Thanks for taking the time to put this together, Whatif. I'd read them in pdf amongst other material, but, this really brings it into focus.
Now I'm seeing in context for the first time the very text that should ABSOLUTELY sink the ZFG-kidnapped Caylee alibi...(as if it really needed more help sinking).
SUNDAY
13TH JULY
ID So what do you do when you work? with the kid that is
KC: I have a nanny. i love her
ID Nice. how much do they charge?
KC: We've been friends for over 6 years. definitely someone i trust.
...ok...so, as a juror go waaaaaaaaaay out on a limb and say you buy the whole ZFG-kidnapping story (I know, I know)....now...if while out there on that limb you tell yourself Casey was secretly searching for Caylee & ZFG but worried about telling anyone for fear of Caylee being harmed, etc. So...still out there on that limb...you convinced yourself Casey's not telling anyone what's gone terribly wrong....now you read the text highlighted above that Casey wrote on
7/13...after Caylee had been allegedly kidnapped by ZFG for weeks...ask yourself why Casey would
GUSH about ZFG vs. just answering the question.
Not only is this an
excellent point, I think it also underscores how deliberately KC was trying to lay the groundwork for her "I did nothing wrong besides hand my daughter to a responsible person whom I totally trusted, etc etc," defense. Iassen was asking a simple question (it had probably just occured to him - wait, you work all the time, you're moving out of your parents, you're gonna live alone with your baby, how the heck can you handle all that...?) which could - and in a normal case, would - be answered simply and nonchelantly.
Yet KC uses this as an oppurtunity to try out her full nanny "script" - even after Iassen tries to move the conversation along.
Iassen asks "what do you do when you work"?
KC responds "I have a nanny. i love her"
Iassen says "nice. how much do they charge?"
Instead of answering right away - KC continues her story with "We've been friends for over 6 years. definitely someone i trust."
KC then answers Iassen's money question, but at this point Iassen has now moved on to ask about Tone.
Iassen: "where does Tone live?"
KC,
still going on about the nanny: "She's a friend. between myself and one of my coworkers, its her main source of income....."
Now, before anyone jumps on this, I totally understand when you're IM-ing with someone, you usually start both typing at the same time, and conversations can get O/T very quickly (happens in most of my IMs, and can be very frustrating at times
![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
). However, when I look at most of KC's IMs - she appears to normally kind of hang back, let the other person say their piece, and then craft her response. In this case, KC is making absolutely sure she types the full "story of the nanny," while barely acknowledging what Iassen says in the interim. It just seems so deliberate and out of place when looking at her typical patterns.
