GUILTY FL - Abraham Shakespeare, 42, lottery winner, Polk County, 7 April 2009 #8

[Susan1]

I think she's crying because she's hearing herself dig a hole for life in prison for herself. She ONLY crys for herself and self-pity. This is a woman who would throw anyone else to the wolves. She only hurts when it hurts her.

Note to self: get headphones to watch trials during work. :werk:

Perhaps, she will pled guilty after lunch. She is toast.

 

[LaLaw2000]

She is toast, IMO, but she will never admit to anything.

 

[Susan1]

They just did a close up of Abraham's mother, Ms. Walker, wiping a tear from her eye. That was a genuine tear for her son.

 

[Susan1]

Greg Smith keeps looking like he is falling asleep.

 

[Susan1]

I remember Shar getting a speeding ticket and we were all concerned about the timing of the ticket. Can anyone else remember when that was and what it was in relation to?

 

[jellybeanz]

She's brewing up for another outburst of tears for herself. The pennies of guilt are really crashing to the floor now.

 

[CarolinaMoon]

Well, we are now at the point where Greg Smith knows where the body is. DD is still facing away from the jury.

She's telling Greg that the concrete slab was poured 3 weeks before Abraham left.

How did he get so far deep under it, then??? This isn't making sense to me!

 

[Susan1]

Dorice is covering her face.
Dorice is saying the concrete was poured 3 weeks before Abraham left. She has said that Ron has threatened her son if she says anything to the police.
Greg is now talking Dorice into taking her to the property, telling her to find where the body is, and he will move the body right out of Florida.

 

[Susan1]

Greg says his cousin owns a mortuary.
Dorice is now laughing saying her cousin should just cremate Abraham's body,
Greg is saying what he will need to move the body. He is offering to bury the body behind his back. He is telling her the police are waiting for a leak and they will dig up his body.
Greg is saying he needs bleach.
They are now going to meet the undercover police officer, I believe.
Dorice is evidentally claiming they buried the body on her property to frame her and then threatening her son if she says anything.

 

[Susan1]

Okay, now she has admitted Abraham is dead. She told about being in the office and Ron shooting Abraham. She said they threatened her son if she told.

 

[Susan1]

At this time, they needed to wake up Greg Smith. I swear he is sleeping. They then jump ahead in the tape as they have a period of time with silence.

Thanks are not enough for those posts, Susan! You know the entire story and you must have better ears that I do!

Dorice is hiding her face again. Isn't that a very Freudian action, hiding the guilt on her face?
Greg is saying he will dig up the body and his partner can help. She is laughing on and off throughout this conversation on tape. Waterworks in Court. Not so funny anymore, is it, Dorice.

 

[CarolinaMoon]

She's still crying and her solution for not having the jury see it is:

 

[Susan1]

Didn't Dorice give the murder weapon to her father so the cops wouldn't find it? Then her father's prints are on the murder weapon. Thoughtful daughter.

 

[Susan1]

Damn, that Greg Smith is a smooth talker. He is talking Dorice into giving up the location of the body so his partner can take the rap for the murder and give the cops the location of the body. The Sheriff ought to consider using this guy permanently because he is very, very convincing and an unbelievable actor. If they were looking for one for hire, they couldn't have hired a better informant. He may have started out on the wrong side of the law, but he made up for it big time once he changed sides.

I kinda remember that. Wasn't he driving a couple hours north of Tampa? Maybe going to Jacksonville or? Did it have something to do with someone moving?

I'm sure I'm way off base
