I don't want to believe she did. I've been kinda following this story on the fringes & it's just incomprehensible to me that she killed her beautiful little girl, and for what? I'm not getting it. She's young, gorgeous & had her whole life ahead of her. When you see pics of the two of them together it looks like Casey really loved Caylee.

Such a strange & crazy world. What do you guys think?
 
Absolutely yes

No doubt in my mind that she did it. I thought so from the very beginning.
 
Laura..I was going to post about this today. I've been looking in on the case every few days on Nancy Grace. I was so relieved to see that they've finally charged her with first degree murder. It's incomprehensible to believe that she would kill her beautiful little girl but I do think that she did it. Hopefully now reality is settling in and she will finally start speaking the truth about what really happened.
 
She did it alright. Just like Susan Smith killed her two little boys, being a mother doesn't make you a Mom.

I'm thinking Casey's going to end up doing an insanity defense, like maybe she's bi-polor or something. Not that I think she is, but I bet that's where this case is going.
 
I was under the impression

that there was no body? And in the video footage of her shopping she looks like she is in shock. People do weird stuff when they are in shock, usually something that seems normal. Is there other evidence?

I hope that the little girl is found. I worry that she was sold.
 
The fact that she didn't call the police the minute her little girl was missing is incomprehensible. She said she was afraid - afraid of what? As sad as it is - I think she absolutely guilt. Like the old phrase - If it walks like a duck......
 
You know, as incredibly evil as Susan Smith was, she justified killing her children for a man (not that this is a legit justification of course, but in her twisted mind it was a reason). From what I can tell Casey doesn't have a reason. Even if poor Caylee was cramping her social life, her mother seems to be a very caring & competent woman who I'm sure would be more than willing to take over the care of her granddaughter.

I really just don't get it! :confused:
 
I have watched all Nancy Grace shows on this.

I agree without a shadow of a doubt she did something! I wouldn't put it past her to have sold Caylee. I would think you would just admit that instead of facing murder charges and death penalty so I rule that out.

If there was an accident I would think anyone would call for help immediately. So I rule out an accident.

I pray her parents do not know anything because I will say this if I did something to harm a hair on my childrens head my mom would be the first to execute me. No way a grandparent could sit by and not want justice for an innocent, beautiful life.

So in my mind that only leaves murder! Oh and whats with all the tears now "You got caught!
 
Yup.

I think she did it. Most likely it was not premeditated, but I think she caused her daughter's death and then tried to hide the fact.

She is very unlikely to get off on an insanity defense -- juries just don't buy it. And I don't think that having bipolar disorder (even if she does) qualifies you as being insane in a legal sense.

And she can be charged even without a body. There was a fairly famous case in the town where I lived. The husband was convicted of murder, even though they were unable to find the body.

I think things would have turned out much better for her if she'd just 'fessed up early on.
 
I think the police were just waiting to be sure they had enough evidence to get a conviction, as she was obviously the main suspect from the beginning.
This doesn't make any twisted sense at all, so it will be interesting to see what comes out as a motive here.
It makes me sick thinking of it, to be honest.
But just because you have a child doesn't make you a good parent.
 
IIRC

didn't reports state that the babies DNA in a state of decomposition was found in the trunk of Caseys car?
Wouldn't that preclude the need for a body for a murder charge?

I believe the grandparents are without a doubt innocent and devastated, but I can't help but think they may know a little more about what happened now than when they made the first call to 911.

Man, my heart sure goes out to that family, mainly Caseys parents and etc. I cannot even imagine if it were one of my daughters and granbabe.
 
The grandma reported the smell of death in her car when she called to report her missing - of course now she is recanting some one that - but that said enough for me...

I beleive she is 100% guilty - and if it was an accident and she was scared - then she should have said something when it happened instead of concocting this total bull story that has fallen apart at every turn...

Very sad...
 
If you don't call for help the minute your child is MISSING, you are guilty.
If you go shopping while your child is MISSING, you are guilty
If you have no idea where your 3 year old is for more than 2 minutes, you are guilty.
If your MOTHER calls 911 for any reason about your 3 year old who is not with you, YOU ARE GUILTY!!!!!!
elliemom
 
I think she did it. Why did she have to tell so many lies and make the detectives go on a wild goose chase? They also said she was in a wooded area near the Orlando Airport where they actually found a little girls dress that is similar to one Caylee wore in the same size. They are doing tests on it.
I think she wanted to be free and not have the "little snot head" around. That's what she called Caylee. I heard that Casey felt that her mom paid more attention to Caylee than to her.
Whatever the deal is with Casey that girl has some major issues. Stealing checks from your best friend and wiping out her checking account(nice friend). Does she believe she is above the law and wouldn't get in trouble for that?

Remember way back when nobody believed a woman would kill her own children, for narcissistic reasons (as opposed to real mental illness)? Then Susan Smith happened? I remember my mom and I discussing Susan Smith, who stated some mysterious "black man" kidnapped her sons. I remember my mom saying "There's something funny about all that." I hadn't really been paying attention so I asked what she meant and she said "There's no way a black man is going to kidnap white children... What's he going to do with them? He'd stick out like a sore thumb... (meaning he'd have been spotted and turned in by then)." And I remember saying "I think she's protecting either the ex-husband or the boyfriend" because I would never have dreamed. Then it all came out that the boyfriend didn't want to date a single mother so she trapped her young sons in a car and watched them fight for their lives as the car sank into the lake. Good God. Ever since then, the mom is the first person I look at. I see shades of the Susan Smith brand of narcissism at work here... the whole I-just-want-to-be-free-so-I-can-go-dancing mindset. However, Nancy Grace blathers on and on endlessly about this every night on CNN and I really feel that, until prosecutors have enough concrete evidence to take this case to trial and actually have a prayer of winning they're all just supposing and whipping up the public for what may be nothing (I know she probably did it but we are supposed to be innocent until PROVEN guilty...). Also, these aren't the only missing kids probably killed by parents, relatives or "friends." Why do we never hear about them?

If anything good ever came from the whole Susan Smith nightmare it's that, now, law enforcement looks hard at the people closest to missing children first. Kind of like when pregnant women end up dead. Nobody used to believe a man would kill his pregnant wife/girlfriend but, thanks to Scott Peterson and Ray Caruth, we now know the number one killer of pregnant women is the father of the baby. They've all made finding out who really did it a lot easier.

I think sadly, yes, she did it. I suspect it was an accident though. The chloroform theory (that she attempted to drug the child so she (Mom) could go out and party) makes a lot of sense, and it fits with the evidence found so far.

According to pathologist Michael Baden, this isn't uncommon. Parents only seek to knock the kid out (not unlike using too much OTC Benadryl), but dosing the stuff appropriately is very difficult. Caylee was so little ~ it probably didn't take much to kill her.
 
I suppose I wouldn't be quite as horrified if it was an accident, although it's still pretty heinous to drug your kid so you can go out & party. :mad:

I'd be uber horrified if she were sold. I still can't get over that theory..........:confused:
