[RSDhoping for a cure]

How long is the lunch recess under the new schedule and did anyone bring Jack, Jim or Evan? I was also going to request some Jose but I think we've had enough!

I will gladly bring the soda pop, ice and those tiny umbrellas

So, does CA swoop in with lies to save the up and coming challenger as a way to prove SHE'S still the queen bee? Or does she do it because she feels guilty because she was never able to make the up and coming challenger love and respect her?

Makes ya wonder. But of course, as I said, all irrelevant to this trial.

 

[coloradoteacher]

Not JB, it was Lippman.

Does anyone have a screenshot of this? I do not know how, but I saw JB pat him on the back and Lippman at the back of the courtroom by the A's

 

[butwhatif?]

Lee has serious mental issues..

The whole A family has serious mental health issues. That's what caused their dysfunction. And it's also why I can't hate them the way most people do.

They need professional help. They should have gotten it a loooong time ago, but like many other families, they didn't, until it was too late.

This case is part of the reason I sought early intervention for my DD's mental health problems.

I didn't watch the testimony ,but based on just the few posts I read here,I think Lee always felt like he was on the outside,like ICA was the favored child.
He watched her get away with everything,including not paying him for the car.CA said in her depo ,of the two ICA was the better student.Lee went through a horrible illness and CA said he was more withdrawn and somewhat of a loner after that.
I have an older sister who was enabled by my parents well into her 50's .It carried over to her children using my parents,also.
I went out of my way to become the opposite of that.I think that's what Lee has tried to do . Always trying to please,while maintaining some independence and distance.
Leaving Lee out of such a huge family event ,as the pregnancy and birth is probably painful for him. It's a reminder of all the times he felt left out or put aside.

I'm beginning to think he wasn't kidding. JMO

So why was he patting Lee on the back? Why was Casey crying when she saw her alleged molester on the stand crying?

Geez...this ain't no freakin soap opera. It's a baby's murder trial for pete's sake. :banghead:

 

[TexasDoll]

I know it's been said already, but I just can't wrap my head around one fact.

JB is accusing LA and GA of molestation. Why in hades is LA AND GA so chummy with JB? Are you kidding me? If that were my brother he would throw me under the bus so quick it wouldn't even be funny. He would never forgive me!!! He would be a hostile witness with the defense too.

None of this makes sense.

 

[pjmale]

Does LDB on cross ask LA if he molested ICA?

 

[MelissaLee]

I totally didn't get the feeling JB or LA left the Jury wondering if he was hurt because he had jealousies or similar feelings about KCs pregnancy.

My impression was that he was hurt because he'd tried to discuss his suspicions/belief that KC was pregnant with his mom and he'd been blown off, and that NO ONE told him KC really WAS pregnant - remember CA said they'd all (which I suppose meant GA, CA and KC) celebrated and started buying a ton of things for the baby - and then also delivering the baby. That left him feeling he was deliberately excluded.

If my sister-in-law did that to my husband, he'd be wrecked, even though they're about a thousand miles apart at the mo' and only get to talk infrequently.

 

[TotallyObsessed]

I'm tired of these people. Hasn't it been longer than 15 minutes?

 

[Brattigirle]

Someone tell me Caylee is going to get Justice....pls. I can not believe this family.

 

[cluciano63]

If I believed that someone molested a person I would not be patting that molester on the back as he left the witness stand..

It was Anthony family lawyer who did this, not JB...I think...

 

[ami]

By golly, I hate to admit it, but JB was actually able to prove within 2 witnesses how dysfunction this family truly is. All I have to say is, Point for the Defense. They may just save KC's life after all.

I agree that he proved that. I'm not sure how that will save her life though... I think she's nuts enough to murder her daughter and toss her in trash bags into a dump site and then go party... not sure if that means she didn't know right from wrong or that what she did was murder.

 

[Quiche]

Lee cries like Mallory. Interesting.

 

[MvD]

That whole thing with Lee gave me the eebie jeebies....

 

[Whisperer]

BUT....don't forget that LA was really sick for some time when he was younger and he was the one getting all the attention. maybe ICA started demanding the attention then????

QUOTE]

Seriously, I think that is when Lee (as a teenager) had his first break. He needs help and I hope there is somebody out there to help him.

 

[bonjoviblonde]

Not JB, it was Lippman.

I saw JB pat Lee on the back when he came off the stand.

 

[passionflower]

LA was hurting emotionally, not because he had "molested" ICA but because CA & GA always put HER before him! And, after both of them are in adulthood, look where the "chosen one" is compared to where he is. I think he felt left out all along.

And now 'mom' wants him to fall on the sword to save a murderer.
That in itself has to hurt bad!

 

[Turnadot]

I'd have to disagree. I moved away from my family many years ago and often now feel left out of things when it comes to the rest of my family and I get very emotional about it. For example, my sister had a milestone birthday and apparently had a huge party with the rest of my family who live in my hometown (where I moved from) and no one thought to invite me. I found out AFTER the fact when looking at all the pics on FB. I was very hurt then and still am to this day that no one thought to invite me. And no "unnatural" feelings are there with us.

I think some people can hold grudges and feel slighted MANY years later about many things even if they seem trivial to others. Some people are stronger than others when it comes to that stuff and others are big babies like me. LOL I just feel 'forgotten' a lot now that I moved and that hurts. JMO

That's true. But at this point, I really wouldn't put anything past this family.

IMO, hiding the pregnancy from Lee wasn't trivial, but I can't see myself collapsing into a blubbering mess years later because of it. Maybe that would change if I were testifying at my sister's murder trial though, I don't know.

JB released the witness. If JA doesn't open the door on the abuse, JB can't go there on re-direct.
