I looked that picture up and that is so sweet that all those people are there for Abhijit Mahato! My thoughts are with his family since they can not be here.

On behalf of the murdered man I hope? After that shrine to the cop killer in NJ I think this country has turned upside down at times.

I hope his family knows about these people who are there for justice for their son.

Not the Velco, mystery basket, ingredients, etc again. jmo

Sounds like the defense's strategy is to ignore the evidence presented and full steam ahead.

Her analogies to food, ala "mystery basket" and "cake" are pizzing me off. These jurors aren't stupid. This is a murder trial, not a food network entertainment show.

'Hot air and cotton candy.'? Did this lady atty sit in on the same trail I did?

#laurencelovette defense: state's case nothing but a lot of hot air. State trying to confuse jurors w/ Carson evidence. #wral

#LaurenceLovette Closings: Kevin Bradley, 2nd Chair of defense up now. Says jury has chance to right one of many wrongs in this case

It's so telling that the defense will not say that LL did not commit this murder.

:laughing: So all that talk about food isn't making you want to adjourn, lickety split and vote not guilty so you can run out and eat until you pass out??
