The more I read about this, the more I understand, the more I wish I didn't.
It feels horrible to have to sit here and watch these "people" conspire to PROFIT from Caylee's murder. I understand the whole defense attorney thing, they're a necessary evil. But Casey has a whole team of them, and now they've added this woman... its disgusting.
It was mentioned on the previous page that the DT isn't going to bring in doctors until they are in the penalty phase to avoid having to let the state exam ICA. Did I get that right? That doesn't make sense to me. Personally I'm not for the death penalty, but the idea that the jury is going to make such a huge decision based on unverified info or lies just seems wrong.
Even if the DT and the State agree that ICA does in fact have a brain injury, how could they say that they know for a fact that ICA's brain was like that when she killed Caylee? Because if it wasn't its not a mitigating factor, right?
I think I read somewhere that ICA had seizures. Did she go to the ER, a neurologist or even her PCP. Seizures aren't always caused by a brain abnormality. Did they give her an MRI three years ago? If not, I would think that living in a jail has changed her brain.
And ditto for claims of mental illness. If she didn't have an eval. prior to Caylee's death or when she was arrested how do we know that the state she's in now was present when she killed Caylee? I haven't seen videos of her in court 3 years ago, but I don't remember her figitting and staring so much. I'm pretty sure she's deteriorated since going to jail.
How can the present state of her brain and her present mental heath be used as a mitigating factor when they don't even know for sure if they were like that when she killed her baby daughter? Wouldn't that be unethical, a manipulation of the facts?
And this is what this lady does for a living? That's sick.
Since ICA hasn't been evaluated by the state does that mean she has never been evaluated to see if she needs to be on psyc. meds since she was arrested? When you first think of that it doesn't seem like a big deal, but if an untreated mental illness helps these attorneys/media *advertiser censored* to manipulate her it becomes a big deal. What if they had started treating her and she confesses? I know its not likely, but what if?
Everything that this woman does for the DT involves flimflam that the state isn't given a chance to confirm or dispute. They need to make a Son of Sam Law for lawyers like this because I think its obvious that what they are doing has nothing to do justice.
Is it possible that part of the reason they are keeping CA out is so she won't see whats going on with the DT?
