Why would anyone make an accident appear to be anything else? Because I **have** dealt with parents whose children had just accidentally died I **know** that the actions of Casey are not those of a mother whose child just died accidentally. Because I **have** dealt with people who tried to make a crime appear accidental I do see her actions and behavior being consistent with that of a guilty party. Not just your average armchair spectator. I don't proclaim myself an expert by any stretch. My experiences are mine to rely on. I'm entitled to my opinion same as you and everyone else. :wave:
MOST people know a parent of a child who has died and most people know how most HEALTHY individuals would react if their child died. Casey had imaginary friends, an imaginary world she lived in, parents who treated her terribly, and was taught from the day she was born to LIE LIE LIE about everything. She's not your average mom and you can't make a judgement on her because of your experience with NORMAL moms.
Like The Mom said, you have a bias that would prevent you from ever being a fair juror. The juror's job is not to look at their own past life experiences and biases and judge the defendant based on that. They are to look ONLY AT THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED IN THE CASE and come to a conclusion from that and that alone. They are instructed to keep an OPEN MIND until the very END of the trial. That is what makes it FAIR.
This case actually began just a couple days after I served on a jury so all of the jury instructions were fresh in my mind. I watched the case, almost in its entirety, and kept an open mind throughout, despite the media and tried to think like a juror. Based on the EVIDENCE (not on the MEDIA HYPE), Caylee could have very well have died by accident.
I think most of the public who followed this case had selective hearing. They only paid attention to the parts that made Casey guilty, they ignored the parts that could have made her NOT guilty.
Any parent can tell you right off the bat that a missing child is reported in minutes. Had her parents not called her on it she never ever would have reported it.
Who looks up chloroform? Seriously, that's just not done!
Hair sample had chloroform in it. There doesn't need to be a lot of hair jury, one piece will do.
Casey's DNA was not on the duct tape! !!! I wouldn't ecpect it to be. Ever hear of gloves not to mention degradation?
Trunk smelled of death. Death is death. If you have evr smelled it you'd know. Why this weekend, I had a crappy baby diaper and old McDonalds I left in a hot car for 2 weeks accidentally. It did not smell like death. It stunk bad, but death....no.
Casey was out partying while her daughter was missing....doesn't happen. Just does NOT happen....unless you did it. If my daughter was missing I would horrified for the rest of my life and a shell of a human for ever more.
She lied to police. Why WHy WHY!!!!!!????
Seriously, why.
Not to mention her hamfisted attempts at defense.
And here are 2 words that lead me to think murder: duct tape and chloroform. Where is the "accident" there.
Again, you've only paid attention to ONE side of the case, completely ignoring the other side, like the rest of the public has.
1. Caylee was never missing. Casey knew where she was and this was said on day 1 of the trial. There was no "missing child" to report.
2. Casey looked up chloroform immediately after reading a post on her boyfriend's Myspace where he was going on about chloroform, just like a lot of people with curiosity about their boyfriend would do.
3. Yeah Casey's DNA was not on the duct tape. NEITHER WAS CAYLEE'S!!! Explain that? She decomposed all over the duct tape for 6 months, without leaving a trace of DNA?
4. Only a few people testified that the trunk smelled like death. An equal number of others testified it smelled either like trash, or they didn't smell anything at all. You can't just "conveniently" ignore half of the testimonies.
5. I happen to think that someone who loved their daughter for 2 years would not murder her and then go out and party if they were in their right mind. The only way I believe this is possible is if they believed their daughter was still alive and on a fun little vacation with an imaginary nanny named Zanny. The girl was nuts and in complete denial that Caylee had died.
For the record, I am not claiming to know what happened to Caylee. I have kept an open mind throughout, and there wasn't enough evidence to persuade me either way. I don't form my opinions based on the media or hype, so I will continue to have an open mind and believe it's just as possible that Caylee was murdered in cold blood as it is that she died by accident until some evidence comes out to prove it one way or the other. You know what they say. When you assume you make an...
