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

[Observer in AZ]

Crickey... There was SO MUCH today forgot till reading thru posts again...

Straight Razor? Is this possible? Honestly I've not read the ME report but I wondered if possible for throat wound if sharp like scalpel... sorry I hate saying things like this seems disrespectful for some reason but I wondered why Old Fashion shaving came up a few times then Nurmi addressed it..seems like if Nurmi addresses something it's probably true& he's trying to convince it's not... jmo

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

They said they will tell me 2-3 weeks after it tapes. This weekend I have to go through pics of me and my sister growing up etc. Sigh...been a long time since I've done that.

The notebooks are great! The notebook that's upside down on the upper right? The first thought that came into my head was it's Jodi's handwriting! I've been watching too much.

 

[katiecoolady]

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!"

awwww...she made a point to reference them to me today..twice! Love me some Beth K.

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.

Ricki Lake Show!? What network is that on? I'd like to catch it, DVR it.

Reading upstream after posting this... So sorry, I mistakenly thought you would be on Ricki for Jodi's case. Again I'm so sorry to have made this mistake. My heart pours out to you on the loss of your sister. I edited.

Oh nooooooooooooooooooo...that's PASA's I think!! Make it stop! lol

 

[pferrin]

I am not worried about any single juror or this jury at all.

THey will convict this demon and sentence her to death.

When Mr Martinez began today it was such perfect timing. Katie PASA and entire group of lovely ladies and gentlemen....I jumped up and down like I had won the big lottery. I was at BFF's home and she had other company. She was teaching her company how to play a card game so I was not super noisy...ooy I got fussed at for not telling her that Mr Martinez was doing recross.

When I told her his questions she was jumpin up and down also.

So for all of you that had to behave in court..we did the wave...the screams and the jumps for you. Thanks to all of you.

Ricki Lake Show!? What network is that on? I'd like to catch it, DVR it. Better watch it Katie or you will become a household name all over the continent!

it's on Fox. not Fox News but Fox network.

What's weird is they contacted me about my sister's homicide while I was walking in to the courthouse for THIS trial having zero idea I was even having anything to do with this trial. Do do do do.........right?

 

[sassy_texasbelle2]

this is palin and nurmi when martinez was on!

This has to make the jury wonder what they are so nervous about and what their panties are so wadded up over. Wilmott always looks like she is about to go nuts. :floorlaugh:

lol:floorlaugh:

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.

For me, it seemed like Nurmi wanted his "gotcha" moment. Like he was hoping Mr. Martinez wasn't expecting it and might fumble around for something to question her about..Of course, if that's the case ~ EPIC FAIL! But that was immediately how I interpreted it, not that he just ran out of questions, but intended to surprise Juan Martinez.. LOL...Girl, please..

Look at the Mitigation Specialist! She's like "whaaaaaaaaat?"!

Sending you prayers and blessings.

See? You felt it too! I only wish we'd done the wave! I did feel a little awkward though when I realized Stacy and I were jumping like little girls on the playground right when JA's mother/aunt were walking out of the courthouse and probably saw us. Oops.

:runaway: bump

Hi Katie,

Two questions:

1. Can you share anything further about your long chat with Beth?

2. Posted this when it happened this am, so you probably didn't see it: was there a reaction in the courtroom/jury at all when Arias said Travis had told her he'd seen signs from God he was supposed to marry Mimi? To me, it was BOMBSHELL TONIGHT--there's the motive. He was really going to move on and she couldn't take it. What do you think?

PS-Totally intrigued by you saying you know something you can't share about MM...Juan keeps dropping little breadcrumbs about it...he's going somewhere, I just know it! :rocker:

 

[coup de grace]

There was a side bar/approach I think before last break... Nurmi has going thru Bobby stuff the journey entries when they went to bench it looked Judge Stephens was reamin Nurmi big time.. went to break then seemed like couple more questions he was done. We all felt like Come On Nurmi how many Groundhog Days then bench then boom boom boom Here's Juan...

THIS ^
Judge finally took some control :twocents:

I almost couldn't believe it at one point during the testimony when she told Jodi sharply that she had "answered the question"

 

[sassy_texasbelle2]

None of them need to be in a poker game. lol

 

[Frigga]

Katiecoo- Did ya'all discuss the law of chastity comments by JA about "whoredom" and being "unclean" and does anyone have the sense of wether or not the Lisa Andrews 'mysterious' email will come in or not?

I thought myself she has a really sharp knife stashed somewhere. The same one she used on the tires and I would be surprised if she didn't stash it somewhere instead of getting rid of it.
