[QUOTE="klmno, post: 436103, member: 3699"] The part that does it for me (in addition to the obvious) is that the defense's story has more loop holes than swiss cheese and if this is the best defense they could think of, then they knew they really didn't have one.. If her father instigated a cover up, whether he or Casey actually hid the body, why would he do that? I can only think of 2 reasons the defense might come up with- 1 is somehow it would cover up the previous sexual abuse (supposedly) but I only say that because the defense has made that a part of the case- I can see NO way at all that it helps cover up any possible previous sexual abuse on Casey or why a grandfather would even have that thought upon finding his grandbaby just accidentally drowned- so I throw that out altogether. The other reason a father might suggest and instigate a cover up is to protect his daughter- Casey- that seems more plausible to me. However, the father isn't in there telling the jury that Casey couldn't have done it, that it was an accident and she or he or they both decided to cover it up out of panic. I could even believe that, possibly. But George isn't backing up the defense. That speaks tons to me. I can see the grandparents not going off at Casey the way they would if this was a stranger that had committed the crime. They are probably still in some level of shock and just feel numb. They are probably trying very hard to just go thru the motions required and tell the truth, as objectively as they can. OK- as an afterthought- maybe a 3rd reason a father would instigate a cover up is if he really wanted the grandbaby and his daughter both gone but there's no indication whatsoever that this would apply to George and the defense has never tried to indicate that. They remind me of myself, in a way, when I had to testify about difficult child pulling the knife on me. I wasn't there to throw him away or seek the maximum penalty for him, but I wasn't going to lie and cover for him either.
