The new lawyer for George and Cindy Anthony spoke to the public Monday. He said he didn’t know about plans to prosecute them on charges related to the case, but he did tell Eyewitness
News that he is seeking immunity for Caylee’s grandparents.
Attorney Brad Conway says he just wants to make sure his clients are protected. He wants to make sure charges aren’t filed later.
George and Cindy Anthony were not ready to address the media, but issued a statement through their attorney Monday. The Anthonys do not plan on making a public statement until the remains found near their home are identified.
Conway said the family is realistic, but hopeful it’s not Caylee.

”The last six months have been the hardest six months of our lives and we understand that the ongoing investigation and prosecution of our daughter, Casey, will consume our lives with conflict,” Conway read from the statement. “Based on recent developments we are realistic but continue to hope and pray that these remains are not those of our precious granddaughter Caylee Marie.”
Once the medical examiner and the defense examine the remains, the remains, if Caylee’s, will be released to the Anthonys.
“If it is Caylee Marie, they will make proper burial,” Conway told Eyewitness News.
“If it is Caylee Marie, they will make proper burial,” Conway told Eyewitness News.
Eyewitness News reported last week that sources close to the investigation said they are possibly building a case against Caylee’s grandparents for obstruction of justice. Sources told Eyewitness News, if charges were pursued, it would be after the remains were identified and it would come from the forensic evidence that was recently taken from the Anthony home.
"They have cooperated. They have done nothing,” Conway said.
Conway said he plans to meet with the lead prosecutor and detectives later this week to ask for full immunity for the Anthonys.
“We will not speculate. If the attorney officially decides to ask our office, well will address it then,” said Danielle Taverneri, spokesperson for the State Attorney’s Office.
Conway admits the Anthonys have made conflicting statements in the past. They will be re-interviewed by investigators. He said, for the next interview they give to authorities, there will not be any conflicting statements.
Attorney Brad Conway also said he is representing the Anthonys for free.
