The point has been and remains that prosecutors are not claiming that Casey died as a result of aggravated child abuse. Rather, they claim she died from a premediatated murder. So they charged her that way. They did not charge her with felony murder.
Just so you understand, theoretically, once jurors begin their deliberations, they could decide that Caylee died from aggravated child abuse and find Casey guilty on that charge. However, they could not find her guilty of felony-murder, because prosecutors have not charged Casey with felony-murder.
(Jurors are not able to convict on non-existent charges.)
Hi Wudge, It would be interesting to learn on what basis the State claims she died from a premeditated murder. And this charge was pre-finding of the body, right?
Back to Dr Baden on Greta last night, he did state that the tape o'er the mouth area would ha*e had particles from the skin it was fixated to. And he made it sound like this e*idence would still be on the sticky side of that tape with the remains skeletonized.
Maybe that is why Dr Perper stated that tape was across her mouth when she died. Being a coroner in Florida and knowing Dr G's staff as he must, I think he knows more than we do about the truth of the matter.
I would think if true, that would be an agri*ating condition of premeditated murder, allowing suffering of the *ictim, and those charges might be amended.
PS: Last day for the *'s, just ha*e to go pick up my new keyboard. ;} Sorry, as I know it makes it hard to read.
