I am under the impression that there was trouble in the family when Casey was very young, and she was three when they moved to Florida and Hopespring Drive.
Cindy worked full time the whole time her children grew up, and her dad's work was sporatic, causing friction in the home.
Lee showed some strange thought processes on the stand, which I have not seen from him in the past; signs of jealousy, and a feeling of not belonging.
I think based on the family dynamics that Casey showed a strong personality and was adored, not molested, by her father. Lee being the oldest, tried to get his parents approval, and felt lacking.
I think Casey was spoiled as a child, and got her own way, and as the years went by she learned how to manipulate, and certainly learned how to keep the attention on her.
Everyone else was to step down and give her the attention she wanted and craved.
When Caylee was born, Casey lost first place in the attention dept, and she sought attention elsewhere. But the world didn't see her as the princess she grew up thinking she was. So she ended up being stuck all the time with the one person who stole her limelight, Caylee.
As Caylee and Cindy's relationship grew closer and closer, and as Caylee began to be able to tell Cece where she had been and what they had done, Cece began to threaten Casey with taking custody of Caylee from her, thus basically kicking Casey to the wayside, much like how Lee felt.
I don't know if she planned to murder Caylee, or if she was just planning on drugging her and putting her in the trunk so she could go have fun without getting calls from Cindy about time to come home, and Caylee succombed to that.
However, hair samples have not shown that this was a common occurance, which leaves, if choloform was used, it was premeditated, and if not, she was taped, hands and face to keep her quiet.
I do find it strange that some people didn't smell the stench coming from the car that night, while others were aghast by it.
I don't know that the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt in that court of law.
Her lies are the best witness they have, that and Caylee being found so close to home.

Great insights. I agree with you all the way. CA let KC get away with everything, LA was the odd man out, and GA just hung around the sidelines knowing he didn't stand a chance with the two dominant females. I feel for him and LA, but we are what we are.
The entire family dynamic contributed to where they are today.
