Nope, in fact I think my post may have started the discussion. While I am a huge admirer of JM, I did notice how everyone responding to my 'wish' for more character testimony about her, talked about how well he destroyed the DT's evidence. Yes he did, and yes that is my exact point. The DT turned this trial into what a TA supposedly was and how the state hid *advertiser censored* evidence that proved that, etc. I do understand those things needed to be addressed but the case against mitigation that (IMO) was put on the back burner to defend DT's accusations, is the fact that she is not some poor mentally ill little girl that snapped because of TA's abuse. She is a cold blooded, manipulative, vengeful destructive person convicted of an especially cruel and premeditated murder. Her character, IMO, was not fully enough defined for *this* jury, because of the other issues. We even have members here asking questions about whether her BPD may have caused her to be unable to handle TA, and one or two saying they for the first time felt kind of sorry for her. If that happened to members here - who do know all there probably is to know about JA - what is this jury going to think? They hopefully realize that the DT's allegations of *advertiser censored* and abuse are BS, but do they really know who she is? That's the part I'm a little uneasy about now that JM is resting his case.
