Casey Anthony Trial: Expert Says Official Autopsy Was 'Shoddy' (click title to entry - thank you)

Two forensic experts testified over the weekend that 2-year-old Caylee Anthony was not necessarily suffocated by duct tape in the third day of the defense's case in the murder trial of Florida mother Casey Anthony.
Forensic expert Dr. Werner Spitz argued Saturday that the duct tape the prosecution claimed suffocated her was actually applied after her body had decomposed. He also claimed that the autopsy performed on the toddler was "shoddy," as Caylee's skull was not opened, so he conducted a second autopsy himself....
Was there anything about this case the State took seriously or was it simply trial by media? I have not followed this case, except for hearing headlines and the like, I had no idea Casey lived at home with her parents until I had a conversation with someone today.
I want to know where she got the choloform. This is some of the worst prosecution work I have ever witnessed. I knew this trial was going to be a failure from the first day of the trial. There is nothing that makes sense to any of the evidence presented. There exists nothing but ‘doubt.’ Every place. And now this. An incomplete autopsy of a toddler. Wow.
If Ms. Anthony is found guilty of anything, except, neglect of a child, I will have lost faith in the legal system. There is no iron clad evidence anywhere. There is a theory to the child’s death; theories are not enough to find guilt. Dancing until dawn is not proof of guilt.
The movies of Casey and her daughter are not of a woman that hated the burden of motherhood. They were of a mother entertaining and enjoying her child. I have a lot of questions and no one, including the family has answered them to my satisfaction. She may be found guilty, but, in appeal for all the holes in this case, it won't hold up to sincere scrutiny. There has to be another party to this murder if indeed she is found guilty. There is no way she could have acted alone and I have doubts she did it.
The testimony stating she had her car backed into the garage for two days was not a matter of her living in a home alone and having unusual activity. Her family lived in that home while she backed her car into the garage. It is all too suspicious. It just is.
