I remember the COA saying that sending the media to an overflow room could have been an option used. So JSS could do that. But ugh isn't the DT tired of playing these games and wasting everybody's time?
NO!!!

Does anyone else think her sister Angela will speak on her behalf today?
Whoa, slow down Hun, breath.
The judge isn't giving her LWP, I promise. Thats not her motive here. Her motive is to give the defense everything to avoid appeal issues.
And besides, it's not even going to be an issue.
This jury is going to give her death, AND YOU CAN MARK MY WORDS ON THAT.
Hope4More, chances of you being right on DT forfeiting the last 3 witnesses just went up.
I guess JW saw the light after Dr. F's "Don't trust those Mormons, Don't trust those Mormons over there" blunder.
:seeya: I am trying to "breathe" ... lol .. but I am so pizzed at this Judge right now.
JMO but I am not buying this "appeals issue" excuses any more. And IF you are play "cards" you will know what I mean by this: You can't play scared ! You'll lose ... and that's what JSS is doing: she is playing "scared."
BBM: I hope you are right ... Oh, I hope you are right on that one !
:moo:

Imo that was Willmott's blunder. She spoon fed him everything and he just followed along.
I'm still shocked that we may have closing arguments tomorrow. Wowzers.
ok so possibly no cameras in the court? The overflow room would be to simply Listen to her allocution in that case?
Again, the COA said judge could send everyone to the media room. So yeah, I'm gonna defend that. It sounds like she put a firm foot down on sealing the allocution. It the COA left that door open. I'm sure the media would be fine as long as they know what's going on.
Me too, I left to run errands as soon as they called recess till 1:30, just got back and caught up on the tweets, so what I gather is JA will allocute this afternoon with media and gallery moved to the overflow room and closing arguments will be tomorrow - do I have the gist of what's being said or supposed?
Very often, symptoms of personality disorders are evident by teens and early adulthood. They *can* manifest later but it isn't as common. Still, some people go literally decades before being diagnosed if they are at all. There's a large spectrum in personality disorders - some people are relatively functional for a long time and others have their lives imploding so much so they're forced to get help.
I really can't fault Bill and Sandy for what I'm guilty of myself. Ignorance, love, hope. When you don't know that someone you love is personality disordered you're literally racking your brain trying to explain their actions and behaviors. And when that loved one is subjecting you to near constant psychological abuse, it's very difficult to maintain perspective. You find yourself enabling them and rationalizing their behavior, caught on a roller coaster of ups and downs, without knowing how you got there or how to get off the ride.
I'm there with my teen daughter right now. Because her dad is personality disordered, and there is some research to suggest there *may* be a genetic link, I'm hyper-sensitive to any traits she displays that may be consistent with PD. Unfortunately, that's exactly where we're at now - she's displaying a lot of borderline symptoms. So, back to counseling we go. But we're only there because I know what to look for and her dad was dx'd. If there wasn't that history, I'm not sure how much I would chalk up to 'normal' teenage drama since, even knowing what I know, I hope and pray I'm wrong on my suspicions and it is indeed just normal teenage drama. I'm not Bill or Sandy but I do understand how scary it is to have a teen in a full on rage and threatening their sibling; I do understand the hurt and confusion that no matter how much you love them and no matter what you do for them, it never seems to be enough for them to feel loved; I do understand the pain and anger of being manipulated, lied to, and verbally abused by your own child. And unfortunately, I do absolutely understand the revolving ride of being hopeful when she's happy or behaving 'normally' and hopeless when she's not.
It's a really yucky place for a parent to be.
JMO and FWIW
