Respectfully snipped and brought over from a post by Frigga from another thread....within that post, were listed the "mitigating" factors as stated by AF during jury selection....I'm almost sure there are more but, HHJP stopped her from going on and on.
AF read:
"age, lack of maturity, lack of impulse control, history of sexual abuse, suffers from insomnia and nightmares, lack of parental guidance, mother and father failed to protect her as a child, verbally and emotionally abused as a child, fact that she was taught poor coping skills and has poor coping skills by normal standards, taught to project false appearance, used as a decoy or pawn by her parents and a scapegoat for parental misconduct, her conduct in school was good, her grades were better than average, she participated in sports, when employed she was a good hard working employee, she loved Caylee and Caylee loved her, she has been a good detainee at the jail while awaiting trial, she has helped... tried to help..."
Bolded and "blued" by me....whenever I've been involved in discussions about victims of childhood sexual abuse, almost ALWAYS, that same statement comes up - either by the victim, or a therapist.
IMO, often times, it infers that the victim's parents didn't "protect" their child from the "abuser"....not actually either parent being the abuser....
Maybe that big 'ol bus ISN'T goin' down "George Street" at all....maybe there's another poor soul being brought into Miss KC's web of lies?? Maybe, who knows, do we dare even venture to guess who it might be??? IF this is what the veiled message in AF's summary of some mitigating factors was implying with the "protect" comment.. I place my bet on CA's bro....no love lost there....he was pretty vocal about the family disfunction from the start and didn't hold back on other details...like KC's pregnancy, etc. Just seems to me, he might be a new "victim" in this circus.
Just pure and TOTAL speculation....not fact....just IMO.
