Here are my problems w the above. I don't think they are actually problems. First, I can easily envision the scenario in which Caylee is initially helped into her suit in preparation for a swim (or as a reportedly very bright nearly three year-old who knows well the routine, is either encouraged or simply endeavors herself to pull a suit on herself maybe managing eg to get it on backwards or perhaps requiring some assistance.) Children this age are of course not known for having great patience tho and, if KC became distracted--do any of us here for one minute have any "problems" envisioning her attention being suddenly diverted to a more absorbing, selfish pursuit ie on her cell ("just for a sec"), picking up her voicemail (it'll just take another minute), texting say, I dunno maybe 10 or 20, of those 500+ messages (it won't take long), checking her myspace (she's probably in her playhouse), [/i]switching over to IM'g (gate should be closed anyway)--and before she knows it, 25 or 30 minutes have slipped away and it suddenly occurs to her that Caylee has been too quiet for too long. As for my problem w your second problem (!?) in the absence of adequate childproofing or recommended safety barriers to the family pool, it sadly fell to whomever was at home to check that gates and ladders were checked and the burden fell upon the person supervising Caylee to protect her--as in truth but especially by this age--her caregiver was in fact the ONLY barrier. HUGE mistake, needless to say, given Caylee had reportedly begun learning to master even these flimsy safeguards about which CA undoubtedly and with good reason had repeatedly warned KC... She would therefore have been held VERY MUCH responsible had it occurred this way (which I suspect is the case) and so have made this the ultimate, unpardonable mistake--held over HER head by CA to her grave and beyond--for which KC could never have shifted blame nor, she feared, be forgiven by CA.

Bolded by me.
It's my opinion to come to this conclusion you are essentially ignoring a lot of the irrational lies Casey has told. For example:
"No, I'm not pregnant, it's a tumor."
"No, I'm not pregnant, I would have to have sex to be pregnant."
"Yes, you are the father, even though I was 2 months pregnant when I met you."
"Yes, I work at Universal Studios, even though I have no income."
"Yes, I work at the Sports Authority, and I don't get paid for that, either."
"I was robbed at gunpoint of the $4000 I was supposed to deposit. No, I didn't report it."
"You walked in your sleep and hid your money, Amy."
"Please follow me, officers, my office is right down this hallway."
"I will lie and steal to get the lingerie and beer I need to find my daughter."
Why do you think a person who would lie the way Casey has consistently lied, stupid lies that are easily proven false, would have any trouble laying all the blame on Cindy? This is the same woman who seemed to think as long as she lied about where Caylee was, no one would ever seriously look for her.
