Aunt cries "this is my prayer that u would just have mercy on his life" finally gets some tears from juror or 2

I hope TK crosses her.

I was hoping the same!

 

[yolorado]

His Greatgrandma had a house on the lake. (Why does she keep bringing that up?)

Here comes the tears.

Maria, did you shed this many tears for Chris and Channon?

I'm an admitted crier....I cry at commercials...I cried during So You Think You Can Dance last night for goodness sake, so I normally feel for people when crying. But these people....I feel this is 100% fake. She turned the water works right off when TK started questioning her huh? I would want to bombard the witness stand if I was a member of the Christians or Newsome's. This is ridiculous.

They don't go to visit with him. End of sob fest. If they love him that much, why don't they visit. Ugh...ok end of rant.

Thanks all, I'm just getting back in...I was hoping we would have a decision today but it's not looking that way huh? Have we gotten any emotion from this beast yet today?

 

[SuziQ]

Very evasive answers to TK's questions.

 

[yolorado]

They went to church . He was taught right from wrong, TK asks.

 

[yolorado]

Aunt doesn't want to say that he was taught right from wrong in chuch. ??

 

[SuziQ]

steelergirl, I've seen no emotion from GT except he walked with a spring in his step when he was lead out earlier.

 

[yolorado]

Was he taught right from wrong in your house.

Witness equivocates:: He was taught to respect his elders. Too bad Channon and Chris weren't his elders.

TK hammering the rich grandma "did she live on a lake?"

TK pointing out Thomas had plenty of spiritual guidance in teen years, lots of church

TK - Thomas heard golden rule, knew right from wrong

Aunt lost touch w/ Thomas five years ago

 

[lizzybeth]

They're a close family. The aunt doesn't know GT's kid's name or age. GT hasn't even seen the kid.

 

[SuziQ]

The aunt sure doesn't know much under TK's cross.

 

[jnTexas]

who is the baby mamma?

 

[yolorado]

Before he got arresed, she hadn't seen him since '02. Has visited him in jail and has written. GT has 1 child TO HER KNOWLEDGE--a two or three year old. Hasn't been active participant. Well, she doesn't know if he has. She doesn't understand. He has a baby. Maybe child is two. (Is this with Stacy?!)

 

[yolorado]

Doesn't know the child's age...or name. She thinks child lives in Kentucky.

 

[SuziQ]

She didn't want to admit she had only seen GT once in prison, but was unsure if she should lie about visiting him more....lol, she said I think I saw him twice, but I can't really remember? Huh? Who wouldn't remember how many times you visited a murdering family member in the past year?

 

[yolorado]

Do GT and Stacy have a child? Anyone know?

 

[SuziQ]

Mr. Alexander.

TK trying show things weren't so bad for Thomas, lots of loving family members offered him chance

Aunt - Thomas has toddler son in Ky, but she's not sure how to pronounce name
