2011.05.17 Jury Selection DAY EIGHT (Afternoon Session)

[Marina2]

JB states that he cannot, in good conscience, continue with questioning of this juror.

 

[laura08]

That speaks alot the lady praying for Casey, as many have said they felt she was guilty and so forth she never shared a tear, this lady brought real tears to Casey eyes. Bless this lady!

 

[MelissaLee]

WOW!!!! JB rolling his eyes when HHJP said "They ARE human beings" in mentioning he has to figure out what to tell the Jurors who've been waiting all this time.

What a total (unmentionable for fear of the time out!). GRRRRRRRRRRR!

 

[GourmetSoy]

That poor lady, I just want to hug her. I'm glad she was excused, I really don't think she could have handled seeing all the evidence against ICA. She would have broken down.

 

[GiantPickle]

can someone tell me if that is a strike or if she is released the same way as a person who had a hardship?

and

whoa - go HHJP. "they are human beings"

 

[my2sense]

She made ME cry, and I'm a hard a%%$

 

[RR0004]

She is a nice perosn and proberly a good christian woman, but I don't feel she would be good on the jury.

Plus...I really think she wants to go to Philadelphia...and I'm serious.

 

[Shyla]

I hear they will deal with that after the jury is sworn in...but I got that from HLN.

Thank you so very much!

 

[ebedeeb]

That last juror was heartbreaking. Just heartbreaking. I need the 5 min. recess after that.

 

[Blue Jackets fan]

WOW!! Praying for Mercy for ICA!!! Oh My!!:maddening:

A lot of devout christians belive that no matter what crime he/she has done they are still still "a soul worth saving."
It does say 'Love your enemies and pray for them."

 

[lowens1975]

Bless his heart. What is he going to tell the 11 people sitting out there waiting. They are human beings. That does it, I don't think he can get any higher in my book.

 

[Lera213]

That speaks alot the lady praying for Casey, as many have said they felt she was guilty and so forth she never shared a tear, this lady brought real tears to Casey eyes. Bless her.

Casey has tears when it is about her only! No pity for ICA from me.

 

[GetSmart]

shhhhhhh "please remain seated"

 

[cluciano63]

No strike used by either side, judge dismissed.

 

[MD MOMMY]

I need a big glass of wine...I'm pushed over the edge LOL.

 

[Blue Jackets fan]

Bless his heart. What is he going to tell the 11 people sitting out there waiting. They are human beings. That does it, I don't think he can get any higher in my book.

Right now, I'm getting to be really ticked off at Beaz.

 

[wenwe4]

anyone have a good link to the video of the courtroom? I appear to have lost mine and others are not playing nice!

 

[ebedeeb]

Please remain seated....

JA: yeah mines a big one.

 

[Cherry Baby]

These are the days that I feel the most like a mom. It's the normal stuff you have to do, drag a kid to the oral surgeon for some fine wisdom teeth extraction. Drop off the prescriptions to be picked up later. Lined up with her teachers about the homework during her school absence. Prop up the pillows for her to drag her groggy body over to the couch and lean up on. Plan the soft meals out for the next couple of days. Watch over her because even though she is nearly sixteen and is everything that comes with that, surly, obnoxious at times, arguementative, shares very little of my taste in music or movies - she is my baby, forever my baby and I am her mother.

ICA threw that away. I know not everyone is meant to be a mother, we see that time and time again, and not everybody wants kids. Nothing wrong with that. However she was given a gift, and she treated that gift in the worst way possible.

All the DT moves and motions and inquiries and questioning and bluster will not change that this is for Caylee. Strangers have more affection and love for a child than her mother or DT ever will.

 

[strach304]

The Juror feels bad about the whole situation, which she cannot put aside (her feelings). She believes her feelings would affect her ability to render a verdict against KC. She said honestly, she's been praying for KC (her voice cracked) and prays for mercy for her. Doesn't want to be a part of this.

KC starts to tear up, nose getting red. Paying rapt attention now.

Aside: Odd that she had no similar reaction when PJ's were mentionig Caylee's "corpse" or being "discarded".

SA is challenging this PJ.

Not surprising at all! We are getting so used to this! ICA really is predictable.
