2011.06.29 Sidebar Thread (Trial Day Thirty-One)

[Etilema]

I wonder if they anyone on the jury has experience with suicide (knowing someone who committed it or attempted to). When I was 18 I worked in a daycare. One day, one of the fathers came in to pick up his kids. He was in a really good mood and he gave one of the lady's a bottle of hot sauce that they had talked about months prior, she was saying she couldn't find it anywhere in the stores. Also, he was extra talkative with all of us, asking us questions and telling us how much he appreciated all we did for his children, etc. The next day his wife came in and told us her husband had attempted suicide after he picked up his kids from the daycare. They were watching TV and he went downstairs and hung himself. He was saved before actually succeeding, but he did cause some brain damage and was in the hospital for a long time after...
All that being said, I swear his final day seemed like a 'goodbye' to us all. Getting the hot sauce he knew the girl wanted, telling us how much he appreciates all we do. I understood what George meant when he said he was saying goodbye without actually saying it.

That is so terribly sad! And, yes, I think that what George described about that rang true.

A man apparently yelled at Judge Perry and is now standing before him.

just want to say again.. logic has much bearing.. GA on 1+1=2 to me that says CASEY.
I hope the Jury doesnt overthink things and look at simple facts.

I've been following this case from the very beginning, but Baez' obsession with the duct tape on the gas can is going right over my head. I don't understand it, because Casey had the same access to any duct tape in the house or shed that George did. Can someone help me out?

Interesting that you mention this...because George was right IIRC...many here thought Casey gave the can back with duct tape. George IMO was at one point attempting to cover for his daughter when he said he put it on to prevent gas odor from leaking. Jose is using the As words against them...when in reality I think he steered them in the direction of telling mistruths from the getgo.

here is the afternoon trial thread: 2011.06.29 TRIAL Day Thirty-one (Afternoon Session) - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community

doors are closing... move on over:rocker:

I think she wants to testify. I believe she thinks she can talk her way outta anything....including this. All the way to the end of the Universal Studio hallway. If she takes the stand, her lawyers will make sure everyone knows it was over their objection. I personally hope she gets her way. And the Prosecutors rip her sorry butt to next Sunday and back and then rip her to shreds.

She will "walk to the end of the hall". She will insist on testifying, attempt to tell yet another of her stories and then and only then, when all else fails, attempt to plea.

Oh, you're still waiting to hear the defense of the Opening Statement. I see. Good luck with that. :wink:

OT - Dinner tonight will be a loaf of white bread, a tub of smart balance for dipping, and paper towels.

 

[JustMeDeb]

Ok correct me if I am wrong. Did JB ever ask RK what he did with the bag of remains that he supposedly took from the scene? That was in OS right?

 

[Lovejac]

Wow, wow, wow, wow!!!

What a day. I have been watching all morning but haven't had time to get on the computer.

George A's testimony................ heartwrenching

 

[KariKae]

Poor Casey...Cute married guy in the courtroom and she is wearing ruffles.

 

[Sleuth5]

You know, it is a difficult day for restraining impulse. However, I am determined to remain a free man, having only recently spent some time in lockdown via timeout. :wink:

Paper towels are delicious

Oh Dear God, I think we all need a Special Recess. This is brutal.

Can we just skip ahead to the sentencing ,please?

This is all JB has. Recalling the same witnesses over and over. I am beginning to doubt that ICA will testify at this point!!
