2011.05.12 Jury Selection Day FOUR (Afternoon Session)

[laura08]

Casey claiming sexual abuse did she ever mention it before Caylees death?

 

[Melanie]

Did Cindy drink during pregnancy...?

My mum did - it was not frowned upon in the 60's. She'd have 1 "highball" at night, and I don't go out and murder people.

I think the question we need to ask is - if she did drink, to what extent?

MOO

[Brattigirle]

A professional Juror, interesting.

 

[logicalgirl]

Sorry,letting my bias (not Baez) show.
Bad experiences.
The ones I know seem pretty far out there when excusing behavior.

No I agree with you - some of them are unbearable - poor poor person - so many reasons they have gone bad...Hah! Forget it. Not going to fly in this case.

 

[21merc7]

All defendant's facing a death penalty have some sort of "brain problem" it seems.... *sigh*

Waste, huge waste!!

Well, yes. Some of us have brain problems of some sort yet don't resort to murder. Somethings got to give, to make it more understandable, less horrid to the jurors that have to know more details, and see photos, hear things that we normally do not have access to. Jury duty on a DP case can be life altering.

 

[tehcloser]

What are the odds of being called for two murder trials..........dang the luck.

 

[21merc7]

Casey claiming sexual abuse did she ever mention it before Caylees death?

To Jesse, but that too may have been to manipulate him.

 

[Rallihanna]

Okay we still going? How many we thru? Just got home from work...

 

[Apex-mom]

2 children 3 grandchildren live in NY state

 

[2goldfish]

it's just.....I dont get why they even bother with "ICA was a good student" for mitigating.


WHY would I care what you did in high school, when you taped your baby's face shut and dumped her like trash? I do not care about your grades in HS. they're actually doing that to attempt to concentrate people to ICA's "youth" only she wasnt in HS at the time...

 

[MissJames]

The defense sure seems to be harping on that. For them 2 drop their mental experts makes NO sense to me. How are they going to bring up brain developmental problems without:

1. Mental experts
2. putting ICA on the stand and let her tell her side of the story

Confoosed.

Mel

No problems in school until the last year,right?

some of my kids had birth moms who drank excessively and we have seen the results. Impulsive behavior from frontal lobe development issues,but you would see that throughout childhood. Bigtime school issues and social problems.Low IQ,but not necessarily MR.

 

[tehcloser]

For some reason this one makes me uncomfortable.

 

[Oakley]

I think Casey has brain damage...I'm not a doctor and I'm certainly not a neurologist. But isn't it obvious?

Brain? No. Soul or spirit? Yes.

 

[logicalgirl]

Just got mine too . . . We may all meet in AA by the time this trial is over :innocent:

I think we're going to be okay unless we are driven to having shots in the morning. :great:

 

[YellowSubmarine]

Okay we still going? How many we thru? Just got home from work...

Sure are . . . . . On the fourth pj :truce:

 

[RavenTrue]

AF and I have 2 very different definitions of "I'll make this short" apparently.

Took the words right out of my mouth...even the enunciation is s. l...o...o..o..w Gawd, make it stop! :floorlaugh:

 

[cluciano63]

I think this woman likes serving on juries...
Former pediatric nurse...
I don't know if she will make it all the way through.
She has smelled dead bodies before.

BBM

The better question is, if they do the bold part why are they not seeing mental health experts?

 

[luckyme]
