For a solid month you are searching for the babysitter and finally find her. She has been on vacation and says someone else took the child but all phone numbers, all leads, the ENTIRE story she tells is a lie, a provable lie.
The trunk of your babysitters car smells horrible - many people with experience claim it smells like a body was there. A hair from your child is found with the banding that shows during decomposition. You can't prove there was a body, but there are signs indicating there was. The entire state is searching for your child and finally, months later finds that child in a swamp, wrapped in a blanket you had left with the babysitter, AND there is a specific brand of duct tape inside that bag, appearing to look like it was across the face of your child.
Now, tell me the babysitter should walk free. That you would accept the babysitter had nothing to do with the death of your child.
She wasn’t with the babysitter. She was with her mother. All of the evidence also supports a kidnapping. All of those things would have been present. No DNA was found in the trunk. If a body was stored there for any length of time, there would be something.
Go this route. Let’s say your child disappeared. The FIRST suspect will be you. How do you prove that you didn’t do it?
I'm sure you guys have been all over this for several hours now and I have nothing new to add but,..................wow!
Casey is guilty as hell.
Prosecutor had a simple case:
1. Caylee is dead;
2. Caylee was missing for a month before her mother reported her missing;
3. Casey did the internet searches for cloroform and breaking necks;
4. The duct tape;
5. The lies to the police;
6. The tattoo;
7. Partying while her daughter was missing;
8. Lies about a caretaker;
9. Not telling her family Caylee was missing.
10. The odor in the car trunk (should have had it tested; major FU).
11. If Caylee had drowned, why not simple call 911 or the authorities?
The prosecution should have been able to present its case in no more than two weeks.
Instead of telling a simple story, the prosecutor made it complex and the members of the jury weren’t too bright so they were swayed by the “story” presented by the defense attorney.
Prosecutor should have kept it simple.
