[reasonable]

Too bad the jury can't ask for a copy of JB's opening statement to make a check list for what he should have covered and see how many items aren't checked off by anyone's testimony.

Oh, the state will remind them!!

I missed a lot today, I just couldn't handle it. My heart actually hurt for George. I don't care what goes on in his love life. This man not only lost his granddaughter, he lost the will to live. It was heartbreaking to watch.

I hope the jury dislikes JB as much as I do. Grr.

 

[Eidetic]

Now we know why Lippman has been phrasing things the way he has regarding what his clients think about ICA guilt. Besides legal technicalities, George finally believes Casey murdered Caylee.

just sent husband out for a six pack of my favorite summer brew. Need it after all this crap.

Maybe you should call him and tell him to make it a 24

Does anyone know if RK owes a lot of back child support for this son of his?
That could cause a LOT of resentment, and if it is true, the mom probably let her son remember this every day.

Jean Casarez just indirectly said on HLN, JB gives all defense attorneys a bad name.

I always think I learn more when I do my own homework.

Aside from his own son trying to toss him under the bus, I think Roy is coming across nicely. Baez's arguments are folly. mo

My opinion on RK......................I think RK may have following this case with the same interest of us here at WS, probably reading the daily articles in the local newspaper and on television.

After finding the remains in August and being dressed down by Deputy Cain, tropical storm Faye hit and from that point on the remains were under water, so he couldn't go back and find them again. But as he reflected on what he saw, and as he saw in the local media that the remains hadn't been found, he convinced himself that he was right - that what he found in August was Caylee's remains.

When he spoke to his son in November, around Thanksgiving, he was fairly positive that once the water receded he would find those remains again, and he was bragging to his son that he was going to be famous.

This was a son whom RK had been estranged from for a long time, since Brandon was 8-years-old. RK wanted his son to be proud of him and to look at him as a hero.

I don't think RK did anything other than wanting his son to look up to him as son who was proud of his dad. If RK and his son have just met for the first time at the courthouse, I hope they can spend a few days together and have a good reunion.

I still don't see why it means that Casey has to be innocent if RK had taken the skull in August and hidden it somewhere.

Is there some kind of universal physical law that states that you can only take the skulls of drowned people and not murdered ones?

I do understand if he didn't want to say he had put his stick in the eye socket of the skull because it seems like an insensitive thing to do.

Exactly! I don't care if RK found this skull in August or whatever. There's no evidence whatsoever that he murdered this child. There are mountains of evidence that Casey did, however. Yes, a lot of that evidence is circumstantial, but IMO, it still points to nobody other than Casey. Casey had the motive, the time, and was the last person seen with the victim. The DT must think that the public is stupid when they try to float these insane theories around the courtroom. They should have worked harder to just get their client to admit to what she did instead of keeping up this charade.

After GA's testimony this morning and then the rebuttal by the State think the Kronk/son stuff will be something resolved and the jury will see it for what it was when in deliberation. Life experience will temper this JB rehash.

 

[*JMO*]

Listening to RK's son made me feel sad.

Maybe they had some potential to reconcile the past before now.
I am sure there are enough past hurts and emotional baggage to heal between them that have nothing to do with this trial that maybe they could have worked through on their own.
Maybe RK was calling his son and bragging and trying to impress him. I can see that happening.
But, I doubt if either one of them ever visualized a reunion like the one provided courtesy of ICA.

Jean Casarez just indirectly said on HLN, JB gives all defense attorneys a bad name.

She's also said as a lawyer she was like him. Oops.

 

[JustMeDeb]

You've got nerve. Aren't you the one who stole my ramen while I was in the shower? :wink:

Can I interest you in a block of Velveta?

 

[What'sThatClue]

After all this, if I were one of those jurors I'd be thinking, if I ever see a skull I'll just keep on walkin'....
(of course, I wouldn't...but I'd be thinking it!)

 

[~n/t~]

Wasn't the defense supposed to rest their case today? I hope Judge Perry keeps them there until whatever hour so they can finish TODAY! :maddening:
