Still reading but butting in to say:
Thank you for your reports on the threads! I work during the day and can't watch. Then I come home at night and still can't watch because I cannot stand to see her face or hear her voice. Vile!
I've seen lots of comments about her mother and aunt and how they should be behaving. While I agree that court room decorum should be observed, I wonder if maybe they can't stand her either? Imagine raising her and being stuck with her in your life! Maybe they can't stand her and that's why they smile and laugh all the way through. Maybe they see the DP as a blessing. Just a thought.
