My thought to add to your post...is what if Caylee was already strapped into the car seat, alive, while the duct tape was being administered? Just a thought...I have no proof.
I've always thought that Caylee was laying down when the tape was applied, but the car seat scenario fits too.
Its never made sense to me that there were 3 seperate pieces of tape rather than one long one wrapped around the head multiple times. It would be easier and more effective that way,( if the intent was to kill the victim) imo.
It
would be possible for an almost three yr old to pull off tape when its in three sperate pieces, but not so much if it were wrapped around the entire head.
Hubby allowed me to use him as a lab rat today.:woohoo:
I firmly placed three long pieces of duct tape covering his mouth, nose and ears and attatched to his hair.(not that there's much of it....lol).
Even though the top layer of tape reached to just below his lower eye lids, he could still breath! Within a few seconds he manipulated the tape with his tongue, and his mouth was free. Pulling the rest of the tape off was not such an easy task though.(hehe)
TotallyObsessed: I just don't think a 2 yeard old could rip off duct tape from their own mouth, while it is attached to their hair. Have you ever had to pull a band aid off a boo-boo on a child? O..M.G. - I always had to use the snatch- and- pull- by- surprise method. Band aids hurt like heck, much less duct tape. Ouch! Not to say that Caylee could not have done it, but I think it would have been difficult.
I agree.... but pulling a bandaid off is not a life threatening situation (even though a child might act like it is :wink
. The survival instinct would kick in, even for an almost 3 yr old, when duct tape is covering their airways.
My thinking is that Caylee was sedated- but if she was sedated then why would KC not lift her head to wrap the tape around the entire head if she wanted to be sure it never came off?
I still don't think she meant for Caylee to die....she just wanted her silent in the trunk of the car while she went to blockbuster and chilled with her bf.:furious:
That scenario doesn't make it any better than if her intent
was to kill her beautiful child- it's vile and just plain sickening....and still caused the death of Caylee.
