2011.05.27 TRIAL Day Four (Afternoon Session)

[Intermezzo]

GA left courtroom with his lawyer

Hopefully they can find a legal avenue to force Baez to stop these accusations....
Calling Morgan and Morgan...

 

[EGirl]

So whats your prediction on what that secret was. In case It dont get entered into court as fact

He told the secret yesterday on the stand without the jury present

 

[lib's mom]

AL should have brought his tables and discs. He's got the microphones right there. He could have spun and DJed during the sidebars.

 

[DairyGirl]

Impressions are DT may have scored points with the jury that round with GA according to a few in the courtroom.

How could he score points for bullying a bereaved grandfather with an idiot theory that was shot down with one hypothetical question from the SA?

 

[jon_burrows]

I hear where you are coming from, but and I can only speculate here of the following reasons (not in the order of importance and off the top of my head here! ;-)) :

They were worried about the financial cost of the car in the car lot.

Cindy had had some contact with ICA over that month, so at least they knew ICA was about. Perhaps, he genuinely believed that ICA was angry with the family and spiteful enough to prevent them from seeing Caylee.

If they got the car back home ICA would effectively be without a car so it might force her to return home.


Not all people are suspicious as us!

Perhaps he just tried to put the smell out of his mind, tell himself that it was the rubbish. People try to avoid facing the truth.

IMO it could be a combination of the above factors.

But personally, faced with that situation I would have probably rung LE.

ETA: And of course: Perhaps he thought ICA had been invovled in some way and wanted to see her first or protect her so that's why he didn't ring.

He was a former detective and knows the distinct smell of death. That puts him in a different light than your average Joe. He knew a dead body had been in that car.

IMO

I think that the im message from casey the next am says...if they don'y find Caylee guess who spins an eternity in jail something like that

:maddening:

 

[ohiogirl]

Thanks for the company today, sleuthers. Later, and press on regardless.

 

[katydid23]

I agree. I feel horrible for George, but the obfuscation makes him seem like he's hiding something. As a former detective, he knows the smell of human decomp and had not heard from his daughter and granddaughter, yet he drove the car home. Even if the trunk was empty, so what?

Can't find daughter or granddaughter; car has been towed; smells like human decomp.

I would have called 911 right there at Amscot.

I don't know, part of me thinks GA's combativeness and obfuscation is casting reasonable doubt as to KC's guilt.

Cindy had been having pretty constant contact with Casey by phone and by texting. So he was not instantly going to assume she or Caylee were dead.
They went and found Casey that very day and called 911. So he did not ignore the situation at all.

 

[Coldpizza]

I loooove me some JA. Sunk JB!

Thwarted again! (eta for those who are drinking lol)

Can I add you to my friends list! lol

 

[EGirl]

Where is Casey? Did she not come back this afternoon?

she's there

 

[3doglady]

Tl looks like "How the heck did I get into this?"

 

[UESwifey]

Anyone have a link to the IM chats (I don't remember seeing them) TIA!

ETA Nevermind - HLN just said they haven't been released yet.

 

[sarag]

JB trying to find an excuse to object. I have a feeling there's something not good in those instant messages.

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

Never been so happy for a sidebar in my life

and this stuff is coming in....

 

[Eidetic]

So whats your prediction on what that secret was. In case It dont get entered into court as fact

No prediction, I heard it. The secret she told Tony was that LA "tried to feel her up" but, "she said it didn't happen". So he never actually touched her according to TL- according to ICA.

[Intermezzo]

Baez getting snippy with the Judge...
JBP he is talking Back to you..

 

[ebedeeb]

sidebartender, I need a refresher

 

[logicalgirl]

What is with the DT always chuckling away at the sidebar? If I was on the jury I would be ticked about that.

 

[mitzi]

How did JA crush JB's redirect? I totally missed that.
