Cobbins, Thomas defense attnys here for setting of dates for motions 4 new trials. Those r automatic

Tho Vanessa convicted on 17 counts, many r alternative theories so we're only sentencing on 6 actual crimes

Ok everybody's in the house including Vanessa. Here comes the judge!

 

[SuziQ]

These poor parents have a year or more of appeals to sit through.

 

[TigressPen]

I hope VC gets the max sentence allowed!

 

[SuziQ]

Deena is up.

 

[SuziQ]

Deena called her an evil monster.

Picking apart Nessa's own words. Repeating the diary quotes.

 

[SuziQ]

Reminding Nessa in graphic detail what her "adventure" was.

 

[wvjules]

Go Deena! She sounds more angry this time than previous times.

 

[TigressPen]

I am thrilled she is reading Vanessa's own words back to her!!!

I still believe Vanessa was the one who kicked Channon in her personal...

Here's dates on new trial motions - Cobbins 1/28, Davidson 2/19, Thomas, 3/25, Coleman 5/27

Since Vanessa now not convicted killer but facilitator taxpayers only on hook 4 1 attny from here on out

That's because death cases require 2 attorneys. Facilitation convictions mean no longer death case of course

Deena takes direct aim at Coleman, reading from her journal on "adventure" stuff she wrote

 

[SuziQ]

No emotion from Nessa. Complete flat effect.

 

[SuziQ]

Nessa smirking.

 

[wvjules]

Awesome job Deena.

 

[SuziQ]

Deena said maybe consecutive sentences will wipe that smile off your face.

Gary on stand now.

 

[wvjules]

Powerful staredown by Gary to VC. If looks could kill....

Deena - "I guess u wanted souvenirs from ur adventure" on Vanessa having Channon's stuff

Deena asks for top sentence. "Maybe that will knoc smile off ur face,' she says

 

[SuziQ]

Gosh, anyone else's heart pounding?

 

[TigressPen]

Gary's slow direct words has put tears to my eyes. He is stressing every word.

 

[wvjules]

Gary breaks my heart and terrifies me at the same time!

I wish they did a split screen of VC and Gary. I would love to see her face right now.

Gary - judge, media, community all agree crimes were most evil deeds in memory

Gary - "there r cries for justice not only in our community but all over world"

So far Gary is remarkably restrained. It's actually a more powerful plea that way. U feel not his rage but his pain
