Not meaning to butt into the conversation..

I just wonder if you have indisputable evidence that the mom transported the child’s body there?

I say that in sincerity. If there was evidence that you saw or heard, I’d be interested.

I guess that is why I asked earlier..will the investigation continue?

Here’s a task for you.

REASONABLY explain how this body got to the location and condition described above WITHOUT it being a homicide.

Well, I'll do that task if you do one for me first. If you would be so kind, please ask a practicing or retired criminal lawyer (in the U.S.) to write an explanation of why the defense would have to answer that question in court, then post their answer here. I'm fairly sure the defense would not have to answer that question.

Same way it would get there if it was a homicide. Someone had to “package” that poor baby and dump her in the trees. That still doesn’t give a cause of death. To folks like you and me it seems obvious that indicates murder- trouble with that is many, many times people have hidden dead bodies that weren’t murdered- for different reasons, mostly mental.

The duct tape is puzzling to me- why murder a child with duct tape when she had a pool to drown her in to make it look like an accident? If she killed her in a rage at her mother like many think then why didn’t she just physically strangle her or something like that? Seems like a lot of trouble to do the duct tape thing, strange murder method.

This whole case is so strange, problem is we are trying to make sense of something that a mentally ill person did. Casey is without a doubt mentally ill- that doesn’t in any way excuse whatever she did- lots of folks in prison and even death row with mental issues. She was determined to be sane enough to stand trial but she is far from sane.

The very least she did is trash her baby even if the baby didn’t die as a result of anything she did to her. From there it goes to leaving the child alone for someone else to harm, or her to harm herself, die from heat in the car- drug the baby so she could party and overdose given- some combination of that all the way to cold blooded murder. Casey is definately guilty- but of what?

If I had been on the jury I would have fought tooth and nail for at least the child abuse conviction. I don’t know that I could have fought for the other charges but I wouldn’t have caved all the way. I do think the prosecutor and jury dropped the ball.
