If LE believed for one second that this was an accident and an uncle panicked, did something, and then put her to rest in the woods, he would not be charged with Murder 1.
Your point seems so obvious, doesn't it? Yet some people, including some tied to the case, can't seem to come to terms with this. I guess it's understandable. Denial ain't just a river. Surely some clear thinking and time will allow most people to realize that this is really happening and that the likelihood of it being an accident is minuscule.
It's one thing for someone to be arrested on suspicion of murder. But the DA has filed murder charges. This means that he/she thinks the case can be proven.
In cases where someone is charged with murdering a child, I have read many times from family members who just don't think Little Johnny would do something like that. But this case is a little more bizarre because the victim and perp are related. It seems like nobody would defend a family member who is charged with murdering another family member. I'm sure it happens. But it seems odd to me.
