A view from the inside: observations from our own court observers

[AZWatcher]

You ladies all look FABULOUS! Lotsa' gorgeous hair on that rooftop!

 

[Myvice]

Love Juan's new tactic of having the court reporter read the questions!

 

[Bada Bing]

Don't know why people consider Arias pretty. She has weak eyes. Maybe 'cos there's no soul behind them.

JMO

!

My husband says she looks like Mrs. Potato Head. Stick on glasses, nose and lips.

 

[Bada Bing]

That's where I first met you in person

Shoot, my daughter lives in Scottsdale and is NOT interested in the trial. I am in Chicago and would give anything to be there right now. Maybe I can meet you all someday in the future....

 

[missjocool]

Me too! Plus it's cold! I want to go to happy hour in Arizona with everyone on a rooftop! But I live in Philly. :sigh:

I'm in Baltimore! We're close! We could do an East Coast party! :seeya:

 

[missjocool]

I think I saw a couple of our ladies sitting behind JA's mom in the gallery!!!

Frigga and PASA are RIGHT behind her...and the aunt.

This is frigga, here with pasa, tok, kbisme and whatsupaz! Pasa and whatsupaz got in for morning session, we will all be in for afternoon. Currently waiting for katiecoo to arrive. Pasa and whatsupaz have notes they will post later. Gw is working the crowd as I type. Az lawyer has just texted she is here. We will all check in with our observations later. Hope debates are going well, can't wait to enter the fray.

Frigga and PASA are RIGHT behind her...and the aunt.

I can"t wait for their notes especially since they were behind JA's cheer leaders.

I'm sure I've missed others that contribute! To those I've missed thank you
Only know a few names.

Meet in Rehoboth! :great:

I saw Beth Karas on IS today -- she said it is very different seeing the trial live than on TV. She said what you hear on TV comes from special mikes placed for that purpose and that that is NOT what you hear in the courtroom. So, she said, what may sound loud & bullying on TV does not sound like that in the courtroom.

Another reason I'm so glad we have all the WSers giving us the view up close & personal!

 

[PASA]

Top picture, lady in front of camera with black coat and gray hair. What is her name? Anyone? I know her! How could I? I am from Indiana. But I know her.

She's a friend of the family. You may have seen her on Dr. Drew or one of the evening HLN talk shows.

HTH

 

[Tsunvirtual]

I'm anxiously awaiting today's update. I attended the Casey Anthony trial on the third day. I didn't go back because it got CRAZY after that.

Thank You all for doing this.

 

[PASA]

I replied, but it went off into the black hole of cyberspace, trying again.

So sorry you couldn't make it. You were missed!

I wondered how I would feel. When I was in court I stayed until the last moment, when she left the room. (I was maybe 10 feet from her.) There is NOTHING threatening or freaky about her. (Unless you think, I am sitting 10 feet from a woman who butchered a man.) She probably wouldn't catch my attention if she were just a woman in a crowd full of people, not very special looking.

I agree, nothing special about her. Most people I've seen in person look better than they do on the court feed. She's the exception, she's more homely in person.

Aww, thanks! I'm in black jacket (thanks Frigga) with lime green shirt.

A side note on the court reporter. We didn't know where the rooftop bar was
and asked him for directions. He was very nice and helpful.

My husband says she looks like Mrs. Potato Head. Stick on glasses, nose and lips.

LOL! Love it... So true. Mine says she's average at best and thinks she's guilty as sin.

Frigga and PASA! I keep seeing you alll afternoon! Close up!

I've not seen the feed of the last 2 days. Hubby gave his seat to Frigga and we were seated behind the defendants family. He said he can go anytime and she drove all the way over for trial and thought she should go in with me.

I can"t wait for their notes especially since they were behind JA's cheer leaders.

I will look through my notes and post anything interesting later. I'm fried, dogs want attention, etc.

A couple of side notes:

No sooner did we get back from afternoon break another sidebar. Next think I know the attorneys, judge, court reporter are back in chambers.
They return, then the jury comes back. Judge says recess for the rest of the day and jury to return at 10:15 tomorrow.
After jury leaves she asked if there was any business to be discussed (paraphrasing). Nurmi says the sheriff's dept hasn't been providing her lunch for the last 2 days and he wants it to be ordered that she gets lunch.
Then he says she has a migraine.
The judge said she will look into it. End of day.

Gypsy Woman aka Hall Monitor was working the room and being more bossy than normal.

I went to the afternoon session only. I think the jury is paying attention I didn't see anyone who looked like they were sleeping yesterday or today.
I also believe they are on to her and from their expressions they are tired of her B.S. MOO

My new word for a sidebar, The Nurmi Stall.

Katie (Dr. Drew's Juror), Frigga, and I were the only WS'ers in attendance today.
I don't plan to go tomorrow. I'm beat, listening to her testimony is draining, to say the least. Poor Juan.
May try to go next week.

bbm: that means that whatever was discussed in chambers was not the issue about lunch!

 

[katiecoolady]

Thank you PASA! My draining button got hit today....I literally put my pajamas on at 3pm. I have not felt well all day but did manage to watch the trial of course.

Sorry to have missed you gals. That must have been intense for you.

I thought the BOMBSHELL TODAY was her admission she enjoyed the penis pics. Did you think that?

I'm heading back over tomorrow afternoon.

Someone needs to somehow manage that Gypsy Woman. She seriously makes it uncomfortable to even be in the public gallery area. I don't know...maybe I'll make some inquiries tomorrow.

Rest well...and thanks for your notes! And tell your husband I think he's an absolute SWEETHEART for giving his seat to Frigga. How nice was that?

 

[Softail]

I'll be happy to post the photos "Juan" took of the group with my phone. I wasn't sure if it was allowed here.

Here we are.

I would hope everyone agreed to posting it.
