Found this in the evidence thread, could someone explain to me what it all means, in plain english lol?

Not listed on the Clerk's docket (yet) but the State filed a Motion in Limine to make the Defense proffer questions regarding hearsay statements by the defendant [regarding sexual abuse and George's participation in the accidental drowning] and it was heard in open court and GRANTED on May 27, 2011.

Hey, there is a mother and her daughter being interviewed on Dr, Drew.

Wonder if they are Websleuthers!

 

[Amil]

My niece would like to know who the African American is that sits in the front row, second seat on viewers left. Is he a journalist? He sits in the same seat every day.

He is a journalist. I borrowed a piece of paper from him one day. He had press credentials.

 

[gelfie68]

Something involving "job" I'm sure, but fee arrangements are not part of the official record.

OMG I love your new title!!!

 

[RR0004]

The extra space makes it easier to spell correctly and use proper grammar.

...may I say that it is so nice seeing your posts. I always imagined you were like Charlie (of Charlie's Angels)...directing, but never seen.

I didn't read all the way through to find the answer.

But I decided that I would do a workout every time he objected and was overruled or a sidebar was caused....the workout was as follows as in...like the first time he was overruled, I did 10 squats. The next I did 10 situps, the next 10 pushups, the next 10 burpees.

By 2:00-2:30 (AND I WOKE UP LATE so started at 9:30) ((and of course missed some cause I couldn't catch my breath or feel my legs)....

I had done about 80 squats, 70 situps, 70 pushups and about 25 burpees (as i broke my ankle in January and burpees with barefeet tweek said ankle((and replaced burpees with Good Morning hamstring workouts))) and about 45 Good Mornings...

i wont be able to walk tomorrow or lift a diet coke.

Awesome idea!

:floorlaugh: What trial was Ashley Banfield watching?....She's on Joy B's nighttime show and claiming that the defense defeated Vass!!!!!!

 

[lorann]

Dr. Vass was wonderful today! For someone who hasn't testified in a courtroom before, he did an outstanding job!

As I listened to the testimony, I couldn't help but think of GA and CA who are in the courtroom every day. I wonder what their thoughts are? Are they seeing and accepting the truth? What do they think of JB now?

The expression "Comfortable in his own skin" comes to mind with Dr. Vass. He is aware of his diverse abilities.

Evidently some trial in her alternate world...LOL...defeated Vass...hardly!!!!

 

[chelle70]

Thanks for the link. Of course then I had to watch ICA again linger and linger and stack up all the things on the desk, manage the cords, smile, yada yada yada:banghead:
The SA's gathered their stuff neatly and left and all those other 'folks' took forever to gather their stuff up...but of course the guards let her sit and do all this...why don't they take her butt out right away? Geesh.

ITA, I do not know why this happens everyday. It drives me nuts watching her fooling around w/ the files, cords, trash, pens & paper sorting and handing stuff to the attorneys to put away. The deputies should make her get up, push her chair in, and leave out the door in an orderly fashion. Not hang around and laugh, grin and be a general nuisance to everyone!

 

[belle3]

Someone said she told him "Good Job" today. :waitasec:

Was she being snarky?

And I flipped over to Fox cause someone said Greta was at the courthouse today. She goes "what is the prosecution thinking? Are they making OJ prosecutor errors? They have an expert who claims to smell death." But first their talking about the Weiner who got caught with <modsnip> exposed.

I think this was the motion wherein the state said JB should not be allowed to elicit hearsay statements from witnesses about sexual abuse without "proffer" which I believe is a fancy word for prove it up!

In other words unless it came from the horses mouth to the witnesses ear JB can't insinuate such testimony exists or dance around the witnesses as if they have important evidence without have them "proffer" it to the judge so the judge can then decide if it meets the standard. Fancy way for the state to say "put up or shut up."

Would explain why JB hasn't said much about the ole abuse excuse since his BS opening statement.

Course, I am probably all wrong and some lawyer will probably come along here eventually and explain how wrong I am. lol

I'm watching this afternoon's portion on wftv. Usually I fast forward through sidebars but AV is cracking me up looking at the ceiling, then he looked like he was bobbing to a tune in his head. :blowkiss:

I know it drives me batty!!! She acts like a legal secretary or paralegal instead of the accused. Trying to act like she is important to any of them. If she only knew.

 

[QB.]

I'm watching anderson Cooper , he is doing a small segment on the case coming up.

 

[Turnadot]

I asked my husband if Dr Vass' divining rod hobby made him a kook. My husband said, 'I think the real question is - if he wasn't a little bit kooky, could he really claim to be a scientist? I think not.'

I saw her walk in today. It looked like she sat near CA and GA.

I'm sure he was...it was better than the alternative.

"The defense then voluntarily withdrew the subpoena, but indicated it wanted to call Vass as an expert witness of its own after the state had rested."

From Wesh.com's nice summary of today's events. Really? They plan on using Vass too? After they tried to discredit the poor guy's life work? Haven't they put him through enough?
