I knew the grandparents were in this.
One question, and probably a stupid one, but why can't Casey get the maximum death penalty? I heard that the maximum sentence for her is life in prison. I'm not for the death penalty, but I just want to know.

There was a plea on the table, and I've heard both that it can be taken off, and that it can't.

I'm no expert on criminal procedure, but I believe a plea (and plea agreement, for that matter), can be withdrawn until it is accepted by the court.

You know, at first I thought there might be a plea, but then I remembered of all of the lies Casey has told and all of the goose-chases there have been. Why on earth would the prosecutors believe anything she would say in order to avoid the death penalty?

Maybe cause the case isn't 100% solid. The fact that the police were notified at least 3 times that Caylee's body was found (although they didnt know it was a body at the time) before they "investigated" isn't good. Plus they really can't prove what exactly happened to Caylee---there isn't any damage to the bones.
The plea bargain might be the only way they'll be able to convict Casey.

From what I have heard on the local news coupled with some understanding of Florida law, I don't think they could give the death penalty without a body. Now thats not a problem.......This sickens me so much......
They also have to determine if it was pre-meditated.
