Day after day and no arrest

[Tracy1]

They will get her. I can feel it.

 

[slinkyy]

Yep, ducks in a row!!

 

[Ocean Lover]

I'm hoping they have more information than what they are letting on to the public. I would rather wait months for them to charge her if it sticks and there is almost no chance of a reasonable doubt for a jury. That being said. Shortly after the chloraform information came out the GP got a high profile Criminal Defense attorney. Of course he says he like a PR person but do we really believe that? I'm not sure what to believe now but I really would like for her to be charged with this when the time is right and go to prison even if little Caylee died from an accident. KC and/or someone did something with her body and didn't call 911 for help so she should rot in prison. IMO

LE is getting their ducks in a row....ok. But we have been saying that for weeks. I dont think it takes weeks to dot every I etc and get all the ducks in a row. Something is missing from this case. Something is wrong.

 

[Meagain]

I DO think that LE knows way more than we do.

You bet they do! Surely they could bring her in now even without a body. I contend they are iron-cladding the whole thing to ensure she is nailed 'good'. (Or waiting for the body to be found to seal the deal even more). You know the DNA results are all in. OR - they are circling around others who were culpable/involved.

IF they had probable cause. Right now, I think that is the hold up. NO PROBABLE CAUSE.... nothing to link Casey to her death, or the car at the time of the decomp.

I've worked in the justice system for over 25 years and am pretty familiar with police investigations and procedure. Sit tight and don't worry. LE is most definitely lining all their ducks up in a row. LE has to make its case and prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Just look at how many people on this forum alone keep giving KC the benefit of the doubt ...because they have questions unanswered. (Which is commendable BTW.) There's no doubt in my mind that the DA is telling them: Bring me more!

 

[newuser]

I'm very concerned that the theme of this thread is correct. They haven't arrested her on the homicide because they don't have the evidence and they know it. I am sorry to say, but I think she's going to get away with it. The gparents will forever be lost in limbo, looking at every young girl and wondering...........

 

[Sleuth5]

Keep in mind too that JB is trying to have them stop testing the samples. They aren't "nothing" or he wouldn't give a rat's a$$ about them. There may be things that are in the testing phase that we don't even know about.

A good point, and one worth remembering. In fact, Baez has no real idea what LE may be testing, but his desire to halt testing indicates that he suspects they have potentially damaging evidence -- and since he doesn't really know what it is, he wants to try to derail the train by any means possible. We all know what LE says they've tested -- what we don't know is how much more there is. I suspect there's a lot more, and I think Baez does too.

My finger nails cannot take anymore stress from CA!!!

I am so exasperated. I think LE has everything back on this case, yet no arrest. Very scary.

Unless someone comes forward with more evidence, I don't think Casey will be arrested for the murder of Caylee. IMO!

When the DA has sufficient evidence to charge someone with murder, they move on it.

Right. At this point, with what they have, they can't charge her. So I think you are right...a confession, a body, a witness...some significant new evidence is necessary for Casey to be charged with a murder. It seems like the only additional evidence could come from Casey herself. So...I'm not too optimistic at this point about ever knowing what happened to Caylee or the perpetrator(s) being brought to justice.

 

[beaglebrd]

Am I missing something? Have we got everything LE has? I think we just have a small portion of what's to come...what they have already. Hopefully they are processing it and testing. If they were finished testing it, it's a bit late for JB to be asking that they stop testing. JMO, of course.

 

[Elphaba]

I see this as one huge puzzle and right now LE is hunting down those intricate pieces that fell off of the table and are right under the edge of the couch, out-of-sight. The pieces are there, but got to be found... and when LE finds them, they will have the big picture they need to convince a judge to indict.

 

[yolorado]

Is it bothering any one else? I am still very concerned about the leaks in this case and if any of them are true. Every day is the same. All LE does is arrest her for petty crime. I can almost guarantee they will never find those tiny bones. I think all ping areas were checked and no Caylee. If she ever tossed her by the airport the aligators ate her.

I did hear or read something interesting yesterday and that was the landfill was checked where the amscott dumpster and maybe a few other relevant dumpsters are dumped and no Caylee. I don't believe anything turned in so far is relevant either as there would be info back on most of it and we would know something. I am so exasperated. I think LE has everything back on this case, yet no arrest. Very scary.

We had the case of Aarone Thompson here, little tiny girl went 'missing', 'ran away' when she 'couldn't get a cookie.' She'd never been in school although she should have been at the age parents reported her missing. Her brothers and sisters hadn't seen her around for years. They'd been told she went to bio mom. Bio mom had been told she couldn't come to the phone, or to visit, or it was better just to sever ties. (Bio mom was homeless and didn't have a lot of resources to fight this battle.) However, Aarone wasn't with bio mom and she appeared not to have been around Bio dad's and stepmom's for a really long time. One sib heard her being beaten one night, screaming, then she suddenly stopped. CPS took the other 5, 6, or 7 kids almost immediately after Aarone turned up 'lost', but no one was charged for 2 years, or more and they weren't in jail either. Trial didn't get organized for 3 yrs-on delay now but dad will probably take a plea for 50+ years. Poor Aarone is my prime reason for wanting these type of 'parents' arrested and held without bail unless and until their child is found. Now there's Caylee to add to my feeling that this should be the law, although it's not now. MO, after going through Aarone, now Caylee, law enforcement has their own time table. It drives the public absolutely mad. It feels like justice will never be done for these little precious ones, but in the example of Aarone, they built one hell of a case, even though they never found baby's body and now it looks like daddy will do at least 50 years. Mom already died of heart failure. It's maddening, horrific and completely frustrating but they will bring the charges eventually, trust me. The cops aren't in a rush. There's no statute of limitations on murder. They're waiting 'til they have the best case they think they can possibly have, and they want the body and are willing to wait for it. They won't wait forever, they probably don't need it, but they want to give this little one propper respect as well as justice. I was at my wits end with Aarone, but after having made it through that one...almost to a successful conclusion, I know it can take seemingly FOREVER, so I'm not as stressed this time. I'm pretty sure that justice for Caylee will be served.

 

[seeker78]

It's easy for you and I to get fed up and want to rush her off into jail. Listening to the tapes, she certainly seems guilty after all.

But think of it like this:

There's no statute of limitations on murder.
You can only be tried once.


Law enforcement has from now until forever to make a murder case, and they want to make sure (for Caylee's sake) that the case is as good as it absolutely gets. Someone like Casey, once the dust settles, will get even more confident. There's no way she won't talk to someone about it.

I know it's hard to have patience, but law enforcement knows exactly what they're doing. Casey may not care that she has to live the rest of her life with Caylee's death on her hands, but she WILL care that at any second her life could be over and she could be thrown in jail (at the minimum).

 

[calgary]

There have cases with less evidence that conficted, however all the reports I hear indicate that LE simply does not have enough even to bring murder charges. I'm sure she will be convicted of the lesser charges, but I don't see this case ever closing. She will take this to the grave with her. She will never be charged with murder.

Total, with all those charges I can see her doing prison time 20-30 years. I would think most people hope she gets well past her child bearing years, by the time she gets out.

This case is not the only one dead in the water. They still have not found the killer of 5 women at Lane Bryant in Chicago. Despite a surviving eye witness. I think there are plenty people keeping mum about that. No way that will ever get to LE.

 

[kathyn2]

The problem here is that Florida has a strange double jeopardy law. You can only try a person once on the incidence. If they try Casey on neglect and not murder, and they get a conviction on neglect, they cannot go back and charge her again for murder at a later time. Since she goes to trial in november on neglect in this case, LE has to bring the murder charges by then or that is all she can ever be charged and tried for. Several lawyers from Florida have commented on this.

 

[Truthwillsetufree]

Very clever! I'll admit it took a couple of seconds for the lightbulb to come on!!

Me too... I was thinking Quack quack quack...then I got it. Finally. LOL:slap:

I think most times, on the types of theft she's charged with, people don't get the maximum sentence. As much as many would like Casey to serve a large amount of time for theft to compensate for the lack of a murder charge, that's not going to happen and that's not really justice. She could honestly get a little bit of time (if any) and probabtion for the theft. It wasn't that much money. The murder evidence probably wouldn't be admissable in the theft trial anyway.
