:gthanks: atthelake, I was wondering why the thread was so quiet! I registered for "Google Alerts" on this case, and JUST today got the stuff that you mention above! Kind of "late" on those alerts, they are!! I'll make a note - and check back in December!
:seeya:
:grouphug: to my Caylee thread buddy! Good to see you over here Niner.
There has been a gag order on this case, and there are no sunshine laws!
This case is NOTHING like the Caylee case or DrewP case - as is pretty much local in interest.
Funny that InSession put Hemy on twice, but no one I have talked to locally knows of this case, unless I say "Dunwoody Daycare" then they :waitasec: as they can't really recall it. (yes, I'm in Atlanta where this occurred, living about 4 miles from Andrea)
There was perhaps 500 times more interest (off in numbers of course - was just saying that for impact!) in Dekalb County Georgia for Sandusky/Anthony etc cases. In the past, more folks in Dekalb county have discussed Sandusky/Anthony at cocktail parties, or even a teeny bit of Trayvon Martin, but hardly ANYONE knows of this trial/case other than :waitasec: moment. So, change of venue is a joke in even mentioning or reading about I think. Unless you speak to someone from the Jewish community (which I am not) and they will give you STRONGLY their opinion as this is an atrocity and she has been banished from their community in the area where we live
(hint to Jury Consultant for defendant - use your peremptory dismissals those that are Jewish...... Batson challenges in Dekalb county!)
NOTE TO MY WS FRIENDS: That is NOT a slam to religion, but a legal presentation for excluding a juror!
(I cannot attest to..just sayin' from a Jewish friend so consider heresay.......not in evidence, lol)
It's a hoot that folks think that they may do a change of venue on other threads and blogs. :floorlaugh: They are saying on non-WS threads that just because jurors may have HEARD OF THIS CASE........they would be excluded. Boy, do they have potential to review WS cases. Even DREWpeeeeeeeeee didn't have a change of venue!
I guess I am getting more cynical these days? As there is no publicity in comparison for making the community in a whole think they are affected by this decision as they were with the others. It appears now that the defense/friends of Andrea are coming out more in blogs/threads/ Facebook these days to get their message out as the lawyers in Georgia have a gag order on this due to the judge issuing such.
What is interesting in this case now, is that the media is quoting, and then the blogs are stating as fact assumptions from quips they have heard. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Glad to be posting here at WS!

ETA: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH, Go to the Caylee thread. It's been quiet there lately.........no trolls there~! (Referring to Amazon ones of course - and not to anyone who is currently on *vacation* Gosh love the mods for that !!!!) :angel:
