[QUOTE="klmno, post: 436259, member: 3699"] Some on tv are saying she and the defense team have her backed in a corner- she has to either take the stand or conceed that the whole defense's opening argument was a lie because they have no other person to say it is true, or she takes the stand and shows her true colors under cross examination. Lies are a lot easier to pull off when you are telling them to family who loves you and wants to believe you than they are to objective people with no personal stake and they follow experts testifying to the opposite of what you're saying. As far as the death penalty vs life imprisonment- I don't care as long as she never sees freedom again in her life. I figure whether she's in the general population, on death row, or kept in confinement she'll pay a huge price either way. I suppose she'll always have supportes who can't believe she could have possibly intentionally killed her baby and that gives a fair chance for her to prove either way. But one point made yesterday is that if they had a stranger or grown man sitting on trial for this, not many people would be trying so hard to poke holes in the evidence- thry would pretty much all come to the conclusion that this evidence can only point to intentional murder. What that tells me is that people are letting what they want to believe (that a mother couldn';t intentionally and willfully do this) interfere with looking at the evidence and adding it up. But I don't want to be judgemental so maybe I should back up and say that I just don't see how it could add up to anything else, although I did try to be neutral and objective early on. And I will be interested to see if the defense has anything to pull out that we aren't forseeing to cast more doubt on the prosecution's theory. Funny thing about the defense saying that the superimposed photos/video would prejuduice the jury- you know darn good and well if it had shown that the duct tape couldn't cover both the nose and mouth, the defense attny would have made sure it got shown. So why would the same evidence be prejudicial if it shows the likelihood of guilt? I do believe that Casey is living in her own little world and has extremely narcissistic and distorted thinking- and her choices have had a lot to do with the approach of the defense team. Unfortunately, I think she pushed her luck way too far with this approach. One of the attnys on tv said she'd probably get 2nd degree because there isn't enough direct evidence for most juries to give 1st degree. I don't know- the prosecution had more than I thought they did but we haven't heard the defense yet. They better have something in their back pocket to pull out. By the people calling in the talk show, it didn't sound to me like there was a lot of reasonable doubt in the public's mind that this was more than an accidental death in a pool. I'm not positive about this since I'm not an expert, but I would think that if Caylee had vomited in the trunk of the car, samples of the carpet would have indicated that. After all, they had samples from the car musch sooner than the 6 mos it took to find the body which didn't have a lot left on it to get evidence from. I won't get into the gory details, but if you saw the testimony coming out late yesterday afternoon, it seems to indicate that the evidence in the car pointed directly to, and only to, that Caylee died in the car and was there long enough for decompisition to be taking place at least a few days.
