Ugh... What's this supposed to suggest?

So I read an article today saying that there were really high levels of this chemical called chloroform, a substance used to sedate patients before surgery, in Casey's car.  Casey's confiscated computer also shows someone hitting up various web sites on the chemical.  I hope she has a good reason for that because that really makes me sick.  

Here's the link.

Re: Ugh... What's this supposed to suggest?

  • What reason can she possibly give? She is sick, demented and twisted. She is living in her own parallel universe where she actually believes she's smarter than law enforcement and will still somehow be able to lie her way out of this.

    The sad reality is, we will likely never know what really happened to little Caylee.

  • I know.  She'll never talk.  She'll keep up her lie till the grave.  She has no need to.  Unless OC has stronger evidence against her.
  • I think the invesitgators are being very methodical with this. I have worked in the criminal courts for over 6 years and can honestly say I have never seen anything this disturbing.

    They're not going to release everything they have to the public too far in advance. A lot of that is because they wouldn't want to taint the jury pool so that when it comes trial time she can't whine for a change of venue. I think the citizens of Orange County deserve to decide this one, certainly.

    Sadly, I think the grandparents are in on this as well. Either they were involved or know something after the fact. It really wouldn't surprise me to see them face charges down the road. But, with the grandfather being in law enforcement himself, he would know how to dispose of a body and/or evidence.

    The prosecutors don't necessarily need a body to prove a murder was committed. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence building against her quickly. But, like I said before, she'll never talk. So, the chance of ever knowing what really happened are extremely slim.

    Sorry for my ramble. This whole case just really strikes a nerve with me. I have a toddler myself, and could never imagine causing harm to her. It just makes me sick that someone who could shares in my society.

  • Yeah I'm pretty obsessed with this case myself.  Not only because of the sweet girl that's missing but also because it hits home as her and her brother went to my school, her house is by mine, and I know people who personally knew her and I just can't believe someone would do something like that and honestly think they can get away with it.

    I know they don't need a body and we don't know everything they have but right now alot of the evidence they've released is very circumstantial and I think unless they have other evidence it's going to be hard to prove she personally killed her child. 

    I think it should be tried here and our citizens deserve to decide it but I don't see any defense attorney in his right mind allowing it to be done here.  It has been entirely too big here in Orlando.  I'm not sure where they'll be able to do it as this case has hit National news.

    As far as the grandparents, I don't think they helped do anything to Caylee but have seen or heard things that confirm what everyone thinks and are keeping it to themselves to save their daughter.

  • You're right about the defense atty asking to move it out of Orlando, but where? National media or not, it has to remain in Florida to be tried under Florida statutes. They could move it to another jurisdiction where perhaps the citizens would be less likely to be as familiar with the area and such. I guess we'll have to see what happens there.

    First the hair in her trunk, then the air samples, now chloroform? Now they've said "someone with access to her computer" was doing internet searches on chloroform on her computer. Personally, I don't think Casey is smart enough to be able to pull all this off on her own. Someone helped her dispose of the body. I doubt either of the grandparents had anything to do with Caylee's death, but one or both of them had to be involved in the after. And at this point if they truly do know something and are refusing to disclose it, they could face the same obstruction charges Casey is.

  • People are convicted on circumstantial evidence every day.  If the decomposing material in the trunk matches Caylee's DNA then it proves she was dead in her mother's trunk and they don't need a body.  Most cases are not solid evidence pointing directly to the person who did it, it's lots of circumstantial evidence that just builds and builds to the point that the jury believes it's enough to overcome a reasonable doubt.  We don't know what else the police have.

    Finally, they will at the very least get her on child negligence and may even get her on some type of manslaughter.  But murder, probably not unless there is more evidence like the chloroform which would tend to suggest she planned out killing Caylee.

    Well I know right now Mr. George Anthony is the night time/graveyard security guard at my sister's work.  He works for some security company that outsources their security guards to different places.  She said that is the talk of her workplace.  I dont doubt that!  What kind of cop was he in the past?  Someone said he did homicide detective work.  Not sure if that is true.

    I know they can convict without a body but without something else tying her into it they can prove her body was there but can they prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she actually killed her kid.  That's the part I hope they have the missing link for.

  • He was a cop in Ohio. I'm not sure if he was a homicide detective though.

     

  • Okay, so they find Caylee's hair in Casey's car. Then the air samples test positive for gases released from a decomposing body in Casey's car. Now, they have found chloroform in Casey's car. Do you see the common demoninator here? Casey's car. All of this circumstantial evidence has been found in a car she had sole care and custody of. Unless she adds to her story that not only did "Zanny the Nanny" steal the baby but her car too, I think it will be fairly easy to meet the beyond a reasonable doubt requirement.
