As we wait today, on perpetual verdict vigil, I'm grateful to be able to follow this crime to trial with all of you. Some kind of virtual strength in numbers. Thoughtful posts, hard truths, gallows humor, tailored soundtracks -- something of an Irish wake, coping and coming to terms and celebrating and grieving, looking back and looking forward. It would be impossible to follow true crime -- the depth of human deplority -- without an air of levity. Pressure cooker balance.
It is altogether disconcerting that we, total strangers to JFd, take this trial more seriously than the defendant, with her selfie phone and eyedrops. Altoid Schmaltoid, woman is a void. Avoid, devoid void.
I hope today is the day she gets hers.
