This is just boring...Wonder if jury is bored as well.

LOL, I'm sorry. I have to laugh when the prosecution questions the witnesses. So far both sisters have made a life (without crime) for themselves. Same mom, same life, different choices.

 

[RoseRed]

Talvis is NOT the victim here for pete'e sake he is the monster.

TF pointed out Aunt Rose taught them "right from wrong," took them to church, made them all keep in line, was real strict, imposing consequences if they did not obey. Prosecutor is good...

Cobbins is all smiles...

 

[Mama-cita]

Why is Cobbins smirking as judge asked Lakedria to spell her name?

 

[raindrops300]

They like the word 'unstable'. Been coached to use it maybe?

 

[cassiusleuth]

OMG she had a kid at 14...what in the world?

Yes, and questioned, very competently, by Fitzgerld, who may have had a tough life herself but who, if she did, grew up to be contributed member of society.

 

[Indianagirl]

We get it!!! The mom was unstable!!! Enough aleady!

 

[Mama-cita]

Blame Mom, Blame Marcus. Yawn. Talvis is such a great brother, why did he rape and torture and murder?????

 

[yolorado]

Whose name is Davidson? Was it the mom's or dad's? There are Davidson siblings both younger and older than Cobbins.

 

[Mama-cita]

So if her kids grow up to be murdering rapists, can they one day blame it on her because she was "Babies havin' babies" like Misha said???

DaVIDSON was the mom's last name -- not sure how he ended up with Cobbins, maybe because she had a relationship with the dad and not with the other dads?

 

[raindrops300]

Appears the rest of family turned out very respectably in spite of their 'unstable' upbringing.

 

[Mama-cita]

Cobbins cousin Lakisha Young, has a degree in criminal justice, pursuing a Master's in social work. Known Talvis all her life, they are roughly the same age.

Logged in about ten minutes ago. Running late. Good morning, y'all.

He may have actually fallen into something that he never would have instigated on his own, but when the time came, he did go with the flow...all the way bad. Now, people are dead because he did some things and didn't do other things, brutally tortured and killed. We can't have him ever walk among us again.

I'm not sure, however I've seen Letalvis Davidson listed as an alias on court documents for Cobbins. So maybe the mom's last name?

 

[lizzybeth]

So everybody from siblings to cousins have made something of themselves. For some reason Davidson and Cobbins couldn't. So what does the defense think they're proving?
