2011.06.29 Sidebar Thread (Trial Day Thirty-One)

I read somewhere on here that LDB was crying...is this true and if so anyone know why?

somebody replayed it and said probably just heavy eye rubbing from the strain

hope she is okay

I think it's foolish for the defense to end with her. But I'm still interested in what she's going to say. In the end, I don't judge George for anything he did during that time, he was anguished and distraught. He wrote things in his suicide note that he couldn't say to Cindy face to face - that says a lot about their relationship. If he didn't feel the support from Cindy that he needed at that time, I don't blame him for latching on to someone who was willing to give him an ear and a shoulder to cry on.

That's all I have to say about that.

At that time, I think George would have done anything to try and lessen the pain. If it happened, I don't hold it against him at all.

While George testified

Dang it! I'm a sap! One pic like that of George and Cindy and I forgive her for every lie she has told! :banghead:

Thank you for reminding us there is more than one victim here. :tyou:

 

[Turnadot]

LKB says defense needs to show us why ICA became a killer !!!! she accepts that it was murder???

Whatever happened to 'She didn't kill her kid.' ?

LKB...lol

I read somewhere on here that LDB was crying...is this true and if so anyone know why?

After the grief lady left, I saw her and Jeff standing talking, and I saw Linda wiping at her eyes, both of them, several times. She certainly wasn't sobbing, but I wondered if she was teared up from the story about the lost child and the rain. Just a speculation, don't know.

 

[sissyjane]

That was the first true crime novel for me as well. I was in my early 20s. I re-read that book yearly, it still has a chilling effect on me.

My first true crime book was Small Sacrifices about Diane Downs, who killed one of her children and horribly wounded the other two. She was so much like Casey Anthony...

 

[pinkfly]

now Lkb says we are not going to hear the whole story about this case.

she does not think JB will mention sexual abuse in closing.....well, duh !!!

 

[PMLsmom]

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

Ha, ha - just went and got an 18...grief(ologist) made me do it...

 

[BritsKate]

Anybody think Baez may be, ahem, 'misrepresenting' when he will be done to the judge so no one thinks Casey will take the stand? I know he is a pillar of honesty and all but...

The defense has desperately tried to have her testify through other witnesses to no avail - she is the only one who can "corroborate" sexual abuse and the accident. I don't see how the DT can prove anything in their OS without her testimony.

 

[Gma Kat]

THank goodness LKB is toned down today. Maybe she is trying to rehabilitate herself for the next trial!!!

 

[MargoD]

I feel like I've been punched in the stomach really hard. I couldn't let my son's body go so his ashes are here at home. Someday he'll be buried with me.
Paul, my only child, died suddenly, peacefully and naturally three and a half years ago at age 22. I know some people here have lost a most precious loved one through violence--you have my heart.

At times like this I like to imagine JP holding Caylee on his lap, chuckling like a big ol grandpa and protecting her from all the evil in the world. I just can't believe that the jury isn't seeing the truth.

 

[GiantPickle]

Ok well I gotta go out in the real world for a little while - I can't stop crying.

And I don't know these people !

The pain that ***** has put these people thru is just beyond comprehension !

JUST SO SHE COULD PARTY !!!!!!!!

uke: !!!!!!!!

 

[Intermezzo]

I can't believe we're nearing the end of this case. I remember watching live online coverage of KC's perp walk in the blue hoodie.

Same here turnadot
I will never forget watching the local news and hearing about a missing child then the coverage of the childs mother (ICA) walking thru the door at OCSO in the blue hoodie, and IMO trying to withhold a smile from the cameras

 

[SeaNymph]

LKB says defense needs to show us why ICA became a killer !!!! she accepts that it was murder???

You know it was a BAD day for the defense when LKB says it 'falls somewhere between 1st degree and Manslaughter.'

 

[LyndyLoo]

How was she moved by his testimony if she was out in hall waiting her turn how does she know what even happened in the courtroom????? I think she's just looking for a way out.

Could be mom..maybe she was just watching a monitor and didnt hear the words and saw George lose it, and KC stone faced!!..Either way..IF DT calls her to impeach George they may be very sorry!!..

BTW of course she wants a way out..She is a known predator..and takes advantage of things for her own gain..so she knows full well that her history is going to be exposed!!

In a backward way I actually hope DT calls her (River C/Ms. Holloway)..They are batting a 1000 with their witnesses including experts..Myyyyy> I sure wish I was a fly on the wall watching those jurors:innocent:

 

[summerthyme]

Ga: 1+1 = 2

 

[JBounds]

I'm glad some of you are listening to LKB cause I sure can't.

 

[pinkfly]

My first true crime book was Small Sacrifices about Diane Downs, who killed one of her children and horribly wounded the other two. She was so much like Casey Anthony...

mine too and I keep thinking about the prosecutor (I think() who adopted the surviving 2 kids.

 

[Leila]

George and the suicide note Leila?

Yes...........I certainly think George and the suicide note will be part of the rebuttal if HHBP allows the suicide note in. If, for any reason the judge doesn't allow the note, I think the state will still include George.

:hug:

You sharing your experience reminded me of a photo (real photo not staged) that I saw early on after the war had begun.

http://memoirsfromnam.blogspot.com/2010/12/final-goodbye.html

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story.

Well ,I hung on to anger all day and kept sobbing at bay ,until that picture and story ,darn it.

I can't say I was holding up well,but I didn't sound like an injured animal until we were leaving the funeral home ,after my son's wake,and one of my daughter's and my husband went to close the casket. No way were they shutting my baby up in there .
You really do have to compartmentalize grief to live day to day.
