2011.07.03 TRIAL Day Thirty-four - DEFENSE (JB) CLOSING ARGUMENTS

[symbolic]

Wishful thinking that this delay would count against JB's time limit!

Just got off the phone with my mother. The defense won her over. Thank god she's not on the jury.

On the other hand, she told me she could hear my grandmother screaming at Baez for being a "you know what" so that's always good. lol

Sonny Hostin NEEDS to shut up!!!!!! She is pro defense TH

So what was JB saying when JA started to laugh

He was saying the evidence only pointed to one man. . .then *grand gesturing to the back of the courtroom* and that one man is GA. It was over-the-top. JA was covering his mouth, but found it amusing, as did I.

Ashton has continually made gestures, facial gestures, laughing, rolling eyes throughout the trial. I've seen it myself over and over.

JA does it all the time. Both attorneys have some behavioral problems in the courtroom.

Yes, Jeff Ashton is scared, he should be confident and composed. How embarrassing. jmo

Are you kidding me???? JB is desperate and pitiful. jmo

HHJP has left the building.

Nah - he is just in the little boys room having a comfort break...

 

[Azcrabcakes]

HHJP has left the building.

I just saw that clip of him walking out, robeless. IS there more? I had a call and lost my place!

 

[grandmaj]

The laughing of JA hidden behind a hand is wrong and he will probably get fined.

But what Baez did could be a major problem. YOU do not call another attorney a name. You object.

The Jury could hold this against Casey, the way Baez reacted and now that is a problem.

 

[fifteen89]

Y'all keep neglecting the fact that the objection was sustained. (And Judge Perry already heard from Jose Beaz that JA was making faces at him. Yet he still sustained.)

You say "y'all" in Amsterdam?

Hey Guys,

The board is getting very slow and timing out. If it is possible for you to make it into this thread to get the chat room link you should do it! Lots of people are in here chatting. Just wanted to remind everyone about the chat room for us.

he was laughing & everyone has to admit that if JB was up there calling the SA office names, calling their work fantasy, etc.

also, remember JB smirking & whispering to CM while HHJP was addressing him....JB wants respect but he doesn't give it.....wants cake and eat it too.

Mediating the 1st graders gave his honor a headache? I know i'D have one.

Oh, excuse me. Mediating the two "gladiators".

 

[pinkfly]

deep breath

JA was okay so I don’t think we need to worry

how much trouble for calling opposing counsel a name? would be dealt with later

maybe judge worried about something else that jury might see when leaving.

judge left without robe with court admin. lady

Not sure how this will resolve. Ashton is prone to facial expressions. Baez is prone to overstep procedural allowances. #CaseyAnthony

Honestly, I'd have a hard time keeping straight face during some of the things Baez said, esp the pot/kettle kinda stuff. #CaseyAnthony

[nursebeeme]

HHJP has left the building.

nurse crosses herself....

please don't let anything go wrong at this point!

 

[QueenD]

Baez set it up! Why was he always looking at JA anyway?

This is what I am saying.

 

[allycat1208]

How long was the closing by the State? Who closed for the State?

 

[Spangle]

HHJP has left the building.

Left the court room without his robe and with the court house admin.
