I just got on this morning. MIssed the arguments and instructions. From what I read, sounds like no real surprises in the attorney arguments.
I'm guessing mid afternoon verdict.

I'm so smart! just kidding

 

[SuziQ]

Sentenced to be announced at 2:50, in 20 minutes.

 

[Muffet]

Here we go... Deep breaths...

Will anounce verdict at 2:50 twenty minutes from now.

Just listened to the DP close of the prosecution. I heart me some Takisha Fitzgerald. She's an absolute gem, gives a great, heartfelt, honest and genuine presentation. Knoxville's lucky to have that one.

 

[Muffet]

I hope George Thomas and Vanessa Coleman and Eric Boyd are watching.

Me too. Unfortunately, the more I read, the more I fear they'll never pay for their crimes. Too many legal technicalities, lack of solid evidence, and shifting blame in separate trials.

 

[SuziQ]

Judge has never had to hand down the death penalty before. He's had DP cases, but this case might be the first time it is handed down.

I agree with you. She has a very good presence. Price has done a good job too. This has to have been very difficult for them too.

 

[SuziQ]

No one that testified in behalf of Davidson yesterday is there today.

 

[Muffet]

None of those who begged to save him yesterday stuck around for today. Wow. I actually thought the two surrogate mothers would have, at least.
