Narcissism and deep resentment will work for Casey. Typical 25 year old single mother whose child’s every basic material need is met by the working grandmother and the grandfather and not by her. Pool, playhouse, plush little bedroom, little parties, ribbons and bows. You know how grandmother’s are.
Casey, herself, lied to her parents about having a job working at Universal Studios for TWO YEARS.
In all the publicity about this case, I have never heard about how Casey has been supporting herself the years of Caylee’s short life. She did NOT have a job, yet she dressed well and dressed her child well. In other testimony (that was suppressed for this trial) she stole money and checks from her mother, from her grandmother, from a roommate, and who knows where else. I think Casey has already been convicted of some of those crimes. If not, they are still pending. The jury was not allowed to hear about those crimes.
Yet, Casey lived a rather lavish lifestyle that can’t totally be explained by Cindy’s largesse. Where was she getting her money? Wasn’t the summer of 2008 the period when gasoine hit $4 a gallon the last time? The period just before the economy hit the fan?
I saw the attorney, Wendy Murphy, commenting on this on Geraldo this past weekend. I had to scramble to find the remote so that I could turn off the sound (I hate Geraldo) but I heard Murphy’s charges before I changed stations.
Murphy used to always be part of Nancy Grace’s panels on other cases. She is the brunette with long hair who is rather sarcastic in her comments. Anyhow, she was over the top in her comments this past weekend. Murphy flat stated that we are not hearing the real case from either side in this trial.
Murphy stated that there is a lot of evidence that has been suppressed — pictures, witnesses, etc. Murphy thinks that Casey has been “pimping out” Caylee. Murphy thinks that Caylee was getting to the age where she could no longer be kept quiet — that eventually Caylee would reveal what was going on in Casey’s hidden life.
Also, did all of you realize that Casey lead her former fiance into believing that Caylee was his child for almost 2 years before that lie was revealed?
In my opinion, she’s likely a sociopath who uses people and manipulates situations to suit her. Though her parents appears dysfunctional I think it is a function of trying to deal with a daughter who is deeply flawed. Perhaps they were supporting her and then at some point insisted that she get a job. The pregnancy might have been intentional so as to keep them “on the hook”. Once the baby was of little or no use she was gone. She didn’t need Mom & Dad any longer as she had the new boyfriend.
