a view from the inside: observations from our own court observers #3

[hollyjokers]

She didn't display any sign of shock or surprise on the 3 cans in SLC question. She immediately turned to jury & opened her mouth as if she had her answer ready. Could be she knew Nurmi would object & buy her more time. But no outward surprise or shaking like a chihuahua.

KCL, I respect that you won't violate the family's confidence but I would love to hear what they thought of some of juror's questions, particularly the "hypothetical" 3rd gas can. The cameras were on them for that one & the way they looked at each other was freaking awesome! You all definiteky deserved that fantastic ending to the day, I only lasted about 30 seconds when Nurmi took over. God Bless Ya! LOL

KLC Next time you talk to the family, could you please tell them that so many of us are hoping for justice for Travis....even from Canada. Maybe it will ease their pain a tiny bit.

Thank you kindly for all you do. You are appreciated!

I told them that today. Tanisha said she can feel the love and the notes and emails she gets are what's helping them get through the days.

On another personal note, I said to Harold how much I appreciated watching his obvious support of not only Tanisha but all the women in the family and what a good man he obviously is. He walked across the circle we were standing in with tears and gave me this huge hug. What an incredible person he is.

He OWNED that sociopath today. Literally OWNED her. It was a vision of amazingness.

He absolutely did. He wiped that smirk off of her face at the end of the day.

If you know and can share, Katiecool...can any of the siblings possibly be called regarding Jodi's claim that the .25 gun was passed down to Travis by their father? TIA

 

[looneymama]

One final note for tonite (maybe lol). It was kind of a mystery to all of us why Nurmi passed the ball for the last few remaining minutes to Martinez at the end of the day. It was odd, not expected. Almost like he was doing an intentional fumble. Did it read like that to the rest of you?

With his slow motion Nurmambic Pentameter he surely could have nurmed up a few more slow drawn out questions but he kind of quickly ended up and tossed it to Juan. WHy I wonder?

Beth thought it was maybe cuz he wants all his experts together for a 4 day stretch. But that means 2 full days next week of....Juan crossing these jury questions? (ok that would send me in to some kind of pop rock heaven if you get my drift) But...anyway, kind of an unsolved mystery.

Maybe he started thinking about how bad it would be if JM had an extra long weekend to prepare. :floorlaugh:

FROM KATIE and COMPANY - Happy hour notes safely in the center of the table!?!? LOL (I took liberties to add a little ambiance! Hope that is okay!)

 

[AngelWings444]

I think Nurmi passed if off because the judge gave him a talking to. At the sidebar before he turned it over to Mr. Juanderful, the judge was the most animated I have ever seen her. JMO.

Thanks for all your updates!! Can't wait to read PASA's too! I saw you PASA and caught your gum chewing. :wink:

Katie-did you coordinate your top with Beth's outfit and stunning jewelry? :floorlaugh:

NO shaking...right? SHe can't even get her game plans straight.

They were elated as we all were re: the gas can stuff that came in at the end. ELATED. we were all smiles and hugs and talking about what a good relaxing weekend we will all have because of this.

Katie, I know you can't share what JM has up his sleeve but I would like to say that I just love how JM hints that something big is coming, gets Jodi and the defense all worried, and then changes the focus to something else! (Like January/MM) So much of being a prosecutor, I think, has to do with psychology and making killers sweat!

Question for Katie or PASA...do you know why there is no court on Monday and Tuesday? Does JM have another case?

 

[katiecoolady]

"Nurmambic Pentameter" - LOL!

To quote Stephen Colbert, "you're welcome".

Do they give you a ticket to get in the courtroom like they did with the Casey Anthony trial?

Beth said that's been on the schedule for quite some time. There was a conflict but then it got resolved but by then a juror had planned an out of town trip (good for them) so that bell couldn't unring. Works for ME (it's all about me right?) because I'm being flown to LA on Monday to tape the Ricki Lake show on Tuesday. Perfect timing.

 

[TartLemon]

Were Travis' siblings aware of Jodi in his life?

I sit with the family always but PASA can explain the public gallery seating process...I don't really know how they do it!

Oh, wow! Congratulations! That works out great! When will it air?

 

[Bada Bing]

Does anyone have a screen shot of BK with jewelry?

 

[mikeysmommom]

I had that exact thought just today...wondering how similar those events were. Like she re enacted his worst fearful story. Sadistic evil demon.

She is a Sadistic evil demon,perfect description of her! It seems like she did steal the horrible ordeal Travis had suffered!It was a re-enactment IMO! I wish the jury could see this!

I love it! We all piled our notebooks up on the table and took this photo. Love the embellishments! lol

 

[hollyjokers]

Oh yeah, Beth's jewelry looked great. When she was on Vinnie earlier in the day, she kind of gave a little shake of the head like "check 'em out!"

 

[Anita Richman]

:great:I LOVE reading the court observer notes! I told Katiecoolady earlier that I loved hers so much that if I was in 5th grade, I'd MARRY THEM! lol

PASA, CURSE YOU for being the responsible adult in the room and making us wait until tomorrow! I seriously feel like I just got off a rollercoaster (for the fourth time tonight) after reading your notes! Sooooo freaking exhilirating!!!

P.s. If there are any other courtwatchers at this trial, PLEASE sign up to Websleuths ASAP! We love to hear any and ALL observations! Even if you're in the hallway! No joke; when you're starved for news about what's going on inside, you'll take ANYTHING!! Even powder room news! :floorlaugh:
