If you were Jeff Ashton, how would you win the Casey Anthony case?

I think his mistake was to attempt to get pre-meditated murder.

The facts are, there is Caylee's corpse and the very suspicious behavior of Casey, and the lack of another suspect.

The stuff about Casey deciding to kill Caylee because she was too much trouble is from the prosecutor's imagination. The jury thought his theory was a lie, which created reasonable doubt.

MY theory is that Casey was a speed freak, and what started as a spanking went too far and Caylee died.

I'll bet my theory makes more sense than Ashton's and so does your's.

    With evidence, which he didn't have. Bad behavior and heresay, is not evidence. A jury of her peers reviewed the evidence or lack thereof, and did what any intelligent jury would have done. They found her not guilty. It is done and over with and there is nothing any one can do about it now. Unless, of course they find it actually was someone else who was in little Caley's death.

    Your theory is the most believable. Nobody here will even try to think up a better one than you have.

    you have given us a real explanation for Casey's behavior. After you become addicted to amphetamines and have been taking large doses for a long time you will get really crazy.

    Normal mothers acquire a more mature and responsible personality by the time of birth, and would not kill their baby. A speed freak might if they get really mad. Meth amplifies hostility.

    A normal murderer would have buried the body far away where nobody would ever find it. A speed freak who was really enraged would put the body in a garbage bag and take it to the dump, as a way of showing the victim was a piece of garbage.

    Normal people would think that Cindy was going to keep asking what happened to her granddaughter unless she actually saw Caylee. A speed freak has so much optimism that she would think that she was such a good liar that she could keep it up, until Cindy forgot about it and left her alone.

    A normal mother who's baby died would be depressed. A speed freak would take some more meth and be ready to party!

    Casey demonstrated exactly how Caylee was too much trouble. Knocking her out with chloroform was because she was too much trouble to tend to. It could have started as a beating, but Casey knew chloroform was the easiest and fastest way to knock Caylee out. She could wipe her hands of Caylee for a good 24, 48, hours and eventually forever.

    She had her day in court an was found not guilty, so leave her alone.
