Defense next theory
Instead of the sexual assualt angle maybe the defense will go with a repeated physical abuse angle.
I think GA would go along with this before any sexual abuse accusation.
The DT will present evidence of GA's confrontation with his father and the protesters, his behavior on the stand, etc. and his strange, controlling dislike of ICA's boyfriends.
GA was a wife beater and also disciplined ICA and LA with physical abuse. (Hard to believe but CA and ICA love to play the victims and this would be up their alley)This is not going to fly because I bet those prior police calls to the home because of a reported disturbance were between CA and KC. Check out the videos with CA wheeling that hammer around. GA could never tell it without his body language saying BIG FAT LIE.
ICA learned to lie to GA at an early age and tell him what he wanted to hear so she wouldn't get beat. She lied about her grades, jobs, nanny, not being pregnant, all to keep him from hurting her. CA would try to protect her. GA has already said under oath that they, he and CA, never hit their children. That would make CA a liar also because she said the same.
CA went along with the lies to keep peace in the home and in a crazy effort to keep her children safe, she lied about how wonderful the A family was. She would become confrontational even with her own family when they suggested otherwise. CA appears to have the lying problem. GA testified before the Grand Jury and changed his story later when he told RG he was being pressured by CA. Clearly KC gets the lying from her mother.
Perhaps as Caylee got older GA became less patient with her and would start to hit her. GA would never, never, ever admit to hitting Caylee because it is something he just would not do. Plus there were no fractures pre-mortem. Hitting a child hard enough to cause her death would leave tell tale signs.
He hit her on June 16 and left for work. ICA was alone with Caylee and she died. ICA did not know GA had hit Caylee thus making her completely innocent of murder or any accident that caused Caylee's death. You only hide something when you've done something wrong and you know it.
ICA was so in fear as to what GA would do if he thought she was reponsible for Caylee's death that she hid her and tried to think what to do. All of her past fear and abuse caused her to become dissasociated in order to protect her mental state. So was she having an intuitive moment all those times she stole money from her family prior to Caylee going missing.
She wrapped Caylee up in her fav blanket and put heart stickers in with her and duct tapped her mouth because when one dies their mouth drops open and it is very unsettling. Once the mouth is open...it's open and the remains would have been found with Caylee's jaw dropped down. Dr. G said prior to or shortly before decomposition. A very short time.
This may be a bad defense but just remember the jury might not have witnessed all of CA's "take no prisoner" attitude over the last 3 years and her bully behavior.
They will see the grieving, sweet, poor me grandmother who just now is remembering things and is so eager to tell what happened.
She and ICA have had it out for GA for a long time and this may just get them the household without Ga they have wanted.
