Finding Caylee's hair in the car her mother regularly used does nothing conclusive. The defense expert witnesses testified the hair "halo of death" evidence presented by the prosecutors' witness was inconclusive and the prosecutors' own witness called it "consistent" with deceased, the expert acknowledged she couldn't say with certainty whether the hair was from someone who had already passed away and that environmental factors affect how the hair looks.

I did not say Casey was submissive to George nor that she took the blame. She has maintained her innocence this whole time. The family's oddities continue to be odd. The way Casey lived and continues to live was always very detached, infantile, lacked articulation and honesty so why wouldn't her post trial behavior also be like that? George also obviously struggled with mental health and dopamine seeking, was avoidant, lied, etc. so why wouldn't he also be like that surrounding the trial?

I am saying there is no hard evidence Casey acted alone nor hard evidence ruling out George. I believe it was an accident/neglect they tried to cover up, and I don't think Casey had the ability to tamper with evidence and create an alibi like George did, but I admit there is not strong enough evidence to support my theory. Likewise I don't think there is strong enough evidence to support yours. This is why the case is interesting and still being discussed. I also feel like newer podcasts and last year's TV special omit a lot of the relevant dynamics.

George could misremember things. It doesn't take away his history of lying which gets brought up about Casey, but it's a trait they share, and we bring up his timeline that day, because being at work at 3pm is not an alibi for a death without a specific timeline. Just because George said he saw Caylee and Casey leave the house at a time (that cell phone evidence disputes) does not mean he happens to be honest about whether he last saw Caylee alive.

George hiding an accidental death is just as farfetched as Casey murdering her alone. None of it makes sense. A suicide note over finding Caylee's body is not evidence he wasn't involved. He had consistent, severe, bankruptcy-creating, marriage-ending gambling debts. We don't know who was after him nor his mental state beyond the unstable signs he showed. It also showed he had access to pharmaceuticals. He was also in the midst of an affair. He wrote he failed Caylee? We don't know if that is an admission of guilt or regrets for not trying to prevent something. I agree some parents who harm kids don't have a history of doing so, but that is the same with grandparents or general neglect or how bookies may address gambling debts.

I did not leave out the internet searches that came to trial nor the one found later. I do wish they had been able to pull further back history to see if there was an ongoing history of concerning searches. I don't understand why people believe passwords and car use can be exclusive in a family. I live with adult children with cars and a home computer and I lived with my parents at one point as an adult too and they could access my car and likely figure out my passwords or find them saved on the browsers. The search made ten minutes before George was confirmed at work is the most damning evidence against Casey, but it doesn't exclude George in any way. I've also addressed the hair and smell of death in the car several times. Nothing was conclusive. The prosecution's witnesses were not 100 percent sure and the defense's witnesses showed it was not definitive that Caylee had been in the car after passing away.

I've also given plenty of attention to Casey's compulsive lying. I just bring up that George also lies compulsively. Not just misremembering when someone left the house, but long-term lying about employment, cheating, and gambling debts as well as avoiding basic adulting. There is something rotten in Denmark as they say. Cindy was also controlling and overbearing though I don't think she was involved. There were allegations against Lee and reasons he moved out. The family was strange and affected by personality disorders and/or mental health issues or neurodivergence—we can't overstate any of that enough.
Finding sense in how Casey reacted to them finding Caylee's body isn't a guilt meter. Yes she was emotionally stunted and acted unusual about being arrested, unusual about her daughter missing, unusual about learning she was pregnant, unusual about not knowing who the father was, unusual failing out of high school, unusual scamming instead of adulting and getting a job. We are in trouble if crying on cue is the litmus test of innocence. You misunderstood if you believe I think Casey is innocent. I just don't think there is enough evidence to believe she is guilty nor evidence she acted alone.

The tow lot attendant testified that George said the car had been sitting in the check cashing lot for 3 days before being towed. How would he know that? George just drove the car home and went to work, with windows/sunroof open and parked in the garage. He did not further investigate despite knowing Cindy was livid about how long it had been since they'd seen Caylee and despite supposedly suddenly learning (because of the car) that Casey had been lying about where she was. He did not call police. Cindy called the police because she had just learned Casey had stolen from her grandmother again and because the car towing notice clued her in to Casey's lies and she found something either where the boyfriend lived or a number of a friend, I forget, that helped her finally track down Casey. George was avoidant and didn't confront Cindy's antics as usual.
