I agree with A_News_Junkie, but one thing I did not realize is the last part of your statement.
If 'neglect' is involved, then Casey would have faced felony charges, resulting in a life sentence/death penalty??? I don't know the law in FL, but in my state, which generally all states follow similar guidelines for criminal charges, so I assumed the charge, based upon neglect, would be a lesser charge. One of second degree manslaughter. I realize the degrees of penalty do differ from state to state, however, wouldn't Casey have benefited by telling the truth, in order to secure a lesser charge?
The law would have to prove neglect,..I assume, and most surely, a child left unattended near any pool, locking a child in a car trunk, or alone at home without supervision, equals neglect. My question is,...where was the above-ground pool ladder? Cindy stated that it was always locked in an upright position to avoid this type of tragedy. So, therefore, Casey pulled the ladder down? To swim, or to set her daughter up to drown? Was Casey high, or did she premeditate this whole thing, and not being the brightest bulb in the box,...miscalculate?
Further, I thought that Lee was the person, who Casey gave the heads-up as to the location of the baby's body? The reference to the homeowners in the area of the body disposal site? The reference to the cement blocks,...etc...
In my opinion, this whole trial is a joke. I realize they must try her, but using an unqualified murder attorney (Biaz), to represent you, is a mistrial/appeal, in the making. Pretty smart.
