Here's my opinion, which some people may not like, but this is an open forum where I think we all should be able to express our thoughts and opinions.
I watched about 9 hours of the trial and have been following the case for the past 2 years.
I think Michael McCarthy killed her and I do not think Rachelle Bond should be be given any type of homicide charge because I do not think she helped kill her or that she was able to foresee that he was going to kill her. Michael McCarthy had been into learning about demonology for years, and whether or not he believed Bella was a demon, I think he killed her out of resentment that he had to help take care of her and that he couldn't be the center of attention in Rachelle's life. His text messages show how controlling he was. I don't believe a lot of Rachelle's testimony though as a witness, the defense attorney did a pretty good job of revealing her lying problem. Just because she's a lying, selfish individual who is addicted to drugs does not make her a killer though. I do believe she loved her baby and wanted the best for her, but she was just a bad parent (for a number of years...to multiple children), plain and simple. She let friends who were homeless live there rather than putting her daughter first, she moved in three of her boyfriends during Bella's lifetime (although she did kick one out within one day after she found out he was attempting to potty-train Bella), and she relapsed back into heroin after being sober for a long time. I think she didn't report the killing because of her desire to keep using heroin and because she believed the murder was going to be blamed on her. I'm glad they charged her with disposing of her child but I don't believe she killed Bella.
