2011.06.15 TRIAL Day Nineteen (Morning Session)

[Sleuth5]

Exactly, and they can't unring the statement they made that Caylee drowned that day accidently. They can't support that either.

As for the other statements about GA and LA and Kronk, if they don't address them the jury might just be left scratching their heads and saying to themselves, but wait didn't they say...

I see placing KC at the scene as a mistake. JMHO. I see the statement of accidental drowning as an affirmative defense and they've already said it...so how can you unsay it?

JMHO

ITA. There are few alternatives for the DT, having boxed themselves into a corner in this case. None of their options look good. The story as presented in their OS is not evidence and the jury will be instructed to disregard it -- that leaves only testimony from ICA as a remedy. However, even were they foolish enough to attempt that move, they would open the door to all sorts of countermeasures by the SAO -- cross examination would be brutal and destroy her in short order, but there's also the possibility that the DT would inadvertently grant an opening to introduce the six felony convictions as probative of the jury disregarding her testimony (as though that would be necessary!).

They can't have it both ways. If there was an accidental drowning, their defendant is going to have to take the stand and come clean with yet a new and improved story, this time offered as a genuine confession and eliminating the involvement of everyone else. The statement would have to include the duct tape and some explanation for it. I mean, that's the only way out -- and it wouldn't work anyway.

:cow:

Judge seems tired.

[FaerieB]

She sits SO still I sometimes think the Casey Cam is frozen. LOL!

 

[Macushla]

Uh oh Defense theory or theories?

 

[Salem]

Serrano correctly lays out the analysis for a Motion for Acquittal. And then another case?

I can't type fast enough!

 

[TotallyObsessed]

This tweet made me happy.

LDB taking careful notes while HHJP is speaking. JA is listening and has his hands in a prayer type position.

I've had the same thought.

 

[mollymil23]

I love how many times the word denied and denial are cited.

 

[Celt1997]

Denied, since the State does not have to disprove every theory. That is the job of the jury.

 

[Nali87]

Are y'all listening!? I'm going to have to find this case and put it my signature!!

 

[NavySubMom]

The DT made their own bed with their opening statement, now they must lie in it.

 

[Turnadot]

*flooded with relief*

 

[darcedarce]

ICA actually looks like she thought she was going to get an acquittal.

 

[Horace Finklestein]

Astonishing how the vocabulary and descriptions change when the jury is gone. Something needs to change in our legal system.

 

[lajones81]

I'm terrified for Judge Perry's response, right now!

 

[Nali87]

Judge says it's not states job to rebut every theory of death.

 

[Anais]

ICA is pizzed, can hardly catch her breathe. She knows it is a denial by HHJBP!
