:great: Finished with my case this AM....Ya gotta LOVE miserable rain delays & traffic "issues" that bother the defense side and stress them out asking for a D E L A Y !...SOOOOOOOOOOO heading for 6A and a special hiding spot to observe & "report" prn!
Have been informed that there WILL BE FAMILY victim statements! Jennifer's parents and sister HAVE submitted written statements!
:rocker: Super fantastic.....LEOs who worked the case "snuck" in also....Judge Blue is usually a stickler for "all persons SEATED" but.... IMHO, think he's closing an eye or two today....at least so far :innocent:
THIS courtroom is MOBBED! even some "journalists" can't get in....ruffled egos abound! :floorlaugh:
FYI: no issue with seating arrangements re: fiance, she's a class act and takes a place a row behind the immediate family! But received by WELL by ALL!
:truce: For what it's worth, JK does have family present.............his aunt & uncle however, his uncle has been very vocal regarding the need for him to accept responsibility for his actions. Also the uncle has been in contact with the Petit foundatin and even today is communicating with and essentially standing with the victims' rights stand.
Oh yeah, the 3 defense Esquires are present & posturing.
GASP even on a DVD..........the impact is profound! Rev. Hawke brought it down to earth with the impact of the inspiration of the words of "the Weight" from the Band and the concept of him providing the funeral services of 2 generations of his own family in his first triple funeral! WICKED disgusted by the insult of the defense attys over the derogatory term utilized "Petit posse" regarding the family wearing the foundation pins. Komis WAS watching!!!!!!!!!
Mrs awke: brief but to the point: your behavior was blamed on your past which has now wreaked a nightmare onto our lives....you had opportunities and people who tried to HELP you!
She's sharing what her older sister was to her....everything! and what she meant to her......everything
She's shared about that phone call with the news...and tried to describe what it was like to tour the home & the residual memory of the charred smell & sight & essential PTSD AND the impact of the physical conditions of her family.
She's shared what HER children discovered about their cousins' & aunt's death via the internet & the psychological trauma. Survivors guilt has hit ALL fmily members! and financial impact too.
Finally....HE (JK) is NOW accountable for HIS actions
3 Marshalls around JK...but he is watchin each speaker
Bill Petit, Sr. is speaking...HIGHLY emotional...gathered self...."lost the Bill we knew" he puts on a good face, wasn't sure he should be alive, dstraught....can only see the grands at the cemetary, denied future dreams......(I can't finish transcribing...too weepy!)
Johanna speaking.............This woman has STRENGTH....bet she'll come out with ANGER along with her rememberances....she was a STAR when she need to be a ROCK (she was the one who had to officially ID the bodies)
YEP...........she's claiming that JK set the tone...that HE chose the home, if HE just wanted $$$$$ then they would have moved on to another house, that he set the torture of Bill & the girls for HOURS & that HE beat a SLEEPING amn with a baseball bat! YEP
AND then the defense continued the BS by the "Petit posse" garbage!
OH YEAH, the BEST THING......remember that the defense smothered th court with JK's growing up pictures?..............wellllllllllll, during these statements.....we're seeing a fantastic FUNCTIONAL FAMILY slide show
I see from various Twitter feeds that Dr. Petit is sharing what he loved and misses about his family. I would not be able to keep a dry eye. This is one of the most horrific cases I've ever seen.
Dr. Petit STANDS! will talk about HIS family....not himself!
He's sharing that his "girls" (my words rather than type) would ask fo strength to deal with that which was given to then rather than demand from GOd a change to PERFECT. That they would try to DO for others rather than for themselves, that he & Jen were team, it's heartbreaking 'cause what he mises most is the NORMAL stuff!
JK is NOT staring at Dr. Petit, rather glancing over off & on.
"Audience" is sharing small smiles over some points, the L O V E of the family is overwhelming!
I LOST MY PAST and WHAT WAS TO BE MY FUTURE!
Sums it up......and out of the court they go! WILL NOT LISTEN TO JK!
Defense attorney Jeremiah Donovan addressing court. Usually he's a fantastic orator bu this time.................I's wicked biased AGAINST anything out of his mouth....including CO2!
OMG...He's arguing against the DP in general...using RACIAL BIAS with WHITE VICTIMS and that they are "Attractive" and media savy!
