The mother and sister have appeared to me to be kind of giddy to be front row spectators day after day in the trial of the moment. It's like they are somehow disconnected from the fact that the defendant is their daughter/niece and is on trial for her life. It is rather odd the way they behave. Like trial groupies or something.
But I'm sure their odd behaviour doesn't get past the jury. There will be no sympathy from them towards this mother regarding the sentence they pass on her daughter IMO. If she was sitting there day in and day out sobbing and upset at everything that was going on, if the jury could see the impact the death sentence would have on her, they might consider that when considering the sentence imposed on her daughter.
I don't think either of them are doing JA any favours.
MOO
