When this story first started to unfold, there were several reports that Casey had first wanted an abortion and then wanted to give the baby up for adoption -- her mother refused to let her. Her mother also refused to be the permanent guardian for the baby.

As I said previously, i don't KNOW that she is guilty, but I do think she is. If the facts are correct about forcing her to have and keep the baby, then I think the truly guilty party is the mother/grandmother. This is not a girl or woman who was in any way, shape or form ready to be a mother. She didn't want to be one. She had no clue how to be one. To force her to raise a child she didn't want was a disaster waiting to happen. It is easy enough to cross the line into child abuse when you love and cherish your child our of anger, fear or frustration -- imagine how easy it would be if your child is little more than inconvenience or something to show off on occasion. No one should force a woman to have and/or keep a child she doesn't want. It is a recipe for disaster.

I believe she did kill the baby, but it was an accident involving giving her too much medication. If she had admitted this in the beginning, she could have maybe gotton away with some level of manslaugter. Instead she has cost the legal system millions and possible death sentence.
