Wow. This case is just nuts. It's really hard for me to believe he accidentally shot her and then requested they go to Emory instead of somewhere closer. It seems like it must be deliberate. I've been in an emergency situation in a car before where dh and I were considering a hospital farther away. But when it was clear how bad I was doing dh immediately took me to the closest hospital instead. I just don't think Tex and Dani Jo are stupid people

So I'm baffled by Dani Jo as well. I guess if she's driving she'd just assume he'd handle any phone calls etc. And she'd not be expected to grab her phone out of her purse while driving. And I'd guess she would assume she should follow and go to wherever Tex told her to drive since it was his wife. But why did she never ask him, "Are you sure we shouldn't go to a closer hospital? Don't you think you should call the hospital and let them know she's been shot and we are on our way?" It's very hard for me to believe she never thought to ask him anything or suggest anything other than follow his advice to drive 15 min to Emory.

Thanks a bunch for the tweets YESorNO - sure helps in keeping up with this trial!!

:yourock:

 

[turaj]

wondering why no one is commenting on or discussing this trial. I am finding it very interesting ...a Desperate Housewives of sorts...I mean you can't make up some of the people in this case of characters. Bottom line based on the ability of pros. attorney I have to think "Tex" could walk. The victim told the doc it was an accident which I find odd...I don't think this was the first time "Tex" pulled a gun on her.

 

[turaj]

would love comments from attys or other trial watchers on this state attorney..I am watching his questions of the ER Doc that talked with Diane...he writes every thing on this board which is nonsense...even the doc says "he needs a scribe"...I mean talk about time consuming...and he not only writes it he repeats each and every thing the dr. says. He drives me crazy.

I'm watching this trial. It started off very slowly but is getting more interesting. I have no idea whether Tex is guilty of murder or not. I don't think the prosecution has done that well so far.
