Do you remember when she posted about LE spraying her white leather couch with luminol and how upset she was about that? It's stuck with me because I'm thinking now that it was probably Abraham's couch in his house she took :furious:

I noticed the empty courtroom as well although I'm not able to watch much. I'm sure the seats will start getting full as publicity is growing.
I found it ironic the trial started on one of the largest power ball jack pots to date.
I'll give Tampa Bay Times a call and see if they are still covering it and if they changed the link. Yesterday they told me when they are recording, the link would go up on their homepage and when it is not livestreaming they take the link down, but then I found Sleuthster's link and didn't need their link. Thanks, Sleuthster.
Suspect in Lottery Winner's Murder Cries During Her Trial
Moore broke down during Hileman's opening statements.
Prosecutors called several witnesses to the stand, including Chad McConkey, a detective with the Polk County Sheriff's Office, and Moore's ex-husband, James, who testified that he bought the defendant a backhoe and used it to dig a hole in the backyard of a house she owned.
snip
Prosecutors also called Janero Rodreiguez to the stand. He testified that he was hired by Moore to pour a slab of concrete over the same place her ex-husband had dug and filled a hole days earlier.
snip
According to Smith and official documents, Moore asked Smith whether he knew anyone who would take a murder rap for a $50,000 payoff

I'm spoke with Sabrina and editor Ann Glover is not in yet. I asked for a call when she does get in. I told Sabrina that yesterday over 600 people were watching this trial. She said they need their video people out doing other stories. The phone number for Tampa Bay Times is 727-893-8111. If I don't hear from her in an hour, I'll try calling her back.

Thank you, Susan. This aggravates me so! Yesterday was all opening statements, basic information on the property and discovery of the body, and chain-of-custody testimony.
Then, we have to hope the prosecution will wake the jury up with some of the really good stuff!

Lawyer Lays Out Murder Case
Prosecutor Describes Web of Deception Leading to Shakespeare's Death
During opening statements in Moore's murder trial, Assistant State Attorney Jay Pruner described Moore, 40, as a manipulative thief and killer who took advantage of a generous, simple man.
"She took extreme, calculated steps to avoid detection, apprehension and the truth," Pruner said.

She paid $300 to a Plant City barber, Greg Smith, to place a call to Shakespeare's mother and pretend to be Shakespeare, Pruner said.
Detectives used phone records and traced the call to Smith, and he agreed to be a confidential informant, Pruner said.
Detectives built a case by having Smith secretly record conversations with Moore, he said.
Moore instructed Smith to rent a motel room where she typed a letter that was to appear to be from Shakespeare to his mother, Pruner said.
She instructed Smith to put the letter in the mailbox of Shakespeare's mother, Pruner said.

I forgot all about that! It's so like a sociopath to be more upset about inanimate objects than human beings. I didn't know that was significant at the time, but I do now. Oh the things I've learned on WS.
lease:Editor of the online is John Schlander 727-893-8714. After talking to CEO John Tash's secretary (he was not in), she gave me Mr. Schlander's number and I left a message on his answer machine asking since there were over 600 viewers yesterday and when this trial has gotten international attention, why they had made the decision to not cover it. I also mentioned there were over 80 people on the site right now just waiting for the livestream to start.
Christi, how long does it take to get to the court house from Mulberry?
Part of me wants to go, but I detest driving to Tampa anymore.
Not to mention DH would think I've lost my WS marbles!
eta, nevermind I mapped it, approx 45 mins

White also said that two bullets were recovered from Shakespeare's body, both lodged near his spine and heart. X-rays of Shakespeare's chest were shown to the jury.
Both attorneys agreed on one thing: that by the time Shakespeare and Moore met, the man had already spent or given away most of his lottery winnings. Friends and acquaintances owed him millions of dollars, the lawyers said, and Pruner called him a "soft touch."

Abraham sounds like the sweetest man. It just makes this case harder to swallow. :tears:

I've just rearranged my schedule. I'm in Lakeland and I'm going. ColdPizza and Christi, if you want a ride to the courthouse, I'm leaving within the hour. Got to take a quick shower and change clothes. Let me know if you want to go and I'll pick you up if you want a ride.
That is so nice of you to offer!! There is no way I can go today, but thank you so very much!
I was looking back through the old threads and came across her FB, it's hard to even recognize her from then until now.
If she gets convicted she needs to just stay in prison and continue to rot.
