2011.06.18 TRIAL Day Twenty-two (Morning Session Only)

[beach]

I am sorry but his testimony is helping the SA case I think. He just said several things to bolster the SA case. One, that the body was there months and months and months and he admitted that the duct tape was on the face. He can go on and on about no this or that on the tape. JA will not have much to do with the witness to get him to agree with the SA conclusions...

I agree. I think Cheney Mason is wishing he could shush him up. He gives far too lengthy and wordy narratives. This is not turning out as CM had hoped. lol

 

[Ricki]

Anyone else notice her head bobbing?

Thoughts?

I think she may be tapping her legs under the table.

 

[passionflower]

I saw an actual tear. She's getting better at this...

maybe they got smart and put an onion in her tissue..............had to say that, bad me. I better sit on hands now!

 

[21merc7]

Anyone else notice her head bobbing?

Thoughts?

Jiggling feet under table, focusing on creating emotion thought necessary

 

[BritsKate]

The roots and the hair held the duct tape in place per WS.

Nothing on bones to suggest duct tape. Oh my.

Feels duct tape was placed to HOLD the lower jaw in place - post mortem. Oh my.

 

[mydailyopinions]

And I am so sure that someone would go through all that trouble to put duct tape on skeletal remains that no one wants found, just to hold the mandible in place. Really?

Insanity at it's finest.

 

[Oakley]

Is he implying the duct tape was placed post-mortem? Both Dr G and I think Dr Haskell (not sure there) opined that it was applied pre-mortem.

 

[Ssejors]

DR. WS saying the duct tape was placed there to hold the jaw in place.

 

[Mountain_Kat]

Witness: there was no damage. There was some damage to the bone but that was from the people who did the autopsy. He thought they opened it to take specimens from the bone marrow.

JA: objection
overruled

he thought they opened the bone to get the, to get the, to get the certain material that would be helpful but he learned that would not be the case. UM. SO. based on this examination the death remained unknown for those who did the examination.

Not a shred of soft tissue. no skin no...

he brought a bunch of gloves an apron he was worried he would get contaminated. He is happy about the skull he is holding. It will not get him sick. Three year old child. He did not need the supplies he brought.

He claims there was NO TAPE. AT ALL with the body when he saw it.

I assume because it had already been collected as evidence. So he couldn't examine the skull exactly as it was found when recovered. Interesting.

 

[MaryAnn]

Duck Tape put on to hold Caylee's lower jaw in place? I don't think ICA cared about her jaw

 

[Chiquita71]

There was no flesh on the face, so the duct tape could not have been stuck to her. That is what I am hearing.

If you put tape on a smooth JAR, he is going to show us now....it will not stick. SEE. SEE?

 

[katydid23]

So this duct tape was placed there to keep the lower jaw in place????????

HOW does that help the defense? I don't think it does.

 

[mck16]

Does he know that CA's little body lay in a swamp for 6 months?

 

[Steely Dan]

I can't wait either!

I just saw an actual tear on Casey's cheek!

BBM

Oh geeze - she's crying now (sort of) - that'll be all over the msm

I saw an actual tear. She's getting better at this...

I actually saw a tear! o_o

Does the prison library have books on acting?

ICA must be thinking - Jose! HHJP is going to punish ME because of YOU? WTH?

Oh, maybe that explains it.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

#CaseyAnthony Spitz definitely connecting with jury.by bobkealing via twitter at 8:53 AM

 

[Cherry Baby]

This business about the duct tape is mute to me - if there was no dna traces due to the conditions I don't find there would have been any skin left on the duct tape.

As the Rocky Horror particpants say - Same room, different lights, cheap movie. Once again cross should be very interesting.

 

[grandmaj]

So this witness in his testimony about roots growing into the bones has bolstered the State's case that Caylee was there for many months.

 

[susan1122]

Seems to me that ICA cry's with bones and foliage. Bugs and Pigs don't bother her at all. JMO

And I've noticed she always cries when someone calls her a good mother. Which seems like some twisted form of "poor me". Like she believes she is a martyr. She has said she is a victim, too, right? Anyone have any opinions on that? I'd love to hear.

 

[Reality Orlando]

Either holding the jaw or over the face...either way it would have skin cells...that makes no sense.

 

[KathrynL]

I'm just now thinking that KC manages some tears for this kind testimony because it brings to mind what a shocker it was when someone actually found where she dumped her daughter's body. :cow:
