I see no reason whatsoever to give KC the benefit of the doubt by promoting an accidental death/panicked cover up theory.
She is charged with first degree murder. Apparently, I have the same opinion as the investigators who have actually been in the same room with KC, talked to everyone involved by virtue of being unwitting witnesses and have seen ALL the evidence - not just what was released to the public.
Speculate until the cows come home, but the truth is much more ugly than the hopeful scenario of an accidental death. It was intentional murder, plain and simple.
KC never once attempted to claim Caylee died as the result of negligence or accident, despite the fact that she was given the opportunity to do so by LE and that her attorney has given her all the wiggle room possible by telling her the consequences of negligent homicide versus intentional homicide. She didn't "reach out" for that life ring, instead she continues with the June 9th Nanny kidnapping story. Why? Because the child was murdered and she wants the murder pinned on Nanny.
This is a woman whose child was missing for 31 days, she never reported it, told nothing but lies to those who were trying to find her child and then was furious with LE for arresting her on a "f-ing whim". This is a woman who does not understand why failing to report her missing child and lying to LE is such a big deal, especially after she told LE she knows how stupid it was and promises to never do it again. She even stated something like "If this ever happens again, I will call LE right away." Oh. Right. Ok.
I am so glad she learned her lesson, but I don't think she will have the opportunity to show anyone how much she learned.
She is as dumb as they come and I still think she is mentally challenged. If I were Baez I would be scrambling to get an IQ test to show that she does not have the mental accuity to comprehend what she has done or the consequences of such acts. She operates at a basic level, below which she would need someone to button her shirt. I have yet to hear of her ever doing anything that indicates intelligence. Here are her big accomplishments at age 22:
She almost graduated from HS with her friends, but not quite.
She sold film or took photos at Universal on a part time, maybe even seasonal basis.
She can text message.
She can drive a car.
She can steal.
She can use her friend's stolen checks but signs her own name as the payor.
She can get pregnant and deliver a baby.
These are the most basic of endeavors. There is nothing intelligent about this beast.
