[dog.gone.cute]

JA's voice is very soft and calm with GA.

Great move on the part of the JA and the SA Team ...

 

[Red Sox Fan]

Woohoo HLN is continueing the trial with closed captions. Goodbye TruTV! Chiquita71, you can sit back and enjoy the show if you wish! Thanks Chiquita71

 

[nomoresorrow]

Keep in mind... IF George & Cindy held out any amount of hope that it really was an accident, any hope is now dashed and they are certain (if anything) that Casey is responsible for Caylee's death, since they have now heard her defense. Obviously if GA wasn't involved and they know this is all a bunch of lies, they know Casey is a killer.

 

[Turnadot]

I have to beg to differ. Don't be gentle with GA. Why? So he doesn't have to admit the truth? If he's telling the truth, it will hold up. I feel that for certain.

If JA is mean with GA, the jury will dislike him for it.

 

[watchinginky]

Lots of peeps here today....1121...wow!!

 

[Mendara]

Ga pretending he doesn't know jesse grund.

 

[Kenziema]

OMG, he looks like such a proud pop-pop

 

[KaylynnCouture]

George says they went to Caseys doctors appointments and ultrasounds, was very excited about the pregnancy, etc.

 

[atthelake]

For those that don't have a live feed, JA questioning him, and now discussing how learned how KC was pregnant. Upon first hearing, he was excited about it. ICA is just giving him quick glances. GA is doing a GREAT job in his deameanor right now. No combative seen underlying. He's just being matter of fact. He talks about making KC's life as easy as posssible for the grandchild. He's smiling when he talks about going to the ultrasound. He's doing a great job..Go George.

 

[concentric]

What side is George going to take? Or he is going to be neutral? That is the third option.

 

[gitana1]

I don't think the SA will be addressing many of JB's wild statements. They don't really have to. The have an actual case to prove.

GA again going with the first thought was he was extremely excited about Casey's pregnancy. No way do I believe this was his reaction.

I disagree. He will absolutely address the nonsense, today.

 

[Kentjbkent]

For those without video access GA seems very calm and has a great demeanor with the prosecution. He is smiling and acting very good. This is the best act that GA has put on so far.

His demeanor right now reminds me of his demeanor during those initial LE interviews...

 

[Pebbles1968]

I missed the bombshell because I was counseling an old friend on how to get her daughter and grandchild out of an abusive relationship..The daughter is 25 and the child is 2... The thing I kept telling her is She must be the advocate for the child because the other 2 are adults and will do as they please..Please Please someone advocate for Caylee... I can not watch anymore of the trial. I start my internship with a local Family Services unit tomorrow.. and I think I am glad... I will get my updates from you all.. Caylee is at peace and CA needs to be in prison along with her father, mother and brother.. JMOO..

 

[katydid23]

He went to the ULTRASOUND. I guess he was not too afraid of being accused of being the father then...

 

[KaylynnCouture]

I think he's going to deny the sexual abuse.

 

[pcap]

George is doing so well. Thank you, George. (And I'm so sorry that I used to despise you.)

 

[suzihawk]

Who is this GA? Not the combative guy I've seen before.

I pray he makes me change my mind about everything I feel about him. I'm more than willing to eat major crow if I'm wrong.

 

[ScubaTwinn]

What did he bring up with him? It looked like two things...the bible and I suspect one is a photo of Caylee; and if that is the case, I hope it means he is stopping that bus!

I agree, one looks like a picture. YOu can barely see the top of it above the court clerk's head.
