Prosecution staffer fainted, I think.

Oh no, I hope they are ok!

Yep. I think Vanessa Coleman statement provides a decription of how it was done. Course that won't be admissible to protect the rights of these defendants.

As geeez how could I forget, so this other %!+c# actually saw or witnessed the whole thing. ETA Yes Muffet agree!! :furious: what's going on w her trial again, I forgot.

Carpet burn on lower back. Per coleman's statement, Davidson drug her from the bedroom into the living room to give her the bleach treatment and tying her up.

Asking jurors to step out?

Prosecution person sitting behind TK fainted or something. Her body seemed to go limp and they prosecutors went to her. Judge asked if there was a doctor and sent the jury out. Yikes.

The ME is sitting next to the person who fainted, helping them regain consciousness. The video of this woman helping this person has brought me to tears.

Kiki, i've wondered the same thing. What was the plan. They obvioulsy knew how to destroy DNA on chris with fire and disposed of him. They did use the bleach on Channon, and did pour it both down her throat and on her private areas. But then they just put her in the trash and left her. I assume there was some plan to dispose of that, but what happened. They all paniced and fled first.

Suzi, I also am perplexed about the other statements, why were they sealed? there must be something in them very very interesting.

The trauma shows more than just rape - it was trauma inflicted by an object used with great force.

A part of me wonders if that might have come from Vanessa. I hope her prosecutors go there. I want her to fry too.

I always felt the same way about Vanessa.

I read about that, and wondered why they didn't look for it - it surely would have had trace evidence, wouldn't it?

OMG HOW MUCH HATRED can exist in ONE much less THIS MANY PEOPLE!

Dear God I'da passed out a long time ago if I'd had to sit thru those slides.

I think they should just break for the day, it's already getting late. Even Gary looked like he was going to lose it. The ME testimony is rough.

Some jurors probably feeling same way I'm sure... which is good news for the DP.

What worries me is more bad guys learning from these tricks of covering up their DNA in future crimes.

I thought I knew how horrendous this crime was, but this testimony has shown it to be even worse. :no:

ME's kind of a stark contrast to the defendant, isn't she? Good vrs Evile, right there in the courtroom.

I feel for that staffer. But her timing was great! I don't mean to sound callous or anything.

Oh man I hear you, I can't get over her DNA being all over. What a BBBBBB
