GUILTY NC - Laura Ackerson, 27, Kinston, 13 July 2011 #5

Oh come on now, there is enough room for two killers and four coolers, where there is a will there is a way mister defense attorney. It's not like Amanda is 600 lbs or something.

Yep, and li'l Grant ain't so big either.

 

[borndem]

So ya'll, I'm thinking AH has to testify. How else does she get her "I was scared, I'm a victim" story out there?

Thoughts?

The same idea has been in my mind since this thing started, Boodles -- even the best defense attorney can do just so much with opening remarks. And AH's sister can't help her that much. And her daughter didn't sell her own soul to save her. I can't imagine that they have some ace in the hole somewhere...

 

[borndem]

Ultimately, whatever money was spent on the muriatic acid was a waste since the chemical didn't do what was expected.

Bingo! And just where is that mastermind GH now?? :jail:

What a narcissistic idiot.

 

[borndem]

I'm so lost on the plug testimony.

Me, too, ladybug. And pizzed. That's, what? 15 minutes of our lives that we'll never get back.

 

[Madeleine74]

It's ok to take a break and not listen to every minute of testimony especially when one gets to the point where it feels like one's time is being wasted. The case facts are the same as before so nothing will be missed.

 

[borndem]

I could have told the two nimrods that Muriatic acid won't eat the meat off the bones immediately like sulfuric acid. I used it by the gallon when I had my pool on Baquacil. Heck I think we have a form of it (hydrochrolic acid ) in our stomachs.

Well, Grant, looks like you flunked your H.S. chem class.

 

[borndem]

He seems either nervous or emotional about the testimony. Can't blame him at all.

I agree, CUCKOOHEAD -- he was a bit choked up, IMO. I saw it happen in his testimony -- very gradually. He hasn't gotten over it yet, seems to me. What an awful thing he had to do and then tell a jury about it, and not just once. A good guy.

 

[Madeleine74]

I don't think he's emotional, but he does seem quite nervous testifying, probably because of the camera in the courtroom and the live stream going out. He was that way during GH's trial too.

 

[borndem]

I HATE MY JOB!!! Ok not really, but I missed all day of testimony thankyouverymuch. Pffft me.

You can go to the daily archive, sea-chiq. Don't cry, mi amiga, don't cry.

The only conclusion I can come to regarding the discovery of the head is that LA had to have sustained a fatal neck injury. Why else would GH cut her head off at such a high point to the back of the head.

It's ok to take a break and not listen to every minute of testimony especially when one gets to the point where it feels like one's time is being wasted. The case facts are the same as before so nothing will be missed.

Come on Madeleine, then what would we have to complain about? :groucho:

Testimony continues today in #AmandaHayes murder trial, a medical examiner from TX is scheduled to take the stand

Neither one of the divers has a mask on?

I'm sorry but the diver giving the thumbs up looks like he was photo shopped onto that picture.

The LE divers are not wearing air tanks either. Laura's precious body parts were floating atop during this particular stage of decomposition. These certified PADI divers were exploring the waters' surface by manually forcing the individual water lilies aside during recovery efforts.



Amanda's fascination with Grant became a death sentence for the lovely Laura Ackerson.

From her daughter's 2011 interview:

I just felt comfortable around him," Elmer said. "He was a musician, and I was fascinated and I think a lot of what it was -- me and my mom were both very fascinated.
