“Do you think that not one juror was concerned about the duct tape over Caylee’s mouth and nose?”
I bet they were. But there was not enough proof Casey did it. If I was on the jury I’d believe she did it but likely acquit. The sad fact of the matter is there was no good evidence and the witnesses were all impeached except her brother who wasn’t all that helpful anyways. The prosecution did an awful job (not that the defense was very impressive but the burden doesn’t lie on the defense) and hardly showed it beyond a reasonable doubt. Sadly our court system, in efforts to protect the innocent, sometimes let the guilty off the hook.
There is no reasonable explanation for the mother’s behavior once her daughter “went missing”. The mother began telling people a lie ... then more lies ... then more. She made up a story about a nanny who was watching her daughter. She said the nanny took the daughter out of town. She said the nanny had a car wreck and was in the hospital so her daughter had to stay out of town.
When the mother’s family began asking where the daughter was, she denied her daughter was missing.
To pretend this lady did not cause her daughter’s death is shameful.
If your child walked from the kitchen into the living room with cookie crumbs on his mouth and all over his hands and you then noticed the lid was off the cookie jar and several cookies were missing, I’m assuming you couldn’t chastise your child because there was only circumstantial evidence he ate the cookies.
Let us all mourn the death of common sense.
