Thank you so much for an insiders view of what goes on behind the holding cell door.
I didn't watch the Casey Anthony trial, but am familiar with the case.
I thought it was unusual too, the way ja's family acts at times, but this is
the first trial I've attended in person.
That is a question I've asked myself a few times. Why does her mother and aunt come to court every day when ja never looks their way. I was told the mother visits her in jail.
When on the stand ja doesn't talk about her mother in a good light. It's always "we have our problems", "we don't get along", "we're not close".
Esteben Flores is the lead detective on the case. He works for Mesa P.D. I think he's referred to as lead investigator. He's also the detective who interviewed her on the jailhouse tapes we've seen.
Juan Martinez is a lone wolf, and has no co-counsel. When inside the courtroom they're all business. Outside the courtroom I've seen Flores and Martinez interact and they appear in a good mood.
Are you close enough to attend the trial? If we have other WSers coming in we will make sure we have happy hour after. During court we may not get to sit together, and the breaks are over before you know it. So it's a time for us to visit and compared notes on the trial.
