if she is innocent and is acquitted, she will likely continue to live in a mental and social "prison" for her entire life. I would not be surprised at a suicide. She would probably suffer from ptsd, both due to the horrific loss of Caylee and the surrounding circumstances, the fact that the perpetrator was never caught, and also as a result of the defamation for such a long period of time in the press, the alienation of all her friends, the damage to her family, etc. . I've heard this kind of post traumatic stress is being understood more now, that people experience after having been wrongly accused of a crime, shunned, vilified, etc, or mistreated by an institution you would normally trust, whether that's the public, the media, the legal system, or whatever the institution might be. Now this is all theoretical i.e. if she is innocent and if she is acquitted -- I'm not saying I necessarily think she is innocent, I am still not sure who committed this murder. Nor am I saying that I think there was any wrongdoing on the part of LE. Again, I don't know if she is the murderer, or if she is not. I think she will probably be convicted regardless because of her failure to report Caylee missing and her inability or refusal to help LE.
I just hope at trial enough information will come out so that we're absolutely sure if she was the perpetrator of this murder or not. I hope the real murderer doesn't go free. I don't think the defense can catch the real perpetrator or come up with additional evidence, that was LE's job, the defense can only address the charges against KC and whether they are substantiated or not. I hope LE's investigation did not end at the Grand Jury but is ongoing, to be honest, because I think we need to know more. If KC committed this murder she obviously should spend life in prison or a mental hospital, depending on her degree of mental illness. I think it's possible that she is insane, whether she committed the murder or not. When you read or hear her interviews, her words only, in their entirety, they actually sound insane. The latest released interview with detective EE is a good example of this. Her sentences barely make any sense.
