Did the judge instruct the jury that closing arguments aren't evidence and should not be considered as such? I can't remember and don't want to listen to it again. tyia

BBM - LOL I have reasonable doubt you know the M's are behind this. :thinking:
Also, IMO, the point is not "where" he lured, decoyed, inveigled her to, it is the fact that he did it, and now she is gone. It was his call to her saying that he wanted to be with her and was leaving his wife that persuaded her to leave her home, where she was safe.
I am thinking maybe a TK employee kept SM informed along the wayMaybe there is one of the tiny little nuggets of truth? Not necessarily her placing notes on his truck, but that she got a message to him somehow that said she really thought she was pregnant and needed to speak to him.

Yes! This seems to be very misunderstood. It doesn't matter what all else Heather did that night. She went out due to SM luring her out. Both of their vehicles traveled to PTL at the same time to meet up. Heather was never seen again. Sidney spent some effort at getting rid of potential evidence. Believe what you want, but under the law his actions happen to meet the legal definition of kidnapping.

... what trials are you folks following next?
For myself...I was looking at which of the cases I have followed whose trial is next.
I see Erin Corwin ( she was an alleged mistress who was thrown down a mineshaft) and Cooper Harris trials ( infant in Atlanta that was left in car at Home Depot), which BOTH I have followed for years, both start on September 12th!
But the million dollar question is...are the majority voting guilty trying to persuade the non-guilty voters or vice-versa?Well its Friday jury will come back with a verdict or hung by 5:30. Won't want to return Monday.

According to the timeline posted above
Heather is first at Long Beard's from 2:42 to 2:56 and tries calling the payphone 4 times before leaving Long Beard's , gets 3 minutes down the road and turns around to arrive back at LongBeard's at 3:02 . I think Heather saw Sidney driving towards Long Beards and turned around
There is a 10 minute gap between the time HE last calls the payphone while sitting at Long Beards and when she leaves Long Beards to drive back to her apt. During that 10 minutes she does not try to call the pay phone . I think Heather and Sidney were together at Long Beard's during this 10 minutes. Enough time for Sidney to try to convince her to take the pregnancy test home .
As soon as she leaves Long Beards she calls Sidney's cell phone and talks for 4 minutes Note she does not call the payphone number but calls Sidney's cell phone immediately after leaving Long Beard's . To decide where to meet after she takes the pregnancy test ?
She arrives back at her apt at 3:20 and the phone call with Sidney ends at 3:22 . She is at her apt from 3:20 to 3:25 . She has 3 minutes from the time her phone call ends with Sidney till she drives out of the apt area . Enough time to run inside her apartment , leaving her phone in the car... to get something or to take a pregnancy test ? She leaves her apt at 3:25 and heads to PTL arriving at 3:35 and tries to call Sidney's phone 4 times between 3:38 and 3:41 . Black truck seen on residence video heading towards PTL at 3:36 and away from PTL at 3:49

That just gave me a thought.I am thinking maybe a TK employee kept SM informed along the way
Closing arguments are not evidence, neither are opening statements and neither are the lawyers' questions. Only what the witnesses say and the evidence entered is considered evidence in a trial.
I appreciate your comments and believe much of it...but...from a man's perspective...I doubt he gave her the preg test to take home. If I went to all the efforts, calling mucho times, stopping at Wal Mart, etc, I will expect my pregnancy answers quickly and I want to see results with my own eyes. Who knows, maybe HE didnt want SM to see the negative results and that is where the night started down wrong path. I sort of think SM sprung the test on her and wanted a quick verifiable answer. I think i think SM was over the relationship and wanted to be free of HE but realized the ongoing drama if she was pregs. Either HE or someone else had SM thinking or almosting knowing HE was pregnant. Maybe she wasnt pregnant but using this as a bluff to maybe see SM again. Just guesses on my partAccording to the timeline posted above
