Sorry Oakley. Did not mean to be so demonstrative at all.
"Could it be that Casey, growing up with the insanity in her home, felt it was more 'humane' for Caylee to be 'in heaven' than to be raised by Cindy (who was threatening her with taking custody?) "
KC is a sociopath. She does not care about the humanity of her child at all. She has no humanity. She has no feelings. She cannot feel and that is why she is able to say goodbye to her father and leave and then kill her child - then come back to the house, steal money several times, etc. etc. And the more that Cindy and George defend her, the smarter she thinks she is. If anything, as she said to one of the girls in jail, "now she knows how it feels". She did not want Cindy to have this child. So I can be free and also spite the chit out of my mother. She says to Lee "maybe I am a spiteful *****". This is intentional hatred for the mother and Cindy knows it but cannot come to terms with it so she defends her daughter because Cindy cannot swallow that pill that this was done to get rid of the child and to spite her mother. Greek tragedy any way you look at it.
I read Richard Grund's interview and he says he doesn't think KC is smart enough to do this alone. My question is what has she done that is smart. NOTHING, zero, nada. If she were a psychopath, she would have planned this better. She would have drown her in the pool and said it was an accident, but she is a sociopath and to her own detriment, she does things that she WANTS at the moment.
Do not forget she steals Amy's money. She is on camera for the world to see and yet she still does it. Now if you have just killed your child, you do not put yourself all over the place by writing bad checks because as soon as that is found out, everyone will be thinking well maybe she killed her daughter. But she does not think that far ahead. She is incapable of doing that.
I hope you have a great evening and please excuse my first reply - did not mean to be rude.
