DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Attorney Brad Conway asked the public and media to respect the Anthony family privacy just hours after George Anthony was found alive with a suicide note on Friday morning.
“This has been nothing less than hell,” Conway said at a news conference in front of the Orange County Courthouse. "George...has been pushed to the brink of what might have been another tragedy in this case."
“They need a little bit of distance,” said Conway, who credited law enforcement with swift action in the case.
George Anthony’s daughter, Casey Anthony, is charged in connection with the death of his granddaughter, Caylee, whose remains were found in December, five months after the family reported her missing.

Authorities in Daytona Beach earlier Friday confirmed that a suicide note was found with George Anthony at a hotel along U.S. Highway 1.
Investigators said the eight-page note indicated George Anthony was at the end of his rope, and that once he was gone, his family would have a better life. He wrote about how strong his daughter, Casey Anthony, is and said he doesn't believe she hurt her daughter, Caylee. However, he did make dark, veiled references to his daughter's friends.
George Anthony also wrote in the letter that his wife, Cindy, could do better than him. He also wrote about his son, Lee Anthony.
Daytona Beach Police Chief Michael Chitwood transported George Anthony to a Daytona Beach hospital for psychiatric evaluation after he was found early Friday morning.
According to officials, George Anthony and his wife were expected to meet with Brad Conway on Thursday, but George Anthony never showed up. Conway called the Orange County Sheriff's Office to file a missing person's report. Listen to the 911 Call
Cindy Anthony said she noticed prescription medicine bottles and a picture of herself and of their daughter, Casey Anthony, missing from the house along with her husband.
According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office incident report, George Anthony began sending text messages at 10:47 p.m. Thursday.
His wife told members of the sheriff's office that the messages sent to her and other friends said that he did not want to live anymore, and that he wanted to be with Caylee. Cindy Anthony said he also texted that he wanted to be left alone and to make sure Caylee was in God's arms.
Using the GPS locator on George Anthony's cell phone, police located him at the Hawaii Motel on Ridgewood Avenue near Wilder Boulevard shortly before 2 a.m.
Motel staff said Anthony checked into Room No. 106 on Thursday evening and said he had business in Daytona Beach on Friday. Police said they found remnants of fast food and beer, blood-pressure medication and other pill jars.
Investigators said they used Florida's Baker Act to take Anthony to Halifax Health Medical Center for a mental evaluation. They said Anthony's demeanor was more melancholy than suicidal. No gun was found in the motel room or car.
Anthony was listed in stable condition on Friday. He was admitted and will undergo a medical evaluation and mental health evaluation that will determine the length of his stay, Halifax Health Medical Center spokeswoman Salina Wang said.
The Baker Act allows authorities to transport people to a state mental health facility if they're believed to be a threat to themselves. An involuntary exam can be performed if the person is deemed mentally ill and can be held for up to three days against their will for treatment.
A member of the Orange County Jail's health services staff notified Casey Anthony on Friday of the situation with her father.
At this moment, I could not possibly dislike Casey Anthony any more than I do.

of course the anthony's want immunity because george anthony is Caylee's real father by incest with Casey
March 22 2009.
DNA on Lee came back that he is not Caylee's dad. I want the DNA on George taken and prove his is not Caylee's dad. Little Caylee resembles George to a TEE. Alot of girls resembles their daddy more than mommy. I feel if we had this DNA done on George we would know why Casey did what we all think she did to Caylee.
Why did George move out of the house in 2005 after Caylee was born? It is because Cindy found out it was George who father the baby. After a year went on Cindy decided to have George more back in to get to know is granddaugther/daughter.
Casey broke up with Grund because she said he loved caylee more than her. I feel it is because as Caylee was getting older Jessie saw the resemblous to George and he mentioned this to Casey. Casey told Grund that Lee made advances to her but Grund probably realize it was George.
Check George's DNA against Caylee and Bingo we have a match.

Funny they would test Lee and not George given the bizarre circumstances of this family. They do have George's DNA, so why not do the paternity match? If anything it would help Casey's defense prove that she was also a victim.
exactly
My first thought when I started reading about this case was that George could be the father so it's eerie that this is all being said now....
It would make a lot of sense out of the whole story if it were true...
If it is true, Casey should tell it to someone.
