Going off the assumption he's actually innocent of any wrongdoing - is it possible he didn't think he was legally obligated (since he had not legally adopted her [a presumption, since she still has her mother's surname], and DC has full, legal custody) to involve LE if she (DC) did tell him she sent Madalina off to live elsewhere AND he was led to believe Madalina was safe where she was?I’m feeling a little dense here as far as any defense CP could submit to get a not guilty verdict. I understand he’s entitled to a trial but beyond that it seems he’s just as responsible as DC insofar as neglecting to notify LE once Madalina was missing for 24 hours.
Is he going to claim that DC told him she safely moved Madalina but refused to tell him the location? Would that even exonerate him if he just took her word without question?
As I understand the law he’s considered a person who was involved in Madalina’s care so it was his responsibility to contact LE no matter what DC claimed.
Maybe I’m missing something, all I can figure is that CP is depending upon a sympathetic jury. Unless he has some bombshell to drop.
MOO of course.

North Carolina's "Caylee's Law"
In 2013 North Carolina enacted “Caylee’s Law,” S.L. 2013-52, a statute similar to laws adopted in other states after the high-profile Casey Anthony trial.nccriminallaw.sog.unc.edu
I know, that's a lot of IFs and a lot of assuming. I honestly can't think of a way he's also not guilty of failing to report her missing either, unless it's something like that.
