I wanted more but I think he was only supposed to react on what JW has said. Still, out of all his closing arguments, this was the one I also expected a little more from.
Personally, I would not want my child wearing a wig made from inmates' hair... especially one in particular...
You forgot torturing dogs.
The entire allocation was self serving - even from the beginning when she talked about her mom seeing The Alexander siblings in the car next to her while idling at a stop light. JA said something to the effect like "I realized they were hurting BECAUSE OF ME." Also the part where she talked about Stephen talking about the 3 by 5 card where Travis was to call him that day -yet he never got that call. JA says again - all because of "me". YET - she never followed that up by saying something like "and for that I am deeply sorry". It's almost like she was taking pride in the fact that "because of me" they were hurting. That set me off right away. I listened to her allocation a 2nd time and every single thing stood out to me as self serving. The whole thing was just lame. It gets even lamer when you listen to it a 2nd time around.
I caught that....it was mere tackiness.
Yes she was reminding the jury she is special, she would be teaching those inmates, not be one of them. For crying out loud, a recycling program? Does she think she is Brubaker sent in to reform the prison?
I must admit I did laugh when she was doing the powerpoint of her paintings and she said 'that's Frank Sinatra ... that's Elvis' lol :floorlaugh:
