[mombomb]

LOL - looks like HHJBP is going to just stay at Sidebar waiting for the next one

LOL. Oh good lord with CM's confused nonsense.

I LOVE that this witness fought back at CM.

Bold mine.

Matt C.: That's an open-ended question. hehehahalolol

 

[MD MOMMY]

I think the court reporter needed to know how to type MC's snort/sigh.

 

[Amster]

I bet the jurors are furious!

 

[3doglady]

Dang My electricity went out and I missed the whole exchange with CM.

 

[Intermezzo]

Did the witness just SCOFF? I believed he SCOFFED at CM....LOL.

yes...I do believe you are correct...he did Scoff at CM :floorlaugh:

I have been surprised by every single witness. Casey rarley ever had Caylee. I wonder where Caylee was all these times, she couldn't have been with George and Cindy all the time because of their work schedules.

I was thinking that too. Every one of them said they met Caylee maybe once or twice. Then Baez thinks it's some big thing that they never saw Caylee "tortured". So which is it? Is KC a devoted mother who's always with her child and never torturing her? Or are all of these people completely irrelevant because they barely met Caylee and didn't actually see her die.

The defense is playing silly little games in MO, little tit for tat games. By asking all those questions of these witnesses about whether or not they knew when, where, how Caylee died, they are trying to prove a point about the SA bringing them in as witnesses...in their view (the DT) there is no point to them being up there because they dont know anything about the MURDER so they have nothing to offer. Kind of childish....

I've never heard CM speak before and I was very taken aback by his domineering tone. WOAH! Loved that Crisp laughed.

ETA: Geez...I cannot spell today!

 

[doogiesgirl]

I can't believe I actually missed what just happened! Every time I try to watch the live link at wftv...my computer shuts itself off!

Anyway....what happened?

MOO

Defense opening statement (paraphrased): she was molested from childhood, learned to carry on as if nothing was wrong, desensitized to trauma, lying and acting "normal" became second nature to her. This assertion was impressed on the jury by the infamous/shocking sentence in DT opening.

Given the above, every witness for the State who has testified as to her appearing "normal", happy etc.. every witness who has testified to her lying about something (job, daughter whereabouts, future living conditions) ... all of this testimony (90% of the testimony so far) does nothing to contradict the DT assertion and in fact supports it.

The State had obviously intended to provide a multitude of witnesses to testify that she appeared unaffected by her daughter's death, but the DT shot a hole in that boat before the first witnesses were called. Same with the 31 days, its lost its relevance unless the State can can remove any reasonable doubt from the DT assertion(s) - and that won't be a trivial matter. IMO, there is a difference between no detectable change in behavior whatsoever (what we've heard to date), and small hints of something amiss. The former tends to support the DT story (conditioned to compartmentalize via trauma).

Aside from the effect of the testimony re: her disposition and behavior (neutral at best without anything else) the rest of the testimony from these particular witnesses thus far has additionally elicited that: no one could smell anything like decomp from the trunk, that (for the most part) she was at an attentive and/or loving mother, she was a light drinker, and she kept her relationship with her parents (and brother) as far away as possible from her friends/love interests both in the character of those relationships and the overlap. "Ever met her parents?", "No".

This is the State's case in chief, but its helping build the case for the defense, perhaps moreso than the State's...at least so far.

I think the jury is probably getting a sense of ICA after this afternoon's Parade Of Men (Hallelujah Parade of Men Amen....)

I sit here and think if ICA did not state that she was conducting her own investigation during those 31 days...we probably wouldn't be seeing all these witnesses testifying to what she was doing during that time...

 

[Darla]

CM asks if he knows anything about how this child died, the witness says, "That's an open ended question - What are you asking me?"

The witness must have thought CM was asking his opinion. LOL

CM isn't that old. Why does he always make reference to that?

Wonder if there's anyone keeping an official count?! LOL.....maybe that's part of paralegal Casey's duties.
