2011.06.16 TRIAL Day Twenty (Afternoon Session)

[What'sThatClue]

Q47 - results, no presence of blood (car seat)
Q48 - Steering Wheel Cover no biological items

I read a post earlier today that the woman currently testifying had dinner with Baez last night. Don't know who reported it, but apparently they were seen. This woman is an employee of the FBI, correct? Since when is it okay for a government employee to accept any gratuity from anyone involved in a case in which she is testifying?????? Even if she paid for her own dinner, it is the perception that is objectionable. I am a retired state employee in HR, and in my career, this would never have been allowed.

Well earlier JB referenced asking this witness a question last night ???

Steering wheel...no blood.

 

[pipkins]

This witness is annoying to me. All her side comments and wanting to explain.....

absolutely - Im getting the feeling that she and Baez are friends - I dont get the feeling that shes impartial

 

[sleutherontheside]

JB is exhibiting some sort of strange flirtatious behavior that is inducing increasing symptoms of nausea in me.

When will this be over? The trial? Please and thanks.

As Ws'er technicalconfusion posted this morning "10 years, 8 days". And at the rate we are going I almost tend to believe that....:floorlaugh:

 

[coloradoteacher]

[Mohabi]

Tweet said no other witnesses waiting...guess this witness will be here all day..

No twelve jurors are going to give Casey one free murder.

I find it hard to believe that even JB could keep her on the stand all day.


I'm betting next witness is already in the courtroom.

 

[hannahsnana]

How does have dinner = accept gratuity?

I just explained why. If he paid for dinner, that's a no-no. If she paid for her own, it's still the perception to the public that's important. That is not acceptable ethically for any government employee.

 

[Brattigirle]

Wow I feel like that was all a dead end.

 

[crimejunkie]

Can this really go on for another 3 hours!!??? EEK! I won't make it!

 

[Mountain_Kat]

No further questions? Halleluja!!

 

[AquaEyes]

Did Lee Anthony ever claim to have done the chloroform and other internet searches?
Someone I know said that he did, I don't recall that.

 

[pcrum12]

This witness is annoying to me. All her side comments and wanting to explain.....

The prosecution witnesses were aloud to elaborate and explain even when the DT was asking a yes or no question. Shouldn't be any difference made between sides.

Lending my copy of Zen and the Art of Happiness to JA.

Shoot! I thought that was a link. How long will the defense take? Weeks?

I'm going to try to clarify a few things so hopefully we are a little clearer about what is okay to post in this thread and what is to be saved for Sidebar. Hope this helps.

Re: posting Tweets - Previously we have requested that all tweets be restricted from this thread and posted in the Twitter thread. Posting single tweets from anyone inside the courroom that can shed light on what we are unable to see via our monitors are fine to post here. (note: repetitive, multiple posts of the same tweet will be removed at mod discretion so they do not clog up the thread.) Most all of these will be from MSM reporters - I really can't think of any exceptions off of the top of my head. If they can tell us how jurors are reacting, that is huge, relevant info and we need to see it here. I ask that those of you who do post tweets still include them in the Twitter thread because we have many members who log in for a quick update and depend solely on that thread.


Re: posting about the demeanor of the defendant or witnesses -
This is the deal:
It is perfectly fine to post FACTS & OBSERVATIONS about their demeanor. (e.g., Casey is emotionless; Casey is giggling while listening to this testimony, etc...)

It is the "Casey's blouse is so low cut she must be trying to get the attention of Juror #11, the George Clooney look-a-like"; "eyebrows and hair" ('nuff said :aktion1. Bottom line, if it doesn't add anything to understanding what is going on during TRIAL, then save these comments and post them in the Sidebar. Express those sentiments there. (Remember! TOS and Rules of Etiquette still apply in Sidebar: no namecalling, bashing and derogatory remarks simply intended to be snarky.)


Okay, I hope that helps clarify a few things.
