I keep going through scenerios in my mind. If she doesn't go, or at least ASK to go it makes her seem indifferent and uncaring about Caylee and to her memory. OR she could play the card that she doesn't want to cause such a commotion by her presence. Although, we know KC not wanting to step OUT of the limelight.
Although, knowing the Narcissistic way she lives her life, then and now, she will want to use this very public affair to be another way to "show" the world how deeply saddened she is by "her" loss. She thinks it may bode well for her case to show a potential jury that she cared about her daughter....... even to the last moments she can possibly spend with Caylee remains. It will be spite on all of us who do shed true tears for this little one. She will find it very easy to carry herself through the ceremony knowing that there are people who think poorly of her but she one ups us all by the mere fact that she is there. I agree it will be "lights, camera, action" , imho too. It will be torture for all of us that would have NEVER spent 31 partying days buying time for the rain to come and cover up our act of violence.
It will force her parents to show their affection for her publically again and she will get their adoration and hugs for how "strong" she is. Her parents now looking for immunity may find it hard to do this, will still go through with it because it will be a last time they can all spend time as a family.
If they go this route, I will be watching for the fake tears by Casey and all the attention she will draw to herself . It will be a final time that Casey can vie for attention from her parents with Caylee.
No matter what is decided for this funeral, it is a lose/lose situation because Caylee is now and forever a memory and will never grace the world with her songs and her sweetness.
