I'm glad I edited, NCB. I knew it wasn't reading as I intended and I didn't want you to think I was referring to you! lol.

What makes killers so scary and dangerous is they don't all look like Freddy Kruger (well JY kinda did) and they blend into society for the most part.

I needed that belly laugh--thanks! I knew you didn't mean anything personally--it was hilarious--it's so easy for written text to take on a different meaning than originally intended.

 

[borndem]

Thanks, borndem!! I'm glad to be back. Had doc visits yesterday. I won't miss closings though!
Can I tell you I am terrified every time I type your name cuz my computer auto corrects it to boredom> Cuz you know, I don't think it would be very PC to call you boredom as you are anything but. We all adore you! LOL

:lol: Well, NCB, if you miss one & rename me boredom, I'll give you just a little heyell, and we can all laff. And now that you've said such nice things about me :blushing:, I'm feeling absolutely no hoh: pressure!!! anic:

(hugs) and hope you're doing well !

JY looked especially scary before he got out and put on a few lbs. BC's eyes always creeped me out. He'd scout out the courtroom every once and awhile--he was intense. I'm guessing you felt that when you were there, too.

We seem to specialize in the creepy husband around here. I don't know what it is.

 

[borndem]

Laid down all afternoon, just don't feel good at all. It doesn't appear I've missed much though. I don't think I'll be able to pick our cucumbers from the garden this summer though. < very weak similie/smile >

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

Now you've got me worrying about picking mine. <gag> Ack!! Bad choice of words there, borndem.

Hope you're feeling better, glee

There were a couple times I saw BC looking at me in the courtroom and yes, it creeped me out. Eyes cold and dark, like a shark.

:floorlaugh:

No pressure, no pressure... It's all true, though.

I do feel good that I fessed up to you cuz I was worried a little "boredom" might slip out. Now you'll know it was just a brain fart. Can I say brain fart?

 

[seattlechiquita]

Is there a particular high concentration of psychos in NC? BC, JY, JW, Raven Abaroa...

exactly.

I would really like to raise a glass (of Pepsi, speaking fer myself only) or two with whoever could, at the good ol' Glenwood Grill after this trial is over -- if we can find enuff of us to sit around a table. I don't wanna drink alone. It's an intimate little place, good food (not just burgers & vegetarians are welcome), quiet, casual (jeans, shorts or a suit), clean, great service, reasonable prices, and not hard to find. Just think about it, peeps...

I'm in. It would be nice to talk to someone about the case who cares as much as I do, as opposed to the conversations I have with my husband which have to be prefaced with, "Okay, pretend to care...."

JW saw a light on and a TV on. That does not indicate an empty house, mailbox or not. I think he saw her car and thought it was only her there.

I have tried to figure out what the books were that were delivered to JW but I kept getting some scary sites and I am ever cognizant of how my computer history will look due to these darn trials.

"Okay, pretend to care..." OMGoodness, Rigby--are you taping my conversations?? LOL

Glad you're in!!

 

[Boodles]

I know I'm being redundant, and given it's a felony murder, I don't know that his intent matters anyway, but....

I still cannot believe that a DEFENSE WITNESS brought up the fact that he saw the TV was on before he broke in. And the prosecution didn't even ask about why he would think a house with the TV on was "empty".

BBM :floorlaugh: --- just yesterday, the BF walks in while I am watching Dr. Wolfe's testimony at home. He says "wait, didn't you watch this already this morning?" Me: "Duh, yeah, but I'm going over the details" ---poor man almost cried lease:lease:

Inorite???? Makes your go :waitasec: ----I'm pretty sure that will be a high point of the pros closing arguments tomorrow.

I plan to get to work -ahem, ahem- super early to watch uninterrupted!

 

[NCEast]

You are not. When he was answering the questions and said his age, I truly felt sad. What a waste.

You know what, I felt sad too. He seemed like a nice guy. So sad these people who spiral totally out of control just can't see what's coming for themselves down the road a bit.

 

[NCEast]

Yup, Boodles, scared me and I'm fearless...

Seriously, he was frightening--especially since we KNOW he did what he did to KT. I talk to people all the time and strike up conversations with strangers. I can't say this guy would have sent off alarm bells based on his current state. Of course, as Maddie pointed out, he's currently sober and well medicated.

Shades of Charles Manson who could preach, quote bible scripture, open his arms to so many in love......who had a black, evil heart underneath the false good. Those types are the scariest and the most dangerous to me.

 

[no1uknow]

Well, I was watching full screen during the time JW was answering JG. I have to tell you, I was creeped out because (to me) he seemed pretty normal and quite lucid. It was kinda scary. JY and BC gave me the willies, and I took some comfort in thinking my weirdo-dar would have gone off if I had crossed paths with either of them. However, I didn't really get that feeling from JW. Am I slipping?

That's the tricky thing about Jason. I lived right next to him (when he wasn't taking his medication and was drinking/doing drugs regularly,) saw him almost everyday and I never, ever suspected him. I was totally shocked when he was arrested. In fact, the day he was arrested, I even asked one of the detectives if they were sure they had the right guy....

 

[borndem]

This is the friendliest charge conference meeting I've seen (not that I've seen that many). It appears the lead defense guy likes Mr. Saacks. He is downright sweet, for lack of a better word. And I notice that judge G is more relaxed and nice to the defense (again, my only comparison is from how this all went down in the Cooper case). What a difference when there isn't a bunch of whining, foot stomping, and finger pointing. All sides are working together.

Yes, what a relief, Madeleine -- and I'm sure Judge Gessner is delighted as well. Two words, IMO, explain the difference between this DT and Kurtz's DT: PROFESSIONALISM and DECENCY. What a cool drink of water!

Yeah, kinda hard to defend that "just wanted to break in, stroll around, take nothing, and feel empowered" argument, right? Between the TV, the rock and the CAR in the driveway, I think you have to really suspend disbelief on that whole deal.
