LE didn't collect that shovel from BB I think until a few days later?

I thought it was longer than that. But either way...the neighbors hair was on the shovel. OOooh...maybe HE killed Caylee, huh?

JB using this witness to try to discredit Dr. Vass.

 

[Amster]

May be helpful for those who haven't read it...the discovery about the sticker residue, stickers found in ICA's room. We've heard testimony from one FBI examiner who saw it. I imagine we will hear from the 2nd one in the states rebuttal.

 

[Rapunzel]

Which shovel is this, the one Casey borrowed from a neighbor?

Yes, and the sticker was already there, it was a sticker for the shovel...prolly had a zebra code on it...something like that.

Any opinions on whether Caylee was conscious or unconscious when her mother wrapped her little face in duct tape?

And her lawyer's opening statement.

Baez told the jury that KC was present when Caylee drowned on the 16th.

It doesn't matter that it's not evidence, the jury remembers him saying that, yet he's done all in his power to distance KC from Caylee's body when he should be putting on a defense that explains his opening statement.

So far, he's made very little headway today. KC deserves better than this. He's used her to get his mug on TV and get famous, then he starts off with a limp, meaningless defense. I'm disgusted.

I feel he doesn't care if she's convicted, he got what he wanted.

Actually, juries are instructed that they are not to regard what is said in OS as 'evidence'. I agree with you, she's got bad representation but she's not a celebrity (in like how we think of one) to afford a 'dream' team or else this might be a different trial.

There is a reason why guys like OJ, MJ and that baretta guy (forgot the name) got off and it wasn't just because the jury wasn't any good. What do they all have in common?

It is always 5 o'clock somewhere right??? It's only 1:30 here but it might be time for happy hour ....

This is excruciating.

Huh? Is JB trying to get this FBI guy to say something about Dr. Vass's research lab?

 

[Robyn623]

[Mz.Harleywood]

Tomorrow looks like a good day to get that blood test I've been putting off for 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wholehearted]

JA rattling off questions to prove the hair is meaningless.

 

[Beyond Belief]
