TN - Chris Newsom, 23, & Channon Christian, 21, murdered, Knoxville, 6 Jan 2007 #15

[SuziQ]

This attorney is making stuff up because none of this is recorded.

 

[Muffet]

WTH??? Is Lavit trying to introduce facts not in evidence?

Asking Waggoner if she said he put her things in a garbage bag, tried to leave, and was brought back at gunpoint?

Where does this come from?

TK objects - as do others... Judge says to put the question as one fact at a time...

Waggoner says he doesn't remember that, will have to look at his interview notes of Jan 17...

Condescending, pushy and argumentative all at once. lol

Waggoner trying to dodge "the ? Is confusing," he says.

Lavit - did Coleman "tell u she tried leave and was brought back at point of gun"

Waggoner - "It's just not possible. That house is smaller than this court" of whether Coleman largely unaware

I feel for ya, Judge:

 

[SuziQ]

Break. But I bet judge says something after jury leaves.

Condescending, pushy and argumentative all at once. lol

Absolutely. I wonder if defense attorneys ever think about that their behavior might have an influence on the jury? I know it shouldn't because they make their judgments based on facts, but it must be really hard NOT to.

 

[SuziQ]

I feel for ya, Judge:

Best picture yet!!!

 

[SuziQ]

Dang, sound off and judge leaving.

 

[darnudes]

Am I allowed to say how much I dislike the defense att?

 

[tezi]

If I were Judge B., that lawyer would be sitting in the jailhouse for the evening, plus have a nice healthy fine to go along with his night in the jail!

I feel for Judge B., I really do....

Suzi, have you heard anything anywhere about this whole "tried to leave with things in a trashbag but was brought back at gunpoint" story Lavit is trying to paint by questions?

I forget so many things these days, but that seems too memorable.

If it were true, no way she would have left it out of any interview. imo

 

[RayStar]

The attorney is supposed to fight for his client. Don't forget they can get into legal trouble for not providing effective counsel. I don't want an appeals court granting her a new trial.

I dislike Vanessa but her attorney is OK by me.

I don't recall any of that. And he went into it after establishing that the tape recorder wasn't on.

 

[Muffet]

Back in court.

 

[SuziQ]

Judge talking to Lavit. Identify statement you are talking about, no jumping around. Helps judge, witness, jury.....

 

[SuziQ]

I think that means, Lavit needs to have it recorded somewhere to bring it up. He can't just pull it out of thin air.

Saturday is Lavit sabbath.

 

[SuziQ]

Yes or no Lavit, do you want Saturday off or not?

Lavit celebrates Sabbath on Saturday. Judge - want 2 respect religious heritage

 

[Muffet]

Judge asks Lavitt if Saturday's his Sabbath, he says yes, but... stutters... Judge asks if he usually observes it, and he says no. Then he goes into a strangely long story about how he was born in Brooklyn then moved to TN as a child... OK, so he says everyone in TN has been tolerant of his religion, and he doesn't want to be a problem for them. So Saturday is ok.

Sheesh.
