Hi everyone, I've been lurking during this trial due to the time difference. I only get to watch the first hour of trial each day & have to rely on archived video for the rest ,when I can, I have watched 70% of Kat on the stand. The urge to leave my thoughts are too great to dismiss so here I go LOL. Kat, what a piece of work, we are yet to hear the truth from her but I do believe her lies have elements of truth in them, unfortunately I don't believe either Kat or Seth will ever reveal what really happened that night. Now onto Attorney Barth, can't stand the guy, gives me the creeps. I find him rude, aggressive & obnoxious. His courtroom demeanour is offensive, he constantly interrupts the judge, the prosecutor & the witnesses. This judge needs to pull him into line, as right now he is prancing around as if he owns the court. The way he slams down documents or snatches documents from the witness is disgusting & I would not be surprised if someone on the jury dislikes his manner as much as I do, he can tone it down & still be just as effective. I'm not a Kat believer, but I question the ethics of Barth's legal office & their dealings with Kat. She came to them for legal advise, coaxed to talk to them by Seth's dad, everyone involved was interested in looking after Seth's interests. How on earth was she not advised not to talk to them without seeking her own legal advise. Barth claimed that he advised her they couldn't act on her behalf because they were representing Seth, that should have been the end of their discussion, period. Had this happened over here, the lawyer involved would have refused to go any further because of the conflict of interest. Yet they talked to her for hours without any legal advise, then had her return for a video taped session where they even asked her to do a demonstration. if I was her mum I would be outraged, that whole process just appears to be so unethical to me. Sorry for the long post but I don't know when I will be able to get on to discuss next.
