Ok, I've read through the thread. And have made 2 pages of notes. I'll try to not re-state them all here.
Air evidence not proof - DNA was once a new procedure. When air sampling evidence is admitted into court, it will no doubt be treated the same way DNA evidence once was. The issue will be appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court for a final determination on its admissibility. And given the fact that it's a well-established, reputable facility that has done the testing, IMO, it will be ultimately be ruled a new test for use in criminal cases. IIRC, that's called establishing a precedent.
What we have and haven't 'seen' or 'read' - Just because we haven't had another 400+ page document dump doesn't mean LE is not working. I am among those who believe that LE is doing an extraordinarily good job. Investigating. Acting on credible leads. Interview. Forensics testing. Etc. This is on ongoing investigation, not an investigation based on charges that have been filed. IMO, the charges will come, but not until LE has finished their work to the best of their abilities. IMO we will not, and should not see any of that until charges have been placed.
Now, about proof. Prefaced by IMO: There will be no proof either way (unless, of course, KC has an attack of conscience and confesses all) until:
1) LE's investigation is complete.
2) Either the DA files charges or a grand jury direct indicts.
3) The case is tried.
4) A verdict is rendered.
5) The case goes through all of the appellate processes.
Then, IMO, then, and only then, will it be proof. But even after that whole process, there will still be naysayers out there crying "the evidence wa tainted," "LE didn't treat her fair," "it was a conspiracy." Sad. So sad.
A very smart attorney I know and respect told me one time: The courts don't guarantee justice. They guarantee a chance at justice. It's not a flawless system, but it's the best we have.
I am, sadly, in the 1% category. I believe Caylee is no longer with us. I don't know the child or the family or any of the players. Nonetheless, this whole thing devastates me.
