Can you say STRIKE!?

It says a lot about the accused when you realize that these sweet traits are a threat to her. :sigh:

 

[Leila]

no none

except for JB text to beth c.

but thats not exactly an explanation

Thanks! Hopefully we'll find out someday what was going on.

 

[momtective]

She's staying! YAY!

 

[ebedeeb]

oooohhhh no challenges at this time.....whoo hoo, we have 14.

 

[lowens1975]

Rut roh! Server slowing down...at least for me.

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

ok - were going to play wait till we get the strikes for the alternates

 

[Patty G]

Did the State say "no challenges" for 3140?

 

[Bon]

I thin I just read ICA's lips...I think she said "I don't think I like her."

Well that's just to darn bad!!!:great:

 

[luvmy4brats]

Can I have a quick update... Last I saw, the male teacher was on.... Any strikes used or anybody else make it through?

 

[coco puff]

The defense is waiting to see if there is anyone worse than her before they strike.

 

[costalpilot]

I believe in the DP 100%. It would be hard decision to make and it's hard to have these people think on the spot like this. She may have reasons, just couldn't come up with any at the moment. I personally think that child predators should be sentenced to death... they are basically murdering the soul of these children, but I could also recommend LWOP for someone who has committed murder. It all depends on the circumstances.

well those are opinions you hold about it.

she says she holds none, doesn't believe anything about the DP, pro or con

but then she says she is a ten on AF's scale on "how inclined would you be to impose the DP. from a scale of 1 to 10. "


noones asking her to "come up" with them on the spot. just if she has ANY. you have some and believe in it 100%. that I get.

her, I do not.

 

[atthelake]

Her hearing aid might be a problem in the court for 6 weeks trying to hear evidence.

Respectfully disagree. Issues were microphone interference MOO.

[SurfieTX]

Respectfully disagree. Issues were microphone interference MOO.

The trial will be televised and there will be mics in the courtroom. I guess it depends on where she sits in the jury box and how close/far a mic is to her.

Swearing in at 2.30 tomorrow. Jury transport on Sunday to Orlando per HHJP. 5 min recess for DT and SA to discuss bringing in more prospects from jury room.
