Casey, herself, is not a reliable person to be involved in any 'quotes' as far as credibility. She has been compromised by her image after her daughter was missing and to state her father was abusive is a legitimate observation by her regardless of her pandering to her parents seeking power through their power. It could be the relationship with her parents today is simply an extension of the alleged abuse. She has personality disorders, probably Borderline Personality Disorder to say the least. Is she guilty? On circumstantial evidence? I can't believe the prosecution has such a weak forensic case.
The State has the body and there should be all kinds of DNA evidence found at and with the crime scene and victim. Yet, I do not hear any reporting of a clear DNA match from the body that would close the case on Casey. I find that to be really odd.
To say Casey is a negligent mother is an understatement, but, a murderer? There should be all kinds of evidence against her and yet the best The State has is circumstantial. The jury will probably rule against her plea of not guilty, but, the case bothers me. Mothers kill, no doubt about that, but, everything is so strange leading to the discovery of the body and the evidence itself, I find it disturbing this is not an open and shut case from all venues.
Casey has been her own worst enemy in many ways, but, not without the prompting of people that surrounded her. It is a sad case and Caylee was a beautiful child. She was surrounded by dysfunction at every turn, but, she found reasons to smile. I wish mothers, in doubt of their ability to care for a child, be it financial, emotional or otherwise, would consider offering those children up for aboption. In this case, Caylee was victim to the family that somewhat defined itself as a caring family in regard to a young girl. Casey didn't have the personality strength to step back and realize parenthood was not her idea of fun. The State should have done better by this child and it concerns me that Caylee's death is known to more than one woman that was her mother. I don't really believe Caylee is receiving justice, but, that is just me. An entire month without questions or concerns. Wow.
