The proof of #2 and #3 FOR ME, is based off the list Sustained provided:
1) FCA not reporting Caylee missing for 31 days
2) FCA's behavior during those 31 days
There is no reasonable excuse to avoid the people who would ultimately pressure her the most to produce her living, breathing daughter to them. An innocent person would not behave the way FCA did while knowing her child was dead and rotting. An innocent person would contact the authorities. FCA was determined to be competent to stand trial by 3 doctors. This means she knows the difference between right and wrong, has impulse control, and is not suffering from a mental disease.
3) FCA lying to police
You don't lie to the cops unless you are hiding something. Since her daughter was dead, and that is exactly what she was lying about, she was hiding the fact that her daughter was dead. Innocent people don't do that.
4) No 911 call to police suggesting an accident
To me, means there was no accident.
5) Smell of death in the Sunfire
She drove the car, made excuses for the smell, and ditched the car. I've never smelled a decomposing human body, but enough witnesses said it smelled like human decomp that I am convinced without a doubt that's what it was. Your car doesn't smell like a dead body unless at some point, a dead body was in your car. Her daughter was dead, and her car smelled like a dead body. There is no other way for me to spin this. I mean, I guess the question that comes up the most is why didn't everyone who came in contact with the car smell it? I don't know. But I don't need everyone to smell it to be convinced the smell was there.
6) Bella Vita tattoo
I feel like this one fits in to #2.
7) Caylee found in woods with objects from Anthony home
What are the chances that someone other than FCA would dump the body of her daughter with duct tape from their home, Caylee's blanket, in garbage bags matching those from her home, in a laundry bag that matches one from their home, in a spot in the woods where she and a childhood friend used to hang out? Zero, Zilch, Nada. Again, an innocent person doesn't try to hide a body.
Now, for me, I don't break all these things apart to come to my conclusion. It's her behavior + her lying about it + not reporting it + where Caylee was found + the items from the house + the smell of the car. I just don't believe, in my core, that someone reacting to an accidental death would do the things FCA did. But that's just me.
Generally speaking, if it was an accident or someone else was responsible, she would have reported it. She knew right from wrong.
Don't act like you're guilty, people won't think you're guilty. :twocents:
Thank you, Sustained, for providing the great list for me to jump off of, and Who_What_When for posing the question! :clap:
