Guess I was thinking more along the lines of what ColoradoTeacher posted after my post on this thread:
"Circumstantial means that there might not be a direct link, but common sense makes that link.
I actually had jury duty today (I was not ultimately chosen )and part of the instructions said to use common sense when analyzing the evidence. I think the jurors in this trial will too."
Wasn't really saying that I was wondering why she didn't come clean in jail but as a juror I would say to myself WHY didn't she come clean, WHY didn't she try to figure it all out, if it was an accident?? Common sense as a juror would say to me Gee, if it was an accident and Casey had come clean some time in the past three years, the state might have worked something out with her, but instead Casey waited three years in jail, comes clean at the start of the trial through JB's opening statement, all the while still risking the death penalty.
I'm thrilled BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that jurors are told to use common sense, sure helped me to sleep better last night.
I think its safe to say ICA's story has evolved over time and that she consistently lied not only to LE and her family but to her lawyers. I say this because almost 13 months after Caylee was first reported missing and almost 10 months after being endicted for first degree murder, Todd Macaluso stood up in court and claimed the defense had proof of ICA's innocence. We know now he was referring to Laura Buchanan, Joe Jordan and potentially others who could prove the body had been moved. Soon after this announcement, the defense team embarked on a media blitz where Macaluso claimed on nationa tv that this was a case of "stranger abduction". This was soon followed by the defense suggesting Roy Kronk has a penchant for duct tape and should have been a suspect in this case.
We can only guess when the present defense strategy came to be, but given this girl's MO, I'll hazourd a guess it was shortly after the jailhouse letters emerged, wherein she had fuzzy memories of her father molesting her.
With her kidnapping story totally busted and as LDB said during her OS, ICA comes up with a new, bigger and better lie. That's why common sense tells me this was no accident.
