Casey Anthony Trial - "Imaginary" Defense Strategy?

Excerpt:

Yes, it's technically true that the defense isn't required to prove a single thing -- they don't even have to put on a case at all if they choose not to do so.

But like I said from the start, if the defense puts forth such a specific alternate theory, they better be able to sell it like hell to the jury and to BACK IT UP with evidence.

A huge problem is that the defense have painted themselves into a corner with the molestation claims. Unless a third party witnessed this molestation (or unless George suddenly recants his prior testimony and admits it), then Casey Anthony herself is the ONLY person who can testify about it in an attempt to prove it.

Casey Anthony's testifying about anything is an insurmountable problem. She will never be believed. Never. Not a single word.
