What Is the Defense Strategy #2

[costalpilot]

Nicki, I don't think for a minute that KC would allow that. She isn't going to permit herself or permit the defense to associate her in any manner with Caylee's death. She'd fire them first!

she cant fire them

 

[snoopydoo]

I've just been sitting here wondering what the defense's opening statements would be, and trying to see what they might come up with that's even halfway plausible.

I'm guessing they'll paint Jesse Grund as the 'real' Zenaida.

 

[costalpilot]

I have a hunch that they are going to claim that KC did give Caylee to someone for safekeeping while the drama played out at her house--only for obvious reasons they can no longer claim it was ZFG. Who they will claim it is I have no idea. That is the only way I see them getting around the 31 days and the partying.

that would require another separate investigation. and when that came up empty, whaaaaaaaaaa...........

back to square one.

Where did you get this letter? Who did she send it to? This is my theory-weird.

This is ICA letter to Robyn Adams in 2009 approx. The letters were released into evidence after Mason came on board so sometime after March 2010.

Thanks for that link.

Interesting Casey sentence, with her observation that many of us moms would disagree with:
"I don‟t know one single mom who doesn‟t try to get
their freedom regardless of how old they are. "

Here is what I believe the defense will claim in opening statements. Defense team will say that Casey left the house without Caylee, and that Casey never knew what happened to Caylee. They will then claim that they are going to show that their client had nothing to do with Caylee's death, and that while she was partying she had no idea of Caylee's whereabouts.

They will say that Cindy had no idea what happened to Caylee either, and she mistakenly believed that Casey did, and that is why she called 911, and kept calling Casey to inquire about Caylee. It will come out that Casey was afraid of George Anthony, and at some point figured out he was responsible for Caylee's death. Because she feared for her own life, she protected her father by keeping silent.

They will claim the whole ZFG story was made out of duress because Casey so feared for her own life.
In other words, George was the reason that story came out.

There are some problems with this defense scenario though. Why would Cindy call and text Casey daily asking to talk to the baby ? And why would Casey tell her the baby was with Zanny if Casey thought she was back at home?
If Casey was so afraid of George why was she going back to the house every other day and stealing gas and frozen food?

And WHY would she walk out of her house and leave her baby behind without ever checking back to see how she was? Makes no sense to me. She is going to just walk away and forget her and party?

It crossed my mind for a fleeting moment recently too. ewwww

I have to say I just said the same thing yesterday....My husband thought I was crazy! I said I just was trying to guess what kind of rabbit the defense is going to pull out of their hats! RK and ICA doubt it....but stranger things have happened in this case...................

yup you know it! Not saying it did (kinda makes me sick) but I was tarnished when a patient of mine was a product of incest and his mama was 33! The dad/granddad was 74... uke:

 

[jumpinjack]

I believe he will say that Caylee drowned & was too scared to tell anyone because of the abuse & her PTSD...& that she partied etc wrote those checks & shopped because she was trying to forget...And, I think he will say that the police arrested her to quickly & she was too scared to tell even them

This is what I think as well. And Casey will never take the stand in her own defense. She'll let Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum be her mouthpiece.

I don't know if this has been discussed previously BUT do you guys think that the DT will give their opening statement at the start or will they wait until the State rests?

 

[catnron]

10 min. until showtime, sending hugs to all of you, and passing out hankies.

 

[PrintGal]

Wonder if JB dispatched CM over the lunch break to get MORE smoke and mirrors. After opening statements they may have concluded that they didn't stock up on enough initially.

 

[thumbtack]

Will we know by the end of court each day who the next day's witnesses are?

 

[Silkprint]

This wait is terrible . Her DT should have told her to STOP shaking her head but then again maybe they know she will flip out if they do [ that's how my sister is ] anyway it seems we will FINALLY find out what is under their hat .

I was thinking about this the other night because I was reading through the jailhouse letters again where ICA states she gave Caylee to the "real" Zenaida. It was as if she was saying okay, not that ZFG the one I told the cops about, but the real one. When I was reading this I was wondering how the defense team were going to say okay she was lying to LE, there was no nanny - because all the State have to do is bring up that letter where she is still saying there is a nanny or a Zenaida.

So your theory makes a lot of sense. There was a criminal defense attorney on tv saying you must be very careful if you are going to put yourself at the scene of a crime because you are asking a jury to believe you were there and it was an accident, but you didn't do anything to cause the death. This attorney said that this scenario is fraught with danger and no way would he advise a client to admit to putting themselves at the scene of the crime at the time of death, because a jury is just as likely to believe that you're lying. At the end of the interview he didn't believe that the defense would go down the road of accident theory.

I don't think they will either - the defense has to explain that jailhouse letter and I believe they will say that ICA gave Caylee to "someone" probably much like the Elizabeth Johnson case.

So defense theories they can't use...

1. Accident - ICA won't admit to that because she would still get serious jail time, can't put client at scene of crime at time of death

2. George did it - No one is going to believe this, there is no proof whatsoever to support this claim, nor can a case be made for reasonable doubt.

3. ZFG (LE statements) ex members of the defense team have already come out and said this is a lie - This Zenaida does not exist

4. Roy Kronk - again no one will believe this as this man was unknown to the family, had no access to Caylee and Caylee was in possession of her mother at last sighting - no discernible proof to back these allegations.

5. JGrund - once again, no access no proof

I think the mitigation experts/investigators poured over ICA's scribblings from jail and are using everything they can in there - and that is where all the mitigation excuses come from and the "REAL" Zenaida.

quoting myself which is bad form, sorry, but in light of ICA's head shaking thought it was worth a re posting.

 

[darnudes]

I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Never would have believed the defense would say what they did today. I'm stunned and have no words.

 

[kinsey milhoune]

Someone posted near the end of the trial thread & I want to repeat it here.

Now Baez has put out there that Casey knew of Caylee's death, but with GA denying the drowning, where does that leave the defense????? OOPS!

 

[shgrbkr]

Team KC is reaching reaching reaching.

Me too darnudes! Don't feel bad--I've been in the legal field for 30+ years and I was wrong too. I can't believe this is the defense--JB put the needle in her arm as far as I am concerned. Is there anyone they did not throw under the bus? I think the DT made a terrible, terrible mistake with this defense. One thing that has always been clear about GA is that he loved Caylee. No one is going to believe if she drowned GA took no action to save her.
