Casey could never reveal the truth because she duct taped Caylee's airways. You don't accidentally duct tape someone's face. She was going with the odds that her body would never be found. Legally, premeditation can happen in seconds and it takes a lot longer than seconds to duct tape someone's mouth/nose and smother them to death. I hope the SAs do a demonstration for the jury---- have complete silence for the time it takes to pull three long pieces of duct tape off a roll then put them on something (perhaps a baby doll), then wait the normal range of time it takes to smother someone. Caylee didn't just lay there and go to sleep, she was tortured.
We had a poster here a while back who had her mouth duct taped by an intruder. I'll never forget her post--about how the glue on the tape burned her throat, how she struggled using her tongue in order to get the tiniest bit of air in order to breath (she is a real hero, I hope she still reads here and reads this post,
I'll never forget your story of courage).
Back to Casey, I think we can safely assume Casey didn't carry duct tape in her pocket so it would have taken time to get it. She could have stopped before she put the first piece on. She could have stopped before the 2nd piece, or the 3rd. She did not. She could have pulled or cut all three pieces off before Cayee died but she didn't (even if it was just enough to allow her to breath and therefore live). She coldly and methodically with premeditation killed her. It doesn't get any worse than that.
15-20 years to someone like Casey (heck to anyone) is a life time, especially to someone whose entire life revolves around her looks. She will be ~43 when she gets out if she gets 20 years (and that's if she serves all 20 years, doubtful). She would most likely still be able to have children.
If Casey would have been offered a sweetheart deal to get out in 1-2 years she would have sung like a canary. Casey is all about Casey and no one else. Casey has been over the top cocky since the beginning. I really believe she thinks she's going to walk out of the courthouse after the trial a free woman, limo waiting, deals brokered for movies, books, etc.
I'm in the minority. I think Casey has no shame, none, nadda, zip. She stole from her grandparents knowing she would get caught. She emptied Amy's bank account knowing she would get caught. She even wiped out Caylee's piggy bank. She lied every day of her life to everyone. She cursed her mother loudly in front of neighbors. She showed up at a wedding clearly pregnant but denied it. I won't even get into the bed hopping with men. She cares about herself and everyone else better stay out of her way. She was still grinning from ear to ear when she got arrested for child endangerment (or whatever the first charge was). That didn't even phase her. Most mothers would have crumpled up in a heap of tears but not Casey, she was happy as a clam. She got to get her picture taken. Wahoo...picture time.
Casey chose the possibility of LWOP or death when she killed Caylee. She has the same trait as the rest of the As. They're all arrogant and stupid which is a great combination for prosecutors. The prosecutors are simply doing their jobs. The jury will decide Casey's fate, not Casey. FWIW I still think Casey thinks she's going to walk out of there a free woman after trial and become a celebrity.
IMO
