2011.06.14 TRIAL Day Eighteen (Afternoon Session)

[cecybeans]

Well LA has hair that is approximately less than one inch long. Good luck trying to test that.

 

[pipkins]

LA pontiac again
SUSTAINED

Baez is desparate to get LA in again

 

[strawberry]

Did I miss something? Is great grandma deceased? Maybe they put her in the trunk of ICA's car to get her to the funeral service?

Maybe SA is calling Shirley to prove she's still alive! Mrs. Plesea, have you ever died?

 

[Pink Panther]

What's he getting at? The Q12 sample had the banding. LA, CA, etc...are all alive. The only one that is dead, is poor Caylee.

 

[Wholehearted]

So why is JB trying to hammer home this point that LA used to own the car? He's not going to figure into their theory, is he? Seems like pure innuendo for the purpose of creating doubt, in a slimy way.

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

5 ah ah ah 5 sustained (I think, I just dropped in)

 

[liltexans]

Juror #2 sits and watches, never ever taking notes. Haven't seen him write anything for weeks.

[CarolinaWoman]

Is she putting you to sleep?

What!! You woke me up!! :floorlaugh:

This is what the jury was dismissed early for and had to twiddle their thumbs for 26 more hours.

 

[smart blonde]

..... proficiency test.... contamination...... insulting FBI experts..... condescending attitude..... objections sustained....... sneaking in misleading questions......

Obviously Baez is cross examining.

 

[wvjules]

Are you serious? This is pretty damaging stuff... She is linking the hair in the trunk to the hair at the scene...
What did you expect?

Yes, I was serious. I don't know what I was expecting honestly. The linking the hairs to both scenes was lost on me. I'm glad I'm not a juror. Maybe trying to read here and watch at the same time is too much for me to process. lol

 

[ExpectingUnicorns]

That's not a yes or no answer!

 

[yllek]

I do think this is important testimony, but not critical after everything that has already been established by other witnesses. However, because she is currently in a management role at the FBI (with Quality Control) and Baez insinuated problems with evidence handling and chain of evidence yesterday, maybe this witness allows the state to further try to connect the hair in the car and at the scene, along with reinforcing the credibility of FBI processes and quality. JMO..

 

[JSR]

Anyone else notice how SUBMISSIVE JB sounds to His Honor today? MM MM MMM

Yeah that might have to do with how much they pissed off the judge yesterday. HHJP made a comment at sidebar that the DT can't be trusted (or words to that affect)

 

[bobloblaw]

Yes but they seem to be relegated to babysitters.

I'd hardly call Ann Finnell (sp) a babysitter...

 

[MaryAnn]

Oh PLEASE Link me!

WOW This clip from yesterday blows my mind! A Must See/Listen!!

[Ssejors]

CT is a quality control officer.

JB questioning her regarding that. JA objecting, HHJBP - Sustained.

Q12.1 there is no indication, or you werent given info as to its history? correct?

CT - no incorrect i do get a history on the evidence.

The history of the case info that you receive is gratuatous info regarding the case and the evidence?

No i do dont think that is true. but i dont use that info base my findings.

But you do read the history?

yes

did that history include the fact that LA once owned the pontiac before ICA did?

objection, sustained.

JB asking something i dont understand

JA objecting because question is vague

Objection overruled

JB - were you given any information about any of the people who could not have been excluded as possible relatives?

CT - Not sure what you mean by information.

 

[The Eunice Burns]

[pipkins]

Baez had nada out the witness

 

[Ada]

Yes but they seem to be relegated to babysitters.

The women on the DT have barely been allowed to say a word. One has been relegated to babysitter for ICA.

But yes, they do seem overall disrespectful.

You owe me a coke! :rocker:
