The baby went missing in June, the body was found in December. That's a total of 6 months. All I said was that the child had been dead a MINIMUM of two months before being found, because that's how long it takes an average body to decompose to the point of skeletal remains. The skull and tape were both OUTSIDE of the bags when found. The tape was not attached to any portion of the body, bags, or clothing. The only thing that directly linked the tape to the crime seen was a patch of hair (referred to during the trial as a "hair mat"). When tested, two DNA samples were recovered, one belonging to the lab tech who tested the strip and one belonging to an unknown 3rd party not related to the chain of evidence. Based on the condition of the bones it was ASSUMED that the tape had been placed on Caylee's face, but nobody could confirm that with any certainty.
As far as the jury not caring, or failing to return the "correct verdict"....I would suggest you read the evidence reports that were released and check out the trial transcripts. The evidence presented couldn't put Casey at the scene of the body dumping, couldn't provide a COD, couldn't provide a corroborated motive, couldn't prove premeditation, etc. Somebody said (and rightly so), "It's awfully weird that Casey spent 31 days hooking up and hanging out when her child was missing" and decided to try and build a case based on that observation. They failed. So now, all we have is strange behavior over 31 days and a skeleton. That's it. That is not enough for me to hand down a guilty verdict and possible death sentence.
Then again, it was brought to my attention that I'm a pragmatist, not an emotional responder.
Im not an emotional responder either...Ive been involved with enough murder cases to know precisely how it works...but theres no purpose in continuing this she got away with murder....I just hope she doesnt profit like OJ didnt
