If it can be proved that Casey killed her child on purpose, she belongs in a mental institution. But if it was an accident, then perhaps it wasn't Casey's fault, but she's afraid to tell the truth.
Maybe it's me. It's hard for me to believe that a mother would deliberately kill her own child unless she has a severe mental illness.
Has Casey been examined by a good psychiatrist? A good psychiatrist can usually tell when a patient is lying. Otherwise, this incident reminds me of the film, The Bad Seed. This is about a child who kills and steals without any feeling of remorse. She seems to have 2 personalities. One sweet and nice with her parents, and another with her friends or anyone she suspects of knowing the truth about her. The child was adopted, and like the real mother, it is discovered in the film (book-play) that she too committed many crimes and eventually disappeared, leaving the baby alone. Was there any pathology in Cayce's ancestors? A grandmother, an aunt, a cousin, anyone? Also wondered if Cayce was adopted as an infant? Not heard anything about that.
Also she is accused of lying about a nanny. But did she? She gives a name, and the nanny says she never heard of Casey or Caylee. If something happened to the child in the nanny's care, I wouldn't be surprised if she did deny it. But is she telling the truth? From the letters Casey exchanged with some boyfriends, she mentions a nanny quite a bit. She also mentions a job. I guess I don't know what to believe. Seems like the job turned out to be a lie. But the nanny, I don't know.
This case has so many ups and downs, pushes and pulls, I don't know what to think. I know parents sometimes kill their children, and Casey does seem to be disturbed. From letters I've read between her and her boyfriends, she seems to be a very angry person. Also she is accused of lying about a nanny. But did she?

I voted Casey. And just like when a lot of folks thought Scott Peterson would walk I had faith they would find him guilty. I feel the same way about Casey Anthony. I have faith in the state attorney and their ability to prove their case, I have faith in the jury to do the right thing. I have a LOT of faith in Judge Perry to make sure everything is done by the letter of the law so the conviction can never be overturned on appeal.
I really believe that Casey Anthony will get the death penalty and I hope she enjoys her time at Lowell right up until they ask her if she would prefer the electric chair or a lethal injection.
Hello All,
I am new to websleuths, I have been lurking on the boards for weeks now reading all of your awesome ideas and comments on ICA. I really wanted to join you all so I just recieved permission yesterday to activate my account.
I am still learning the ropes and rules so I hope I don't mess up in posting etiquette or break any rules. I am not even sure if this is the right place to leave this comment, but it mentioned Scott and Casey so I thought this would
be a good place as my thought pertains to them.
I recently read the comment someone left (sorry, I don't know who to give
credit to) about how Cindy was comforting herself with Caylee's teddy bear in the weeks after she learned of her disappearance and that it mysteriously disappeared. This reminded me of an excerpt I read in Sharon Rocha's book "For Lacy" where she wrote about how Laci only had perhaps one ultrasound picture of Conner and how she was intending or did show it off to her family and friends. One day Laci could not find the picture and was devestated that she had lost the first picture she had of her baby boy. Sharon went on to speculate that she thought Scott may have taken it and thrown it away.
I know that you guys have been comparing the two and I just wanted to leave this comment as an example of just how alike they appear to be. The idea being that they both possibly took things from people that meant something to them, either by profiding comfort ( The teddy bear) or caused happiness ( the ultrasound picture) and got rid of them.
Again, I apologize if this is not in the right place. I have just been wanting to share this idea for a while.
I am happy to be amongst you all and I look forward to reading more of your wonderful ideas and thoughts.

IMO, these cases are very similiar in the fact that both are relying/relied on mainly circumstantial evidence. They also deal with an individual being charged with killing their loved ones (with children involved in both cases) and then claiming a kidnapping or disappearance. What bugs me is that SP got the death penalty and they are not even seeking it for KC when there is way more evidence against KC than there was Scott IMO. Agree? Disagree?
I find it interesting that both cases involve hair evidence. It was the hair caught in the wire cutters that convicted Scott, and the hair in the trunk will convict Casey. Cheers for hairs!Many have posted similarities between the State of Florida's case against Casey Anthony and the State of California's case against Scott Peterson. I am wondering if based on the evidence presented thus far in Casey Anthony's case, if members feel that the State of Florida is/has presented as good of a case against Casey Anthony, as the State of California did against Scott Peterson??
