The skull needs to be opened to see if there is any damage to the "things" inside the skull...such as the brain. When it is a SKELETON, they do not need to cut the top off the skull because they can see inside of it already....through the bottom.
It was just another FOOLISH attempt by the defense to confuse the jury...and hey, it worked.
Just wanted to add...they do not want to cut the top of the skull off (if they don't need to) because it can cause damage to the skull, especially when it is a child as the bone is more fragile. That is exactly what happened...he cut the top off of Caylee's skull and caused a fracture that wasn't there before.
