The impact of these factors can't be measured so they can also have a buffering effect.
Being less than middle class, and depicted as a loose party woman at that, can make her appear more of a potential killer; or, it can make her even more of a victim when it intersects with her history of sexual abuse. Those can both weigh on people's thoughts as they are deciding whether she is guilty or fully accountable for WHATEVER happened to Caylee.
