I agree completely that the lunch issue was a delaying tactic to give JA a chance to prepare a new lie for something the prosecutor is going to bring up. However, is it really worth saving the cost of a bite to eat if it would just end this mess a little earlier?
Come on Sheriff Joe, give the evil one a couple crackers. You can take it out of her future meals. Hell, if it will stop these delaying tactics buy her a loaf of bread and some peanut butter. You can send me the bill – on one condition – she has to stop delaying and finish on the stand before the food is gone.
But wouldn't it be a treat if JM could get away with opening up his cross in the morning with a soft, soothing voice and say the following: "Good Morning Miss Arias. I trust you had a relaxing night's sleep and a nice, well rounded breakfast this morning. Since we've been trying to address your inability to answer the Prosecutor's questions and reference your scrambled brains, let's try to make you more comfortable. Are you comfortable? Is your chair comfortable? Can I get you a pillow to sit on? Can i offer you a sweater? Is it too bright in here? I can have the lights dimmed so there's no glare on your fake glasses. If your stomach growls just let me know and I'll give you my Snickers bar. Is there anything else I can do for you? No? Well, okay then, let's proceed...... DID YOU ENJOY STABBING, SLASHING, AND SHOOTING TA? WHERE'S THE MEMORY CARD FROM YOUR CAMERA OF ALL THE GHOULISH PICTURES YOU MUST HAVE TAKEN FOR YOURSELF AFTER DRAGGING HIS BODY BACK INTO THE BATHROOM AND PUTTING A BULLET IN HIS HEAD? C'MON YOUR SO SICK I KNOW YOU MUST'VE TOOK MORE PICTURES FOR A SCRAPBOOK."
I know, I know.... Objection, Leading, Argumentative, Badgering, Misrepresenting Testimony, Blah, blah, blah. But it would be worth the contempt charge if it wouldn't cause a mistrial.
