(respectfully snipped) I do have children--four--and am a grandmother as well. No one suggested neatly folded and Devon's theory has both a ring of familiarity and is entirely plausible from my experience w toddlers. This is the same age as a granddaughter of mine currently, and close to the age of my youngest daughter at the time. I can easily envision this scenario (ie partially undressing, removing shoes etc) it makes as much sense as anything.
Yes consciousness of guilt on some level but of what? There is more than one level of culpability. Because you or I could muster courage to confess to a lesser act of negligence does not mean that KC, raised the way she was in that present state of fear, panic and/or defensiveness, possessed the composure to admit a lesser degree of responsibility. It may not have been the State, but the detection and prosecution of her own mother which posed the greatest threat to KC's narcissistic, underdeveloped and immature conscience. And in order to deny any responsibility whatsoever, it may have become necessary in her mind, her twisted psyche, to deflect even the blame for negligence. Anyone who does not comprehend this possibility has never known a desperate, self-preserving, blameshifting young "adult" (using loosely here) with their back against the wall. I have known such a person. She is 21 years old with a three year-old. We just didn't have a pool in our backyard eg, nor an enabling or excusing parent... but had the same circumstances occurred I can not honestly say how she would've reacted. I want to believe the grace in her life could permit her to own up to an act of negligence and spare her the "need" to cover up or stage something so elaborate. Permissiveness--which only increases license-- is not the same thing as grace, which holds a child accountable but does not shame or condemn.
Devon and Wudge are the only ones NOT making a truckload of assumptions here. KC's statements belie reality... but conflict no less and no more or are equally contradictory to the kidnapping story as to an accidental scenario.
Jbean c'mon admit it, you know you've missed me lolol

Sorry.. anyone who can callously rob her disabled grandfather's account to buy herself goodies, then lie and scream obscenities back at her parents when confronted is not a timid broken blossom.
KC has never lost touch with reality. She is, and was, oriented to person, place, time, and situation. That she is "afraid." is belied by the fact that she has taken on both GA and CA, head to head, on several situations. Remember GA and his "f---ing gas cans." And, CA challenging hjer for answers, then backing down (at the jail).
KC has certainly not been confused by fear or panic in the many instances where she has robbed friends and family, then constructed a complex of lies. CA has had to pillage her 401K account to pay off KC's victims.
KC is a common-as-dirt sociopath. Hard as nails, manipulative and mendacious. She is very dangerous, because she could have another baby. She could also have a husband with a fat life insurance policy, when she needs cash.
She has never shown any signs/symptoms of shock or disorientation. Only anger, when her will is blocked.
I DO agree that she was overindulged. However, adults still have to choose to grow up, or not. She knew and knows what the penalties are for murder. She would happily and easily throw innocents under the bus for her crime.
IMHO, they only thing she has ever feared was getting caught.
The issue here is that a two-year old baby died at the hands of her mother. There is a mountain of evidence that will prove that. That baby was helpless, and entirely dependent on the one who took her life. There is also the danger that is she gets off, she could do it, again.
And, if KC deserves sympathy, why not SP? Why not all others who kill their kids? Their spouses?
No sympathy here.
