Finally getting a chance to finish up my notes from last Thursday. I couldn't tear myself away from Katie's awesome thread to finish. That, and I had real life stuff I had to do.
So....
Meanwhile back at the courthouse........
Afternoon break. There's a line in the bathroom as always during break.
i see "P" a friend of the family out in the hall, I get a hug and hello. Was nice to see her
at trial today, she's a kind soul.
As we go back inside we're reminded to have our electronics powered off. I'm surprised how many ignore this rule.
RS back up, babbling on about PTSD I write Poor Travis She Devil. Keepin' it real.
ja isn't suffereing from PTSD that I can see after reading the not so good doctor's list of
symptoms he uses to test for the disorder.
Another hired gun who will say anything to fit which ever side he is representing.
Denial, can't deal with what she has done. Gallery not buying it, I notice a number of people shaking their heads. Reliving, I'm sure she is. She was obsessed and can no longer control him, call, slash tires, stalk, crawl in doggie door, and on it goes.
She was always "blunted" and unable to love. She's a psychpath.
After hearing him go on about all his credentials and accomplishments for half an hour he doesn't seem to be very smart.
The jury is attentive, but not buying the BS. Probably a welcome witness after having ja on the stand with Nurmi doing the questioning.
Not sure what RS said but I wrote "Oh h*ll Samuels, she slept like a baby". I'm guessing he is saying she couldn't sleep after the crime.. GMAB..
He goes on to say she doesn't sleep well in jail. I hear quiet laughter behind me.
RS is rambling on about PTSD, ja, and an article. He can't write this himself, has to do research?? WTH, I am not impressed, at all. I doubt the jury is either.
ja's mom taking notes. I got moved after break so a couple could sit together, and have a different view.
Oh yeah, she was so affected by what she'd done she went out and bought a 9mm and planned to go on a gold panning campout with several men... uhhhh huh, yeah, sure.
Mike (court reporter) can't keep up with his fast talking... slow down Samuels..
Have a better view of ponytail (juror). I notice she picks at her fingernails/cuticles off and on. Willie leaning forward, Maureen? (next to Ponytail) hand on mouth, but she is in the navel intelligence pose. She listens with interest, but I don't think she's buying the testimony as it pertains to ja.
End of Session.
I walk out with some of the family friends. They're headed out for HH, and ask if I want to come along. I thank them for their kind offer, but I'm beat and decide to go home.
All in all it wasn't an exciting day in court in regards to bombshells, .etc. But, every day we're getting closer to justice for Travis, the reason we're all here.
Until next time, happy trails!
