But, there has got to be more here than meets the eye.

If the mother/daughter relationship was all that Cindy would have everyone believe, why would Casey not just go away to do as she pleased (she was an adult according to Cindy) and leave Caylee with her parents? As long as she was with her grandparents, it couldn't be child abandonment, could it? She certainly could have had the freedom to do as she pleased that way. Her friend, Amy, testified to Casey and her mother's frequent arguing. Why does her mother say one minute that Casey was a great mom, and yet her friend says her mother called her unfit and threatened to take Caylee away from her? How can it be both ways? Were Cindy's threats just another control tool?

No doubt, Casey was/is very self-serving. As much as Cindy obviously loved Caylee, she is much the same. Seems to me, they used each other with the baby caught in the middle. She even said on the stand that she and Casey are very much alike.

If there was a problem with her dad (as the defense came out with in the beginning of the trial), could it be that Casey's seeming distain/hatred for her mother stems from her mother maybe knowing about it and not doing anything about it or ignoring it?

Why did George report the gas cans theft right away, but not the smell of death coming from his daughter's car if he really thought they were both missing?

At the beginning of today's coverage, it was pointed out (by the media) that because Baez was making the objections on direct, he is the one required to cross-examine. With Mason being the more experienced, why does he not make the objections instead of coaching Baez on what objection to raise? The analysts seem to think that Mason would be more effective. Is their plan just to count on an appeal?

Too many questions, too few answers.
