Hazy, hot and humid here (3H's). Typical FL weather.
I just wanted to weigh in on the Anthony trial real quick. My theory is that Casey put Caylee in the back seat of her car with a piece of duct tape on her mouth so she could go and do drugs, and have sex with her boyfriend at his apartment. Problem was that she forgot about the child. In Florida during the summer, with the windows rolled up, the child probably boiled to death.
Casey (doped up, forgets about the child), comes out after about 6 hours, finds the child dead, then tries to decide how to get rid of the body. After a few days, she decides to tell her father. George Anthony, being a former homicide cop, fixes everything (that's why the prosecution had no physical evidence). Imho, if the coroner had preformed a complete autopsy (to include the skull), they may have had a cause of death.
Imo, the jury had enough circumstantial evidence to convict Casey of manslaughter. No way was the prosecution going to get murder one (or felony murder).
And what's worst, is that Casey Anthony will probably cash in (book, movie, etc.).
Sound plausible to you?
That's my take on this whole terrible affair.

Yes, that sounds quite plausible to me. I also suspect that she may have put chloroform on the duct tape to help little Caylee stay quiet and either used too much and/or left her in the car to bake to death.
