State v Bradley Cooper 4/14/11

[Coolmomof4]

I don't even know the name of the side street in my own neighborhood. I am bad on names, always have been with roads and with people, I give people landmarks when I give directions.

Yeah, after I posted that, I said the same thing about my mother-in-law! We were in NC last weekend and she tried giving us directions to her home that she's lived in for a few years. She couldn't name a single street other than the one she lives on. It was all landmarks, after the dirt road, over the hill, 2nd left etc. LOL!

As it relates to the files being updated on the ibm laptop, do we know if those files show a timestamp before or after the laptop was seized?

Thanks.

I am not sure we totally know, they are saying they were all file updates from being connected to the server. But we were also told the computer was taken from the home and secured, so I am confused.

They were following him, the twin had accused him, there were many things to make him feel as if though he was a suspect.

Maybe he felt that way primarily because he knew he was guilty.

why was Brad wearing tennis shoes at Harris teeter in one video and in the next video wearing open toed shoes

According to the defense team, it's because he always takes his shoes off when he is in the house and he came in through the front door after the first trip but went out the garage on the 2nd trip. The open toes shoes were in the garage (according to the defense). It would match the dog watchers statement because the garage was open at that point.

Wonder if BC's daughters are here now. Wonder if they are allowed to visit him? Wonder if he still maintains contact with them?

Wake County jail does not allow visitors <16 years old.

I love it when people say don't talk to police, don't talk to police - and then the likes of Mark Klaas, John Walsh, and Mark (in Florida - squirly little guy across the trailer park stole the daughter and had her in the closet, then buried at back door - I'm so embarrassed I can't remember the names) parade across my brain and they never once questioned the police motives in asking them questions, never once wavered, never once hedged, never once backed up, never once went into a non-cooperative mode. Why? Because they were innocent and desperately wanted to find their loved one.

You don't think it there are tons of people in jail (actually innocent) that cooperated with the police? The innocence project is around for a reason.

No matter how you try and spin it, and I admit Cooper is getting Ph.D. level worthy spin and support from people he would never care about, the facts of the case aren't going to change. Cooper plotted, planned, and murdered his estranged wife in the early morning hours of July 12, 2008. He sat in his office at work, on a secure laptop computer, and searched Google maps the day before. He focused in closer and dragged the map over, where the spot he ultimately dumped his wife's body, was in plain view.

No amount of spin and wild speculative theories is going to change those facts. Not that there won't be many trying to spin a tall tale of crazy theories. Maybe the spaceship with the aliens did it.

So these neck "rubs", sounds like they could have been marks left from the younger child holding on around his neck while being carried as they were out searching that day. Her hands were on the left side of his neck in the LTF video weren't they?

They also want us to think that is how she got blood under her nails, if that is the case, that his neck had marks deep enough to draw blood the scabbed skin would have still been there on the 14th and 15th. They should have taken a picture.

BTW, I cut myself opening an envelope earlier, it bled all over, after I thought it stopped, I now have a bandaid on it. If someone came up missing it would be construted as being suspicious.

Aren't they in Canada with Nancy's brothers wife

Add to that that on the 12th, the NC's twin called him, and said "what did you do to her." and hung up.

Experience, eyewitness, information-gathering, intuition and knowledge. KL *knew*

 

[SleuthinNC]

It boggles my mind that any inconsistency in BC story is immediately labeled a lie and shows guilt of murder while the numerous inconsistencies in the stories of JA and HP are completely overlooked and/or dismissed.

Where are you getting this blood under her nails from?
Can you plz link me to this information. Thanks!

Oh yeah? And this trial is around for 2yrs and 10 mos of a much BIGGER and far more valid reason! Rather than bring tear-jerkers and Boo-Hoo artists into the courtroom, ... BRING THE REAL KILLAHS

IMHO, of course.

No shocker for me that KL asked him what had he done to her sister!!!! I would not have been so nice. The Rentz have been nothing but pure GRACE in this whole tragedy. JMO

why was Brad wearing tennis shoes at Harris teeter in one video and in the next video wearing open toed shoes

Today I went out the garage door, went to slip on some flats, but all that was next to the door was sandals, and slipper boots - actually just one of them, the animals hid the other one, I was going to the grocery store, so I slipped them on and buckled them up. When I came back, I came in through the livingroom, I took them off at the living room door. Then I went out the front door to get the mail and put on some flats, both the sandals and flats were near that door, but the sandals have a buckle and I had to go down stairs off the porch so I slipped into the flats. Later I went out on the screen porch and put on some rubber shoes that I usually leave there to wear out in the yard. I don't wear shoes in my house, so I often change shoes often when going out doors dependent on the door I use.

 

[Danielle59]

Didn't AS testify that NC had not been in touch with her for at least a month if not more?

I recall that also.

Funny you should bring that up, since DNA is what exonerates the prisoners, that were put behind bars from (faulty) eyewitness testimony.

The same eyewitness testimony that some people here earlier were SCREAMING about.

:floorlaugh:

LOL I am just not a name person, but I can give you good directions. It is always hard to see street signs too, I like it on major cross roads where they put them over the road instead of on a little sign on the corner. To distracting to look for those little signs.

Brad Cooper has many supporters and their sympathy on some other forums including news comments sites. So what does that get Brad Cooper? Nothing, absolutely nothing. It won't keep him out of prison for life. It will not keep the jury from convicting him if indeed they do. It will not help him on appeal. I am sure Kurtz tells BC of his many supporters and how they defend him after hearing the testimony so far. And it also 'puffs' Kurtz up.

I hope I am not out of line here when I say this jury worries me. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but I sense there may be at least one hold-out on the jury. Maybe it is all of the niose I hear as they are coming into the courtroom. I have heard one laughing more than once as they were coming into the courtroom. Then someone on the jury complains because someone or maybe more than one person is staring at them. When a piece of crucial testimony is given, it is only natural for people in the gallery to observe the jury to see if there is any reaction. That is what happens in a courtroom and I have observed it many times in Federal Court. Now, people in the gallery are talking and it disturbs them. What is with this jury? I do not think it is against the law for me to speak of the jury, and I do not think it is against TOS here, so I am just going to predict there there are maybe a couple of very immature jurors on that jury panel. And that worries me. There are journalists at every high profile case who does absolutely watch the jury to see if they can 'read' them. It is just my opinion that these jurors need to buck up and concentrate on the witness and the testimony and ignore the gallery. If the baliff and the judge does not see the staring and hear the talking in the gallery, then I am surprised one or more of the jury does. I am indeed worried!

I am still feeling that something is going on here (trial) that is kind of odd. This one just beats all I have ever seen.

Sorry, everyone. I am puzzled as well as worried!

MOO's

I so share your concerns. You've voiced this before, and I agreed with it then - I'm with you on this one as well.

Thanks for saying it so eloquently!
