are the DNA results back yet?

it seems we've been waiting forever.

^ The skull was found on Thursday and it's only Sunday.
Although DNA results on the remains probably won't be released for several days, authorities and even Anthony's own attorneys are treating the find as if it is the little girl.
One of Anthony's attorneys, Linda Kenney Baden, said during a court hearing last week that "anthropological measurements and hair color" of the remains were said to match Caylee. (foxnews) ^source cited above^

"Some think that Casey was using chloroform to try to make Caylee go to sleep so that she could go out and party. Any normal person would not even attempt something so dangerous. The theory is that she tried to get her to fall asleep, gave her too much...thus killing her. And then used the duct tape to make it look like someone had kidnapped and murdered her."

I think they ought to be able to tell whether the tape was applied before or after death (or maybe I've watched too many CSI-type shows); at least I hope so. While, unfortunately, Casey claiming that might generate reasonable doubt in some people's minds, the overall look of things (from the outside, as I realize none of us have all the evidence and/or statements) really points to the fact that she wanted that child gone and would have had no problem achieving that end herself.

She could have left the child at home. She had her grandparents right there. She could have given the child to foster care or let her mother take custody (if the grandmother would have wanted to). There were so many other options than to play roulette with a small child's life or to kill a small child for the sake of her party lifestyle. I hope that her lies and lack of remorse lead jurors to the correct conclusion (that she is a sociopath and should not be allowed into society again).

They are giving Casey way too much benefit of the doubt when they suggest that she killed Caylee accidentally. The computer confiscated from her home had internet searches for "neck breaking", "how to make chloroform", "shovel", "alcohol", "hydrogen peroxide", and "death". This was a couple months before Caylee disappeared so Casey had been planning it for a while. It's obvious she wanted Caylee gone permanently.

The defense is going to try to twist Casey's searches into an interest in CSI and Movies, since they have her on video renting movies at Blockbuster after Caylee disappeared renting movies about crimes.

All smoke and mirrors.

Waiting...sucks.

The only, very small, consolation in this is how hard it's going to be on Casey to be in jail with no cell phone, no shopping, no partying, none of her "Just want to have fun" lifestyle. I was going to say no boyfriends except I remembered that Scott Peterson is supposed to be writing to her. Disgusting isn't it?

Although I think she did kill her daughter and is a despicable person, the fact that people keep bringing up her searches as evidence against her makes me shudder to think what would happen to me if I was accused of a crime. I search for all sorts of stuff that could be taken in the wrong way, including fake purses, for research purposes.

I was looking up some info on how to protect myself identity theft the other day and came across a site offering a fake new identity, including SS number, new name and all. So if I happened to be arrested mistakenly for a crime tomorrow, I'm sure that the info would be brought up as evidence that I was trying to get away and change to a fake identity.

Not to mention that I watch the news and have an interest in true crime, I have searched "chloroform" myself and it does not make me a child killer.

I hear even the most hardened criminals aren't too keen on babykillers, either. There was a 17 yr old here, back in 1999 that got caught shoving her newborn into a garbage bag. She ended up doing some time, and I hear that the other prisoners made her life hell while she was there. ANd this wasn't even a hard-core jail.

^ I've heard that hardened criminals aren't keen on anything that pertains to people hurting children. Period.

The internet searches are just one of many incriminating things about Casey's behavior. Add them to her partying at clubs after Caylee disappeared, her apparent lack of concern for her daughter's whereabouts, her concealing Caylee's disappearance for a month, the evidence in the trunk of her car, and her mountains of contradicting lies, and you can see why she is sitting in a jail cell. Suspicious searches alone would not have been enough.

I've heard that, too, and that they hate rapists.

You know I was just thinking the same about the post how Denial is a mental illness.

I agree with you 100%

No, it doesn't...but was your kid missing for a month before someone else--not you--reported it?

I think it was the combination of suspicious searches, not just the one about chloroform, that tipped the Police. I mean, the computer shows searches on "missing children," "neck breaking," "how to make chloroform," "household weapons," "peroxide acetone alcohol death"...coincidence?
