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.

... although, heaven knows, jurors sometimes do.
