TWA - as usual thank you for standing up for the real heroes - the machinations of a desperate defense may try to use decent, upstanding people as red herrings for this farce of a case, but there is no reason for the general public to comment on them, unless they have decided to go public of their own accord like JW. I feel sorry for every one of KC's friends and acquaintances who have been punished over and over for having known her before and while Caylee was killed, but using people who showed up to look for Caylee because her own mother refused to tell the truth (and sat on her butt in jail or went to her attorney's office every day with nothing to do but look for ways to exploit her dead daughter) - who invested their own time, money and hearts to help this child - as cheap fodder for a weak and failing defense is beyond immoral, it should be criminal.
The defense has used a contradictory, scattershot approach that has backfired every step of the way. The fact that JB criticized LE for missing RK's tips in August and simultaneously pursued a lame theory the body wasn't even there speaks volumes - they can't even make up their minds on what strategy to pursue from minute to minute. I haven't seen a talking DEFENSE head yet that thinks anyone can put lipstick on this pig, much less anyone in the general public (who isn't working for the defense in some capacity I'd warrant). Vilifying the person who found Caylee and attempting to dig up dirt on any volunteer who may have helped is beyond disgusting - I think a new circle in hell should be created just for such cheap and evil trickery. It's one thing to put together a case based on someone's alleged innocence, it's quite another to try to create doubt by implicating anyone in proximity.
I agree with you that this family took advantage of the resources locally to give their daughter yet another chance to defraud the public. Her attorney played along and used the opportunity to make a quarter million dollars that apparently exempted him from creating any discernible work product other than sophomoric, whiny motions that have wasted the court's time for two years.
Those 911 calls are critical for two reasons. One, they show the precise instant in which CA connects the smell of the car to the news that Caylee is officially MIA by her daughter's own admission. That third call shows how it has now ratcheted her mother's interest and is not simply a "stolen" vehicle anymore in light of this news. It is the epitome of "excited utterance". Secondly, the jury will get to hear KC's blase and very disinterested subsequent exchange with the dispatcher on the phone in which it is plain to see she is simply irritated and inconvenienced about having to answer questions about a child she has apparently not seen in over a month and failed to report because she was too busy "looking for her" on her own in bars and shopping malls.
The fact that a group of people have been able to continually profit from the kind of lies that wouldn't fool anyone coming out of the mouth of a five-year-old is just absolutely gobsmackingly awful. Beyond words.
