Negligence is the act of not reporting an accident that could result in the death of a child.
Um...the fact that no one else was caring for the child besides the mother. Dead child = neglegent care-taker unless the child died by natural causes.
'Could'?
What evidence proves negligence?
If negligence were to be true in this case, that would prove there was no premeditated murder.
I'm amazed that KC wouldn't allow Caylee to be around cigarette smoke, but it was fine for Caylee to be at a party with men who were almost naked. Mother of the Year I think not!
Thirty one days of not seeing your child would be negligence in my book.
Is Casey charged with culpable negligence?
Is Casey charged with culpable negligence?
Not anymore it's Murder One, so why would you bring up neglect?
I live in a state in which, like Florida, if a child dies on your watch, and it is due to negligence, it can be considered manslaughter. I often use the word assume because I'm not comfortable substituting my own opinions for facts as some do.
I live in a state in which mothers who leave their children unattended in cars even for a minute or two and within sight are arrested for neglect. If a child died in an "accident" that was unreported - and therefore that child never received professional help which might have saved its life, the state would see that as tantamount to manslaughter since the child is dependent on that adult for medical aid. Not rendering aid would be considered felony level neglect.
You may find my notions mind-boggling, and it may be your opinion they are incredibly erroneous, but I feel like I'm in good company here.
You are right. The problem some people have is slavishness to the letter of the law. I personally do not care if the right thing (justice for caylee) is achieved in the technical 'wrong' way. The legal system is not fool proof and the point of it all is for justice, not just following procedure for heaven's sake.
The system is here for everyone, not just legal professionals who are often out of touch with the spirit with which our system was founded. Kinda sad, but I trust the jury to do the right thing.
What evidence is there that in any way points to a predator?:waitasec:
Sure, anyone could have done it.
But, a preditor would have had to, somehow, take the child out of KC's custody.
"A pathological liar is usually defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. Pathological lying is often viewed as coping mechanism developed in early childhood and it is often associated with some other type of mental health disorder..."

From what I gather, a pathological liar would not believe his or her own lies. I think if you believe in self-created fantasy, then you have some other type of psychological disorder that goes far beyond lying.
So, it comes down to the fact that KC knows how Caylee left her hands and she is lying about it.
If anyone could come up with one, logical reason why KC would be lying about how an alive-and-well Caylee left the hands of her mother other than to protect KC's own self, then I would love to hear it!
If a preditor took Caylee and now an innocent KC is looking at death row, why wouldn't KC simply state the facts about how the bad guy got little Caylee?
I understand where you are coming from and agree with your assessment that justice is served more when it fairly seeks recompense for the victim. I haven't seen a legal professional here yet who has disputed anything like that and the slavishness I see in some has nothing to do with the law but obvious personal bias.
Some people are not acknowledging the fact that Murder One in FL does not require premeditation if the death resulted from felony child abuse or any death in the commission of a felony. Premeditation is just icing on the cake if it can be proved. DP can result anyway. Lin and others have presented fine arguments using actual documentation from FL statues and not incessant begging the question in order to establish that here. Others engage in circular, pedantic arguments based on personal opinion - which is fine - but personal opinion none the less.
You should really read Dr Haskell's report on when death likely occurred- it is as close to timeline as we are going to get, for now - he says
Based upon insect development recovered from the autopsy, or from the scene where the remains were deposited,is consistent for death and insect colonization occurring in the later portion of June 2008 into July.
That knocks the 'body was moved' story out quite nicely.
