Problem is, one or more of those jurors may be one of those who has to have a picture of the murderer holding a vial of chloroform in one hand and a roll of duct tape in the other. Some people don't seem to be able to use any logical or legal inference from a series of related facts when it comes to 1st degree murder and if there is one or more of those on the jury, it will be a problem for the prosecution. I'm glad the judge allowed the prosecution another day - plus they can now include the charge to the jury explanation with their rebuttal as I understand. That could be a real plus, unless there is a rogue juror. I know the prosecution case has convinced me is was premeditated murder once they had the testimony about the three pieces of duct tape in the area of where the nose and mouth would be. How likely is it that those pieces of duct tape - that might be from anywhere and anyone in that swampy woods, according to the defense, ended up attached to the hair on the skull and in the area right where a nose and mouth would be if any soft tissue were left? Big coincidence? And if not a coincidence, we all know why it was there and who was last with that child before she had duct tape on her. There is no evidence anyone else was with Caylee before she died except the mother. The prosecution has a witness, the grandfather, that places the child with her mother when last seen alive.
As to any lies by the grandfather about an "affair", remember when all the talking heads said that "everyone lies about sex" when Bill Clinton was caught lying to the Grand Jury? They said that lying about sex is done by everybody and it doesn't impeach everything else you do in life. Seems like almost everyone has forgotten that now that talks on TV! They want to hold George to a totally different standard than they did Bill.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how the prosecution closes tomorrow and then we will all see what happens! |
