Well if the jury were to somehow believe that Casey chloroformed Caylee and taped her mouth to keep her from crying out while she partied and Casey suffocated or died from a chloroform overdose, they could still convict her of felony murder because Caylee died from Casey’s reckless endangerment of a child, which is felony murder and eligible for the death penalty.
And per Judge Perry’s instructions to the jury today, they need not all agree on whether it’s premeditated or felony murder to reach a guilty verdict.
