Hello WS
Quote Respect Mendara
Thank you for posting the questions my mind is too confused right now to remember.
Re: "the DNA being explained away as Casey being her mother." Yes! This has been a bee running in my mind but I could not spit it out as a thought. As a juror I would not be convinced either way about Casey's DNA being found on/or near Caylee. The duct tape...yeah. If there had been a clear print on the other side of the tape and it was Casey's-I would be very compelled toward "Casey killed Caylee." I wonder why Casey's fingerprints weren't found on the duct tape?
I have said it before, I would have to hear Casey testify if I were a juror on this case before I would be able to give my vote. So I am hoping with you that Casey does take the stand. If I were innocent I sure would take the stand.
Also. I am not a mother. I have to give some kind of extra lee-way to Casey, young mothers/mothers in general because of not being a mother. Those of you who have been or are young mothers...is there any lee-way that "she was a young mother?" Can the responsibility drive a girl crazy? Can it be too much?
TIA

Chiquita- ITA with you that I would expect Casey's DNA found on or with Caylee, If she has been found earlier. I suspect if you ran tests on any one of my children, you would find my DNA all over them right now. I hug, kiss, and hold my kids, everyday. I'm certain any number of my hairs would be found on them as well, I wash their laundry and mine together. I think the reason they couldn't find any on Caylee was because she sat out there in those woods for so long. :angel:
Also, to answer you about young motherhood...
I was 23 and a mama to a 4 yd old, a 2 yr old, and a newborn. I never felt like the responsibility was " too much" for me to handle. Of course, I had moments of absolute exhaustion, and some of frustration, ever try to reason with a 2 yr old? Even when I went through the loss of my newborn baby boy, I was never unable to function as a mother to the other two. I had plenty of horribly dark days, but I lived and breathed for my remaining children and their happiness. I can only say I'd never make it through the voire dire in this case as a juror, because I am incapable of understanding how a mother, young or otherwise, could harm her child. If casey wants to peddle the "I'm innocent" routine, I do believe she will need to take the stand in her own defense...I'm just not certain I would be able to stomach watching it.
