I feel bad for her as well.
it appeared one of the attorneys (Brad) had his gf/fiancee sit next to her, but you could tell they didn't even really know each other.

Padron's father had to be taken to a hospital earlier in the day. Just heard Johnny say he is doing better.

That is good news.

Where is Softail???

I do too.


Thanks for all of the updates I slept through. Watching the victim impact statements now. Bawling like a baby. :cry:

This jury did the right thing. There is no question who committed this assassination. :gavel:

OMG! Amy Padron is breaking my heart.

It really says something when your EX doesn't even have anything bad to say about you. She has NEVER to my knowledge had anything bad to say about Jaime.

Daniel sentenced to death in Officer Padron slaying

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Brandon Daniel was sentenced to death by lethal injection late Friday for the killing of Austin Police Officer Jaime Padron.

The sentence was handed down at 11:23 p.m. after more than eight hours of deliberations and nine days of testimony.

“You are a coward and I hope you rot in hell,” Johnny Padron, Jaime’s older brother, said in a brief statement to Daniel following the sentence.

Amy Padron, Jaime’s ex-wife, also took the stand after the sentence was handed down, giving an emotion-packed speech where she read letters from her 8 and 12-year-old daughters.

“You made me cry,” one of the letters read. “Now it is your time to cry in prison for the rest of your life.”

So glad I stayed up for the verdict.

Meant to ask last night. Was BD's mother ever in the courtroom? I never saw her, but heard the recorded phone calls between BD and his mother and she sounded like a real piece of work!:twocents:

No. She never showed up. Chris Sadeghi (reporter) said that she probably didn't show up, because of the way the defense portrayed her.

Thank you all for the wonderful posts. I was out of town all week and missed the entire penalty phase. I spent all day today watching all the video I could. Because of your comments, I was able to zero in on the key witnesses. I'm in closing arguments now.

I am so pleased that there is a jury that can vote unanimously for death. Had he gotten life, BD would have enjoyed playing his games till the day he died.

Right now, my heart is with the family and friends of Jaime Padron and my prayers go out to them all as well.

Ok guys, what one are we watching next?
