Miss Casey won't be taking the witness stand.
The defense will be reduced to relying on a series of character witnesses, chief among them her combative and unappealing family members.
It will also attack the forensic evidence. The fact that there was a heart sticker placed across Caylee's mouth points to her mother as the murderer, not an unrelated and non-existent third party.
No doubt the words used by the prosecution when introducing the death photos into evidence will include the words 'cold', 'callous' and 'monstrous'.
I see this as being a very, very bad development for Baez' ability to get a jury to believe that Casey was not her daughter's killer.
