Here is why: if the body was found sooner rather than later, Casey feared there would be evidence that proved she killed her kid.
84, you seem to act as if you can read Casey's mind, when in fact you can't! Making your font larger don't refute the point that there were very little facts to get a conviction in this case.
Jammer, the biggest point that you seem to miss is this...the DA never could prove how she died, that in fact she was murdered. So unlike your snow falling at night scenario, where even without seeing it, the snow itself is the proof it fell, the body of Caylee in this case was not proof of a murder. There was zero evidence to support her being strangled, let alone in her sleep as 84 with his Obi Wan powers seems to state as a fact that happened,. It was ruled a homicide, but cause of death could not be determined.84 seems to feel that it was up to Casey to prove her innocence, it wasn't. It was up to the prosecutor to prove she committed a murder. They couldn't. You would have to believe that Casey was smart and calculating enough to plan this s"murder" and execute her plan flawlessly, and then lose he mind and act completely crazy afterwards with the partying and what not...that makes zero sense as well. Unfortunately, as disgusting as this seems, a parent definitely has the most opportunities to kill their own child, and because that is such a far fetched concept, it makes proving a case like this very difficult. There was no blood found anywhere, and the fact it took 6 months to find the body could not have been planned on by whoever disposed of the body, given the exhaustive search that was performed, so I don't think it makes sense to act like that was part of a plot. Both you and 84 seem to by the DA's theory hook line and sinker, I on the other hand don't and neither did the jury, as they have stated a huge part of their acquittal was based on the fact that the DA in this case didn't even prove she was murdered. Cause of death wasn't proven , so how can you convict anyone of murder, if you haven't even proved this was an actual murder???
In OJ's case the documented stalk , physical abuse and his fits of rage where not circumstantial, they were facts that could be backed up by documentation and eye witness accounts.
Where there witnesses that heard Casey state how she wanted to be free of her parental responsibilities? Or a journal from Casey stating this? Or any history of abuse etc?? No, in fact there was testimony stating Casey was a loving mom, although irresponsible at times...the DA tried to use her actions after Caylee was missing as proof of motive, but that is making the assumption that every person would act a certain way given the same circumstances and that we now for a fact is not the case. Their never proving a motive was another factor in the jury's mind.
I think we all agree that if Caylee was murdered, then either Casey or her Dad are the only two reasonable culprits here, but you need proof to get a conviction and there simply wasn't enough. Maybe the DA rushed this to the grand jury and could have built more of a case...I don't know, but where do you get that she was suffocated while sleeping? or insinuate something like a bag was used ??? Zero evidence of this....purely speculation on your part....yet you seem to think speculation is enough to convict... thank God it is not is this country.
You seem to think I have allowed the attorney's to trick me into believing something, in fact it's the opposite..I have no idea what actually happened, neither do you, and the DA didn't prove what happened either. You on the other hand seem to take everything the prosecutors say as fact and expect Casey to prove her innocence. I think the jury did their job and actually looked at the facts and evidence presented in this case, and as they stated, they were sicked by a lot of Casey's action, there just wasn't enough proof to convict her.
