2011.05.17 Jury Selection DAY EIGHT (Afternoon Session)

[Drama Queen]

This lady sounds like my grandmother did. I listen to her and think of my Nana. She had to make a similar decision regarding my Poppy.
I think she will be a good juror because she has needed to be very thoughtful around a very difficult circumstance.
She sounds like a real good woman.
MOO

 

[Shyla]

Vinnie on HLN is doing a good job trying to help us keep track of the jurors that are struck and the ones that are left.

I fell in love with him during Scott Peterson's trial

 

[NocturnalLady]

I think I could recite AF's questions for her at this point too. Good thing she is the only one on the DT that doesn't get on my nerves!

 

[luvmy4brats]

I like this juror. In my mind she is a small grandmotherly type. When she walked in, I noticed a couple of people in the audience got an involuntary smile just looking at her. Would love to know if I'm right! Where's Jim Lichtenstein when ya need him?

He said dolly Parton before she got any work done.... Big hair and bright red blouse.

 

[sleutherontheside]

do you think when this is all said and done and over with that all the lawyers will hang at a bar tossing back a few, laughing and carrying on ala st. Elmo's fire?

yes i do

My next fondest hope is that on the first day of trial, the state begins their opening statement with a slide presentation of pictures of Caylee and ends the slide presentation with the last known video of Caylee singing "You Ar My Sunshine" to her great-grandpa. And then goes into their opening statement stating that this is what this trial is all about, a beautiful 2-year-old girl who was murdered.

I sincerely hope not.

With respect to Caylee (and I would be the last person to dispute that her death is nothing less then terrible), ICA is entitled to a fair trial (I would churn out the usual thing about a trial not being about the victim per se but to determine whether or not that the State has proved the Defendant is Guilty of the crime charged.

Unfortunately, as emotional as we all can be about Caylee (and she was an adorable child) the cold, hard truth is that Caylee's cuteness, her pretty face, her life, the way she would make those around her smile is not at all relevant to the guilt of ICA or anything to do with her death.

For the Penalty phase, however, that could well be relevant.

 

[NocturnalLady]

I'll tell ya...even though AF has recited this same line of questioning 3,547,932 times.....she sounds sincere each and every time.

ITA - she is the one good thing Casey has going for her.

 

[nursebeeme]

I thought he was the coastguard guy? This jury selection process has addled my brain.

baseball guy IS coastguard guy LOL (no I do not have a photographic memory I have notes LOL)

 

[Amil]

I'm getting the sniffles just listening to AF.

My next fondest hope is that on the first day of trial, the state begins their opening statement with a slide presentation of pictures of Caylee and ends the slide presentation with the last known video of Caylee singing "You Ar My Sunshine" to her great-grandpa. And then goes into their opening statement stating that this is what this trial is all about, a beautiful 2-year-old girl who was murdered.

I don't see how anyone cannot deny this prescious little girl of justice and I find it hard to believe that the state can prove that Casey was not involved.
If she does not cry sincerely she is doomed and for some reason I don't think she will because she is a narcistic sociopath which I must admit is sad but does not in any way excuse what she has done.

Do you think when this is all said and done and over with that all the lawyers will hang at a bar tossing back a few, laughing and carrying on ala St. Elmo's Fire?

My dad always went out and drank and ate with the prosecutors after trials. He said it was important to keep on good terms with them. They also gave him lost of referrals for business believe it or not. lol [ if you needed a lawyer and you had a friend in the prosecutors office, wouldnt you want their advice?]

 

[Lera213]

George just said aight

 

[nursebeeme]

she has been married 3x and all of them died and she is engaged

 

[uklaw]

Anyone get a screenshot of ICA's face there? I just switched to it.

 

[NocturnalLady]

Lady just said that she has been married three times. All husbands passed away. Casey thinks it's very funny.

 

[TotallyObsessed]

I didn't touch it. I wanted to, But I didn't. :crazy:

I have purposely flattened my emotions today....don't ever want to go back to yesterday EVER :floorlaugh:

 

[Lera213]

[justthinkin]
