What time do we start tomorrow? Also, will the defense officially rest? Then JM gets to start his rebuttal? Wish we knew what happened with Alyce, or will she show up tomorrow? Just questions if anyone knows the answer.

Is my signature in violation? I am truly curious?

Hi Kattrca,

Something tells me if you are thinking about this and you have read the terms you will be fine. : )

I am able to answer your questions, I think. Court starts at 9:30 tomorrow. I believe the judge will ask the defense to call their next witness, to which they'll (hopefully) respond "The defense rests." And then, yes, Juan will start his rebuttal case.

From today's testimony, whatever happened in chambers with ALV was obviously VERY damning and upsetting, as Juan and the judge eluded to. I look forward to learning what it was that Juan and his team turned up that obviously went against ALV somehow.

I believe Court is set for 9:30 a.m. AZ time. Not sure based on how Court ended today what will happen tomorrow. I assume they will rest. Again just assuming.

 

[Tesstruhart]

I look forward to JM rebuttal. He is so good, he will tie this all up with a ribbon. I don't think he will spend a lot of time on ptsd or dv. I believe he will focus on premeditation and the heinous actions of the murder. That is where the focus should be. So Nurmi and Willmott can have their eyeball guy and their stipulation, doesn't matter. JMO

But what was the point? It had to be something bad for the court to spend time on it in the middle of the trial. Do we assume that whatever she did, she was punished in some way, either sanctioned, or .... what?

Hi Michael,

Can you tell me what Juan and the judge said that eluded to it? Like everyone, I am curious. Or point me to a video? Thank you very much!

I assume you are speaking to ALV. I dont know if we will ever know. Perhaps after the Trial? Excellent question you can post on the Lawyer questions thread.

 

[Jeffssis]

Would you ask Juan if the dog he saw in the picture looked like mine?

Put a beacon on that little black nose and YES it's him!!

BBM - It very well could have been because ALV approached the victim's family. I've followed a lot of trials and I've never heard of an "expert" witness acting in such a disrespectful, arrogant and ignorant manner. This behavior has to be unlawful and egregious. imo

 

[CourtsInSession]

It's a shame in the beginning of this trial that we didn't think about having silicone bracelets made with "Justice for Travis" printed on them. We could have charged $5 with the proceedings going to the Alexander's.

I really want to know what happened with Alyce also. What did JSS come down on her for? There were sooo may issues.

If she is back in court tomorrow, I think she will be a broken shell.

Another thing that was brought up by an excellent poster, (forgive me, I forget who) remarked about Alyce's friends giving her backrubs and cheering he on and having her father there to see what a big deal she was, (not).

Who does that. I mean WHO does that??????

I would kind of like a short back story of this witness, yet I would be just as happy if she fell off the face of the earth.

She'd better be back. The Judge reminded her she is still under subpeona. She has no choice unless she wants to go to jail. I have a feeling (usually wrong) it is with her credentials. Dear God dont let her rattle on!!:banghead:

 

[Anadarko]

No no no.. She is coming to Atlanta!

How many possibilities are there for ALV's potential courtroom infractions?

1. Contempt of court for suggesting a time out for JM;
2. Leaving her glasses in her purse, inevitably causing delays by going to retrieve them;
3. Leaving her cell phone on, causing at least two disruptions;
4. Obfuscating on her responses to the prosecutor;
5. Bringing an entourage of riotous friends to distract the proceedings by laughing out loud during testimony;
6. Misrepresenting her true credentials by padding her C.V.;
7. Calling for her own breaks in the flow of the proceedings;
8. Faking an illness;
9. Lying during testimony in juror responses;
10. Approaching the victim's family in the courtroom.

There may be even more, but this is a pretty good list of possibilities from which to choose something ...

From the back and forth between Nurmi and Judge S. today, it seems Alyce was in a closed proceedure at I think 1:15 today. From what was said, the Judge ruled that Juan had not crossed the bounds in his questioning of Alyce on another day in closed chambers.

I think Juan stated (in response to Nurmi stating he was calling Juan out as using misconduct or whatever in his questioning of Alyce IN THAT PREVIOUS day in closed chambers)....that whatever was brought out about Alyce was brought out by his questioning her.

If that makes sense, I think Alyce chose to come today vs coming to court tomorrow. Remember Judge S. left it up to her what day Monday or Tuesday she chose to come. Judge S specifically stated today that Juan had not been out of bounds in that previous session of questioning in chambers. And she denied the mistrial on that matter, also.

Minds busy right now so maybe someone can state this better I want to know also what the heck it was about

Beth Karas reported today that ALV was not there, not sure if she's been dismissed?
