She no doubt "blocked out" what had happened. Not healthy coping skills but I think she's had mental issues since childhood (that were not acknowledged or treated by the family). AGAIN, her own mother had said in a deposition that Casey had a SEIZURE and Jesse Grund took her to the hospital. Why? Why didn't her parents take her? What was the reason for the seizure? She had told friends she felt she was going insane. A lot never came out during trial. At first I thought Jose's defense was very discombobulated and all those interruptions........but in the end, I realized he had cleverly planted the thought of doubt. The jurors were going by the law.
Just maybe, the trial itself and listening to all the "stuff" will straighten her out but I hope she does get some type of counseling. The thoughts of her dead child will haunt her for an eternity.

One of the things that got my attention is that the Anthonys slithered out of the courtroom after the verdict without even glancing at Casey. In most capital cases where the parents are present, they rush up to give the defendant a big hug.

I know they are afraid of being mobbed and probably afraid for their lives, but it's hard to believe you could see your daughter sobbing and weak in the knees and not want to touch her. Did Mom and Pop believe that the verdict was wrong?
