2011.06.14 TRIAL Day Eighteen (Afternoon Session)

[Wholehearted]

I'm wondering if the SA deliberately omitted the meaning because they thought it could be twisted by the defense team?

 

[Nali87]

The prosecution didn't rest its case, right? I'm thinking they might bring a linguist in to testity. The CSI investigators that collected the evidence didn't testify on the science of it either.

 

[luckyme]

I dont think the state is done.:woohoo::woohoo:

 

[Sleuths4Me]

Maybe they are going to have a language expert come in tomorrow to say what it means since the tattoo guy doesn't speak Italian fluently?

 

[Whaleshark]

Shall I reiterate the significance of this statement, because it apparently bears repeating, and trumps the fact of what Bella Vita means even -

The tattoo artist said that Casey said she was bringing Caylee to the upcoming tattoo appt. she made for the 19th, this is AFTER she already got the Bella Vita tattoo.

that's it. no more need for discussion of memorials and whatnot.

 

[Nefriahaia]

That is not a memorial Tattoo

You're right, that is a celebratory tat. Celebrating being "FREE". Oh, well, short lived freedom.

 

[TortillaChip]

So the jurors need to look up Bella Vita on their own?

I am certain they'll know, at least, more than half will know!!!!

 

[pinkfly]

The last question should have been, "What does Bella Vita mean?" Then the state rests.

Objection....he is neither a chemist nor Italian translator

 

[Wagara]

Wait a second, when will the jurors know what bella vita means???????????????????

I think that's how the state will end their closing statement.

 

[zoey]

So tomorrow are they going to call in an Italian translator?

no probably a sidebar:maddening:

 

[jojomonkey]

The SA will mention the meaning of the tattoo in closing I'm sure of it. Even if they don't, the jury will find out the meaning on their own. Anyone who knows Spanish can also figure it out even if it is italian because it's so similar.

 

[Scamperoo]

Excellent, excellent POINT!!!

Oh wow good point, I totally missed that.

 

[cluciano63]

If the state's case is over, the sidebars and delays really took the bang out of the ending...that witness did not overwhelm me...

 

[fla*mom]

They just have to say what the tattoo means or it totally falls flat!

 

[Robyn623]

oh god..here comes the mistrial motion again *sigh*

 

[smart blonde]

The tattoo testimony is a waste- a huge waste!- if they don't translate what it means!
Dang.

 

[GreenTeam]

CM moving for a mistrial again?

 

[Softail]

CM asking for a mistrial!

 

[Leila]

Tomorrow morning perhaps the state will conclude with re-direct for Bobby Williams and at that time ask the meaning of Bella Vita.
