a view from the inside: observations from our own court observers #9

[katiecoolady]

KCL, God bless you and get some rest for Pete's sake. I thought the other night when you were posting to us while you were visiting your father was beyond the call of duty. We love you and don't want you getting sick over this. She isn't worth it.

Thanks buckeyefan. I really appreciate the sensitivity. Sometimes it's so much pressure to get notes done etc that I forget really my primary goal is to support the family. I've eaten my lunch in my car most days than not during the last few weeks rushing to the courthouse, etc. My job is very demanding lately and have people coming from out of State to do intensive therapy with me. Of course my Dad and brother are always needing something. And although I'm a strong person the emotional toll of this is affecting me. I appreciate the support and sensitivity. I can barely keep my eyes open and heading in to another work day. Anyway....I'll watch on the feed with everyone else like a normal person today. Thanks again.

I have found sometimes that the hardest part of any trial in life (pun intended) is when the pressure lets up a little and there seems to be an end in sight. That's when fatigue sets in, I think -- when we feel like we can let our guard down a little and there's a crack in that wall of strength we've built to get through the really tough times. Maybe you're feeling that? I wouldn't be surprised if the family is feeling it, too. Take good care, get some rest in this "eye of the storm" and you be ready to roll again when needed!

KCL, I hope you get some rest. Big hugs to you! ((((((((())))))))))))

katiecoolady , I'm glad you and Travis's family will have a long break. Please take advantage of it! All of you will need it, some rough days ahead. Stay in your jammies all weekend if you can!

Ok, to quote HLN, I'm putting my tears on pause after reading this and will resume when Ihave a moment to release them. That's exactly what's going on. Thank you for being sensitive enough to share that. xo

Dearest KCL, Buckeye fan is sooo right! You will be no help to anyone if you don't take care of yourself. As much as we want you here, you have to be first in your priorities, then your family, and then anything else that is important to you. We know you are checking in on us often and are helping to support the Alexander family for all of us. We love and appreciate ALL you do! Get some rest, sweet lady!

I usually fall apart once a crisis is over... ALV was a crisis for sure... Knowing it's now in Juan's hands helps but the DT is still there waiting to pounce... try to rest as best you can.

PASA... praying for you and your family.

How does Jodi look today?

Sending prayers for peace and strength to both KCL and PASA We have your back even tho it's from a long distance. Have to go to work now but I'm with you WS'ers in spirit.

 

[FerdieM]

Many thanks to both PASA and KCL - I am thinking of both of you. Please do take the time to recover from all the ups and downs this trial has been. It is important to focus on what is really important and to take a breather.

I remember with the CA trial (I am not comparing the two), I spent many days in the house watching the trial and missed many beautiful days. I rushed to my son's school and rushed back barely paying attention to anything else. I made a promise at the end of that trial that I would never spend my days that way again... So with this trial I do what I can... and thanks to both of you ladies, I always know what is happening Maybe some day I will be able to repay the favor by attending a local trial here in CT and post the info....

Hugs.

How does Jodi look today?

Jodi looks more rested today. Her hair is not tied up in bows and bands. She has a bit of color to her skin. She seems to be paying more attention today too. So far I haven't seen her drawing/coloring. She has been staring intently at the witness (Dr. DeM).....these are just my observations. I am sure others will report what they see as well.

 

[AlwaysShocked]

KCL: Glad to see you are mature enough to recognize when you are getting close to the point of overload and to take action - meaning letting up a bit and getting rest.

While it is nice to have the observations from inside the courtroom, I doubt any of us would want to have that at the expense of anyone's health/well being.

Besides, you deserve a day at home in your jammies like the rest of us!

I was in the a. m. session yesterday and was sitting next to a Canadian gal. She mentioned that she thought juror 12, Neil was making her nervous, like she doesn't trust him.
I saw jurors 8 and 9 taking notes during the PDS testimony and CEO put a question in the box. Jurors 6 and 8 looked at gallery a few times.
Snickers in the gallery a few times when JW tried to challenge JD on her CV. Also when JD tells JW that she is confusing the scales.
Dimarti was wonderful IMO.

 

[Kattrca]

KCL I was a paramedic specialist for several years, I would feel like I was walking down a flight of stairs with a wrecking ball on my shoulders after my shift. You have to decompress and you have to keep in sight who you are and what love your family brings to you. You do not need to appease us, as truly this is all out of curiosity, you owe us nothing, however you do owe yourself, your loved ones and those you support to be the best you can be. Peace upon you.

I have some friends in court today I could have swore I heard " stuff " not sure what it was when Dr.D said well he's not alive, I heard background noise maybe of shock that someone finally said, I will report if they heard or saw anything.

Hi KCL, it definitely sounds like you could use some downtime.....don't forget that if you get sick everyone is out of luck. You are a sweetheart. Take care of yourself.

Will you be posting to us any information that your court friends give you today? If so, thanks in advance!

 

[ScarlettScarpetta]

I hope that you enjoy the day and rest. I can not thank you enough for all you do for us. You have already given so very much. My favorite posts are how you support Travis' family.

Have a peaceful day!

Yippeee!! I loved it just now when Dr. DeMarte answered Wilmott with "My notes are very clear for what Ms. Arias told me" when Wilmott tried to trip her up on what she knew about all of JA's boyfriends! Go Dr. DeM.!
