Is anyone besides me following this?

If so, what are your thoughts?

[StL FinFan]

I don't know how anyone can think she did not intentionally kill her child.  I can't get past the duct tape wrapped around her head where her nose and mouth were.  The evidence keeps piling up against her.  I think she is a sociopath.

[SportsChick]

Chick is downright scary crazy. That poor child

[BoSoxGrl]

I think she used chloroform on her before so she could go out and party.  I think she did it one time too many, panicked, drove around with the body in her car for a week and then tossed it out of the window into a wooded area.  20 feet isn't far to toss something that weighs 30 pounds especially if your adrenaline is pumping and you're in a hurry. 

I have never seen such cold eyes.

[StL FinFan]

I don't think her own parents are much better than she is.  At least her mother.  I'm not so sure about her dad.

I haven't spent a single second listening to reports of this case on TV or reading about it online. I vaguely know that it's about some psycho woman who killed her kid, but that was enough to make me go elsewhere for my media entertainment.

You can't get away from it in Orlando. Working at home, it has been on nonstop during my day. I think the prosecution has come up short, other than the circumstantial "she didn't tell anyone", in proving this to be a planned murder, death penalty case. I don't see the jury letting her off, but I don't see a death penalty verdict coming in either. I can't wait to see how the defense handles their lead in the next couple days.

[BoSoxGrl]

I think the last few testimonies for the prosecution is going to be very damning to any sort of defense.  I though Dr. G last week was also very damaging to the defense as well.

Side note:  I also heard that there is going to be an inmate from the prison to testify for the prosecution (possibly tomorrow).  That person probably got a pretty good bargain out of it.

[Spider-Dan]

You know, it just occurred to me: I have never heard anything about this child's father.

It seems surprising that it hasn't come up.

She lied to a guy and he thought he was the father until a DNA test was done.  I don't think the actual biological father ever had any contact with Caylee.  The guy who thought he was the father has given interviews from time to time.

I believe this is the case as well, which would make it manslaugther, not first degree murder.

[StL FinFan]

I am against the death penalty anyway, so life in prison without parole is fine with me.

Intentionally drugging your child can fall under child abuse, and makes it harder to get a manslaughter verdict instead of murder.

[BoSoxGrl]

It would also be ok with me if they released her into the general population of the prison.  I don't think she'd last a day that way.

They have no physical evidence of that. They aren't going to get a death penalty verdict on nothing but a dead body with no physical evidence of what caused the death. The prosecution has had two different theories 1) Chloroform 2) duct tape over the mouth and nose. You can't get a death penalty without knowing the cause of death in my opinion.
