A long day in Lancaster - Roberto Dager was everything we expected and more...
Dager would have the jury believe that Stacey Barker is a young, stupid, immature young woman who made a mistake when her baby accidentally smothered and she did not call 911, she did not take her to a hospital, she did not even stop her car for 45 minutes to check on her - after she stopped breathing - accidentally.
He called her those names and more today during his closing.
Dager called out Witness X by his given name - then apologized when Ms Cromer objected. He meant to say John Doe... Stacey Barker was an immature little girl sending X love letters, like a 15 year old, trying on X's last name. She just isn't very worldly - book smart, not street smart, he said.
Stacey Barker was brought up by abusive alcoholics - she's quiet and emotionally stifled because of this - stoic is the word he used.
Anthony was not ready to be a father, so somehow it's his fault Emma died.
To demonstrate how people react differently to stress; Dager told a little story about his own 2 year old daughter, playing in the rack at a local discount store - she came out choking on a button and he claims her mother froze in her tracks - his daughter would be dead today if it were not for his heroic actions, jumping in to save his daughter, as bystanders rallied around her mother. (His EX-WIFE who passed away last year and cannot defend herself)
If Stacey Barker is guilty why was she not charged with lying to LEOs and desecration of a corpse?
Why didn't the state have Stacey Barker examined by psychologists?
[B]Pat Tillman - gave up a lucrative football career to defend our country -[/B] so the jury needs to find Stacey Barker "Not guilty". I kid you not, that's what he said...
When Dager was done, Kelly Cromer came back and told the jury he's just trying to confuse you with things that mean nothing. She was able to put everything in perspective and told the jury to ask for any clarification they find they need.
The jury began deliberating just before 2 PM - at 4:30 they were sent home for the night.
Ange and Tori both said several jurors looked very upset while leaving court. One was openly weeping in the hall, being supported by other jurors as they left.
How does this relate?
Why on Earth did he toss in Pat Tillman's name?? Hero vs Murderer = NOTHING alike... :waitasec:
YEAH!!!!! Hopefully by tomorrow morning when court is back in session, these jurors had a good night's sleep and will start their day off by convicting this momster.....For some odd reason, with all the similarities to the CMA case, It would be great KARMIC JUSTICE for her to be found guilty on the first day of ICA's trial.............................:great:
Thank you again LCM for all of your awesome posts!!! :tyou: I have kept up with both sites and you know we have been in this from the beginning together. :heartluv: Thanks for not letting life stop you from keeping us informed.Thank you my friend!! :applause: I think its wonderful how we all fell in love with Emma and were able to visit her final resting place. You are my hero....
Hopefully next we will see an arrest warrant for BB and his involvement in the murder of Emma Barker. BOTH him and SB have shown they are guiltier than sin and should rot away together. May Anthony's family find some closure at the end of this , and as for the B's..........I dont know WHAT to wish them..:sick:
Stacey Barker was just convicted of FIRST DEGREE MURDER!! And FOUND GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS!
RIP EMMA LEIGH BARKER - KNOWING YOU ARE LOVED!
Sentencing is June 17th.
The jurors asked to hear Dr Ribe's and the PnR guard's testimony again. Then came back with a verdict on one charge, not realizing they needed to find her guilty (or not) on all charges. They went back to the jury room and I swear we were all thinking mistrial - we were thinking 11 to 1 and someone with their own agenda was holding out.
I'm so glad to say we were wrong and this jury knocked it out of the park for precious Emma! 25 months and one day after her (long awaited) arrest, SB found out NO ONE BELIEVED HER BULL CHIT STORY!!!
One of he jurors leaned back and made eye contact with Anthony when the verdict was read - she smiled at him.
Once I stopped crying I have not been able to stop smiling!!!! :great: :great:

Thank you for asking! I looked it up first thing:
190 (a) Every person guilty of murder in the first degree shall be punished by death, imprisonment in the state prison for life without the possibility of parole, or imprisonment in the state prison for a term of 25 years to life.
Assault on a Child Causing Death 273ab. Any person who, having the care or custody of a child who is under eight years of age, assaults the child by means of force that to a reasonable person would be likely to produce great bodily injury, resulting in the child's death, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 25 years to life.
Child Abuse 273a.(a) Any person who, under circumstances or conditions likely to produce great bodily harm or death, willfully causes or permits any child to suffer, or inflicts thereon unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering, or having the care or custody of any child, willfully causes or permits the person or health of that child to be injured, or willfully causes or permits that child to be placed in a situation where his or her person or health is endangered.
A child abuse charge in CA is considered a "wobbler" (can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the facts in the case) if prosecuted as a misdemeanor shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year and a $6000 fine, if prosecuted as a felony and there is a conviction the penalty is in the state prison for two, four, or six years. (SB's charge is a felony)
Judge Zackey was very choked up today and thanked the jury for their service and hard work. He praised them for all sticking it through.
I'm guessing she is going to get LIFE.
BTW SB showed no emotion as the verdict was read. NONE! Her parents and brother were there today, they bowed their heads and beat a hasty exit. Her grands cried.
SB must just be kicking herself tonight for not taking the 15 year deal offered by the state over a year ago...
And YES SB, WE ALL KNOW YOU"RE NOT A GOOD MOTHER!
BB was not in court today!
At lunchtime "someone" from the SA's office was speaking with an attorney who was headed to a local "eating establishment" this "someone" was heard to say, "I know someone who won't be working there much longer." :innocent:
CUT FOR LENGTH
