The prosecution is suggesting mummifaction took place prior to the disposal of the body, which inhibited the blowfly activity from beginning until the middle of February

Did I miss something?

I don't recall the prosecution suggesting that she had been placed there later. They seem to be sticking with the 2/1-2 time period. In fact, wasn't it one of their witnesses who brought out the fact that the drag marks were such that their was no way to be construed as a body being dragged. The drag marks were more in line and size with an animal having pulled out insides then dropping them and dragging them.

You did not miss anything, what is missing is any reasonable explanation for the prosectutions theory of the crime.

The prosecution is asking the jury to believe that Danielle was virtually instantly (less than two days) mummified upon death and deposited at Dehesa and that for some unfathomable reason, the blow flies could not find the body for 10-14 days; but then offers up an explanation that if the blow flies did find the body right away, that ONE ant ate all the fly larva for at least 10 days and which time the number of blow larvi overwhelmed the ability of ONE ant to keep feeding fast enough to prevent the complete developement of blow fly larva 10 days later.

The prosecution's assertions are preposterous.
