GUILTY NC - Laura Ackerson, 27, Kinston, 13 July 2011 #6

[Simply Caustic]

What I noticed is how svelte and toned she looked having just given birth a month before. And that's what I would have commented on were I a witness asked for my opinion. And then, knowing me, I probably would have asked her how she does that.... :O

Indeed, I also consider her looking rather slim/toned, given the birth only several weeks before.

Perhaps I'm a pessimist, or focused on minutiae, but...were drugs ever brought up in regards to the Mrs.? I know Grant had dalliances with a slew of substances (jmo) but popping pills could have gotten her in tip top shape, post haste...

Although I'm sure the defense would have bandied that theory around, were there any proof. "The drugs made me do it! "

I just find the quick weight loss and...pardon my rudeness but, her crazy eyes! ...suspicious...

Good Morning all. I thought she looked very thin in the acid video. I too wondered if she acquired her thinness and energy from a giddy-up go drug. Imagine the energy it takes to keep up with toddlers , newborn , murder(etc) and travel. Yet, haggard never entered my mind. Looked pretty happy and content. Just like her convicted husband.

I have wondered whether she's a drug user also. At her arrest, she was 5'9" and 130 just one month after having a baby! Other than perhaps a Hollywood star, I haven't seen such quick slimness after birth.

I have 2 cousins who are naturally thin. Between them they have 7 kids.
Both of them were right back to thin right after giving birth, not to mention just thin from always running after all the kids and taking care of newborns.
Just sayin', doesn't have to be due to drug use

PS- Not to mention LUCKY genetics! :facepalm:

I don't understand the defense's point about being "haggard"? I mean, of course she would look haggard and tired, after what she/they did! Of course, it would be stressful and tiring and she would have had lack of sleep. That was a direct result of the murder. So what is his point?

That she was happy on Monday, but then on Tuesday GH told her that Laura was dead and her cut up body parts were in coolers in the U-Haul. That if she didn't help him dispose of the body, he would kill them all. Thus, she changes from happy to looking haggard after this.

Yes, I know it's far-fetched. But that's his point....

Question: when was a PI hired? I thought it was after their arrest? Anyone have info on that?

They were arrested on Monday, July 25. I cannot remember which detective was involved in getting the Wal-Mart surveillance. He stated the date, but I can't remember it.

 

[SurfieTX]

My feed cut out. Were both licenses in Amanda Smith?

She looked perfectly content in that photo sipping on her coffee.

How would she not hear a saw in their tiny apartment? How would she not ask what the coolers are for ? How would she not see blood and dead body in the bathroom of their tiny apartment? (These are just rhetorical questions.)

The defense has no defense, she has no defense, IMO.

Detective Faulk, who's on the stand now.

When was the PI hired? The reason I ask is that there was some speculation upthread that the 'office' pics were taken at a PI's office, but that doesn't make sense since they were not yet arrested.

 

[SurfieTX]

Transaction in Winnie...hmm...that's near the beach on High Island.

 

[Boodles]

I think the office photos were taken at an attorney's office. Looked like an attorney's office to me. There's prior testimony that they saw a lawyer, can't recall details.

 

[SurfieTX]

What in the world was the electrical tape for? Maybe I do not want to know...

 

[Boodles]

BAM!

They have AH at Target at 5:30pm on Thursday 7/14 buying BLEACH, gloves, tape, a lint roller, etc.

So what's her defense again?!?

 

[SurfieTX]

Sold the MacBook on the 16th if memory serves.

 

[SurfieTX]

A CB radio? LOL

From Vroomin' & Bloomin' to Gloomin' & Doomin' in 1.3 secs. Such a shame for her.

I think you're on target, Boodles, but if I'm any judge (

) I think it went Zoomin' right by them.

Yes, I believe they went directly to an atty after driving home from Texas. From there they went to Grant's mom and dad's house which was under surveillance by a detective who previously testified.

OH.....GOOD MORNING WE FRIENDS! Just got here.

 

[SurfieTX]

And...Amanda had the cooler receipts in her purse.

Lunch break till 2:15pmEST.
