Having heard the tapes & seen the videos before the trial have, I suppose, dulled me to some of their impact but clearly the jury will be as stunned as everyone else hearing them for the first time.
The things I didn't know before hand have really stuck with me. There was a moment during Ricardo's testimony that has stuck in my head & speaks to the type of 'parent' this woman was: Caylee slept in the bed with her & her boyfriend. This really hasn't been remarked upon but for me it was a 'whoa !' moment.
Also, the complete meltdown of Dr S on cross accusing the Medical Examiner of staging the photos of Caylee's skull & hair left me speachless. Just such a stunning moment that had to have left the jury disgusted.
The defense showing all the photos of garbage from the crime scene was heartbreaking. How is it possible for the entire team of defense lawyers to be so obtuse as to not realize how disturbing & revolting that was ? Up to that point who knew it was a 'garbage dump' ? How can they be so desensitized to the fact they are talking about a little girl ? My God they even have their experts calling her a "sub adult".
Most impactful was Cindy's testimony. She made Caylee real, made her alive. She was Caylee's voice in the court room & her grief is a real grief of real love for a real little girl. It remains the only time during the trial were I could sense this little girls presence. Caylee is & always will be alive in her loving grandmother's heart & she became alive again when Cindy spoke.
