How can the defense consult with the mitigator if she is only a witness? Is that normal?

 

[ohiogirl]

Sister wears red, defense attorney has red tie on, are they trying to show it didn't bother him yesterday?

 

[PrairieWind]

I really do feel bad for these kids that they had to grow up like that. Its heart breaking. The terrible toll that drugs takes on so many lives. But Slim's siblings overcame it. Slim was just too lazy to work hard. Now he deals drugs that destroy more families ruin more childhoods.

Well, here comes the sobbing.........................right on que.

 

[Muffet]

Describing mother as abusive and neglectful crack addict...

When the mother was using, Laquidda would go live w/Rosie if possible...

Saw Nell slug and hit LD in many ways - fists, objects...

LD would try to push her (sister) out of the way...

He'd tell Nell he'd done nothing to deserve her hitting him...

 

[Mama-cita]

I do to!!

Wish I could remember if she was one of the ones who blamed Davidson.:waitasec:

IF she is the one that goes by "Meesha" then YES she did blame him!!!!

[Muffet]

Eldridge asks the effect all this had on her...

She says bad, but tries to repress the memories (my words)

Says LD has interacted with her kids - plays with them... smiles ...

----

Doesn't know who LD's father is - never saw or knew about him...

 

[PrairieWind]

She must be so close to him that she didn't know he hates red.:woohoo:

Oh man, thats hilarious!!!

 

[Muffet]

Siblings, in order:

Latrocrica
Lemaricus
Letalvis
herself
Lequidria
Lequidrick

 

[Mama-cita]

I don't think this girl pointed the finger at LD. But IIRC she is in college and is trying to make something of herself which is why TF brought up that although they had similar upbringing, she didn't turn to a life of crime...

 

[PrairieWind]

Here come the tears. Sure seems like there are lot of tears in this family for their own, but none for their victims.

 

[lizzybeth]

Part of me feels bad that these relatives have to go through this for a like Davidson. I guess they were asked and wanted to testify

 

[kiki the parrot]

Says she and her sister were often suicidal, depressed. Says she is better now.

Cross.

Eldridge gets her to break down crying about how there were times the siblings couldn't take it and didn't want to live anymore.

[kiki the parrot]

Go TK. Same beginnings. Same crack-addicted mother. Same upbringing. Same Baptist faith. Guess LD's bible musta been missin a few chapters... geez. :waitasec:

I agree. I dont blame these people. slim is still family, I'm sure they dont want to see him executed. They are still more victims of Slim's cruelty.
