2011.07.03 TRIAL Day Thirty-four - STATE CLOSING ARGUMENTS

[strawberry]

Bad form by Baez.

Did JP say the lawyers couldn't comfort Casey at the Defense table during closings?

There was a sidebar early on where JA objected and HHJP said they could comfort her but not to go over the top. They don't want to call attention to the fact that she is upset by is truthfulness.

ETA: I don't know how Tia got quoted.

YAY! Mentioning that the tape is as decomposed as everything else is.

 

[Lovejac]

I am shoeless Lee is not there considering he hates to be excluded from things.

Maybe he needed to be officially invited.

 

[Sleuths4Me]

JB sure wishes he didn't bring up the pets on the last day

 

[jmfstl]

HHJP is listening very intently to JA

 

[Sleuthster]

I am shoeless Lee is not there considering he hates to be excluded from things.

I was thinking the same thing! GA and CA must have forgot to invite him to the family function today.:floorlaugh:

 

[21merc7]

Yes! JA: Because the tape is as decomposed as everything else is

 

[Themis]

AND, it's about HER again. No tears when showing Caylee's "coffin" .... Jeez

JA's holding up the black garbage bag and calling it Caylee's coffin was extremely effective. Go JA!

JA: All Kronk had to do is go down the street and grab a reporter ....

(Kronk's testimony -- the call to LE to report it -- he wanted to be anonymous.)

Good point, JA! Go! Go! Go!

 

[megsy]

This is simply amazing.

 

[Caligram]

Boo hoo...who are the tears for, ICA? For herself, of course. I am sickened thinking of those moments for Caylee Marie when mommy stuck those three strips of duct tape on her little mouth and nose. The fourth strip of tape was probably binding Caylee marie's hands to keep her from removing the tape from her face.

Is wesh not broadcasting today?

 

[fifteen89]

She's really not going to look up the rest of the day????

 

[pinup]

I think that last section was getting a little off track. I like JA's passion, but I think the duct tape/GA/RK bit got a little bogged down.

He has to argue that in case any of the jurors inexplicably bought into JB's wild theories.

 

[Girlrilla]

ICA grabs new tissue...

 

[RR0004]

this is like poetry

It's got me crying...and I can guarantee you, they're real tears.

Crap I missed the first hour of closing!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to rewatch what I missed.

Whatever you do, REWATCH every. single. second. of this!!!

Ashton is BRILLIANT!!! I have never seen a closing this good and we have at least 2 more hours (considering he is probably reserving one of his hours for rebuttal argument.)

JSR, this argument is totally captivating! He even connected a couple of dots for me that I missed over the past 3 years.

 

[Tipstaff]

I am of the oppion that CA and her note taking is something she is using to protect all her newfound money, in a divorce case. Cindy is also a "very bright, and unusual person". IMO a'course!

Apple/tree.

 

[Ms.Heather]

Awwww Caylee... We are fighting for your justice!!!!

 

[kljohnson0458]

ICA's reaction to the drowning story was HER way of convincing the jury that that is exactly what happened without speaking. Pfffffffffft! You were a day late and a dollar short my dear! She can cry over that but not her daughter's decomposing body in her trunk. Sick!

 

[Serjen]

He is using every single defense strategy against them, even opening with the video the Defense submitted! I love this guy!
