that Casey Anthony was the person who did the computer searches. If Casey was indeed the person who searched for chloroform, that would prove premeditation.

When Cindy swore that she was the person who did those searches, did she say that to protect her daughter? Didn't she understand that her work records would be verified? Cindy Anthony's statement in court was that she went home from work early to look up chloroform on the computer. However, yesterday the state called witnesses from Cindy's job, Gentiva Health Services, who disputed what she said.

According to John Camperlengo from Gentiva, someone using Cindy Anthony's password was using the computer at work, while supposedly Cindy was at home searching chloroform. If a person, Cindy, is at work and as part of their job had to search a word or term, why would that person have to go home to do it? That makes no sense at all.

The question is will the state charge Cindy Anthony with perjury? Technically, they can but they probably won't, per the Orlando Sentinel. Always looking ahead, in case there is a mistrial or hung jury there would have to be a new trial. The state would not want a key witness such as Cindy to have perjury charges hanging over her head. But if Cindy Anthony lied about something that can easily be verified, what else is she lying about?

Is the whole Anthony family lying about details of what happened to Caylee? Do Cindy and George know more than they are telling? Is it possible that although Cindy and George Anthony know their daughter is guilty of murder, still feel the need to protect her?

Once the case has been turned over to the jury, it will be up to those 12 individuals to determine if Casey is guilty or not. Since there is no 'smoking gun', it makes it a little more difficult for them. They have to rely on the information at hand. To most of us, that information should lead to a murder one conviction.
