Oh dear. Hope not. That's still 11 days away. It wouldn't be a good sign, imo.

I am talking the sentence, life or death....NOT the verdict......:rocker:

Good morning all.

 

[Tulessa]

good morning- feeling a little out of sync today as i know we will n ot be watching a trial anymore as before. i know i could vote in about one hour after linda spoke. perhaps jury can decide today as how much more can you need to hear?

if your eating do not read this -lol-- sleeping and phone rings. its 6:30 am and its my hubby. i live in florida and its hot here. he says i hate to wake you up but i was in hurry to leave for an appt and the garbage you put out last nite is all over the street. i wake up and think oh sh-t!! i go out in my nightgown and see one week of food - garbage - trash --lol- whatever the experts call it alll over street and grass!! just happens i made shrimp, mussels and some n ice leftovers in the week. omg- the mess and smell and lil maggots. i almost got sick- and thought decomp and trash experts would turn this into evidence. i get hose and spray - gross!!!! yuck - my gross start of day!! trash smells but decomp is worst- but you could have fooled me today - thank god i never smelled decomp!

lml, thank you for all the first hand accounts you gave us.

Then again, I see people like my friend as very compassionate people and I'm grateful to know people like that. OTOH, I wish I could sew up the corner of their hearts that bleed for KC.

It annoys me when I hear that people feels sorry for KC because she couldn't afford better than Baez; she darn well could and a high priced one at that, but she chose Baez instead. A friend of mine said that maybe if KC could afford a better lawyer, etc - well, I set her straight on that score, let me tell you!

And KC had very good lawyers for free: LKB, AL, CM.

She wasn't short-changed in the least.

ITA, she was not short changed, nope. She truly had some of the best but the jury like my parents do not know that. That's what's bothering me. I tried to set my parents straight as well.

I spoke with my Mom and Dad yesterday. They only started following the case since the trial. I discussed this briefly with my Mom over the past three years but she really wasn't all that interested until now, so they knew almost zero. I was very disturbed by their view/opinion. My Dad feels bad for ICA and for JB. He said "that poor guy is trying his best, it's too bad she couldn't afford better attorney's." They also stated that she is so cute and small and it's so hard to believe that she would do what the SA is saying. They also do not like GA and my father (retired LE) said he felt that GA definitely had something to do with this.

I tried to explain some background info, info that did not make it into court. I soon stopped because I felt my words were going to deaf ears.

Until that time, I didn't have any doubt about how this jury would vote. There is a thread here about the very same thing my Father said about JB. This is truly bothering me now. I will assume that the jury told the truth about not following the case. I hope they don't get the same opinion and is able to see through it. The big pad is now making more sense to me. IMO, it was an aid alright, but an aid to buy sympathy for the DT. As if this was not a fair playing field (think the NY Giants vs Madison HS). All of JB's bumbling and stumbling and simply getting eaten alive through a lot of the trial. (I know she was helped through the years with some superstar attorneys, but my parents don't).

GA demeanor and arrogance while testifying surely didn't help matters. I know he cried but in many instances he was typical GA. (I do not believe he had anything to do with anything BTW).

Anyway, this had me tossing and turning all night and I just wanted to share.

Along this same note: We had family from out of town, visit yesterday. I mentioned the case, and was surprised that my 30 year old stepson, that never cares about this stuff, knew who she was. He also said that she'll get off. I asked him why he thought that, and he said that there's NO way she did this, even after I filled him in on more.

Also, his girlfriend and most of the family, thought she would get off! There was one or two that weren't sure, and only one, who agreed with me, and thought she was guilty.

You have to click on the upcoming live casey trial at 8 link. It won't appear before 8am.

The Scott Peterson trial lasted several months (maybe 5?) The jury took a week or so to come back with a verdict.

This trial lasted 6 weeks so I hope the jury comes back in a day or two!

My reasoning is off but I'm optimistic!

Yes, and you have to remember ... if one or more jurors are going with not guilty, the others will take time to talk with them, hear their reasons, talk some more, and see if they all can come to an agreement. That can take time.

It can be difficult, especially when dealing with people we love, because I don't want to argue my point so much that it hurts their feelings or feels like an attack.

I generally say, 'Well, what we think doesn't matter anyway, only the jury matters.'

Saves arguing, at least for me.

Today I am going with my family to the zoo, but will check my phone periodically for any e-mail alerts. I'm wearing purple every day until the verdict comes in. May common sense prevail with the jurors, because that's really what this comes down to. ((Hugs)) for everyone here today

 

[DianaElaine]

I went to the chiroprater the other day and ran into a lady. She had asked the nurse to put the tv on the trial. I was in shock. we talked about this case forever. She said she went on line all the time to follow trial. I wanted to ask her if she post here. LOL! she was a retired corrections officer and thought casey should get death. she was telling me some stories about female inmates and male guards. Yep i think casey will adapt in prison. moo

Well now you KNOW you have to fill us in!

Or do we have to fill in the blanks? :crazy:

 

[iluvmua]

My Uncle thinks she is guilty......

 

[rose222]

Oh and also the jury selection in this case didn't take long at all. Remember all the "experts" said that there was no way Judge Perry could find a jury in such a short time but he did! It took only a week more than Judge Perry had estimated. I'm hoping that this quick and easy theme runs through the deliberation as well!

An hour before the jury starts deliberating!!!

Good morning all.

I just wanted to let you know that I was always glad when you posted early on sidebar threads so I could hook up with the media link. Otherwise I had to back out and go the stickies. Uh, I also read your other posts too :seeya:

i had a 4 hour layover in cincinatti last week and begged wolfgang puck staff in airport to put on case on tv. i had already ate at outback in airport but wolfgang had on tv so yes i begged and bought more food and sat for couple hours sipping my drink of pepsi-lol. i asked for volume up and close captionand waitress did it for me. some ticket agents thought i was funny as i said were can i watch casey case in airport. they said the tv in airort could not be changed but good ol wolgang came to rescue. many people i asked of tv spoke with me about case and when i said i had been to trial they were like omg- tell me about jurors!! made the flight home ok. i fly free but standby is a pain in butt!!

Good Morning all! Sigh..... my body clock is set to get up very early (I'm on the west coast) so I can be here with all of you. I kinda don't know what to do with myself So grateful this is almost at and end because I really need to get my life back but still....

Can someone be kind enough to explain what will happen once the jury comes back with a verdict? I've gotten confused reading different comments as to what comes next.

 

[JusticeSeeker1960]

good morning:seeya:
I just got done reading over A's testimony...
There was quite a bit I did not catch a trial.
I wish we had heard the other side of the story!
Not that it would be true...

Good morning everyone! Funny you brought this up, I was looking back over the first depo of CA that LDB had taken and wow, it's been a while.

Now, going back to those documents make you say, ah-ha! One thing was when comparing LA & CA, even though LA was in the Gifted Group at school, ICA was the one who had straight A's, no problem with disapline (compaired to 2 times w/L). We were all right about LA on the stand, he went through years of never being as good as ICA....good for you Lee!

:seeya:

Glad we have the side bar...guess I should try and get things done today...while keeping one eye on the computer.


No texting on my phone so can't get the texts about verdict being in...so will watch email closely


I say we should hear today...but that is more wishful thinking than logic

 

[Celt1997]

I know I've taken my lumps for what people assume is a soft spot in my heart for ICA, but that's just the way I am. It's not that I specifically feel for ICA, but I just tend to feel bad for a soul...ANY SOUL...that seemingly goes this far astray. The sadness of the whole situation - loss of family, loss of young life, loss of ICA's life, it's just so heavy to think about. Sad on so many levels. I know some interpret that as me liking ICA, but it's not true. I just feel bad for the whole situation. :sigh:

When it is announced that the jury as reached a verdict, there will be a 30 minute warning. (Does anybody know what this is for)?

I guess to get everyone in the courtroom.

If you follow Vinnie from HLN, he is going to give 20 minutes for everyone to go to their TV screens.
