KC is being charged with the MURDER of Caylee. To my knowledge, she is not facing an additional charge related ONLY to the dumping of Caylee's body on Suburban, correct?
So IF someone else was involved in the disposal of Caylee's body, that does NOT relieve KC of culpubility in her murder.....it would only speak to LE's inability at this point to determine a co-defendant, right?
So does the defense really believe that any juror is going to completely discount all evidence leading to KC as the murder based strictly on the knowledge that she could NOT have killed Caylee because someone else eventually dumped her body on Suburban?
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT believe anyone else was involved...this is strictly for argument sake!
Mason says Casey KILLED CAYLEE (but somebody else involved, moved the body = REASONABLE DOUBT)

June 1, 2010 Hearing
Part 2 (4:50)
Mason:
. now that does not necessarily mean, as a matter of law, that she could not have killed this child, or been involved with it
Baez was texting furiously on his cellphone when
Mason was telling the Judge that Casey could have killed Caylee
but if somebody else moved the body that opens a huge door of reasonable doubt
. and they want the illegally recorded Joe Jordan tape. Motion was DENIED.
I believe Mason exposed the Defense strategy - they want to throw somebody in, to confuse the jury and make the jury think that somebody else was helping Casey and moved the body
. which would
cause the jury to think that if somebody else was involved
. maybe Casey is not the one who killed the child. It gives the Defense a chance to create confusion about multiple parties involved in Caylees death and movement of her corpse = REASONABLE DOUBT = possible hung jury or acquittal
