This entire line of investigation doesn't make any logical sense to me. Can anyone explain why it is even being pursued? So what if someone else put her body there? Then what would that mean to the guilt or innocence of Casey being the murderer? She still could have murdered Caylee and had someone else place the body there. It does not speak to her innocence in the least. The very most it would suggest was that she had an accomplice.
To prove my point from the opposite perspective: If Casey had been caught red-handed disposing of Caylee you know the defense would argue that it didn't mean Casey killed her. They would say it only proves that she was forced to try to hide the body.
So please can anyone tell me why we, in Florida, are forced to spend so much time, effort and tax money on trying to prove or disprove a fact that would mean little or nothing anyway? Is it that there are so many proverbial trees in the way that we can't see the forrest . . . or is it just that the defense team takes great pleasure in harassing and demoralizing innocents?
Quote Chaney: "Well, if were able to establish a reasonable doubt, as to when the body got put there, and it comes at a time when Casey couldnt have done it, we know conclusively somebody else had to do it. If we know somebody else put the body there, its a question of who and how and when. Thats all were pursuing. We dont know. I wasnt there. You werent there."

All the "ifs" in the world re the water level, the timing, the person and placement of the body still does not give any weight as to who actually murdered Caylee. moo
Bolding by me...
I so agree w/you. I have never understood this line of investigation either. It does not explain the 31 days, the lies, the decomposition in the trunk of Casey's car, how Caylee got out of Casey's possession and care in the first place, etc., etc. If I was on the jury, the whole time the defense was presenting this theory, I would be thinking that it would just be easier to have their client tell the court what happened the last time she had her daughter. I think the main reason the defense is pursuing this though is that they don't have anything else. So in actuality the defense has got nothing.
