Apparently an alternate juror was dismissed, but due to a death in her family. Not due to defense motion.

Back in court. In case anybody wonders, we only had our phones in for the verdict. Now, we have to wait to tweet again.

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 4m4 minutes ago

That's why the delay. Just letting you know.

Defense called six witnesses in penalty phase of Joyce Garrard's trial.

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 2m2 minutes ago

Final witness was husband Johnny Garrard. He said Joyce was a good person who tried to do the best for her grandchildren.

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 4m4 minutes ago

Savannah was a little more special because she was their first grandchild.

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 3m3 minutes ago

Nicole Selvage, Joyce's daughter, cried as she asked the jury to spare her mothers life.

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 3m3 minutes ago

"She's my best friend," she said. "she's my rock....y'all just don't even know her."

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 2m2 minutes ago

Several witnesses, friends and family members said Joyce Garrard grew up as a tomboy in a poor house with an alcoholic father.

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 2m2 minutes ago

The father lived with her grandmother, who one woman described as "the meanest woman I have ever seen."

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 47s47 seconds ago

Joyce was sexually abused, one sister testified, not elaborating. Garrard bent her head down on the table and later wiped her eyes.

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 42s43 seconds ago

Another woman testified that Joyce as a teenager rode a motorcycle and was sometimes mistaken for a man.

WilliamThornton @billineastala · 9s10 seconds ago

Her lack of emotion and stern voice masks a caring, giving person, they testified.

I've not heard a word about RH, Queenie, except that he is suing GRMC. I hope to god he doesn't have custody of the children he sired with JH. Or worse, remarried and pawned them off on a new wife. :notgood: Betcha he makes it back for his suit against the hospital though.

:seeya: Hi guys. Are the jurors out, deciding sentencing?

Not sniffing glue Queenie, but all my windows are open and there are some suspicious smells apparently from one of my condo mates who is playing his guitar! LOL! i agree all trials should be streamed. And quite honestly, I feel like this is why the disinterest in this case from MSM. No sensationalism, No $$$.

Happy Birthday Nore!
