WESH NEWS: ORLANDO, Fla. — Offers are rolling in for one of the most iconic pieces of evidence in the ***** Anthony’s murder trial — her white Pontiac Sunfire.
The car is still in the possession of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, which says the car can be picked up anytime by George and Cindy Anthony, who own the car.
Their attorney, Mark Lippman, told WESH 2 News he’s been getting calls from people interested in buying the car.
The car was thought to be key to proving the state’s murder case against Anthony. Numerous witnesses took the stand to say how the car smelled like it had at one point carried around a body.
“There are collectors of macabre things. Apparently this falls into that category now,” Lippman said.
There are also attorneys who make money from macabre people. "This" sale, although belonging in "that" category is something we have noted. This is how our words, chosen in less than a microsecond, reveal us.
The Kelley Blue Book lists the normal value on a used Sunfire at about $3,000, but Lipman said it could go to a collector for more than that. The money would be donated to the new foundation the Anthonys are establishing in memory of Caylee Anthony.
“I’ve had multiple offers to purchase it, but George and Cindy do not want to profit off it by any means,” Lippman told WESH.
Note two things here:
"George and Cindy do not "want" to profit is not the same as saying they will not profit. We do many things we do not "want" to do. The weakness is plain.
Next note the additional words "by any means" added to the denial. These are "extra words"; ie, that which the sentence works without them, but are valuable to us.
Where would the car go? Not to the National Museum of Crime and Punishment in Washington, D.C., the museum’s CEO told WESH. The museum has items like the so-called Bonnie and Clyde car riddled with bullet holes and vehicles belonging to Ted Bundy and John Dillingers.
“There wasn’t any proof it was part of a crime. It’s not a true historic artifact, so its value should diminish in the wake of that,” said museum CEO Janine Vaccarello.
Note that the State of Florida and the nation of the United States would disagree with the museum CEO's assertion. What motive would she have for making this statement?
She said she can understand why plenty of private collectors want to call the car their own.
Lippman said Tuesday the Anthonys have not yet made a decision on what to do with the car. He said he isn’t ruling out sending the car to scrap if that’s what his clients want.
Note that we do not have a direct quote, but if this is how he worded it, we can proceed with:
he says what he hasn't ruled out rather than what is actually being considered. By telling us what he "isn't" ruling out, he is speaking in the negative, making it sensitive. Given the history of his statements, along with the analysis of the word "want", it is safe to conclude that nothing will happen to that car which will not profit the Anthonys and their attorney; either by direct dollars or by the 'capital' of public relations. It will not go quietly.
