I have to agree with you, the evidence we know of will not be enough proof to equate beyond a reasonable doubt, at least it would not if I were on the jury. The fibers in this thread are just one of the pieces of evidence that seem to be more exculpitory than inculpitory. If I were on a jury and was told that there might have been a dead body in the trunk of a car, but there was a bag of maggot infested trash in the trunk of that car for at least a couple weeks in the summer sun of Florida, I would tend to believe there was a strong possibility that any horrible smell from said trunk would probably have come from the trash vs. the posibilty of a dead body. I am certain we do not have all the evidence in front of us, but with the evidence we have been presented so far in this fascinating case, I can't find a verdict of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. When an FBI report says q12 exhibits characteristics of apparent decomposition at the proximal (root) end, as a juror I need more info. Apparent decomp sounds like maybe to me. So, in order for me to find someone guilty in a dp case, I need more than one solitary hair that might suggest decomp. Yes, when a number of circumstances point in the same direction, it can be used to help determine things, but in my opinion, that is not the case here. If for instance, the trunk scenario of having Caylee's body is not pursued by the prosecutor because the fibers do not match, then all circumstantial evidence involved with the trunk will not come into evidence at trial. Were that to happen the smell of death, the coffin wax, the alleged decomp hair won't even come into play at trial. So, because we are all guessing at what might come into play at trial, and because we are speculating and forming opinions based on what we read in these threads and on the docs and pictures we are all allowed our own opinions. As new doc dumps emerge, I may reform a previous opinion based on newly released documents. I am not afraid to change my opinion. I think we all need to keep an open mind and evaluate all newly released evidence. These fibers, the FBI docs, the maggot infested trash, and the relative newness of air sample evidence gives me the opinion that the prosecutor will not go down the trunk road in trial. I know there is a mountain of circumstantial evidence out there, but each new doc dump seems to disqualify some of that mountain. Just my opinion of course, but if the future brings more docs that disintegrate current circumstantial evidence, then the prosecutions case may not be nearly as strong as the early indications were.

I do not know of any trunk fiber evidence that prosecutors have to work with. Nor do they have a fabric match between the duct tape found on Caylee to any duct tape that was sourced from the house. From what I know, fiber evidence is basically a dry hole for the State.
In fact, I do not know of any highly reliable evidence whatsoever that places Caylee in the trunk of Casey's car. Moreover, there's no evidence that I know of that places Casey where Caylee's body was found.
The circumstances surrounding Caylee's death are but guesswork and there's no eyewitness, no confession and no physical evidence that proves any of the State's top three charges. If I were the trial Judge, based on the evidence I know of and at a minimum, I would not let the trial proceed with the 1st degree murder charge.
