[Cherry Baby]

Oh well now, here is something that ICA can relate to - checks!

 

[Patty G]

It's sunny on the west coast of Florida, at least where I am about 45 minutes south of Clearwater.

 

[wenwe4]

Just sayin . . . I think little Caylee is sounding an alarm to get this pot. juror dismissed . . .this lady has bad check charges against her (iirc)

 

[tut med]

I can see it now a tornado, with a fire in the court house and a clown streaker in the court room......

 

[whiteangora]

Most likely Tornado Siren testing
Ours are tested once a month, on a clear day, at Noon.

Ours are tested every Wed @3:30 pm

 

[QueenD]

Was that a tornado siren?

If anything it would be hurricane warning.

 

[sleutherontheside]

Siren goes off every Friday at noon... for a test.

[kathyn2]

I don't care for this juror. She is not straight talking. Doesn't seem to understand. Seems to have been involved on the wrong side of the law and had a druggy husband she never divorced. I think she may favor the defense. I hope the State strikes her.

 

[wonders]

This P/J reminds me of Tracy M. but without the nervous laughter.

 

[adb263]

Here in Indiana we test the tornado sirens every Friday at 11:00

 

[epiphany]

Husband in prison for most of their marriage. Died in prison last year.

 

[Aedrys]

she's been accused of bounced checks.

Yikes.

Oh isn't she right up Casey's alley?

And by the way, hurricane season starts June 1st. Maybe they're testing the sirens in preparation for that? Here in Oklahoma, they test the tornado sirens every Saturday at noon.

God, please, don't let a hurricane disrupt this trial!

 

[Blue Jackets fan]

Tornado siren testing. We have them all the time around here, usually at 1pm.

Same here in Columbus Ohio on Weds.

 

[Malini2001]

I'm thinking this PJ must have been the one LDB brought up yesterday...I think she found the bad check charges and wanted to dismiss her.
