LIVE MSM COVERAGE on BABY LISA - 24 OCTOBER 2011

[Sigh Sister]

I can't fault DB for getting her hair done unless it comes out that she went to a spa had her hair cut and colored, had a manicure and pedicure, had her eyebrows waxed, and got a massage. That would be over the top. I bet that a friend did it for her to make her feel better.

As of yesterday I was on the fence for the very first time, but I have to wonder....if my child was missing, the last thing on my mind would be getting my hair done. That doesn't have anything to do with baby Lisa or anything, but the story that she passed out drunk the night Lisa went missing, coupled with her getting her hair done now, in my opinion portrays her as not having her baby as her priority. Again, I'm not accusing her of anything. For all I know, the media people could have offered to make her over for free or something, but still. I'd be too busy living at the police station and searching for my baby to care about such things.

My gut tells me that someone else is driving the beauty bus for DB. I think it's part of a PR/attorney/image consultant campaign to improve public opinion about DB. Her darker color and cleaner cut are an attempt to make her look better and, of course, someone who looks better could NEVER kill their baby! Don't ya know? Spin, baby, spin!

In the Today Show video, at the start I noticed a cat walking in front of the house.

Also, I am having a problem with the three witnesses who claim to have seen a man walking with a baby. Seems there have only been two, that morphed into three because in my opinion, the husband who saw a man on a perpendicular street, wants nothing to do with having his face on camera. I recall the wife early on saying her husband saw this and told her about it, asking if she thought they should call police, meaning, IMO, "YOU call them." Even in that first report, it appeared the husband did not want to be seen or heard from, even keeping his back to the tv cameras. Now, it appears that the wife was with him. But each time I listen to her talk about this, she never really says SHE saw anything. Until today, on the video she said "We seen." Hmm.

I just watched the ABC clip of the vigil last night - when is DB going to stop making this about her? I GET IT, she's upset, but at some point a mother puts on her big girl panties and fights back! Someone TOOK YOUR BABY, put your face up close and personal to the camera and demand they bring her back.

Just turns my stomach already. Who cares about her hair???

Regardless of my opinion about the mom's part in baby Lisa's disappearance, I think her attorney Joe Tacopina is doing a passionate job of defending her. He also said in another interview that if he thought she was guilty he would not represent her.

Me too! The white herring.

I was a bit taken aback by the attorney on the Today show. He said the decomp hit by the doggie was much ado about nothing, but IMHO seemed to be placing great weight in the white blob shown on the video.

So the decomp hit is just junk science/garbage - but the white blob should be found immediately?

:waitasec:

MOO

Haha! Do you mean cat? if not this case is getting more and more strange by the day.

That's what defense lawyers do. Spin, spin, spin. It does get under my skin.

Yes! I finally fixed it. :floorlaugh: So, is this a cat who had kittens and she is looking for one high and low? Oh, the IORNY. :floorlaugh:
I did not take part in the wine test last night or I probably would have meant car.

And when there's a trial they blast the media and the public for trying their client in the media. Go figure.

I'm not a cop, nor an FBI agent, nor an atty, but leaving the box-o'-wine bothers me.

OTOH, when the dog hit in the Anthony trunk, did they take the carpet? I don't recall seeing it in court, and the piccies showed the carpet still there. So I wonder if that's why they left the carpet in J&D's bedroom?

Just thinking out loud.

Mel

I really don't think it isn't the same box of wine from Oct 3-4th. I drink box red wine and I open up the box to squeeze out the last bits. The spout looks like it's still sticking out of the box still. JMO

i wonder if he'd be disregarding the decomp hit if it was somewhere else outside the home or anywhere that would prove they were innocent.....doubt it JMO

total BS IMO :banghead:

Snark alert.
He's been talking to the CMA Foundation? Now called Canine Malfeasance Associates, president Cindy Anthony, nurse of decomp and all around expert on everything. VP, Jose Baez, who wanted to be treasurer, but Cindy said NO. And Dr. Fairgrieve, who has testified in two court cases that dogs can't tell the handler what he smells, and therefore...

 

[greenpalm]

Surely they would take the whole box as evidence though? I can't see them pouring the rest of the wine into measuring cups at the house, rather than taking the whole thing to the lab to weigh, fingerprint, check serial number matches receipt, then measure the amount left.

regarless of it it was full or empty, I cannot fathom them not taking it, especially at the last search.

Either this atty is right about LE not being thorough, or they set up the wine cask there to reinforce the blackout possibility.

Either way, I don't like it.

This kind of thinking is why Casey Anthony was not convicted. It's the CSI effect. I know it's easy for us arm chair detectives to want every part of the story to be admitted into evidence. But think of the size of the warehouse! The box of wine itself or how much is or is not in it is not evidence of a crime. In fact, the box is not even proof that DB drank or was drunk. I'm sure prosecutors, in the event of a trial would want that information. (or frankly, so would defense attorneys in the event an outside abductor is charged). But it would have been photographed, information recorded, and statements taken from DB. (i believe she told LE from the beginning that she was drunk. That's why they were suspicious) unless there is some reason to suspect the wine was given to Lisa. That might be a reason to keep the box. But there is no reason to think so. all just MOO

Like this

The only thing they took from the house in the search warrant seems to be items that perhaps Baby Lisa had near her body in some fashion. They evidently don't see the wine box as having anything to do with the actual crime of whatever happened to Baby Lisa. I think they know she wasn't as drunk as she is saying by interview with neighbor or boy's, OR they measured the liquor and knew it wasn't possible she was drunk enough to pass out by what was gone and they know it's not gonna matter in the end if she was drunk or not. DB says she was drunk, without a blood test to substaniate that now, other than the neighbor who will really say she was or wasn't.

I feel somethings gonna break today.

That doesn't have anything to do with baby Lisa or anything, but the story that she passed out drunk the night Lisa went missing, coupled with her getting her hair done now, in my opinion portrays her as not having her baby as her priority.

I'd be too busy living at the police station and searching for my baby to care about such things.

Isn't it three weeks tomorrow? You know I think I'd be chasing my own tail, and I could easily see, having exhausted my resources, getting my hair done. Maybe at a friend's suggestion, or just as a distraction to briefly get my mind to pause. I'd be frantic if my child were missing, but after three weeks of frantic, i would say to myself, "Slow down stop and think" and a new do might be just the thing to clear my head. It only takes a hour or something. It might make me feel better and give me a fresh start.

I can't fault DB for getting her hair done unless it comes out that she went to a spa had her hair cut and colored, had a manicure and pedicure, had her eyebrows waxed, and got a massage. That would be over the top. I bet that a friend did it for her to make her feel better.

Either way. I'm very suspicious of this mother, but it's not a new hair do that did it.

MOO

GMA-a bit more video of lawyer in the home. Shows a bit of the basement, master br and boys br. She also points out LE emptied the wine box to compare what was left to what was consumed. ok dokie then!

:waitasec: Is the attorney assuming the box was emptied out by LE to compare what was left in the box?

You would think LE would have taken the box of wine with them as evidence.

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Havent been on here for a couple of days. Had to take a break. What rug did LE take then? Not bedroom? moo

Same here. Sadly, I feel like this is no longer about finding Lisa - alive or dead. It's "showtime" for the attorneys who are representing parents who probably aren't telling the truth about what happened to their daughter. No arrests or charges yet but the case is being tried in the media and a potential jury pool dazed and confused wiith skewed facts and details :furious:

He represented Joran Van der Sloot though. Which leads me to think that either he is not quite as selective with his clients as he says or maybe he just isn't that good judge of a character. MOO.
