So a hair appeared in the trunk of the car. The grandfather reached in the trunk, according to the witness at the towing yard, and removed a plastic trash bag full of what was identified as pizza maggots and paper by the tow yard's witness.
It is common for cars to be towed that have perishables in them. pershables rot.
Two options come to mind:
#1- what if.. and I'm saying this due to the fact that the grandfather claimed to the towing company that they had found the daughter, but not the granddaughter, BEFORE the car was taken home and Amy's number recovered from it and Cindy called amy to actually retrieve Casey.(ie- we have Casey, BEFORE he has Casey).. so what if the hair fell from HIS arm, or was purposely planted at that time? He's an ex-cop.
The decomposition stain found in the car was never identified as being human by an official source as far as I'm aware of. Their language has been so careful thus far that it's confusing whether they are actually saying anything or being taken out of context while answering directed questions.
#2- what if Casey was left in the car and forgotten by a drunk mother? Casey died and fell forward in the seat.. at almost three years old, perhaps she wasn't even in it safely. Car get's towed and the smell discovered by the yard owner.. "holy cow, you idiot, you towed it with someone in it!? this'll ruin me!"
Body hidden/ removed by towtruck company.
Mom too stoned to remember where her car was, doesn't want to get nailed with reckless endangerment, claims she's been missing for awhile to throw-off the timeline to push guilt in other directions. Cindy is too upset to immediately realize that the 8th was PRIOR to her trip to her father's Assisted Living facility.
Why doesn't mom push for the truth from her child when she visits, yet suggests that investigators use the "fear of god" to get her to start talking?
Mom and dad are helping create the smokescreen. To me the question isn't whether one of these two options are correct, but whether the Defense Attorney will go for options like this to plant the seed of doubt in the jurors?
The jurors will have to beleive Casey did this, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to convict her. That's ok though, the potential jurors around here are useless because they all have preconcived notions on the case due to the amount of info coming out all the tim. Juror selection will be from out of state, and some of those interviews are screwy in the 400 pages.. there's loopholes in the way some of the data was retrieved. The defense would seem to have an easy case here when you realize their goal.
All the defense attorney needs to suggest to his client(s) are that they need to maintain the smokescreen to avoid Jury clarity, and get her off the hook in the long run, quite like OJ simpson.
