Diane Diamond's interview with Tracy Conroy is fascinating. She was an associate of Padilla's firm who lived with the Anthony's while Casey was out on bail.

Fascinating reading. What a cold-blooded creature ICA is....completely narcissistic. Me me me.
At the beginning of this case, I was willing to entertain the theory that Caylee's death was an accident, the result of an unintentional overdose administered by her mother.
But after listening to the State's case, I am firmly convinced it was premeditated murder. The defense - so far - has shown nothing that would change my mind.
Why premeditated murder? Those 84 hits on "How to make chloroform." Searches for neck breaking and assorted fatal injuries. The totally self-indulgent behavior during those 31 days Caylee was "missing." The lies. Oh, the lies! The constant, relentless lies.
After June 16th, Casey knew Caylee was already dead because she killed her. She was a burden. She took too much attention away from Casey. I have a theory that Casey got pregnant on purpose, thinking, "Whoopee! Now the parents have to take care of me AND my kid for the next 18 years and I can party hearty!" JMO.
But when her mother pressured her to take more responsibility, I think she fumed and fumed and plotted and planned ... and then killed her child. Freaked out trying to figure out what to do with Caylee's body. Packaged her up with duct tape and bags and threw her in the car trunk until the odor got to be too bad. Then she tossed her into the woods, into a garbage pile.
And how did this so-called loving mother "grieve?" She celebrated by spending a whole day and night in bed with Tony Lazzaro. The Hot Body contest. Shopping sprees (with other people's money). The tattoo. She was a happy camper...no more kid! And certainly no pesky job to worry about! Now it's back to being all about Casey! A beautiful life!
She is GUILTY.
That said, I don't believe she will get the death penalty. LWOP. I think anyone who throws their child into the woods and lets her body be dismembered and eaten by animals deserves the needle, but I doubt that will happen. But I'm fine with having her locked up for the rest of her miserable life.
