Attorneys argue the law when it is on thir side and the facts when they favor their case. A good attroney can make a nothing fact a big issue. Baez tried that on several occassions. some folks have been hard on Judge Perry but I think he became very frustrated with Baez's not incompetenence but inexperience.
I have always taken court cases down to simple but relevant facts.
Who was the last person to see Caylee alive?
Who neglected to report Caylee missing for 31 dyas?
Who spent that 31 days not looking for her but partying, etc?
Who lied continually to Cindy and George anthony and the police and anyone else about Caylee's whereabouts?
Who abandoned the Pontiac leaving it with a foul smell that everyone concluded was human composition? etc, etc. etc.
the majority of murder cases are tried on circumstantial evidence.
There is one factor none of us know that is the most important and that is the make-up of this jury, their personality, etc.
While a trial is suppose to be about the truth it too often is sidetracked by a jury to wit the OJ Simpson trial.
all we can do is venture a guess as to how we believe the jury will vote.
I believe most of the jury members will give Casey the benefit of the doubt and conclude she unintentionally killed her daughter and hence she will not be convicted of capital murder
