I know. That duct tape and missing for 31 days is pretty hard to explain; especially when the mother has admitted her daughter has been missing for 31 days. It’s a pretty good bet Casey did this since she is the one who had access to her daughter.
It’s more than a good bet, it’s a slam dunk. The defense theory put forth without any evidence, makes zero sense. Why hide an accident? Why would slutmom DELETE her incriminating searches for neck breaking, etc? Why would she have claimed to have spoken to her daughter shortly before the 911 call? Why obstruct the police? Why was Larry Mokirlyjo put in charge of the jury? Why was the woman juror who did come forward twice held back from second grade? OK I made that last one up. There was no evidence she was held back from second grade a second time.
What would be wrong with states, or maybe even localities, requiring potential jurors to take a minimum competency test? They would still be a jury of peers in that slutmom was a cunning liar.
