Supposedly there was a big family blowout the night of the 15th which was triggered by Casey stealing from Grandma. (More than one source has mentioned Cindy choked Casey).
If that evening was the straw that broke the camel's back, the investigators should have leaned on each and everyone of them all of them hard until they were able to account for every minute. It would have taken some hard leaning, because by now the Anthony's do not have to get those types of lies straight. They know what to say.
Excellent points. I guess the effort to dazzle with forensics went too far. I know the smell of human dead bodies from nursing over 20 years ago- I can smell it this instant..(in my mind if that makes sense) and I know the way K-9’s are trained- I completely believe there was a dead body in the car- but the fellow from Oak Ridge may have gone over the heads of the jury.
Perhaps the prosecution should have stuck to old-fashioned circumstantial instead of 21st century. Told the story instead of told the forensics.
I will be interested in the future of the technology introduced in this trial.
Jeff Ashton was the first prosecutor to use DNA as evidence many years ago- and he was ridiculed then too..
The defense was effective in using smoke and mirros and confusion.
I just heard something pretty interesting- which may or may NOT mean anything. The alternate juror who has spoken out said “WE ALL believed...”
Question- since he was NOT part of deliberations and was removed from the 12 who decided, how could he have known what they ALL believed? Of course it’s possible they all got on the phone with each other AFTER the verdict- but still...it struck me as odd.
