WESH: Duct Tape Info in the Document Release

[karenz]

Have now read conflicting statements. Need to wait for doc dump!

 

[evergreen]

Re: the duct tape: I think this could still be argued as an accident. Think of this scenario: KC leaves in a rage, Caylee is sobbing and wants her grandma. KC can't stand the sobbing and quickly pulls over and slaps some duct tape over her mouth, in such haste that she gets it in her hair. She doesn't care - she is furious and want the silence. Caylee continues to cry uncontrollably under the duct tape and either suffocates or chokes to death. KC feels guilty so she adds the heart sticker and the toys from home. She is afraid she will be charged with murder so she discards the body and acts as if everything is fine and Caylee is with Zanny. I think this is all they;ve got for a defense.
They can discount carpet fibers and dog hairs as transfer evidence as Caylee lived in the home. If they can prove overdose thru the tox reports, I think thats the true kicker. I think they could weasel out of the duct tape on the mouth. JMO...

what a rich fantasy life you must enjoy with that imagination of yours.

LOL! With Gangsta Kitty staring us down -
we were afraid to answer one way
or the other!!!!

I say the statements are not conflicting. This is because yesterday's answer to the specific question was not a specific "yes".

 

[Oakley]

Was my prediction correct? No fingerprints on the duct tape?

Not so fast, Hot Dogs. We Still need to see the docs!

IMO fingerprints on the duct tape would just be icing on a 12-tier cake. It was no accident (31 gleeful days). The grand jury was already horrified before the body was even found. I think there's definitely some kind of forensics on the tape but if it turns out not to be so it doesn't matter in the least.

I'm thinking this latest "source" was from inside the defense team..... My hinky meter went up when the article concluded with the quote from the defense spokesperson about LP.

I got the same vibe too Seamus. Especially the fact they concluded their "story" with the bit of gossip about LP.

I thought that was an oddly unprofessional way to end a "news" article.

LaLaw do you think that when she is convicted and begins to serve her sentence that she will be housed as a protected inmate? (not sure what that's called). I was wondering because IIRC Susan Smith is housed that way to protect her.

But then again I think Dahmer was too and they got to him. (the inmates)

Another thing I was curious about because I don't know anything at all about the prison system. I've heard that in male populations of prisons that a child-killer is ranked right down there with a child-rapists.

What about women's prison? There are quite a few women serving time for killing their own children. I wonder what the pecking order is with a child-killer in a women's prison.

Sorry if this is OT let me know and I'll delete. TIA for any answers I am just curious

Well, Kat, I just cannot see Casey being in a protected atmosphere such as a single cell by herself when there are other baby killers and child killers there as well. Of course it will depend on the prison and prison population. Any inmate has a classification. I feel Casey would be classified as Maximum Security. IMO, she will be with other murderers or very serious offenders. In the pecking order, she will be WAY down there. She will have her little fan club, but the real badazz inmates will hate her, IMO. And she will have to choose sides, so to speak, with any gangs, etc.. The type of inmate that would be in her fan club would be considered weak and would be willing to do her bidding. An inmate who shot and killed her own husband may have a real maternal instinct and love her children very much. This type is going to hate Casey.

Her 'hated' status might get her a single cell in some prisons, but it sure would not at St. Gabriel here in Louisiana.

JMO, but even without this upcoming doc dump, she could have been convicted with the existing evidence and gotten LWOP. That was even without the body. Now there will be so much more, or at least I believe there will.

JMO, IMO. I am certainly no expert on anything and do not know any more than anyone else!

 

[Mendara]

I bet the leak and source was from the defense in order to get everyone convinced there are finger prints and then BOOM tell us there aren't any to again poison the jury pool and get people to doubt she did this and show how the media can be so very wrong.

Exactly. They indicted her in 30 minutes with first degree premeditated murder before Caylee was even found.

Everything that is coming out in this doc dump is just icing on the 12 tier cake, as you put it so well. :clap:

 

[azwriter]

I hope they found numerous clean and clear fingerprints along with some saliva and throw in a hair.

That would make my year. How will they spin it then? Police tampering at the crime scene?

I have always believed the big hoopla JB made during the crime scene "excavation" was in part to later say the reason he wasn't allowed on the crime scene was because they were tampering with evidence.

JB could claim that, but he's got to prove it.
I too am hoping for clear prints, a little saliva, the hair, along with some fur from the family's dogs. You know that tape picks up everything. Let it work this time!

I am inclined to believe this as well. That 'dig' at LP seemed a little hinkey to me as well.

Yes and they were posting on here last night - MOOOOOOOOOO.

Perhaps this is a typo or misunderstanding and the source actually said "This is going to be good news for the defense."

That's a pretty major typo or misunderstanding. I don't see how that one could get by the writer and proofreader(s)...

Anything's possible, though. I've learned that in this case, for sure!

 

[Kimster]

I'm not getting excited about all of these reports. I just want the facts, Jack! Where's the doc dump?

 

[Secretsolver]

Maybe there were carpet fibers found on the duct tape. Not from Caseys room though. Maybe they are carpet fibers from the trunk.

On a side note, I can't even look at a roll of duct tape now without thinking about this poor baby. The other day the rocker light switch near the kitchen table cracked and half of the switch fell off. Since the switch is in the kitchen and it's possible someone could have wet hands, I put a peice of duct tape over the switch in the meantime.
While tearing the tape part of the tape, the really sticky side landed on my 1 day old nail polish. Sure enough a tiny section of the polish came off on the tape.
Maybe this is what they found under the tape on Caylee. Her mothers nail or nail polish traces.

 

[Oakley]

Whatever is in this latest doc dump must be very compelling. I say that because Baez couldn't stomach it. I cannot wait to get my hands on it!

Oh, go ahead and get excited. I believe Blink. She has gotten so much info long before media reports, including GC/TB months before reported. Blink says she called clerk's office and was told KC's fingerprints on duct tape. I'm acquainted with Blink online, through WS and I know enough about her to know she wouldn't make this up. She's got a rep and wants to keep it good. She does her homework in triplicate. You wouldn't believe some of the info she has found, documented and shared that weeks or months later was reported on by mainstream media. Here's the link:

http://🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬.com/2009/02/16/...-are-done-playin-footsie-its-a-match/#more-77

And here's the quote:

"I spoke exclusively to an inside source within the 9th Circuit offices, and was advised that the prints on the duct tape match that of Caylee’s Mother and the woman charged with her murder, Casey Marie Anthony."

I will bet my farm that Blink was told that by someone at the clerk's office. Absolutely no way she'd make that up. None.

I dunno <shrug> ... I've seen the media make all sorts of major mistakes with their reporting on this case already. What's one more?

Local 6's source says no fingerprints. Blink's source says their are fingerprints. Wesh's source would not say there were fingerprints, but did not say there were none either. Leonard "Pull My Finger" Padilla's source says there are fingerprints.

I'm going to speculate that there were none found, and no DNA was found. If there is something in the dump related to the duct tape that is incriminating, I am guessing that one of the torn edges match a torn edge on the gas can duct tape.
