Alice Rhea, group home "mother," says a teenage Davidson "thrived" there

 

[PrairieWind]

Unreal. This woman tried like hell to help, she sits there and says "he's my son, i love him" and he sits there stone faced!

 

[SuziQ]

He's my son, I love him.....

No reaction except slight nodding from Davidson.

 

[SuziQ]

These people are such a contrast to the jokes that testified on Cobbin's behalf. Davidson has broken their hearts and he doesn't care.

She gets the first display of emotion I've seen from LD.. this image can't show it, but he was giving a few little nods here, after she said he was her son:

Alice Ray: LD is a son to me. So much potential. Throwaway Child. Never had visitors. Loved Ted and I.

Defense: If this jury lets him live, will you be there for him?

Alice Ray: Absolutely, I've always been there for him.

Defense: Is there something you'd like to say to the jury?

Alice Ray: LD does so well in a structured environment. He can be a positive influence for years, help others...

[SuziQ]

For three years received support, care, etc....alot of support.

 

[kiki the parrot]

Pass witness.

Pros: Is it fair to say for three years, LD was not neglected? Supported? Had good, drug-free role models? Appropriate discipline?

Alice Ray: Yes, fair to say.

TK - "for 3 years it's fair to say Mr. Davidson was not neglected. U provided him food, clothing, shelter"

TK pointing out Davidson's cushy live while incarcerated the first time. TV, socializing, etc.

Interesting. Missed live shot, but the instant I saw this pic posted and before reading your comment I was struck by that same first hint of emotion on his face.

TK is sly. Asks her aobut when slim was in the penitentiary before in "general population". "He had a tv, access to phones". Not to show what is WAS like, but to hint to jury what it WILL be like if he gets LWOP.

 

[SuziQ]

TK, pointing out the real Davidson out to her, making the point that this is not the way they raised and taught him to be.

 

[kiki the parrot]

Call me a jaded cynic but I'm sure he did occasionally write or answer if they were putting $ on his books.

That was great!!!

Oh my, she and husband went to his parole hearing. Helped get him out early? Wonder how she feels about that. Help get him out of prison, then he goes on to commit one of the most horrific crimes we've seen.

 

[SuziQ]

The only real job he had, he flaked and quit to move to Knox to deal drugs.

 

[kiki the parrot]

I'm not feelin Eldridge's puppydog expression either...
