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

[Midnight Meddler]

counsel is in chambers - Samantha was just called to chambers, not Tanisha. Now Alyce, then Jodi. Still in chambers according to Wildabouttrial.com

 

[Love Never Fails]

You know it is ok to feel that way. What Jodi did not only affected 2 families she affected the world with this. I think allot of people are very passionate about this.

Thanks. I have been crying for the last hour. And it isn't like me at all. Usually I just get flip and angry. But even if someone believed Travis to be a bad guy, and I don't, he never deserved to be murdered. Not only is JA not remorseful but I think she actually believes he deserved to die because he didn't love her. How can a person be so twisted? And then to think a person will testify on JA's behalf for money only kills Travis again and again. I hope the jury questions will let ALV know how distasteful she is.

All counsel, Samantha, Alyce, and Jodi are out of chambers. Let's go! Wonder if this had something to do with Ms Alyce's harassing Samantha?

KCL, I don't know how close you get to TA's family, but I know I speak for many many of us when I ask you to send them love and hugs today. So proud of how stoic they have been. Their dear Brother would be proud of his sibs! It breaks my heart they have to sit through this trial that has lasted way longer than it should have. JUSTICE FOR TRAVIS.

LOL - What does that even mean? Are the extra cups kept in the jury box?

LOL!! I don't know what that means, hahah!

KCL, Pasa!! Who sits by the foam cups and where are they located?

 

[MeeBee]

Oh this is stupid! She OFFERED to dress like a schoolgirl! We never hear him ask for this!

And how do they reconcile him liking little girl AND young boys??? AND grown women?

 

[PASA]

I just lost a long post of notes. This pad makes me nuts. Will try later. Sorry everyone

It sounds like the cup toucher juror added a question to the bin along with 'CEO' as we know him. re - Wilmott's final question to Alyce in which Alyce's script read, "If Jodi was a really good liar, she would have planned a really good lie - and she didn't."

I'm curious to find out who the cup toucher is...

I'm here sitting next to jake- attorneys in chambers - JA sitting there by herself

Behave! Isn't he the one that causes you to giggle??! :great:

In court trial watchers:
Did ALV just answer a question from JW and throw in something unrelated to the effect of "I don't see any evidence that Mr Alexander was a sociopath" right before JM objected? Did any of you insiders hear that?

Cracks me up, he's bored silly!

I touch everything when bored and waiting...like in a doctors office! I open drawers, spin on the stool, pick at loose paint.


I stop short of stand on my head, singing, talking to myself and arching over a chair backwards

So exciting! Thank so much for getting everyone the inside scoop.

The feeling I get from Jodi is "smug." That just came to me. It seems she feels entitled and insulated, even though her skinny butt has been sitting in jail for four years, and is likely to sit there for forty more - if she's lucky! :jail:

I have been missing your posts!

CNN's live stream stayed on after court recess called. JM,JW,N all up at bench judge divided up what looked like juror questions and divided them between prosecution and defense and was pointing around in court (perhaps indicating where to sit).

 

[ProtectOurKids]

The Judge handed Juan a smaller stack of papers.....JM still talking to judge...and Juan couldn't wait he began reading his questions lol

Between JA,JW, and ALV they have built a dance floor over Travis' grave.

 

[SCSam]

I am excited about the Jury questions. I think they are the best part of this back and forth. They show us exactly what the jury is accepting and not. That is what matters after all.

Nosey me would love to know how many the DT pulls during review.

As the Adult Child of an Alcoholic wife-beater father, I can attest to the importance of grandparents! When looking for reasons some of us turn out okay, factoring in resiliency data is essential to . . . what(?) . . . Oh yeah, CONTEXT and THE BIG PICTURE.

Excellent point! I grew up in a home with an extremely mentally abusive mother and a physically abusive father. Instead of taking from them I learned my life lessons from my Grandfather. He taught me love, sympathy and support. I am now a parent and I've never been abusive. I give my son all the love and support my grandfather gave me and shut out all of the abuse. ALV's testimony really upsets me as an abuse survivor.
