I have to believe the defense intention to close tomorrow means #CaseyAnthony will not testify.

So now that we're in Sidebar thread... I got home from an appointment to turn on the trial and there was SK. She seemed like a combo of Debbie Reynolds and SNL's Sally O'Malley. Also, kept thinking we've had the "Dessert Lady" in this trial. Now we have the "Magical Fruitcake Lady".
Wow, she added nothing to the defense. Another ouch for them. Looks like RC tomorrow. If she doesn't bring it home for the DT, they're in trouble!
With the DT wrapping up tomorrow, and HHBP telling the state that they should be prepared to begin rebuttal tomorrow afternoon, it would appear that the DT may only have one or two witnesses left.
We know by reports that River Cruz was waiting outside in the hall this afternoon, so she is one witness. Are there any more left to testify? I wonder if KC will testify and be the last witness?
As far as rebuttal goes, it's been stated that two of Cindy's former co-workers have been subpoenaed to testify. Bill Shaeffer referenced the HIPPA laws that all medical records be kept for 7 years, so there may be records of Cindy being at work when the computer searches were made.
I also expect to see someone testify regarding phone records for George and Cindy that might show that they weren't home during those computer searches.
I also think Dr. Garavaglia will be called to testify to refute Dr. Spitz's allegation that her autopsy was shoddy.
Can anyone think of other possible rebuttal witnesses?
I know EXACTLY what you mean! My beloved mother died in '91 of cancer at age 54, 7 mos. from diagnosis to horrible/suffering death. I was devastated. My mom had raised 5 kids by herself after my dad died young, and as the oldest girl, I became her 'partner', sort of, in raising the younger ones (she never asked me to do this, it's what I wanted to do). I took a few days off then went back to work- was living w/fiance at the time. That a-hole could have cared LESS about my grief. I became severely depressed, which disgusted him. Within a week, he told me "Get over it! Even if MY (his) mom had died, I would HANDLE IT BETTER THAN YOU!" I looked him in the eye and said, "YOU have NEVER had anyone close to you die, much less a parent. I swear to God, when either your mother or your father dies, I will be the FIRST person you will think of, and you'll think "OH GOD so THIS is how she felt!"- then we split up, Thank God. Well I still see him from time to time (mutual friends) and I am glad his mom is still alive, however his dad died last October.Someone asked in the trial thread how sociopaths grieve...I have a story that will help people understand. My ex is NPD/APD (narcissistic psychopath) and my Mom passed away in 2006. It is still the only event in my life that nearly broke me. I could not function, stayed in bed for weeks, didn't eat, sleep, etc.
3 days into my grieving process my ex husband told me how disappointed my Mom would be in me that I didn't realise how much he was hurting. He cried while going on an hour long diatribe about himself - his loss, his pain, and what a horrible wife I was for not pushing aside my grief to soothe him.
I divorced him not too long after that.![]()
I agree. I'm sure she's a lovely woman, but she didn't help the defense at all today, IMO.
If anybody here tweets with the night time talking heads, someone say something about the boy in the rain, and the contrast of poor Caylee thrown out in the rain and dark. I am trying to swallow my wine (I really need it today) and I can't. That was so sad and so powerful if anyone really stops to think about it. I hope LDB uses it in closing too. That mother was grieving, ICA ... I just can't find the words.
The IORNY that the Jury could come back on Independence Day and take away ICA's Inependence!!!![]()
Agreed. Then he kept trying to get in the fact that RK makes up fantastical stories.... just didn't sit right with me.
No matter what is thought about this woman's testimony, I have to give her applause for sitting with that mother in the rain. Heart wrenching. It was also just about the WORST thing for the DT. Will any of their witnesses end up as a positive for them?
Need a good excuse to stay home to watch the trial?
Try "food poisoning." It works whdn 'blue flu' wont. Seafood excuse is best cause all know how quick seafood can go over. "I must have eaten a bad piece fish last night."
(once when I had a job I hated I "ate" a lot of "fish.")
...and on the trial thread someone posted that LDB was wiping her eyes.
i rewound and sure enough, major eye wiping by LDB. poor thing, that story hit a nerve with a lot of us. :heartbeat:
have a relaxing bath
