Absolutely not! IMO, volunteers and people who donate money should be more careful! There are some evil people out there.
I do have a question though. Are people shocked ICA knew her daughter was dead the entire time? Or are they shocked she is admiting it?
I'm not shocked they admitted it at all. In fact, they really had no choice but to go down this road. Weighing it all out through discovery- the DT realized that trying to over come the 31 days, the demeanor of their client, the lack of any kind of genuine concern was impossible. The only thing to do was cop to an accident and find a culprit who helped. At worst, if convicted, she may get time served for neglect or improper disposal of a body if they were successful. Maybe lying to the police but they would play the "she's young and scared' card.
People would 'think' badly of her, but like a true sociopath, she simply wouldn't care and would move out of state to start a new. The last thing this girl cares about it what anyone thinks of her.
Now- they needed a fall guy. Remember Cindy said, "if she did this, she had help". I don't think any of the players realized just how calculating and clever an attorney can be when putting a story together and using all these innocuous statements to help them. Her DT has all the same information we had- and more. All they had to do was put their little heads together and twist each piece to fit a different kind of scenario. Even something as innocent as GA mowing his law can be turned into something sinister about the gas cans.
No-I'm not the least bit surprised 'they' admitted to Caylee being dead as early as July 16. The entire plan was to take the wind out of the sail of the SA, but as you can see, the SA is not one bit detoured by it. They are going to prove their case in chief. This is a story that does not match the forensic and circumstantial evidence. LDB did not even flinch during JB's opening.
Do you think the SA didn't plan for this approach? They planned for everything. No stone is unturned.
Let's not forget, there will be many small battles during this trial- THE WAR IS YET TO COME.
JP had to give an inch to get a mile in the end. He knows the evidence too. He knows what the SA has and he knows the DT is story telling. He will judge this thing accordingly. To make a mistake over something like stupid text messages between one guy would be deadly.
Just so others know- I don't believe the jury was in when JP made the statement about killing her parents. :innocent:
