On Shanita Love's credibility: It's been a long time. "Some of the details will fade, but the big picture doesn't." #LaurenceLovette #wral

#LaurenceLovette Closings: "Thank God" stolen Mercedes owners were sound sleepers, says State. Suggests they could've been murdered too.

ADA: Shanita Love had no motive to come forward except to do right thing. 'She couldn’t carry that burden anymore.' #LaurenceLovette #wral

I doubt there will be much suspense during VW. M1 verdict before end of the day.

I agree Chelly, M1 by the end of the day. This isn't a difficult case imo.

#LaurenceLovette Closings: Jury has remained attentive and engaged the entire trial. One juror leans as State closes

 

[CUCKOOHEAD]

Somebody give that man a blazing red marker. That will have more impact on this calendar 'evidence'.

@jeffgoldesq why def goes first/last #LaurenceLovette closings:In NC, the def goes last if it puts on no evidence or if it is a capital case

Somebody give that man a blazing red marker. That will have more impact on this calendar 'evidence'.

Mr Bradley is sure struggling with that calendar!

 

[CUCKOOHEAD]

I guess the Tax Payer is picking up the tab for all these blown up copies of calenders? Atty didn't even put one of his circles on a whole page.

Great now he is confused ... two many months not enough ....

#LaurenceLovette Closings: "You can base it on your walking-around-Walmart common sense," says State

Liked that expression! She's angry, but she still just stays on track, not getting nervous or excited, and tells it. She is excellent. I just hope she stays on the prosecution's side of the courtroom -- no reason to think that she wouldn't. The people of Durham County and the State of North Carolina need this smart, determined & passionate prosecutor. In a big way.

Karen Bethea Shields coming in for the kill @ the lunch hour. IMO that food talk will get the saliva glands going...

 

[borndem]

Just noticed. Looks like Darth Vadar on prosecutor's notebook cover.

Agreed, Chel, I think so too. That's kinda cute!! Grrrrrr.

'Who threw the piece of pistol in the woods? Lovett did'

Mr Defense attorney that is one reason I believe Lovett's testimony. She admitted what she did along with what happened.
