Defense using Dani Jo as a sounding board, IMO-telling the "story" of Tex/Diane's wonderful life and just describing everything the way he wants then asking Dani Jo “right?” at the end of every statement . Everything was "peachy" that day before Diane died- just like JFK's "Camelot"...:sheesh:

 

[YESorNO]

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 like him.....- he's thorough, methodical- maybe he'll use the writing board with everyone's answers at the closing?

Thanks for all the great info YESorNO. I agree with you.
The defence seems to be suggesting that there is no way such a perfect husband could kill his wife-which we all know is nonsense-in fact I think he went overboard almost painting Tex as a put-upon husband; describing him as slaving away in the kitchen while the girls enjoyed themselves.

That has to be the most damning piece of evidence I think we'll see. I'd read they drove by other hospitals but that map shows how they were literally right by Grady, passing multiple other hospitals and THE most out of the way hospital was the one they went to?? Wow. He is guilty as sin. He really wanted to make sure she didn't make it......

Also offering to let Dani Jo ease up payment on money she owed Diane? Starting to catalogue her jewelry within days of her death? I'm wondering if he had a ton of other debt besides the $350,000 they say he owed his wife.

I saw the video last night of her arriving at the hospital and was struck by how awkward and ridiculous it looked. They came out with a wheelchair and couldn't even get her feet in the wheelchair foot placements so one person was holding each awkward leg in the air as they wheeled her in? They still had no idea she'd been shot, was in shock and needed to be on a stretcher?

 

[steve temple]

Surely the defence will say that he had been drinking,did not realise how seriously she was hurt as there was no blood, did not know how to get to the other hospitals as well as he knew how to get to Emery and was afraid of getting lost therefor he took her to the hospital he knew well taking the route he knew well.

Personally I wouldn't buy he knew how to get to Emory from there but none of the other hospitals including the closer Emory hospital. Even IF he could claim all that he didn't call the hospital to even let them know they were bringing in a gun shot victim. Having used one of those Emory hospitals recently while not being terribly familiar with the area I'd find it baloney. It's not that hard. There are signs everywhere telling you of hospitals etc. And he never once used his phone to look up directions or call? And then asked Danni Jo to lie for him about how he got there etc? I mean I'm sure you are right that they'll use that for a defense. But if I were on the jury I'd not buy it.

 

[beatrixpotter]

They took that left on Edgewood Ave SE and you'd turn left right off that to get to Grady. I'd have to go drive there myself to prove it but I'd wager there are almost certainly signs right there on that road indicating Grady.

The problem is that on the 3D photographic journey thing they have been using there were no hospital signs on the route and the prosecution took the jury along every part of the route. Dani Jo said she saw the blue hospital signs only when they were very close to Emory. Surely if there had been signs on route the prosecution would have pointed them out.

I guess it's possible! But I'm just certainly surprised if there weren't. I've had two children in the last few years down at Emory Midtown and have also gone to the other Emory she was taken to, multiple times in the last few years. Once for surgery and a couple of specialists visits. The routes my husband and I took (though not the one they took) did have signs for Grady and Children's Healthcare. I wouldn't think the way they took was that out of the way.

And I'd find it hard to believe someone would actually know their way to Emory University Hospital from the area and not have any idea of the others they were passing by. Where she was taken is a much more confusing area in my experience to figure out. So many Emory related buildings all over the place. But they were supposedly more aware of that and how to get there?

We only go down in that area a few times a year. So how do people with multiple homes down in Atlanta and traveling not infrequently down there have no idea the closest hospitals? Earlier in the thread his lawyer is quoted as saying that homeless people are known to congregate in the area, as a reason for him pulling out his gun to begin with. So he knows enough rumors to find it not safe in the area but doesn't know what's actually in the area like the three nearest hospitals along their route?

Couple that with no working phones supposedly...it's just not believable to me at all.
