They absolutely did connect her to the body. They admitted she died at the hands of the Anthony family. They didn’t raise doubts it could have been a third party. The defense proceeded to slander George Anthony, call him a child molester, and blame him for Caylee’s death. There was absolutely no evidence whatsoever that George did that at all. It was throwing crap against the wall to see if it stuck.
The jury didn’t think so. And it was botched because the prosecutors were lazy and expected the trial by media to do their job for them. They (the DA) deserved the acquittal..
