This was from 10 pages ago, but when I listed FL's mitigating/aggrevating circumstances - I didn't mean to say the mitigating factors existed in FACT, just that the defense will argue them. KC is young, no criminal record until this summer that we know of, and if KC is convicted, I'd bet the defense will go for a "psychotic break" in June that caused KC to go insane - as a mitigating circumstance.
Also during the sentencing phase you hear victim impact statements. As much as, well, the entire world loves Caylee now, there don't seem to be that many people who knew her personally in life to testify. JG & RG will be up there, Great Grandma will be up there with her cats. But I don't know - as much as CA, GA, and LA really loved Caylee, I don't think they'd get up in court and advocate for the death penalty for their daughter. Usually you have the victim's relatives giving heart wrenching testimony - but here, they'd know that means killing KC.
So its a difficult situation- I don't know if a jury would agree on death with CA up there pleading for her daughters life.
