I wish I could be as could be as sure, but I'm just not. The state almost completely avoided the chloroform in their closing and IMO the jury will notice that and wonder why. You don't spend days on forensic evidence to prove chloroform was involved and then barely mention in it closing unless there's a problem with. I think the duct tape is their strongest shot at getting a first degree conviction, premeditated. MOO
These case was chocked full of CE. The Prosecutors do not have the time to lay everything out and take up time they don't have on one subject when so many subjects must be covered.
Imo Ashton made it perfectly clear that all the experts found chloroform in some form no matter what piece of evidence was tested or how. He also made it clear that chloroform is a volatile substance. Even the DT expert was surprised that he got a detection of chloroform when it had not been sent to him sealed airtight. I think the jury got it and he didn't have to spend his time going over one subject.
I think the chloroform found both in her car and on the internet search 'how to make chloroform' is the strongest evidence showing aggravated child abuse and the duct tape is the premeditating factor after Caylee was knocked out so she couldn't resist the duct tape being put over her mouth and nose.
IMO
