Do prosecutors ever bring up the CSI factor? Was it mentioned to the jury in this case?

I don't think it was brought up and there's a reason: juries tend to perceive that kind of argumentation as a concession by the prosecution that their evidence is weak.

It's something that is tailor-made for the defense to jump all over.

The case...A dead child. A lying, party girl mother who forgot to call 911.

The pool scenario should have never been introduced. It simply didn't fit.

Makes sense. It’s a kind of d*mned if you do, d*mned if you don’t, situation.
