This needs to change.And it’s crazy to think that even if found guilty on all charges she’ll most likely still be “free” pending years of appeals.

I think she was following Mama T's advice all the way.I guess it makes sense if you really are innocent. But then - don't lie, take the stand, give your phone, tell everything you know! was she just so deep in that she could not see her way to cutting a deal, she was simply not willing to lose face that way, no matter the cost? she and FD seem equally matched and stubborn that way-- FD offing himself rather than going back into the orange jumpsuit for even one more minute (and, as he must have known, to ultimately be shown guilty as charged), and MT choosing this foolish path so she can protest her innocence forever and ever. Nether could actually face what they did. MT was up to her eyeballs, not just an accessory. MOO. Also reminds me of Amanda Knox case, I think she was in deep, too deep to come clean - MOO.
I think when the jury foreperson stands up to render the verdict, she’ll just casually pick up her cell phone as if she’s not paying attention.Wonder how MT will react when the verdicts are read. I'm predicting a bit of drama from her.
What do you guys think? Will she be stoic or angry?
Lucegirl your description of mt is hauntingly beautiful. It reminds me of a character in a book I read quite a long time ago, The Night Circus. She’s almost untouchable, ghost-like. Vapor.I can’t say that I have ever seen the “invisible” defendant strategy deployed in this manner. Typically it’s the the Librarian facade.
This beige thing is creepy AF. It’s like a ghost on trial. There is no one to hate or blame. There is no one for the jury to cast their eyes upon for a reaction. The D table is several shades of griege. There is no one to convict. It’s a trial about a dead man who killed his wife and maybe had an imaginary accomplice that is just vapor. She is mute, invisible, unaccountable, inert, nonhuman, indistinguishable from counsel, the wall, the table, the floor. Who is on trial? She wouldn’t even set off a motion detector or Ring camera.
I thought the State confronted “the report” head on - bringing up Bipolar the roundabout way they did (attributing it to D’s characterization and animus to Jennifer). “Okay - so the inadmissible report may have said the victim may have been bipolar - what does this have to do with the price of tea in China?” “And nothing changed in so far as supervised custody and no MT/Daughter presence. So why are they ‘happy’?” There is just no “there there”.
She may not fully comprehend the gravity of contempt - not because of language barrier - but just the “I’m untouchable” mindset. FD did it. I knew nothing. Why should I be concerned if I have a document on my screen. What will this judge really do to me. My family is here in court. They will protect me from the mean judge.
I think her head is full of delusions of grandeur that prevent her from acting in a way that shows she understands the consequences she f what is happening. Not because she isn’t competent in the legal sense - but because of her self-entitlement.
And she was never concerned or even curious as to where fd was, even tho his car and phone was there? PuhleezThe Atty McGuiness slide presentation of the 'coincidences' or Not for the Defendant I thought was a powerful tool to get the Jury focused on whether the Defence claim of MT 'knowing nothing and being the stupid girlfriend' is plausible OR NOT.
I think the most powerful of these "coincidences' is the Phone Manipulation which @lucegirl did the wonderful post clearly explaining how MT was babysitting the FD phone as FD was in NC murdering JF. That post I thought made crystal clear how yet again FD and MT were moving 'in sync' with their plan and just how very clearly MT understood her role on the Murder Date. MT at no point balked or complained about anything she was doing even when she was making the 5 or so trip back and forth as part of the Car Parade between 80MS and 4Jx where she was burning items on a hot spring day over Memorial Day weekend. MOO

Yeah, I don’t get that at all. I guess I’ve just been out of the loop for too long. First it’s only six jurors, who had prior knowledge of the case,This needs to change.
She’s the only one carrying an umbrella…can’t get her hair wet.
