For the DT

[Numbers]

hmmm ... interesting ... I can think of only one reason Mason would want to advertise his association with Jose ... publicity !! IMO it's the only reason Mason jumped on the bandwagon ... national exposure in a high profile case ... perhaps a book or talking head deal ... it certainly wasn't because he believed in KC's innocense ... he already said as much prior to joining the team ... guess he likes "circus" trials ...

Handy ATM access, beauty. So Foghorn Leghorn and Redbull Baez are hanging their shingles together now, huh? What a dynamic duo they aren't. (the deaf leading the dumb)

JB: Quite frankly,..
CM: HUH?
JB: I said, Quite frankly..
CM: Hu-WHAT?
JB: I SAID, Q U I T E f r a n k l y..
CM: White and skanky?
JB: Yes, quite frankly she is..

Thanks just wasn't enough! This is the BEST post I have see in a looooooooong time!! :floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

Keep up the good work DT. Your doing an absolutely fantastic job......of getting your client a potassium chloride injection.

 

[Pattymarie]

Defense Team....your client looks crazy. You have kept her locked up for 3 years. You dress her weird. You can't control her actions on NATIONAL TV! You are marketing her like she belongs on the WWW. You keep calling her crazy mother as an actual credible witness.

And seriously....did you actually counsel her to flip the bird at the camera men? Have you not counseled her on how serious this is?

A beautiful baby girl is dead. Your client is facing death. Her parents have gone off the deep end. Do you have no moral/ethical compass here?

 

[Ricki]

Every mother of a murdered child flips the bird at court hearings. That's how you show you are a grieving mother and that gesture will get you much sympathy.NOT!! Keep it up your digging your hole deeper.

The advice I'd like to give to the DT would get me banned, so I'll try to be nice. How about someone clues in the princess that she's on trial for killing her baby! There's nothing cute and sexy about that no matter how long you grow your hair. While you're at it, wipe the smirk off your face because I'd bet the farm you'll have nothing to smirk about in a few months.

 

[darnudes]

There is an ATM in the courthouse lobby and an ATM in the lobby of the BOA building (which is caddy corner to the courthouse) and Mason's office is in (which, interestingly has Baez's office placard up too).

Who in their right mind would hitch their wagon to Baez's star?

I thought I would attempt to start a thread for the DT. It is obvious that they do read here and use what they can for their case. So here you go- here is the opinions (no personal attacks or name calling pls) just honest opinions from average people who could be part of your jury pool. I will start with my opinion of your "client".
1- You need to remind her DAILY that this whole trial is about the DEATH of her ONLY daughter- she very rarely shows ANY emotion or remorse for this loss.(AS YOU SEE I AM NOT TALKING GUILT JUST PLAIN LOSS)
2-Facial Expressions- only on rare occasion does she make any facial gesture to what is going on in that court room, but boy do you see her demeanor change when she is chatting with members of your team- not good - the jury will pick up on this faster than you think
3-Hair- the long hair needs to go- it has been mentioned on this site before that she should cut it an donate it to LOCKS OF LOVE- she needs to have more appropriate hair style and less to play with -smooth out or twirl
4-Clothing - plain and simple no matter what it is IT NEEDS TO FIT
5-Paralegal activities -do not continue to pretend to be something your not-just like you didn't have a job- it shows that you are cold and heartless and could truly careless of what is going on in that room
6-Acknowledging your family-FINALLY yesterday you ack your mother-IT IS ABOUT TIME-you need to ack your family whether you like it or not- completely ignoring them again shows your cold heart-
Now on to JB
1-Public Speaking 101- practice practice practice - get a mirror and a camcorder and use it daily
2-Facial Expression- get rid of that SMIRK-and please dear god quit rolling your eyes
3-Vocabulary- do not use vocabulary that you do not know what it means-anyone can pick up a dictionary and choose a new word- but it makes you appear to be uneducated-so stick with what you know
4-Speed- Move it along -get what you need to ask done - you are going 10 mile out of your way just to get to the next block and it will only show the jury that you cannot formulate a specific question
5-Morals- quit trying to play dirty and just do your job- you know the law and know the rules so quit wasting everyone's time-ps your jury will pick up on it
6-Area of Expertise- you know your area so stick with it and let the others on your team handle the areas where they are good at-
Now on to CM
1-Excuses- quit using the excuse that your hard of hearing- it is getting old and ridiculous -you hear what you want to hear plain and simple and will turn the jury off
2-Old Boys Club- this is another huge turn off- people want to believe in change -so quit playing that card
3-Expertise- You are a well seasoned lawyer so start acting like it- these juvenile games are getting old and tiring-Do what you know and move on

You are all here to do a job, so just do it and get on with what you have- I will tell you that in MOO that there are many hurdles that you need to overcome -so start dealing with the facts instead of trying to play the magic cup game- I can only tell you my opinion but I would take note of this which is most important-if there is anyone on your jury who has children, cousins, nieces or nephews or has ever babysat in their lives you are going to have a huge problem and here is why- Any person who has ever been out with a child anywhere ie:store, park etc-that had the responsibility of watching a child- that turned their back for only a second, then turn back and the child had wandered off, and this person got that horrible sick feeling in the pit of their stomach to only realize that the child was just a few steps away will never ever ever in a million years forget that horrific feeling and will never comprehend how anyone could go on and do what your client did which was go about her merry way without a care in the world- IMO :twocents:

MODS if this is a bad idea pls delete and accept my humble apologies - I just like to face a problem head on!

Seems they do read here. Take a look at today's news from B. Shaefer.

I don't know if I should do this, but here it goes:

I believe 99.9% that Casey murdered her baby intentionally. But, if I were a juror, here are some things that might tug at that .1% in me and possibly give me reasonable doubt (God and Caylee please forgive me for this):

-Have Casey either cut her hair shoulder-length hair and style it like a typical housewife, with a head-band (my personal style, lol), or some hair-clips on the sides. This may not be possible because these items might be considered weapons if she had access to them.

At the very least, get a short, soft cut. Casey has very peculiar features and the long-style makes her look a little like the Manson girls before they shaved their heads.

-Dress her in Sunday-type casual dresses, instead of creepy, two-piece ensembles.

-STOP with the taking notes. Tell her to look a little sad from time to time. No more cavorting with and that crazy-looking giggling with her defense team.

-Put her on the stand. You have to shock the jurors with something and this might be it.

-Have her say that Caylee drowned while Casey was on the computer. She lost track of her child in an instant, hence the 'flurry' of phone calls. Have her cry her eyes out when she talks about this scenario.

She has to convince them that this was the reason she was frantically looking for her parents - she was not calling about a dead baby, just about a missing one.

-Tell her to explain that she came up with the babysitter thing when she found and couldn't revive Caylee. Lots of tears and requests for water and breaks here...

-Make sure she explains about how she re-dressed Caylee and disposed of the original clothes somewhere ("They haven't even found her clothes yet...")

-Tell her to make-believe to the jury that she duct-taped the baby so that, if the body was ever found, it would look like a kidnapping-gone-wrong.

-Explain to a jury that the chloroform in the trunk was caused by evaporating chlorine in Caylee's little body, mixed with decomp chemicals.

-Have her cry about the fact that she was, after all, a little relieved by the absence of Caylee and that she was deathly afraid of her over-bearing mother and her child-molesting father. So, she will say, the only thing she could do was hide out and party, pretending nothing ever happened.

-Tell her to explain how she convinced herself that Caylee was in a better place, 'close to home,' until the decomp smell caused her to take further action.

-Act like this is all news to the DT and that, at the last minute, Casey wanted to come clean. This will shock the heck out of those 12 good men and women.

Honestly, if you get a jury who knows very little about this case, I am certain you will be able to build reasonable doubt among a few of the members, at least for the Murder 1 charges.

Again, God help me...

 

[AlwaysShocked]

Don't worry, WolfmarsGirl, even if the DT does every single one of the things you suggested the evidence will overweigh it.

Finished watching the hearin today and I have to tell you guys (DT), ya'll did pretty good today.

I could even keep up with you some---you didnt seem to be runnin in circles like u usually do<<<---JB. U will lose the JURY if you keep that poop up. On the other hand (and there is always that "other hand") JB, why do you talk down to Judge Perry? Dude, the man could step on you like u were a bug. He is way smarter and Prettier than u r. He is a man one wants to Honor and respect. The way u say "Judge" plain ole chaps my beautay. Please say--->>>"YOUR HONOR" when u address em. u may as well grab some of CA's gum and chomp away.

I think the shirt/jacket look works good for ICA. way better than a tight blouse. A tight blouse shows all a woman's folds and it do look sloopy. I did notice that ICA doesn't touch herself as much as she did---thats a good thang.

Not sayin that she aint goin down---just looks better plus if by some small chance u come out of this without smellin like decomp then you might do better on future cases.

Hope I havent said any no-nos here---is just what i been thinkin.

Mamabear, you're cracking me up!

For the love of pete -- LEARN TO USE SPELLCHECK ON YOUR POWERPOINTS!! It's pitiful. You make us all cringe.

 

[MAMABEAR]

My grand daughter called me today and I was telling her about JB and his Red Bull. She ask me--->>>Are ya'll sur JB has Red Bull in his bottle?<<<--- Didnt know where to ask this so I decided to just ask JB rat here. TYVM

 

[MAMABEAR]

Has the camera seen him open the bottle?

 

[IfIMay]

Has the camera seen him open the bottle?

yes, he sent MM out to get it. She brought the can of red bull in the courtroom in a plastic cup. He opens the can and starts pouring as JBP enters the courtroom. Instead of stopping and giving the Judge his due respect, Baez continues to pour under the desk where he thinks it's out of sight. I can't remember which day it was. Seems like last week during those aggravating days of Frye.

Thanks ifimay.
