Today the trial began for a mother accused of killing her 2 year old daughter. For whatever reason there has been a lot of media attention surrounding this case and of course lots of speculation and rumors.

During opening arguments the defense attorney told the jury that this mother didn’t kill her daughter, but that the child drowned in the family pool and that she hid the body because no one would believe it was an accident and they would throw her in jail. The defense also mentioned other issues like mother being sexually abused by her father and painted a picture of a very disturbed house. Not pleasant.

The little girl’s remains were found with duct tape wrapped around her head and there has been a claim by the prosecution that her body was stored in the back of a car before being disposed of. This is where I’m throwing up on myself. Your child drowns and you duct tape her head and dump her in the yard? Are you kidding me? I’m throwing up because it’s so horrific to even imagine, but also because the defense thinks anyone in their right mind would believe it. 

While they are at it why not claim the child was murdered by aliens or a government conspiracy?  A two year old child being murdered is bad enough, but to have an attorney get up and there and say she drowned is sick. Did the little girl wrap the duct tape around her head before she jumped in the pool?

Give me a break, and a barf bag.
