But if the medical examiner isn't convinced that the duct tape was placed pre-death, what medical evidence did she use to determine that this was a homicide?
I'm starting to think that we can use the homicide ruling to infer that the ME believes the tape was placed pre-death -- without the tape, what medical evidence is there of a homicide?
Great point! Perhaps there is evidence (as in Jon Benet case) of teethmarks or vomit or something else that would indicate antemortem duct tape placement.
IIRC, when the fingerprint report came out, GA, CA, and LA were cleared of latents, but nothing was mentioned about either Casey OR Caylee.
I realize we've heard a lot about fingerprints and humidity, but if Caylee had her own prints on that tape it would clearly prove she was alive when it was applied.
