a view from the inside: observations from our own court observers #7

[Rosebud1952]

JM is a genius.

"I don't know if they were broken up. I just know she went to talk to Bianca about the breakup." -ALV

 

[I Object!]

Is it just me or do the defendant and her female defense attorney look like a pair of junior high 'mean girls' - whispering secrets and giggling about their slambooks - each time the jury is escorted from the courtroom? As if they haven't been writing notes to one another all day. Nuts.

 

[Madeleine74]

Is ALV's payment contingent upon not answering any questions posed by the prosecutor? Because she is dogmatically refusing to answer even the simplest of questions posed to her, pretending she either can't understand, doesn't follow, and basically thwarting every attempt to elicit her testimony, on every level.

I can't understand why she refuses to budge and just answer questions. And when the judge sustains JM's objection about the witness being "non-responsive," there's no penalty for her continued obstinance. Can't she be held in contempt of court?

Smuggling JA drawings of jurors to sell on eBay in order to get a mistrial doesn't seem IMO to be above the smarminess of this DT.

Is it true she's got a drawing of juror #5.

They have been writing notes all day.

 

[Soliloquy]

Is it true she's got a drawing of juror #5.

No, that is not true to my knowledge. I've never even heard that rumor much less any corroboration. People are simply speculating that she could be sketching a juror or jurors during trial. She certainly seems to be very busily sketching, erasing, sketching, etc. something or someone with great frequency during her first degree murder trial.

Still at HH then gonna have dinner w my sweet bro then...notes!

 

[Nezumi]

Thank goodness they have correction tape, in case JA needs to correct anyone's grammar/paperwork. :facepalm:

LOL. I'm pretty sure that's a roll of 'flags.' It's like a tape dispenser except that it dispenses little flags with a sticky bit on one end to mark points in a document.

 

[Nezumi]

Is it true she's got a drawing of juror #5.

No, those drawings on eBay are just the work of an opportunist, um, I mean FAN who is cashing in on the trial. Her work isn't bad but her ethical sensibility is just awful.

I seen some on ebay of juan done by Jodie I don't have the link.

 

[katiedid2]

Yes I found the seller who's selling this and I saved. Oh ok a fan? Didn't know . How'd that person get Juan's drawing? On ebay.

Just watched Dr. Drew On-Demand... I missed it last night (The Voice was on... !!!) Anyway, you both did a great job and I yelled to my husband "My friends are on Dr. Drew!" Yeah... I'm an idiot... but you made me proud!

I said something very similar last night and there was a definite ":what:" in the Bex household. I think there were some looks exchanged....

 

[katiedid2]

Dr drew gonna be good today

 

[Anadarko]

I think it would be really great if a bunch of our trial watchers all showed up on the same day, and all tied their hair in little top/side pony tails like JA. A gallery full of adults trying to look like they are 7!!!:floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

[polleypockets]

KCL what does janine driver think about jm calling alv a human lie detector

 

[womblek]

No, his was the controller, so Dick could tell him what to say as the questions came in.
