Smug and self-righteous much?

Let me explain why I believe Casey was guilty and deserved a long prison sentence. (I don't believe in the death penalty.)

First, I am connecting various points of evidence to produce a picture of the crime that cannot be explained by anything else, other than Casey being guilty.

Second, I can discern the difference between the absence of any doubt vs. reasonable doubt.

Third, the reason there was no evidence connecting Casey to the place where Caylee was found is because the water and heat at that location destroyed all of the useful trace evidence. How convenient for Casey?

Here's what I think happened:

Casey, driven by a deep resentment of the responsibility of motherhood, carefully plotted to kill Caylee the day after Father's Day, 2008.

On that Monday, after George left for work around 2:30 PM, Casey sedated Caylee and placed the body in the playhouse in the backyard. At that time, she covered the mouth and nose of the child with duct tape and left her there. That's why the dogs alerted on the playhouse. This is also why there was so little evidence of "coffin flies" in the trunk of Casey's car.

(The play house sat next to the fence at the very back of the yard. George wouldn't return to the house until midnight and Cindy worked 9 hour days, so it was unlikely that they would even be in the backyard that night. That meant that Casey could feel confident that Caylee's body would lie undisturbed overnight.)

The next day, Casey backed the car into the garage that afternoon when she knew that both her parents would be at work, which the neighbor said was very odd in that she had never done that before. At this point, Casey retrieves Caylee's body from the playhouse, wraps it in plastic bags and a canvas laundry bag and then places it in the trunk. At which point some decomposition fluid leaks out of the bag onto the carpet of the trunk.

The neighbor then says that Casey borrowed his shovel, which was odd in that there were three shovels in Casey's parents' garage. I believe that she used that shovel in order to bury Caylee in a shallow grave at the wooded, swamp site. (The reason for using her neighbor's shovel may have been the size of the shovel. Or, she simply didn't want to answer any questions from her parents if they happened to find out that she had used a shovel from their garage.)

After burying Caylee, Casey returned to the house and then washed out the playhouse with a garden hose and wiped the residual decomposition fluid that had spilled in her trunk with paper towels. After which, she took a shower and dressed for her date that night.

This "grave" was flooded within a few weeks by Hurricane Faye. This destroyed any trace evidence and caused the body to float above the ground for awhile, further disturbing the remains.

From the day of the murder, Casey began to craft a number of lies as to her whereabouts and activities, designed to pacify her mother's curiosity. Ultimately, her mother's curiosity turned to worry and finally to desperation and panic, but Casey continued to lie, adjusting the details to her mother's questions.

On July 161h, when Casey's car was brought home from the tow yard, Cindy found the telephone number of Casey's friend, Amy, on a piece of paper in the car. Cindy called Amy who told Cindy that no, Casey was not in Jacksonville with a rich boyfriend as Casey had said, but instead Casey was shacking up with Tony there in town. At that point, Cindy goes to Tony's apartment, drags Casey home. When she found out that Caylee was missing, Cindy called 911.

At no point thereafter has Casey Anthony told the truth about what happened to Caylee -- even when she was arrested for lying to the police; although her parents were devastated; although thousands of people participated in the search for Caylee; even when she was arrested for stealing checks from her friend, Amy; and even when she was indicted for first degree murder. And all the while, Casey has adjusted the details of her lies to suit the circumstances.

At trial -- the jury did not see the difference between Casey "on" and Casey "off," meaning that when they were out of the room, Casey's mood would brighten, even when pictures of Caylee's remains were shown in court. In fact, sometimes, Casey was seen smiling and laughing.

In contrast, the jury saw a "sweet young thing" crying and sobbing -- and therefore, believed Casey's version of events, however preposterous, instead of the rest of the evidence. They collectively closed their minds, probably soon after the trial began.

And beyond that, they failed miserably in connecting the dots and even in their understanding of the difference between the absence of doubt and reasonable doubt.

So ... no, this has nothing to do with the media. This has to do with a grave miscarriage of justice.
