seems like the da is making comments leading to a plea with the witch.
i hope not
I screwed up on something. The procedure to get in is to go to the court entrance at 12:30, get a ticket, and then the actual proceedings start at 1:30. I had brought a notebook, but when I got there I parked & went to find Dr. Doogie, and I ran out of time to go back and get my notebook. Dr. Doogie took notes, though.
Nancy is small, Phillip is tall but does not look big per se - he's hunched over and just looks creepy.
Interestingly, the DA also said at one point in court that he felt sorry for Nancy.
For some reason, PG reminds me of Count Orlok from Nosferatu. LOL.

It was reported that he said that he had information "that could mitigate the guilt" of Nancy. That sounds to me that like he is preparing the public for a plea deal for her. It's an odd thing to say if you were not going to cut her any slack. It wouldn't suprise me at all if we see Nancy as a state witness before all this is done, it will probably end up like the Smart case.
One other thing. It's pretty clear that Phil and Nancy are in different positions here, as Nancy's attorney is very open about taking the position that Nancy is a victim and was under Phil's control.
Thinking about this on the drive home, this is a tricky one. If Phil's attorney argues that Jaycee was not a captive because she could have walked out, then they will have trouble arguing that Nancy was not as well. Nancy's attorney will surely paint her as someone under Phil's control in an effort to get lenient treatment for her - he said as much even in front of Phil's attorney. So the prosecution is going to need to paint them both as bad guys. Yet the DA said today he felt sorry for Nancy - so it will be interesting.
