JA hit another home run

 

[TraceyLeigh]

Did yall hear that...? "nuff said

 

[Wholehearted]

JA is just so good.

How come Casey didn't sit with her baby in the swamp in the dark and rain?

 

[Cherry Baby]

Oh boy, it's story time now! Let me get some cookies and milk!

 

[Americka]

Ashton, that was genius! Casey never tried to protect Caylee in life or in death...

 

[liltexans]

Ashton done. No redirect. She's excused.

YAY @ Judge Perry!

Is the DT as conceited as ICA, thinking it's okay for them to do something but not okay for anyone else? DT has to realize that they opened the door, as you have all said, if they can ask hypothetical questions, so can the prosecution.

Really? "Magical"? This sounds as good as JB's calling ICA's loooong list of non-existent people her "imaginary friends". Ya missed her being declared mentally unfit to stand trial JB, guess you're still trying to make the jurors think, regardless of those findings, that she isn't all there?

 

[sunsetbeach]

Thank god ... it's over. I don't think she helped the defense.

 

[rose222]

What kills me is ICA had a privileged middle class upbringing...she didn't grow up in an orphanage.

Amen to that. I'm sick and tired of how her mother spoiled her and berated her. Casey had a roof over her head, food to eat and parents who were willing to look after her baby also. She was blessed in that regard.

 

[JusticeSeeker1960]

Can I get an AMEN?????????????????

 

[Eidetic]

ICA shakes nods and says; "It doesn't" when Ashton says the bond between mother and child doesn't break even with death.

 

[kaki]

and if you are a sociopath does any of this hold true... how does a sociopath typically grieve?

 

[milliac]

ohhhhh..that mom worried about her child in the rain broke my heart.

 

[grammieto5]

I guess in KC's mind baby CayLEE loved the dark and rain, and the mud!

 

[stg]

Wow, I never knew there was a difference between "magical thinking" and delusions. One in the same if you ask me, from the sound of it.

 

[Blue Ridge]

Recess for the evening... no 7pm tonight.

JA: denial is a common coping mechanism for other things than grief. Such as guilt.

SK: It can be
DS: Object. Witness is not expert in guilt.

SK: People who have not lived up to expectation, have come from a guilt and shame background are quick to go back to guilt.

JA: People may compartmentalize the guilt and think they didn't do the thing they did.

SK: Yes but often they didn't do a thing but still feel guilty.

JA: But you could compartmentalize a horrible act that you did?

DS: Objection as discussed previously

BP: overruled.

SK: there could be grief involved in that but that's not where I would treat patients

JA: so it's not your expertise.

SK: There may just be grief overload. Like parents with children with chronic disabilities who haven't done a thing but they just feel they can't do enough.

JA: Guilt can come from huge acts or small acts like lying.

SK: Right. Another way to look at it is as one way to stay afloat. People may come up with an almost merry discussion about activities.

JA: People have an amazing capability to compartmentalize their activities.

SK: we all have that.

JA: You can convince yourself something is best for everyone even if it isn't

SK: you might not know that if you're convinced

JA: Magical thinking, do you mean actual delusions

SK: No. I had a mother who had lost a child and he has never been out in the rain

JA: Intellectually she knew the child was dead.

SK: Emotionally the desire to protect the little guy was there. I have seen many mothers do unusual things.

JA: You would agree that a bond with a mother and a child is amazing.

SK: it never breaks.

JA: No further questions. Witness excused.
