So, you're the district attorney. The sheriff's detectives have come to you with the evidence so far.
How do you proceed? You see Casey, silent and stoic, she hasn't cracked but you have evidence that:
She is habitual liar
Her child's body was in her trunk
Her's child's body was in the yard
The child was never left with a babysitter by the name of ZG either on the 9th of June or the 16th.
You know that she made many phone calls on the 16th but didn't connect with her family. Maybe you've surmised that on that day, she made an error that cost her the life of the her child and she was trying to get help. You think that she was afraid that she'd be blamed and so she disposed of the body.
But now that time has gone by, people are calling for a resolution, she's cost the county hundreds of man hours and thousands of dollars. You know that you can bring this case to trial without a body and given the fact that you are not going to get a confession out of Miss A, how do you build the best case?
I would start by tossing out the notion at it was a accident and build a case for pre-meditated murder.
I would start to think that Casey wasn't trying to get help on the 16th, and that after killing her child and dumping her body, she was trying to tell a dramatic story about how she turned her back and her child was kidnapped. When she wasn't able to do that, she had to take her time and makeup another story, a flawed story about a job and a babysitter.
So to make that case, I would go back to each and everyone of her associates. I would tell them that they are not suspects but since I have phone records and photographs of them enjoying illicit drugs, I may need to investigate them a bit more concerning Caylee's possible death. I want them to tell me everything they know about the Casey who could kill her own child. I would want them to despise Casey enough for almost ruining their lives, that everything they would say in court substantiates the image of Casey as a person who could murder and who wanted her child dead.
Once I had that done, I'd go back to Casey and offer her one more chance to recover the body and try to prove that Caylee's death was an accident and that Casey is just an immature idiot, not a cold blooded baby murderer.
Fess up Casey, this will come to trial. Murder one or manslaughter?
