[Tink]

She may call it "magical thinking" but that's not the medical/psychological definition of magical thinking. This is not an expert I would rely on.

:waitasec:I thought magical thinking was something 5 yr olds do!

I also thought it was that they wished something then it happened...

Am I wrong?

if a child wants very much for something to happen, and it does, the child believes he or she caused it to happen. If your daughter is mad at her brother and wants him to leave, and he then gets sick and goes to the hospital, your daughter may think her brother's illness is her fault.

"I would think we need to get her some help," she says

The DT chose not to go the insanity route. They can't have it both ways.

Taking this opportunity to thank all posters who have heeded the warnings about bashing players based on appearance or speech patterns. You are what makes WS such a wonderful place to be, especially on a rough day like this.

:tyou:

 

[lonetraveler]

She can't do this. Another waste of time by the defense, but I find her interesting.

Oh I don't know.................maybe slightly entertaining................maybe......

 

[megsie]

JEFF.

you amaze me.

I wish I could hit the Thank button multiples times.

 

[Softail]

:lol: BS saying he must be watching a different trial than the one DCS is watching!

 

[Camille]

Casey is going to break something straining so hard to hear.

 

[Amity]

Amity <-------- has holes in her tongue. very representative of Swiss Cheese!

Just keep biting, Amity. It won't hurt much longer. Blood? No problem...here's a tissue.

 

[belle3]

is a defense witness now magically turning into a prosecution witness in front of our very eyes
MAgical thinking everywhere

 

[tehcloser]

Ashton is "magically delicious"...............:floorlaugh:

 

[Darla]

I hope the jurors realize who paid for this witness vacay in sunny Florida.

 

[mistermissy]

ICA breathing so hard I can see her blouse go up and down

 

[Grammaof4]

JA makes up his own hypotheticals.

I'm loving Jeff's Hypotheticals - BUt I'm afraid HHJBP may have left this open to Mistrial by letting both sides do these "closing statements"? KWIM?
This is not Common is it?
This just seems so out of bounds?
IDK ?
Anybody else concerned?

 

[Blue Ridge]

DS - "no evidence of this" (murder)

Did DS miss the autopsy report where Dr G rules Caylee's death a homicide? :waitasec:

 

[Lovejac]

I think they need to take the pens away from ICA.

OMG, I was just thinking the same exact thing

 

[Boodles]

Hypothetically, if the mother drove around with the child's dead body in the trunk, would that be inconsistent with the denial which typically accompanies grief?

 

[strach304]

OMG I could give hypothetical answers to their hypothetical questions just as bad as she is. What a HUGE waste of a day

Defense doesn't like the prosecutions hypothetical too much huh?

 

[FaerieB]

stevehelling Steve Helling
Wow. If looks could kill. Anyone else see the look that #CaseyAnthony gave #JeffAshton when he said, "assume the mother killed the child"?

 

[Pondering Mind]

JA is soooooo good! The defense has to be hating his 'hypothetical" it's so different from theirs.

yes they are..ain't it just a shame? ...:floorlaugh:
