The chloroform was an anesthetic (caring mother that Casey was) and a sleep-inducer. The idea, in all likelihood, was to tape Caylee up after she got to sleep, but before she awakened—especially if Casey was still unsure about how how much chloroform to use. No fuss. No mess. No crying, No squirming. What’s so complicated?
You are participating in the most horrible display of mob rule in history. Aside from the Nazis. This must be similar to what Germany was like in the 30’s.
