But, IF somebody else DID do away with little Caylee while she was under her mother’s care, is it just coincidence that Casey didn’t want Caylee found and even lied, for over 30 days, to avoid her being found? What are the odds that someone would kidnap and kill your child and, you don’t report it or even act like anything negative happened at all? What are the odds that would happen?

At law mere flight from a crime scene is not an admission of guilt because it is more prejudicial than probative. Arguably the same standard applies here. So she was a crazy partier and undeniably a bad mother. Even if she didnt kill her who do you think the police would suspect first? The mom who is out partying all the time. What would she have to gain from reporting the dead daughter even if she didn’t do it? By contrast by hiding it she could at least hope no one would ever discover it. That and I assume most parents don’t think rationally when seeing their child dead. Again though I think she killed her but the jury wasn’t presented with enough evidence to show it beyond a reasonable doubt.

The law looks not at odds but reasonableness of possibilities. Although the odds are small it couldn’t be shown beyond a reasonable doubt that she indeed did it.
