I have grown woefully tired of all the Wednesday morning quarterbacking. While I agree that justice has not been served for Caylee, I'm not so certain, as everyone else seems to be, just who is really to blame.
My first point would be that the prosecution was woefully inept in that they totally over-reached. Had they gone with manslaughter or something of a lesser charge, other than murder one, they may have had a conviction.
Both the mother and father were both caught in lies diminishing both of their testimonies.
The prosecution relied on totally unproven science in a couple instances such as the Death Odor. The hair found in the trunk, said to be post mortem, was also shown to be an unreliable piece of evidence.
Ok, so what do I think? You really want to know?.
I think that there may be some truth to the abuse by the father theory although probably not sexual but more controlling than anything else. I could be way off here but everyone else is spouting and this is my blog so I'm spouting too. This still does nothing to explain the poor little girl's death but could help to explain the twisted disregard of her lifeless body relegated to a trash bag.
I find it hard to believe that a mother, no matter how good or lousy she was at being one, could kill her daughter to obtain freedom from responsibility.
Perhaps it was an accident that the father helped cover up. Maybe the father had zero to do with it. We'll never know.
Had the state not been so zealous in the prosecution and instead gone for manslaughter, more than likely, Casey Anthony would be spending the next 10 years in prison instead of working on a book deal.
I am just as pissed about the injustice in this case as the next person, but not because she isn't getting the death penalty, because no one is going to pay for this crime other than Caylee.
And that's my 2 cents, for what it's worth.
