Hey all. I'm trying to track down any online presence of Stephen McD. Does anyone know where his hometown is? I found one in Macon, and many others in GA. I'm trying to eliminate as many as possible as I wade through accounts on (for example) Twitter. I read through the provided links in the...

Unless he is awkward enough to just blurt that out, it may have been part of a larger statement if the police asked him about sexual activity. Given the rumor of found condoms especially, I could easily envision an investigator asking "So do you have any girlfriends or casual sexual partners?"...

I lived in Austin when Rachel went missing, and I was inspired by the strength and compassion of the Cooke family on behalf of all missing persons. I live in Taylor now, and still Rachel's disappearance haunts me. I think of it every time I go to Georgetown, which is often. This case has been...

http://www.statesman.com/news/local/slain-woman-remembered-for-her-kindness-and-love-1595428.html The article notes she was in an unhappy relationship, but doesn't say with whom. As far as I can tell, the police have announced no POI.

I learned that JB is going to be a reasonably good attorney in about 15 years. This was not his time. This was not his trial. I learned that HHJP is tired of playing "Mousetrap." I learned that JA's smile stops court, and it probably stops more than one heart. I learned that CM wears old...

I don't know how legal this is, but I would hope that if it's found to be an "imaginary problem," our dear HHJP will fine Mr. Baez for the amount of all costs associated with the period of delay. This may be food for the jurors, transportation of them and ICA, the pay of the deputies guarding...

I just learned that books tie one down to a particular room. :book:

I learned that ---> this <--- is sign language for "I'm not doing anything on the 4th of July. Any suggestions?" I also learned that TGI Friday's employees are pretty bad at math. ($15k/ann, monthly expenses $1.2k/mo, ~$700 magically appears for court fines?) Furthermore, I learned who Orange...

I saw this on the Daily Beast today. It may not be obvious, but I made some notes on it. I also learned that we grieve before we experience loss. I mean, if we're to believe Dr. Sally, the magical thinking and risk-taking behaviors exhibited by ICA before the death of Caylee are...

She only seemed to get upset when the topic was her. Her reputation, her past, her names, her role in the affair/non-affair. She was deflecting left and right, not answering direct questions about herself but instead going on defensive tirades. This indicates to me that she is afraid of the...

I learned that if I do my civic duty and report something suspicious, I will be barked at by police officers and then accused of conspiracy and obstruction of investigation. Then somewhere along the line I'll end up in court and my broken-down car will be mentioned. Oh! And I'll have to talk a...

My IRC peeps reading this better come armed with pertinent links to RK background in the morning. I'm going to be insane, trying to listen to RK's testimony, converse in IRC, watch/copy over Twitter, and write up my own notes on ICA's body language and reactions. Reckon I oughta start drinking...

HHJP has the Dessert Lady on his side. :)

I told this to the IRC channel, but I'll repeat it here: During this portion, I was in the back yard messing about with the garden and wearing headphones, listening to the audio of the court room. When JB asked this question, I squawked -- yes, squawked -- and started laughing hysterically...

I'm going to have to reset my two alarms on my phone for this. I have a "wake up & make coffee" alarm and a 30-minute warning before court begins. I'm probably more upset about this schedule than JB is.

I agree that this was a powerful moment. I believe the jury, right there witnessing it up-close, couldn't fail to be somehow impacted by it. The other persuasive testimony is that of Yuri, particularly the entire Universal scene. It is astonishing testimony, no matter if you believe the...
