Hence my nervousness. Amanda is not well-spoken, IMHO. She is kind of flaky and scattered in thought and speech. I thought her statements in her last trial did not do her any favors. Rather than declare herself innocent, she said things like, "I fear being given the mask of (killer or murderer or monster)." I personally thought that sounded weird. Who cares what someone CALLS you...the important point is that you didn't commit the murder, there is no evidence tying you to the murder room, and there was no motive, the timeline doesn't fit, and everything else was manufactured. THOSE are the important points--not what one fears being called.
She needs to hammer to that jury that their own court-appointed scientific experts debunked each piece of physical evidence that implicated her and those items and that original scientist's findings cannot be trusted.
I fear that she will talk about herself, how awful it is to be in jail, how she misses her family, how terrible to be thought of as a killer, how she has struggled for months to think of the right things to say to the jury, etc., etc. Those points won't win her any friends on this jury.
