is KC innocent? no. I think she's guilty as hell. innocent until proven guilty is a tenet of law and rightfully has a place in a courtroom. but this forum and others like it are the court of public opinion. I'm not married to a set-in-stone scenario yet because I'm waiting until I see the SA's case
but, like a few others, I've long believed that Caylee drowned on KC's watch and wasn't discovered until long after the point where resuscitation attempts would be successful. Caylee's body would've displayed evidence of being in water for a long/long time, which would've been immediately apparent to EMTs/LE/etc
if CA was in KC's face from time to time about being an unfit mother for just her actions in general, can you imagine CA's wrath if it became known that Caylee drowned and KC didn't notice for hours? at the very least it would be bye-bye gravy train: KC would have to move out/support herself, wouldn't have access to CA's bank acct/credit cards, GA/CA would take their car back. plus having to face the fact that everyone (family/friends/neighbors/the public via the media) would know how unfit she truly was
CA (or perhaps GA, w/ CA running interference) would throw it up in KC's face at every opportunity, for the rest of their lives. whichever the source, it would fuel a never-ending saga of abuse and condemnation
KC just might have found herself thrown to the curb w/ a couple suitcases, no car, no recent job history, no $$$, not even a HS diploma, and would also have been facing charges of neglect resulting in the death of her child. "moving on" w/ her life, making her own way, would be next to impossible for someone who is so incredibly immature, shalllow, selfish, coddled, spoiled. she's damaged in a way that may not be treatable. (not saying that lotsa people who come from rough circumstances can't/don't make something of themselves, but we're talking KC here). something in KC is broken and IMO CA has known if since forever but decided long ago to handle it "her way" and as part of their (perhaps unspoken) bargain, KC allowed it. the loss of Caylee as emotional/financial leverage would've changed the way the game was played. that's the way I see it if an accident had become public knowledge in the beginning
there was too much at stake for KC to admit what really happened (to LE, that is. IMO CA/GA learned the truth quite early, which is when/why they went on their tangernts). CA/GA surprised KC by going into forgiveness mode/us against the world. KC: "you don't know what my role is, in this"? (I could still be in charge if I wanted to, Mom. I could tell them what you knew, and when you knew it). also IMO CA/GA knew which clothing was w/ the remains, hence their claims that they'd never seen the Big Trouble t-shirt. which also relates to GA's description of the last outfit he saw Caylee wearing. KC's prior lies to so many people about a nanny woven neatly into new lies about a nanny turned kidnapper = duct tape in case the remains were located. the heart-shaped sticker denoted the teeniest/tiniest sub-atomic particle of shame/regret
like others here who are interested in true crime, I've idly thought from time to time that my google searches could easily be used against me in certain unforeseen circumstances. my DD has made many joking references to that (and my choice in library books. was it Silence of the Lambs where an FBI agent tells his guy to get a report on who checks out which books at the library? I got an elbow in the ribs from DD in the movie theater that night). so that comes pretty close to explaining the chloroform/neck breaking/household weapon searches for me. neck breaking is a band, right? one of the BFs had a chloroform reference on his FB page which was later removed. was it: win her over w/ chloroform (?). hmmm, except for AH sleepwalking/waking up in different pants than she'd gone to sleep in, her $400 missing. perhaps a trial run? who knows
just lately IMO KC has realized that one stupid act (among many) spiraled into 1000s of strangers searching for her child, national media coverage, LE and SAs who know who/what she is, and an actual trial, FGS. she just cannot bring herself to face up to any of that, and the fact that she started all of it. would KC sit in jail for 3 years knowing all along that there was an accident which she allowed to happen and that she was too spineless to admit it? yepper. because that's how it's always been w/ her: fake it 'til you make it, 10 minutes at a time
my vote for her tat woulda been: mi vida loca
(the maternal side of my family is quite Anthony-ish, which is why I see/think these things)
it was posted earlier that most evidence is circumstantial/what some think of as physical evidence is in actuality circumstantial evidence. true dat. which reminds me of Manson prosecutor Vince Bugliosi likening circumstantial evidence not to links in a chain (like many of us do) but rather to the strands of a rope. break one link/a few links and the chain is useless. but a rope of many strands is still strong if some/a few of the strands fray or break
