+she will asked to leave during the testimony of a social worker re her independent living situation.

Judge Fuente agrees w/ prosecution. "I'm going to allow her to be present at trial." #mcteartrial

Wise decision Judge! imo

 

[Jewels53]

Jasmine Bedwell does get to come in courtroom---but when someone from her housing testifies she has to leave. I also think they will be monitoring her emotions

I think the Judge was correct in making that decision. Why did the defense release her if he was going to call her back? humm!

#mcteartrial taking morning break. Judge ruled that baby's mom can remain in CR even though she is still witness. (Victim rep) #McTear

interesting that the row behind defense is roped off :thinking:

I noticed that, and thought it looked like crime scene tape. :blushing:

 

[zoey]

Aunt is a little testy jmo

interesting that the row behind defense is roped off :thinking:

In my experience that row is often reserved for family, but maybe they don't want folks sitting too close?

The aunt called Jasmine Bedwell at least six times from her phone back then. #McTear was living with her off and on.

McTear's aunt says she has no memory of him driving the car he's alleged to have used to dump the baby on I-275. #mcteartrial

Kinderdine says she met McTear when Bedwell gave birth to Emanuel in Jan. of 2009. They met in the hospital. #mcteartrial

Bedwell's councilor seems sad.

Bedwell's caseworker looked in her apt for evidence a man was living with her, didn't realize McTear was staying there #mcteartrial

Bedwell's councilor seems sad.

she does at that! I'm trying to figure out what she knows and isn't allowed to say

 

[Jewels53]

Bedwell's councilor seems sad.

The way her eyes slant down and her mouth looks like a frown. I would say she does look sad.
