2011.05.26 SIDEBAR THREAD Trial Day Three (Evening Edition)

[wenwe4]

Ynot . . I almost lost my bum again . . . just in the nick of time (good thing I have been doing mental lunges for LG)

Whew what a Day! I almost lost all feeds at the most important time of the whole day . . the last 10 minutes!!!!

My fingers are tired, my brain is mush, and I need an adult beverage!!!

OK, thank you all for letting me vent . . . carry on!

Why wasn't the jury listening to Tony's testimony about the "alleged" sexual abuse? I am confused??

Because it was a proffer and off the subject the State questioned Tony L. about. He lives out of state and the Defense would have to bring him back at a later date to question him which means paying his expenses. And Baez reminded the court ICA is indigent. So testimony to be kept and introduced at a later date I guess.

Can anyone explain what that was all about with Lazarro?? Why were they all questioning him with no jury and what will happen with his testimony?

 

[LadyL]

how many witnesses did they get through today?

it seems to be clipping along right now ... much faster than any of my experiences

(well, aside from all the sidebars)

Why do they think GA impeached himself?

making the trial be more about other things----

It was a proffer to the court from the defense.

Technically it wasn't testimony. The DT was trying to "Profer" his depositions and qualify him to testify using heresay of what Casey told him. It failed because she never accused GA of sexually abusing her to Tony.

The more I hear Baez repeatedly asking the same question all I can think of is the prosecutor on Harry's Law, Puck.

 

[bocephus]

Why do they think GA impeached himself?

We don't know unless his GJ testimony is different than his depositions....and the defense can't know this because they have NEVER SEEN THE GRAND JURY TESTIMONY!

 

[elle1919]

I really think the jury needed to hear that from Tony! :waitasec:

Sorry I came in very late and missed what TL said. Did he say he was ever told of the sexual abuse? Because I don't remember reading that in his depos's. Remember the night sweats etc...but not that ICA ever told him about sexual abuse.


ETA just read the post above. DT failed. Okay.

 

[Ssejors]

Why wasn't the jury listening to Tony's testimony about the "alleged" sexual abuse? I am confused??

As far as I know, that whole proffering was to find out WHAT TL was going to say so that when they DO question him in front of the jury they will ALLL know what he will say.

March 17th for the searches, iirc.

 

[Elphaba]

I don't think the A's are working with the defense... the shot of Cindy and George at the end (posted on the trial thread) shows them as I have never seen them before: like they have been hit hard and are hurting, badly.

 

[logicalgirl]

ICA was looking at someone in the gallery, giving a sort of smile to them.... GA/CA??????????? I sure hope not. I'm scared that this is all a farce and the Anthony's are working with the defense right now.

The Anthony's are sitting on the ground floor at the last row in the court room and she cannot see them from where she is sitting. Trust me a smile to them would not be working at this time.:loser:

 

[texaslb218]

CA looked furious. Very animated. I don't think she was making eye contact with G and C. It looked like she was looking at someone at her little exit door. I think she was dying to get out of there.

 

[Puzzler]

Why on earth can they take testimony without a jury present? I am so lost.

 

[Softail]

I am thinking that Casey is so mad at George for his GJ testimony, that this is why she is claiming he sexually abused her. It would be just like her - <modsnip>.

She killed Caylee to spite Cindy.

She really hates them. I just hope they can see it now.

 

[Intermezzo]

It breaks my heart to see what she has done to her family.

And she will continue to do so...
IMO ICA will systematically destroy each and every one of them George, Lee, Cindy..
I wonder if any extended family members are going to be called to try to refute these allegations....aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins...anyone???

 

[gibby207]

Hey peeps! On the trial thread when I said "They are there and listening alright...." I was referring to Cindy and George and not the jury. Sorry if that confused anyone but I couldn't correct the post on that thread as it was closed.

Party on, Wayne! :rocker:

 

[strach304]

It breaks my heart to see what she has done to her family.

Makes me sick. Hopefully we will see justice for that as well. Take a good look Cindy. This is the daughter you thought was so much like you. Now that you know what she was up to after Caylee died still think that? Big difference in how ICA behaved compared to CA when this tragedy unfolded. If Caylee had drowned Casey didn't miss a step in her social life.
