Casey Anthony's parents were the first ones out of the courthouse Tuesday, avoiding the media, just moments after it was announced that a Florida jury acquitted Casey of killing her two-year-old daughter, Caylee.
But now George and Cindy Anthony are speaking out through their attorney and RadarOnline.com has the statement.

"While the family may never know what happened to Caylee Marie Anthony, they now have closure for this chapter in their life," Mark Lippman said in the release.
"They will now begin the long process of rebuilding their lives. Despite the baseless defense chosen by Casey Anthony, the family believes that the Jury made a fair decision based on the evidence presented, the testimony presented, the scientific information presented and the rules that were given to them by the Honorable Judge Perry to guide them.

"The family hopes that they will be given the time by the media to reflect on this verdict and decide the best way to move forward privately."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported the majority of Casey's defense weighed on her allegation that George had sexually abused her as a child, and as a retired law enforcement officer, disposed of Caylee's body after she accidentally drowned in the family swimming pool.

"The family also wanted the public to know that if anyone wanted to honor Caylee by leaving stuffed animals or other toys at any area near their home, that they would prefer those items be donated in Caylee's name to families in need, religious centers, or any other entity where the toys would be appreciated," Lippman concluded.

I just dont want to believe the grandparents are mixed up in what happened to that little girl and I really don't see how they could be..if a child drowned it happens all the time they wouldnt need to hide the body..the jury just sounds stupid

If the child drowned and not found for a long time...it is logical too assume that others would scream negligence. Imagine the guilt? All the woudda, shoudda, coudda's!!! People get scared, and if the little girl was gone too long and not relivable?

it's almost like someone duped the jury somehow...they seem so mislead and unclear of everything..it does not make sense.

This whole thing just depresses me it is so confusing with so many things said about the family that make them all out to be horrible....it doesnt make sense that they would think she was a good mother...wait till they start reading everything later

The parents are just as guilty as their devil daughter. Their souls will never rest, but Caylee's
soul will rest in peace for she is no longer living with people who raised a monster.

THERE WAS NOTHING FAIR ABOUT THIS DECISION. THE JURORS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. THIS WHOLE FAMILY IS SICK AND HAVE NO SOUL. PARENTS & JURORS HAVE CAYLE'S BLOOD ALL OVER THEM
