Nancy Grace has Leonard Padilla On Right Now

He seems about as smart as she is. At least Leonard now realizes Casey Anthony is guilty. Something everyone else figured out about 2 months ago.

2 mins of Nancy Grace is better than Ipecac

Where is the indictment - not to mention the conviction? Months roll past and rumors of DNA, air samples, jailhouse tapes/videos, Mark Fuhrman, drained ponds and the vaunted FBI have yielded what exactly? Nada, zilch, zero, nunca, empty set. No body, no witnesses, no murder weapon and no case.

OK, she has slept with everybody in a uniform, is terrific at Beer Hunter, too busy to really work at Universal Studios, stole some checks and would make a perfectly awful babysitter. But come on, you can't tell me that this young, frequently hung over and erratic chick committed the perfect crime. I am not buying the official Unabomber meets Lindsay Lohan angle here.

So now they bring her back in for violating the local thong above the waistband ordinance. OK - great. Now what?

What she hasn't done (and will never do) is confess - and that is the real story here it would seem. What this story highlights is how much the police rely on the confession to avoid the "hassles" of police work. Remember OJ? Remember John and Patsy? How many cases are "solved" via confession? How many by a bogus confession?

It's almost October and soon the leaves will be turning and the days growing shorter. Every day that passes the case grows colder, she looks more and more like a free woman.

Stay tuned......

I have no doubt that she's guilty. She may be a moron, but yes, I believe she did kill her daughter then disposed of the body during the FIVE weeks she was snowing her family over the whereabouts of her daughter. Is that the perfect crime? I doubt it, but I also doubt they'll find the body without a confession. It's probably buried in the swamps of Florida somewhere or dumped in the ocean.

Just listen to her interview tapes and hear her come up with these crazily detailed lies, then get caught in them, then admit that she was lying (like telling cops that she worked at Universal Studios, taking them there, then admitting she didn't work there). But it was more than that. For example she came up with some crazy story about how she lost her cell phone, and talks about how she changed out the simcard at her desk at Universal. That all was a lie. Her reason for not calling the police when the baby sitter ran off with her daughter? She was embarrassed. Just listen..She's a compulsive liar.

Oh, she is most definitely guilty - the key is whether the police can get a conviction. We are now 90 days down the road. Evidence is fading away day by day and the police clearly don't have enough to even charge her yet - let alone win at trial. No witnesses are coming forward and the police seem completely stumped.

My point is that it is all a bit too formulaic these days. It's basically either a quick confession or DNA or a cold case - that's it. The show The First 48 is unintentionally instructive. Basically, if they don't get some coerced confession in the first 48 hours of a case, the odds swing wildly in favor of the defendant.

Here, DNA is somewhat less helpful since the victim is known to the defendant and their DNA would be expected to be associated with the defendant. So, we are left with a confession that is not going to happen. It seems clear that the police tried to offer some BS deal - perhaps a negligent homicide, with some bogus threat of it being a "one-time offer." When she didn't bite, the police started looking really silly, really fast.

We go another 30 days and the odds are wildly in her favor of never being charged at all.
