OK, I can see this BUT! Did Aunt Mim take her 2 year old daughter away from home, family and everyone she knew, only to return alone 31 days later with ridiculous lies about the whereabouts of said 2 year old? Then have the skeletal remains show up 6 months later, literally feet from her home - with her little skull wrapped in duct tape (special, rare duct tape! - matching a roll found in the family home)
Unless crazy Aunt Mim was involved in a similar story, I can't see the hardest, most jaded adult, not wanting ICA's head on a platter for this - I think this jury is going to be THAT repulsed by the photos from the dump site, that ICA is TOAST! All of them will want to be there to see her put out of her miserable existence.
We do all want the killer held accountable for the repulsive crime that happened to Caylee, that goes without saying. But there's no proof released (so far) that Casey is the one who did that to her. Casey is obviously not the only person who could have taped Caylee's face or put her body in the trunk of the Pontiac, or at that site. And no forensic evidence (released so far) connects Casey to the action of taping Caylee or placing her remains at the site, no hair, dna on the tape etc that match Casey. She didn't have exclusive access to anything found with Caylee. Meanwhile there
was hair from someone else on the Disney bag (that had the gatorade bottle with the syringe that had steroids and chloroform in it) and there is DNA from someone else on the tape.
We have to keep in mind there was absolutely no history of abuse or neglect. Caylee was a healthy, happy, well adjusted toddler all the way up to the June 15 video. All witnesses said that Caylee was very bonded to Casey and vice versa.
Regarding mental illness or some kind of medical delirium or disorientation, IMO there's plenty of indications that Casey could be delusional or delirious or confused in some way, or even traumatized for all I know. For example, her illogical statements to LE, inability to provide basic information for the weeks in question, confusion of past and present events, still thought she worked at Universal and frequented Sawgrass etc, her belief that she had a movie star as her coworker, and about one of her co-workers being a "different" Jeff Hopkins. The fact that she told one story about Caylee's going missing at Sawgrass, then very shortly after told a different story (Jay Blanchard Park) and apparently didn't see any problem with telling two different stories. The way the video of Caylee talking about her book seemed to have morphed in Casey's mind into a phone call she'd received from Caylee in which she talked about her book. A sane person would know all these things would very quickly be disproved, and would only make her look bad for saying them. Her theme that someone had given her a sort of verbal script to tell police, her theme that others had stolen her life, etc. Her failure to report the disappearance, her vagueness and illogical thinking processes and actions during the missing weeks and after, her completely inappropriate affect in mid-July, no urgency, no concern, preoccupied with trivial things, very flat voice and affect, very thin, vacant expression, etc. (Old friends said this was not like the Casey they knew at all, big change.) And on and on.
The detectives noticed how strange her statements were and asked her if she'd ever been committed at the mental hospital before. One of the defense attorneys also wanted to pursue the mental health angle (he left the team when this was not done.) Also, on the purely medical side, there's the history of (apparently untreated) seizures. I'm also curious about the way her eyes jiggle and wonder what the cause is. Personally, I do think it likely that either medical issues or mental health issues could be involved. Might not have anything to do with her being a killer. MOO
