It's funny, but I think everyone here, besides me, thinks the mother is lying. I'm just not as sure of that part as all of you, but if the jury thinks like the majority of Yorkietalkers, they are going to think she's lying too.
With me, her testimony didn't change my mind enough to show Casey is innocent. I think what we are really talking about is, “Was the act premeditated?” I do not think the state has ever shown that, I do think she gave her different drugs when she went out to party, and may have even kept her in the trunk when she was visiting her boyfriends. She’s told people before that she gave her daughter drugs to make her sleep. Why the state didn’t make these people testify, I don’t know, it’s almost like the state thought that might show it could have been accidental? Maybe the other drugs weren't working as well any longer and she gave her something stronger, chloroform? Was the taping of the mouth to keep her quiet, who knows, but, even so, this is such extreme abuse, that she deserves to be severely punished? I’m also upset that she seems to be making up the story about the drowning and her father’s involvement, as an former police officer, I just don’t buy that he’d ever do this, and if so, it wouldn’t be this sloppy. He also would have never told police officers that his own car smelled like a dead body.
I’ve read of other “mothers” keeping their children in the trunk, while they did their own thing, and if Casey slept in too long in the morning, and left her daughter in the trunk, with the Florida sun, it would have killed her.
How many of you think it was premeditated, and why?
