VERDICT WATCH GA - Quinton Simon - Missing From Home - Mom ARRESTED- Savannah #5

[MsMarple]

Oh, my. The State says the Defense opened the door to L's relationship with the drug dealer.

He’s making a good argument. Defense can’t have it both ways.

Hahaha the defense may have scr*wed their own pooch.

Yeah, he's argued 'you can't use them to impugn the character of my defendant' when he just used the same texts to impugn the character of DY.

15-20min recess while she considers it

 

[MsMarple]

Hilliard is quoting a Supreme Court decision.

OH! He’s quoting from Ross Harris’ case! Hot car death of Cooper.

15-20min recess while she considers it

She's going to have to speed read that 150 pages lol

 

[NoeticSoul]

Her face during this is priceless.

 

[iamshadow21]

She's going to have to speed read that 150 pages lol

Yeah, but I guess you get used to that, being a judge. She is no doubt familiar with it, she's just going to refresh her memory.

I think Hilliard thought he was clever getting the messages excluded and then sneaking them in himself to try to discredit DY. It could be a major misstep if Judge Stokes rules in favour of the prosecution.

I hope she hurries, I have to go do real life stuff in an hour and a half and I don’t want too many recesses lol!

I think she will allow it. And boy the prosecution sure was apprised of the Supreme Court ruling wasn't he?!

 

[iamshadow21]

See, the thing is, DY was cautioned before he took the stand that he wasn't allowed to mention her possible infidelity. If he had, it would have meant the jury heard what they were not allowed to hear, so while the defense was turning the screws, he was not free to answer honestly what he thought she was doing without risking the whole trial. And the defense KNEW this.

ITA. Mr. Hilliard reminds me of (devious) Mr. Burns from the Simpsons. His appearance included. moo

 

[iamshadow21]

We're live.

 

[iamshadow21]

ADMISSABLE

 

[iamshadow21]

BOOM! That play by the defense did not go well for them. They could have just left those excluded texts alone, but they just had to try to have their cake and eat it too.

 

[MsMarple]

As it should be. IMO defense overstepped by creating a false narrative.

 

[iamshadow21]

Next witness: Dr Amanda Fuentes(?)

Paediatrician for Quinton.

 

[iamshadow21]

She sounds nervous. She doesn't look it, but her voice has a quiver to it.

 

[iamshadow21]

Saw Quinton in February for his one year wellness check. His grandmother brought him in. He had a heart murmur. He was referred to a cardiologist.

 

[iamshadow21]

The cardiologist saw him a couple of weeks later, and there was no concern. He was hitting all his milestones and seemed happy and well.
