The jury is going to go through so many different emotions when it comes time for the SA to explain to them exactly what Caylee went through after death. The worst thing a person can go through, after the actual murder, is to be left out in the elements for an extended amount of time, IMO.
I was just a lurker on this forum before December 11, 2008. I know a lot of people, myself included, thought that Caylee was in fact deceased and all we wanted was for this precious baby to be found so that she could have a proper burial.
Most people have extremely strong beliefs when it comes to the funeral of their loved ones. Everyone has different ways in which they mourn (or celebrate their loved ones lives), but it all comes back to having a respectful memorial. Some people believe that that respect is lost when a family can not have an open casket service if they so chose. Caylee was cremated, but had they wanted to have an open casket sevice... that had been taken away from them.
I really feel for the people who are going to have to sit in on this case as jurors. I can't imagine having to look at the pictures of what was left of that precious baby once they did find her because...
I have no doubt that JA will be very graphic in his description as to what little Caylee went through once she was thrown into those woods off of Suburban Drive. From the extreme Florida summer heat, to the Thunder Storms that can mirror that of Tropical Storms, to an actual Tropical Storm Faye. They'll know how dark and lonely that area was. How cold and damp it was. How scary it must have been during one of Florida's famous lightening storms. They'll know that animals fed off of her. They'll see exactly how far she was spread out by these animals.
The one thing that makes me sicker than sick is that if we are to believe, and everyone has different beliefs, that Caylee is in heaven looking down upon us, then she witnessed all that happened to her once she was no longer alive. It's beyond heartbreaking. I can't even describe how this makes me feel.
It's hard enough to imagine an adult go through something like this, but times that by a million when it comes to a two-year-old baby.
I can't wait until May 2011!!
