Per the questions asked of HHJP yesterday at the conclusion of court. State indicated they had not entered a display or photograph into evidence yet, but would likely enter it into evidence. What do you think the display is of?
I think the display will be Caylee's body/bones as they were found in the garbage bag. That will be burned into the juror's minds.
As much as JB would like to sugarcoat his client seeing the result of her crime will be dramatic and tearful. Maybe they will play the sunshine video and then cut to the pictures of what happened to her.
From there the state can pick ICA away lie by lie.
The forensic evidence is going to be difficult for some of the jurors to understand so the state is going to have to figure out when the best time to fit it into the testimony is. We want alert jurors!
I think they might want to show a video, or maybe a photo slide show. I have to say, I don't think they should be allowed to show the remains in opening statement. That will come in time, and it will def. get the point across when it does. I just think everything needs to be done fairly, or there will be problems later. MOO

I'm hoping the display is a slide presentation of Caylee ending with the video of Caylee singing "You Are My Sunshine" to her great-grandpa. The would be the perfect introduction to the start of the state's opening statement.
Edited to add...............this would turn the focus to Caylee, where it should be. This is what the trial is all about, a beautiful 2-year-old child that was murdered.
I thought the photos of the remains were already in.
Do you know someplace specific to look for that?
I'm not sure what ICA's reaction will be to images like that. ICA does seem pretty transparent though, so ICA's coldness may be on display for the jury to see.
Are GA and CA going to be in the court? If so they will probably be upset if they see those memories of Caylee. Could be an interesting comparison for the jury.

I have not seen those photos, I have seen the duct tape etc but I am sure I have read it in the evidence (that document is over 500 pages long but interesting)
:doh: I thought that when you were saying that such photos are "in" I thought that you were saying that there was confirmation photos of the remains were "in" the prosecution's opening statement.
Well I went looking for that confirmation anyway and didn't find anything, so that means we do have confirmation... just confirmation that we don't know what will be in the prosecution's opening statements.
I may have confused remains photos with autopsy photos too. They are sealed and the state wanted them in.
