The jury did not need to find a specific cause of death. They only needed to be convinced that a murder happened. Finding a body with duct tape wrapped around the head, in a bag, in a swamp, is enough for any reasonable person.

I'm guessing that you didn't fare well in Law School.

What I said is not contrary to law. That’s just the problem. The jurors, like some posters here, got it in their heads that they had to have specific proof of every step in the sequence of events. That is wrong. You can prove that Casey did it beyond a reasonable doubt while still not knowing what time she did it or what her precise motions were.
