State v Bradley Cooper - 3/24/11

[Wyn]

Again, you're generalizations are wrong. I've been married 10 years. Wife is stay at home, homeschooling mom (8 year old and 2 year old). I've spent many a Saturday morning (and all day Saturday) cleaning or doing housework. She simply can't keep up with it with her mom duties.

So you love your wife? She isn't planning to leave you and take the two kids? Isn't telling the neighbors how much she hates you? I still don't believe Brad would do that much housework on a Saturday morning without doing it to conceal some sort of evidence of Nancy's murder.

No man who works full time, who has a wife that does not, is going to do that much housework on a Saturday morning. Especially considering their contentious relationship. Whatever evidence there was of NC's murder was erased that during that time.

AND tend to two small children - :floorlaugh:

I had to leave for awhile myself and missed part of this afternoon's testimony but I see that WRAL has an article up and the picture in the video piece is of Det. Young holding up the dress so anyone that still wants to see what the sleeves look like, it's there.

I think you left out a crucial part of the sentence.

"No man who works full time, who has a wife that does not, is going to do that much housework on a Saturday morning.*** Especially considering their contentious relationship."***

Well, by all accounts it is spot on for Brad.

BC claimed to have thoroughly cleaned NC's car before the beach trip she took with the kids. If that's true, I think that makes his cleaning on a Saturday less suspicious. (although to me cleaning doesn't seem suspicious at all). I never heard anything about whether it was confirmed that NC's car was spotless but they probably should have looked at it since they're making a big deal out of the overly clean 325.

 

[gracielee]

I would have to disagree. My husband is the type who always has to be doing something. He does all the floors on the weekends, all the vacuuming (I mop the hardwood). He also does a lot of his laundry from his business travel that he does at least every other week. Then he usually moves outside and does lawn work and anything else that needs done around here. Then he takes one or both kids somewhere to run errands or to do something fun. I think it's just his personality. He is very rarely lounging around.

But do you also have the 'especially contentious relationship'? The HATE modes and all? IMO that is a significant part of the equasion.

Ok So I have just started following this case and watching this trial. I was listening today about the dress. Can someone explain the significance of this dress. I thought NC was found in jogging clothes??? Honestly I don't think my husband could tell what clothes he last saw me in this morning when he left for work. So I don't understand the big deal of BC getting the color of the dress wrong.

Cleaning the car for his kids, you mean?
The house was a pig pen when Nance returned from vacation.
What makes you think he would suddenly change his ways?

Ok I am shocked. I guess I was giving these people the benefit of the doubt with the teal/black/green/blue dress. I thought the color must be pretty dark to have so many differing memories/opinions of the color.

This is flat out green or "light green" you can't even try to mistake that for any other color unless you are colorblind. How can so many people have gotten it wrong?

I like the sound of your husband, you are one lucky woman!

I'm pretty sure that in Brad's deposition he stated that Nancy yelled upstairs asking if he knew where a particular t-shirt was and then yelled back saying nevermind that she had found it. Am I remembering that correctly?

Yes, and in that same vein, I'm guessing, if as has been mentioned, Brad & Nancy led a sexless life, I'm having a hard time believing Brad knew or cared what color bra's nancy owned. Now HM possibly, but Nancy, not buying it. :twocents:

I don't see the connection between the contentious relationship and doing housework. I have never looked at my husband's housework as something he is doing for me, to help me out. It's for us, the family, the household. If we happen to be arguing, he still does the same work. I'm sorry, I just don't see it as suspicious I guess, because it describes a typical weekend in my home.

I will say that he did neglect the backyard though. It looks like that deck has never been stained and the weeds, no grass, etc.

It was the dress that she was wearing (and maybe the last outfit she wore) the night before she went missing and came home from the neighborhood party next door. BC washed the dress and told others, including her friends to look for a black dress she was wearing to give it to CPD, it turns out that her dress was this one a Teal one. BC also said the reason he washed the dress was because when she got home there was a stain on it and so he washed it for her. Her friends testified earlier in the trial that there was never a spill or stain on that dress.

Hope that helps.

Yes, I am....and he reminds me of that all.the.time.

 

[lib's mom]

Don't forget, in Brad's depo with for custody almost 3 full months after he turned over THE dress, he said the dress was blue or....ORANGE.

Nancy's dress of many colors.

My respond had nothing to do with Brad. She said no man.

And especially since he didn't clean one darn thing even for just HIMSELF while she was gone on vacay - when the mess would have been obviously less and he wouldn't have two small children to tend to at the same time. He didn't wash out a dish or throw away left over food - you know good and well he wouldn't have spent 5 to 6 hours cleaning after Nancy screwed up his tennis game that day had it not been for the unfortunate fact that he strangled her and HAD to clean up - and since it was a soft kill, I'm placing my money on the fact that trying to clean off cell phones and computers took up a great deal of that 5 to 6 hours.

I think those of us who don't buy all the cleaning and such, simply believe things were so bad between Brad & Nancy that there is no way he did any of 'her chores'. He wouldn't even consider it being for anyone else but *her*. As you said, if he thought he was doing it for his 'kids', he'd have cleaned up the backyard/kids play area moreso than work inside the house IMO.

Hope that helps.

To add, possibly the clothes she was wearing when she died, the dress I mean.
