Finally those poor people, the Anthony’s, will have a voice. Oprah has decided to give them a platform and for once the Anthony’s can tell us what they think in their own voice. Instead of the media taking video clips and splicing tidbits together to make them look bad, the family will now have a forum to speak with their own words.

The pain these grandparents have gone through losing their granddaughter at such a young age has to be overwhelming. These decent people have had to endure the out of control treatment of their daughter on the news every night. This loving family has been through the ringer and our prayers are with them. Doing the Oprah show could be something of a healing process and a chance to explain the mistreatment of their daughter by her jailers. Maybe they can explain what it must feel like to watch the jailhouse set their daughter up and stage a video tape in the jail. This is something they got away with by just saying that it was a mistake and that they were sorry.

Maybe they will be able to explain how hard all of this has been not having Casey by their side to grieve with them. I wonder if the jail will let Casey watch the Oprah show when her parents are on. They didn’t seem to have a problem putting her in front of the TV when there was a small body discovered in the woods. Most likely they will deny her, all of a sudden, access to a TV. None of us has ever seen a case like this with all the horrible tricks. However, the Oprah show gives them a chance to clear the air.

Already lawyers just can’t leave these people alone and have shamelessly tried to impose themselves on the Oprah show. These people have even tried to influence the Oprah show by sending her stuff to try to shape the tone of the show. Just another unbelievably classless trick by the usual suspects.

Enough is enough, leave these grieving and very private people alone. Unless they think the grandparents also killed Caylee. I say it again. Shame is the stain of the stagers of news.

[addendum: Oprah has cancelled this interview. Apparently the Anthony's had told Oprah she would have first crack at an interview, however, they made other interview plans with other shows and thus Oprah cancelled her's. (edited 4/22/09 by KB)]
