UPDATED:Casey Death Penalty Case Hard To Make At This Time

[Oakley]

Does anyone recall just before KC was arrested this last time for murder (rather than neglect charges,) LE announced there would be no new charges? Very soon after that, GJ was announced and the subsequent arrest?

 

[Friptzap]

You forgot killing of someone under the age of 12, which certainly fits.

100% Agree !!!!!

- Was heinous, atrocious, cruel, or depraved. There is no cause of death known, or proof for that matter with Forensics that Caylee is dead.".

Expert witnesses will tie together the evidence and forensics to prove this element.

- Involved substantial planning and premeditation. Nothing that is known proves planning or premeditation.".

Computer searches for chloroform handles this element, and that's the first that comes to mind.

-- Was committed without pretense of moral or legal justification. Another unknown, absent of proof.".

Simple element to prove: there couldn't be any justification for killing one's own child, could there? Insofar as accident, well, Casey's had a lot of time to try to make that known, but she didn't, so who would believe her now?

-- Was committed by a person with previous felonies, or happened while another felony was being committed. No factual scenario on Caylee's death, much less during the commencement of a felony.".

Simple element: the abuse and neglect charges for which she was first arrested.

-When you seat a Death Qualified Jury, you need substantial proof - not a bunch of "seems to fit".

The totality of the circumstances here will prevail.

Yes, it needs to be changed. Doesn't WESH know that we are watching for news in the case 24/7? :crazy: They should be more careful. Sheesh!

SNIPPED: "... Now it says:
"Casey Death Case Hard To Make At This Time...
case is still developing and they hope to find Caylee’s body."...

I don't care if she gets the death penalty either, I'd rather her spend the rest of her life in prison - heck the Manson murderers had their death row sentences commuted to life -

Now if the searchers find a body and there is evidence that Casey killed her - then I wonder if the DA can then change it to a death penalty case

 

[SeriouslySearching]

We're on the same page. Defense indicates crime and guilt by KC the same day prosecution says the evidence doesn't support a death penalty? Deal is comin' down, folks!

I hope you are right and the "deal" will include Caylee's remains. If Casey isn't going to face the DP, LWOP sounds like a great option. As long as Casey pays for what she has done, she can rot in jail instead of die by the needle. At 22 years old...she should have at least a good 50-60 year stint.

Where does it say they have taken the death penalty off the table? It just says they don't know if they have enough to ask for it. That doesn't mean they won't ask for it.

I agree, and the case isn't closed yet. There are still searches going on.
IMO if Chloroform was found in the trunk, and chloroform was r esearched prior to death and it can be shown that it was used in her death, that's premeditation pure and simple.

They changed the article. So, it's not off the table.

 

[yolorado]

I agree with this. Without a body, there shouldn't be a death penalty, if there should be one at all. Hopefully though, she'll sit in jail for the rest of her miserable, destructive life.

Thanks for the clarification, I thought that the Floridians would get stuck with the three squares for a long time.

 

[Evan's Mom]

I can't believe that anyone is really that surprised at this element in the case.

They changed the original news article. It first said the DP was off the table and has since been changed to claim they're still looking at it.

I think the new defense atty is talking to KC and trying to get her to accept a deal. He seems to have more brains than Baez.

Without a doubt. And it will be quite easy to nail down (1) the date of the computer searches (they already have this) together with (2) WHO had the physical possession of the computer at that time.

Thank goodness they changed it. If she has a lick of sense, she'll go for the deal, but there's been no news s that a deal has even been offered as yet. The defense leaked their document to poison the jury pool. imo

"She didn't do it, but if she did it....."

That is what I read into this..........
