The grandparents of the late Caylee Anthony are asking for immunity when questioned. As the investigation into the murder gains momentum, George and Cindy Anthony want to be protected when prosecutors begin questioning them about the case.
Their daughter, Casey Anthony, remains jailed on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators. Her trial is set to begin in March.
But the lawyer for Casey’s parents want to make sure their statements are protected during the investigation. The lawyer has asked the judge for immunity. There has been no statement yet from the court.
Cindy and George Anthony have also said they will plan a private memorial and funeral for their granddaughter. They haven’t scheduled a time to visit their daughter in an Orange County jail.
Caylee Anthony, who would have turned 3 in August, was reported missing in July. Her whereabouts were a mystery until a meter reader found skeletal remains earlier this month about half a mile from George and Cindy Anthony’s home. A DNA test discovered the remains belonged to Caylee Anthony.
