This may belong in a "Did KC have help" thread, which I thought there was, but I could not find one (mods, is there a better thread for this?)
But.....given the direction of the defense from what we gathered in the 08/21/09 hearing, my brain is working (albeit slowly as usual!). I want to get this down in my mind, because as a juror, this could be a hurdle. I don't necessarily think KC would have known if she did have "help."
-The botanist timeline gives a
lot of wiggle room, nut not enough wiggle room for the body to have been placed after November 15th.

-Casey had scratches on the trunk, which would have been hard to do at Suburban, but maybe she could have backed down a dirt path somewhere else with a lot of foliage? Pings southwest of where she lived and the dead period on the 17th? Maybe KC did have the body elsewhere.
-Those closest to her allude to her needing help. AD and CA in particular. But not necessarily help with the murder, maybe just help with the aftermath. I agree with IDonov that the actual murder was done alone.
-I would have to eliminate the family members up until August 14, the last jail conversation-They genuinely seemed to not have a clue where Caylee was up until that point. When did the "secret" letters start going out to LA/CA/GA?
-Was KC really shocked in the jail tapes upon hearing that Caylee was found?
Could someone have put her there without KC knowing?
RoyK will testify that he saw that skull in August. He carries more weight than KW's version of not seeing the body there in the same time period, because the body was found where RK said it was. RK may be able to tell the jury how his POV differed from KW's and DC's.
Sorry if this seems all over the board, just want to tie these things in a neat bow (impossible in this case!)
