Sorry this is a long one.
I have some serious questions regarding this case for anyone with a lot of legal and/or LE knowledge:
1. So far Casey is charged with theft, check fraud, child neglect and hindering the investigation by lying to LE. How long can she be kept in jail on these charges. Why did LE wait to charge her with check fraud until last night. Is there a strategy behind this? If she is convicted on all of these charges only what is the maximum penalty in FL?
2. I read that the body farm testing is admissible in court in a murder trial and is almost as good as DNA evidence....but they also said this kind of testing is a relatively "new" kind of testing for LE to use.
What is the chance that the results could be wrong or misleading and how would that look to a judge and jury if that's all they have against her? How much do they really know about it? From a legal perspective how likely is it that this would hold up in court if she were brought to trial.
3. They claim to have DNA evidence from hair found in the trunk but they also said that it could be Casey's or Caylee's and since they are mother and daughter how conclusive is that really?
(How much hair are we talking about? One strand or a clump? because I know I shed worse that my cat does and I could guarantee that my hair would be on, in, and around almost anything that I come in contact with. It doesn't seem to necessarily mean much that hair was found in the family car...even in the trunk.)
4. What is the status of the test on the "FLUID" found in the car? I've heard very little about it but it seems like this could be the best evidence they have if it is from Caylee's body. It seems that it would be extremely difficult for Casey to explain how blood, urine or vomit, etc. from a 3 year old got into the TRUNK of a car......a car that just happens to also smell of human decomposition.
5. While all this evidence is compelling and went considered together I believe most people would suspect foul play, there seems to be NO TANGIBLE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE to prove that Casey harmed her daughter. If all of this evidence along with the cadaver dogs alert were enough to convict her of a murder then WHY hasn't she been charged yet. Do you think that LE is keeping a bombshell under wraps until they have exhausted all search options or hope of locating the body.....the whole things leads me to believe that LE knows that they no matter what we all suspect, they do not have a case......leading to my final question:
6. It has been AT LEAST over a month since this child was seem alive. If she is dead and buried or hidden what are the chances that there is anything left of the body at this point except bones? I believe that mother nature could pretty much dissolve a body in as little as two weeks in such a hot damp climate. What does this mean for Casey? If they find remains but cannot determine the cause of death or they NEVER find Caylee and Casey NEVER talks, could Casey simply walk away from the apparent disappearance of her daughter with no further charges?
Believe me, I am not trying to argue her innocence in the least.
I fully believe that Casey Anthony is a severely troubled young woman and that she definitely had something to do with Caylee's disappearance. Additionally it seems that her parents have only compounded her problems by denying the truth and failing to get her professional help a long time ago.
Do you think her lawyer is telling her to just keep quiet because LE doesn't have a case?
In cases where people have been convicted without a body or physical evidence there is usually some kind of eye witness testimony or something to link the person to the actual commission of a crime or the intent to commit a crime.......pre-meditation or something. All we really see here is a girl with a lot of problems who became a mother too young and didn't really want to responsibility. But didn't most people say she was a loving mother to her child? She may have expressed doubts about her life with Caylee, that seems some what normal under the circumstances.
Also if a dead body were moved from the yard into the car and transported some where like the dumpster the store parking lot would the dogs not be able to follow the sent to some degree and would they not alert on the dumpster as well?
