[YellowSubmarine]

LDB sticking it to her!

 

[sleutherontheside]

LDB is totally RUINING JB's day with this line of questioning.

 

[Chiquita71]

LDB: I am going to show you States "35" Mrs. Anthony do you see the item?

yes ma'am

LDB: were they in the car when you cleaned it?

yes

LDB: ?

the back seat of the sunfire on the passenger side.

LDB: other items?

shoes and casey's dress slacks and in the well, the seat well on the passenger side behind the driver there was a pair of casey's dress boots.

LDB: you removed the boots and the slacks.

not the boots.

LDB: okay the slacks what did you do with them?

they smelled like the car so I put them in the laundry.

LDB: your laundry is right there in the garage?

yes ma'am

LDB: "L" for identification. Can you see that?

yes

LDB: is that a fair and accurate portrayal?

that picture is taken after because the boots were in the well and the dyer sheets were not there I placed them there.

LDB: aside from the changes you made it is fair and accurate?

yes

HHJP: admitted into evidence

LDB: Mrs. Anthony...you indicated the boots where in a different part of the car when you accessed it?

yes

LDB: were they on the floor?

yes

LDB: did you put the dyer sheet there?

yes

LDB: depo remember taking?

yes

LDB: you were sworn to tell the truth, I was there

yes

LDB: do you remember given a different response?

yes

LDB: at that point in time do you remember saying you put the dryer sheet in the car?

I had forgotten I did.

LDB: may I approach the witness. page 322 line 15...

HHJP: you may approach

JB: objection

HHJP: overrulled

LDB: does that help your recollection as to whether you put the dyer sheet in the car?

at that time that I made that statement I did not remember since then I have had flash backs of that day. I had been on meds and I explained to everyone that day I was in transistion of meds and I would do the best I could that day.

LDB: didn't you say in that depo you said you didn't have a reason you would put a sheet in the car.

at that point I didn't remember doing so, since then my memory has increased.

LDB: do you remember me asking you if there was anything affecting your memory?

yes

LDB: remember I asked you if there was an issue with your memory and do another time.

yes and I said that was the best you would get from me at that time.

LDB: (long pause)

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

I sense state is going to turn Cindy into a Hostile witness. and this could be why GA looks so p!ssed!!

 

[Stella5]

Excellent...LDB is heading off JB's impeachment on the dryer sheet issue.

HAHA

I'm in awe of her... she is just SO good!

 

[sunsetbeach]

FIRST, let me start by saying I'm so happy I found this site....so great to read along as I listen to the trial.

NEXT, not sure if this is nationwide or just here in Florida....but I live about 200-220 miles from Orlando. I understand the trial is being shown on HLN, IS and various other shows, but you have to deal with COMMERCIALS. These cable providers are showing the trial nonstop on devoted channels:

Brighthouse: 631
Comcast: 212
Verizon: 461
Knology: 135

Again, I don't know if this is just Florida-wide, but I do know that I've been watching uninterrupted as have some friends from various surrounding towns. Commercial-free other than when court is at recess.

I hope this helps someone! It's been my pleasure to watch the trial live, read posts here on WebSleuths, and watch the live CaseyCam, all at once. Multi-tasking!

Welcome to WS!!

 

[Kimster]

Hi DalesWife! :seeya:

So glad you joined us and thank you for your helpful first post! :hug:

:welcome:

:wagon:

 

[TotallyObsessed]

CA needs to make eye contact with the jury. They may think "well were you lying then, or now?"

 

[darcedarce]

Maybe she's cutting Jose's cross exam off at the pass, so to speak.

I thought of this as well if LDB brings it up first she can do it while she's in control.

 

[Linda7NJ]

JB not liking this.

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

he had his moment all planned out too! ----->Jose:maddening:

 

[QueenD]

So are we saying she may have lied at depo(which we sorta knew) but telling truth now?

 

[luckyme]

Why is the dryer sheet so important?

The state going over her inconsistencies so jose cant tear her up on cross.

 

[Beyond Belief]

Since they were owners of the car all they ever had to do was file a stolen car report, the police would have picked up Casey as soon as they found her and the car.

 

[countzero]

There are threads about this steak knife. There was a black fiber ONLY, no duct tape residue or finger prints on it. In the trash bag from the truck there were empty velvetta wrappers. No evidence has been released what the black fiber was from if they discovered what it was.

 

[logicalgirl]

Flashbacks = Thwartbacks

I don't know if I have enough Thwartcakes to last the morning - looks like I'm gonna have to bake a whopper for CA - :rocker:

 

[ljs713]

My heart goes out to CA today. I feel so bad for her. She is really having a rough time today. It is just sinful what ICA has put her parents through.
