The duct tape has received a lot of attention and discussion.
I would like to know if something has been overlooked.
Was it said in court by the prosecution exactly who put the tape on Caylee?
Was it a member of the Anthony household, or not? How would that be known?
Was it said when, where or under what circumstances the tape was applied?
Was the tape the cause of death? In what manner? Was the tape applied to a live Caylee, or a dead Caylee?
Some here think the tape was definitively placed on Caylee by Casey, and I would like to know why that is the only possible thought that should be entertained?
And if it was not proffered in court by the prosecution as to the role of the duct tape in the death of Caylee,and who applied it to her, how is the jury to decide that?
On the basis of what facts? Not theory. Facts.
There were four adults in the Anthony household. The tape, rather unique in its characteristics, was in the household.
It would be reasonable to assume that all could have had access to the duct tape in question at any time.
Which one put the tape on Caylee? Or was there a John Doe #5 that did it? What did the prosecution say? What was proven in court so that a reasonable doubt was not possible?
Obviously the Last Person to See Caylee Alive put the duct tape on her and that Last Person is Casey.
After all even her attorney said there is NO nanny. Oh-oh!!! Lee didn’t see Caylee last. Cindy didn’t see Caylee last. George (yes, even George the boogeyman in this wild tale) didn’t see Caylee last.
If John Doe did it HOW did he get Caylee alone? How did he get this very unusual duct tape? How did he get the Winnie the Pooh blanket from Caylee’s bed? How did he get Cindy’s laundry bag from the garage?
Therein lays the problem. They couldn’t prove any of those. Only speculation. The prosecution spent it’s entire time trying to prove murder one but couldn’t establish how she died, when she died, who put the body in the bag, or anything else.
Those prone to emotionalism want someone punished and made their minds up because of Casey’s behavior. Nothing based on pure incontrovertible facts.
When the prosecutor himself admits on Greta that the tape could have moved during the time it was under water going through storms and possible animal involvement you know that even they had reasonable doubt about the suppositions they presented in court.
