Casey’s Motive For Murder
In their opening statement, the prosecutors claimed Casey murdered her child by using chloroform to make her unconscious. In their point of view, Casey put duct tape over Caylee’s nose and mouth to suffocate her before putting the body in the trunk of her car. She was left in the vehicle for several days before being removed. As for motive, prosecutors portrayed Casey as a party girl who felt tied down by her toddler and wanted to escape being a mother. She didn’t want to take on parental responsibilities so she did the only thing she could; she made her little girl disappear.
