absolutely not

HHJP: received into evidence
 
I love LDB. She does such a great job. And JB doesn't object nearly as much to her. :angel:
 
Casey showing no emotion, may mean she knows her mother is going to tell the TRUTH!
 
Is Casey being told to show emotion? Is that what the whispers are all about?

Do you mean like this?

I imagine CM saying something along the lines:
"Now, cry now!", "The jury is looking at you, wipe your eyes."
 
:welcome:

Glad you joined us!!! And yes, this is tearing at my heart too! Can you believe KC isn't even tearing up whatsoever? Cuz it's not about HER, huh?

:maddening:

I'm wondering if the DT will use KC's non-reaction to her mother's tears as further proof of the alleged sexual abuse. IOW, Cindy didn't protect her and KC resents or just plain dismisses Cindy and her feelings.
 
Listen to Tony's voice.....he is still destroyed over this. He says the conversation wasn't going anywhere.

I spent the better part of Thursday with him. He isn't destroyed over this at all. He just wants to get back to NYC.
 
HuH..Grass wont grow in the backyard since 2008?
Chemicals???

Could be - but just might be there's a tree grown large enough that it's not getting enough light (DS had this - got rid of the tree and now has mega-lawn)
 
Where is she going with this? Are we going to get into her letter to the inmate about how they had to replace carpet in Caylee's room due to a "burst pipe" and "water damage" in the corner? Even though there was no plumbing anywhere inside or outside that area?

I hope THAT gets addressed.
