Hi all. I'm a newbie.
(Please disregard any spelling errors, I'm Dutch and I'm too lazy to do a spellingcheck everytime I type something.)
I haven't really been following this case and after hearing today's witnesses I have some observations/questions that I hope you guys can shed some light on. First off, based on JB's opening statement's he gave the indication that George Anthony somehow got rid of Caylee's body after she drowned. I assume, IF he's going to go down this road, he's going to argue that GA drove Caylee's body to the woods. IF this is his game plan, why is he making such a fuss about the hair and the other evidence in the car? Is he only going to argue that the hairs fond were Caylee's IF George was the one driving but NOT if Casey is considered the driver?
I don't see how this helps his credibility. If you're going to argue accident and cover up, I assume you have a solid theory about what exactly happened. Right now, he seems to be argueing with the witnesses instead of building a solid case - a solid argument as what could be considered an alternative scenario.
Back to my question, is there anything tying only Casey to the car? Was it only in her posession during that time? Did anyone ever see anyone other than Casey driving that car?
OFF TOPIC: The jury system in the United States is fascinating. It's so fascinating (for a lack of another word) how trials are decided by people who don't really know much about law, criminals or psychology. In my opinion, it places a HUGE burden on the prosecution.
OKAY, this was long.
I find this case interesting. Too bad it's all going on during exams.
