trial day 45: the defense continues its case in chief #136

[Applejack]

I read somewhere at the very beginning of this case the amount of money it takes for ONE hour of court. By that, I mean the cost of the court room, judge, all the bailiffs, court reporters, and the minutia it takes to run a courtroom. Does anyone remember that figure, or that article?
The cost that is right this moment being wasted, but still charged to the good folks of AZ.

This is part of the court process, it's not "being wasted."

Yay!

 

[JSR]

My guess is that either side is fighting like hell to keep out a particular juror question.

 

[Chelly]

I lost a long post for Chelly and the other WS wanting info on attending court. I will PM her later today when the board calms down.

Thank you. Appreciate it. Ohhhh we are back

O/T

I am making dinner from a recipe on the WS Recipe Trial Thread. If it sucks, my son will never allow me to come here again. If it's awesome, he will cut me some JA Trial slack. raying: Sherry Chicken Casserole. It better be good! :floorlaugh:

That is good! I make that one, and even added it to the family cookbook I made for my daughter.

The defense is just stalling so they have a recess to have more time to prep ALV. Those questions must be doozies!

 

[pferrin]

Is JA going to plead out? What's going on?

Why not pass by the silly posts and not the interesting ones then?
Without the more lighthearted posts I don't know that I would be able to read here very much, it would just be too depressing. MOO

Right? If a post does not interest me I just scroll on past it..No biggie

I think you have slightly misread/misinterpreted my post.

I preceded my description of Arias/LaViolette's 'image' of Arias as 'teeny tiny' with the words, 'The Fantasy', (e.g just part of the fairy story Arias has crafted about herself and the murder, with the partial help of LaViolette).

I also clearly stated 'There is no evidence whatsoever that any closet interlude occurred'.

If you re-read I hope you'll see what I mean. It was kind of long and convoluted compared to what I originally set out to say, so no problem from my POV except I'm sorry if I confused you or you mistook me for an Arias apologist of some kind.

You did that so well. Really. That same thing happened to me last night, and I didn't handle it with nearly as much grace as you. I will do better. Thanks

Finally! I was hoping when I posted that she would call it a day, they would be back!

So I think we can all assume the jury didn't react well to the latest witness according to the DT. Maybe the questions were so bad Nurmi is trying to have all the jurors thrown off. Please let this be questions and not another delay..
