I can't imagine putting duct tape on a living child, much less a dead one.
what is your take on the missing hyoid?

Years ago, when the Christian Brothers taught me,a thesaurus was a needed tool.The real world proved different.Maybe I should dust off the old thesaurus.
OT: I grew up in Napa. Was your education there? I'm trying to remember if it was Napa or St. Helena where the Christian Brothers were located. (It's all the same to a kid.)
There was no air conditioning in those days. My parents were friends with some of the Brothers, so they would invite me and a couple of friends to come to the winery during "Indian Summer" and play in the underground caves where the wine was stored.
I think it was illogical for them to ever think they could fight those in the first place. This whole defense just has me shaking my head... She would have been so much better off just taking a plea instead of rolling the dice, but to me it just emphasizes how far she's willing to go to avoid responsibility.
On most other occasions when her latest lie took her to 'the end of the hall', she simply made up a new lie. When I look at the BS lies she has apparently fed her own attorneys, I'm thinking this is 'Her Last Lie'.
Book title anyone? :crazy:
While the prosecution did a great job today I still think the defense raised enough reasonable doubt for at least one or more jurors to hang their hat on when it comes to an acquittal. Not saying it's going to happen but I think the likelihood of a hung jury is much greater than before.
I am afraid of the same thing. If the Defense did a good job in jury selection I think this is VERY likely. DH says it will be a hung jury and he hasn't "followed" the case other then during the trial.
No.
The prosecutors hit it out of the ball park with their common sense and passion.
All the jurors NEED to believe is that Caylee died either as a result of the duct tape OR chloroform. Either one of those is child abuse. If Caylee was inflicted with either and died as a result, ICA is guilty of felony murder.
Beyond any reasonable doubt, there is NEVER any reason to put duct tape over the face of a person except to keep that person from screaming or breathing. Three pieces of duct tape went over Caylee's face. One over the mouth to keep Caylee quiet. Two to cover her nose so she couldn't breathe. Then the third strip was placed to cover any gaps.
Beyond any reasonable doubt, ICA used three pieces of tape to kill her daughter. The state proved its case. To go against this irrefutable evidence would be a violation of the judges instructions.
