You're not comparing like with like though. Surviving adult victims capable of id'ing their attacker, for immediate starters. DNA for seconds. There are thirds and fourths and fifths...
It really would. Also, the idea that she should be sitting in the dock weeping and wailing over the babies and families is imo at best unrealistic and at worst beyond ludicrous. If I were sitting on that jury and LL was permanently on the point of teary collapse over the fate of the victims, I'd be side-eyeing her big time.
Well, the prosecution constructed a very good case against her so I presume they'll frame their questioning in a way that leaves her with little room for manoeuvre. If LL is vague, if she fails to properly address whatever questions/points they put to her, if she comes across as less than cooperative, that's not going to help her one bit as far as the jury is concerned.
This is her last chance to be heard before her fate is decided. The ball is as much in her court as it is in the prosecution's.
But I would say that the fact she's taken the stand suggests that she's fully aware of what's at stake here so...
