Good morning all.

 

[lovelabs]

Good Morning everyone. SuziQ and Lizzybeth and all who are giving moment by moment accounts of what is going on, I thank you. I can't watch the live feed here at work, and ya'll do a great job of letting the rest of us know what is going on.

Prayers out to the families, especially as they try and get through today. AMEN

 

[lizzybeth]

I just saw Mr. Christian. I really worry about him. He looks as if he's going to explode.

 

[SuziQ]

Cobbins being brought into the room. Although Mr. Christian's back was turned to him, his face turned red and you could see the anger in his face.

Court in session.

 

[SuziQ]

Prosecution will rest before lunch. Defense can start after lunch. But they can't find two of their witnesses. One has been served and the other not. Will get an officer to find the one who has been served and bring her into court.

 

[SuziQ]

She's been missing for a couple of days and they really don't know where she is.
