GUILTY NC - Laura Ackerson, 27, Kinston, 13 July 2011 #7

[MissSallyAnnie]

No rebuttal to that? Wow

 

[Boodles]

Ms. Hayes II ain't giving Rosemary what she wants.

 

[Prancy]

What is purpose of this questioning? Does't the jury already know they had financial probs cuz Grant didn't work?

I think the defense is trying to support their claim that there was no plan to kill Laura. The plan was to move in with Grant's parents. Just Grant, Amanda and Lily.

 

[Nymeria]

That's it???
Omg
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

She asks to say one more thing....this trial is nuts!

We just got a peek into some twistedness in Patsy Hayes's character.

 

[luckyme]

Oh man what did she want to say?????

 

[seattlechiquita]

Rebuttal done

 

[Nymeria]

Holy carp. Deliberations already?


ETA- Not forgetting there is a victim here, and may she get her justice.
But this trial is 10 times more entertaining than Grants was, from a trial viewers perspective.

2nd ETA- I forgot about closings I got so excited :facepalm:

 

[Chelly]

confused about this witness:scared:
:banghead:

 

[MissSallyAnnie]

Looks like closing arguments on Monday.

 

[Boodles]

Difficult decision? Not for me!

 

[MissSallyAnnie]

Difficult decision? Not for me!

Hopefully it will be about 90 minutes of deliberations, for my sake! :tantrum:

I don't think Patsy Grant helped the state that much. It may have even helped the defense a little. Perhaps we'll know more from closing.

 

[SurfieTX]

They are covering all of the bases. They must not feel so confident for murder 1?

 

[CarolinaMoon]

The main thing Mama did was reinforce that, even in jail awaiting trial, Amanda was sending love to her beloved via those letters.

 

[seattlechiquita]

Boo --- not in the mood for charge conference. Going to take a break. I am off Monday, but will be back!

 

[SurfieTX]

Judge Stephens is as sharp as a tack. I really admire him.
