2011.06.16 TRIAL Day Twenty (Morning Session)

[nerdy]

What little sign did Baezzzzzzz just give to Mason at the D table? Like a quick 3x tap tap tap on his upper right shoulder. Anyone see that? Like a baseball sign or something.

He was testing his mic, I believe.

 

[Dr.Fessel]

Am I the only one who thinks that what she just stated, that there was a tiny amount of "X", "X" being female, on the shovel, that it helps the state?

:waitasec:

The state is worried somewhere down the line Jose is going to say the FBI did not perform more test to confirm this DNA on the shovel.

 

[ebedeeb]

ICA sneezed....no need for tissue

 

[SleuthyMama]

I always figured she tried by leaving trash/garbage in the car hoping it would overpower the decomp smell :twocents:

Just like I think she left the car at Amscot next to the dumpster for the same reason.

 

[darnudes]

HAZAH! ICA just sneezed, first time in court in 3 years, "Daddy" just sent her a msg - You're not getting away with murder

 

[TakeNote]

now jb asking about the duct tape

 

[redcar1]

Does anyone else feel this line of questioning is completely meaningless? I feel like the DT had nothing scheduled for today and called on her to talk forensic jibberish!

Does anyone have any idea as to where this will actually lead the DT? (Besides take them up to a lunch break?)

JMO

 

[smart blonde]

Anyone think the defense team has actually settled on a defense yet?

lol.

 

[JSR]

why would dna exist on the shovel but no where else?

Because no Anthony family member had access to it to clean it.

I really think the Anthony family did a good job of cleaning the car once they got possession of it.

 

[TiaM]

Duct tape? What the heck happened to the shovel? Did we leave it back in TL's jeep? I've got whiplash.

 

[summerthyme]

Did JA win that sidebar by JB moving on?

 

[momshrink]

I have not been following closely - working with the tv on, but I need to take something for a huge headache at this point. Thanks so much for commentary and pictures - you are all brave and dedicated souls, I just cannot watch this.

 

[Mountain_Kat]

JB going for the old "no blood/no dna on duct tape".

Okay...but does he think the jurors don't recall the flooding, the months and months the body was exposed to the elements?

 

[Linda7NJ]

Duct tape? What the heck happened to the shovel? Did we leave it back in TL's jeep? I've got whiplash.

She returned it to the neighbor

 

[jmfstl]

I'm just getting here............who is the FBI expert on the stand?

Heather Seubert she is a DNA expert former FBI for the DT

 

[TakeNote]

:laugh:

HAZAH! ICA just sneezed, first time in court in 3 years, "Daddy" just sent her a msg.
