This would have allowed her to be the center of attention, get sympathy, and free her from mommyhood.

That piece of fiction simply doesn't erupt from the mind of a woman accused of murdering a child that died by misfortune or neglect.<br />The duct tape also seems quite incongruous with an accidental death.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862216235066807651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-78884873892893382872011-02-25T08:52:28.670-05:002011-02-25T08:52:28.670-05:00The internet searches are a little too broad to at...The internet searches are a little too broad to attribute them directly to Caylee's murder. If she had added into the search query references of a "child", then yes. But for all we know, she could have entertained the idea of offing her parents at that point in time.<br /><br /><br />The other issue you raised is a psychological one. And I do agree with your thought. I've not much experience in that field. In my previous, I am looking at the accident theory in terms of physical evidence. What theories the defense could be (or could have) gone with that are plausible with the evidence we have thus far.<br /><br />I absolutely do NOT believe this is a case of an accidental death, by the way. So don't get me wrong there. I'm just playing devil's advocate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-62597631853151534252011-02-24T07:18:59.504-05:002011-02-24T07:18:59.504-05:00In my opinion, Anonymous,there are two things that...In my opinion, Anonymous,there are two things that, combined, shred the credibility of any accident scenario. First of all, the internet research that began months before Caylee's death demonstrate Casey's desire to eliminate her daughter. Secondly, if it had been an accident, I do not think Casey could have remained quiet about that. At some point between mid-June and the discovery of the body in December, she would have told that story under pressure from her family or to law enforcement. As a narcissist, she would have been likely to believe that would extract herself from the situation particularly if she disclosed the location of the body.<br />To trot out that story at this late date would only bring ridicule.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862216235066807651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-7383894757858415992011-02-24T06:21:47.071-05:002011-02-24T06:21:47.071-05:00In all likelihood, Caylee could have died accident...In all likelihood, Caylee could have died accidentally or by neglect (e.g. drowned while unsupervised) and Casey could have decided to dispose of the body in a panic, therefore placing the duct tape over the mouth and nose and placing the possible sticker and wrapping in garbage bags. Remeber, there was no actual sticker found on the duct tape, just sticky residue in the shape of a heart. There is nothing that proves that did not occur in that way. It will be up to the Prosecution to CONVINCE the jury to believe it happened in the way they put forward, for there to be a unanimous verdict. <br /><br />Personally, I don't know if I could sentence someone to death without hard proof that it was in fact a first-degree murder.<br /><br />Life sentence, heck yeah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-67214426384963299532011-02-23T21:12:56.622-05:002011-02-23T21:12:56.622-05:00True, anonymous, but unfortunately not every juror...True, anonymous, but unfortunately not every juror has a lick of sense.<br />Glad you liked my book.<br />I've been to thehinkymeter many times but not in recent months.

There are just too many actual facts that connect the circumstantial items of evidence for them to find anything else. It just jumps out at you about as fast as her family's lies on her behalf do. There is always the OJ criminal trial and Spector 1 to give us a little chill, but due to the fact that a sweet baby girl's life was snuffed out at the hands of her mother, I don't see a juror with an "agenda" on the horizon. Thanks for the good posts and the wonderful books and more that come from the great minds on this site.
