trial day 43: the defense continues its case in chief #129

[Donnareit]

Why won't the judge make her answer YES OR NO??? Or. have her say she can't answer the question??

JM: Non-responsive.
JSS: Sustained. Ask another question
X5 or more. At this rate nothing ALV says will matter because it won't be in the record. Sadly, the jury may not know this.

:woohoo:Sneaky Juan trying to get dad interview in

 

[ilovewings]

YEAH!!!! I've been waiting for Juan Martinez to ask her if she spoke to Travis

i was waiting too and there it was! yay Juan- he is really on the money today

As only an occasionally viewer of this trial, I think ALV is doing serious damage to the defense's case. She has turned me off more than any other witness. She comes across as arrogant and totally biased. I really dislike her.

Martinez cannot let her get under his skin no matter how hard she tries.

Juan has a DVD in his hand!!!

The parents' interviews??!!!!

:great:

 

[laniefi]

She's moving her mouth, but she's not saying anything.

All I hear is the voice of the parents on Peanuts cartoons

WAH-WA-WAH-WA-WA

 

[lilyet]

Finally, some reality for the jury, and alv. Hope he plays the interview with "Bill"

Everyone knows that killers tell the absolute truths, especially this one. Right ALV?

 

[DairyGirl]

I am officially in love with this man. ALV has no way out. She thought JA was an honest person but she never spoke with anyone besides her. Now we get to hear about the parents interviews with Flores. Love it!

 

[gauntlet]

JM has a DVD in his hand. Bring on Mr Arias's interview!

ALV needs to watch that arm crossing. It just looks bad...your words are bad enough, but crossing your arms in anger (or whatever) should be a BIG NO NO on the stand!

Yes, that's 90% of her answer!

 

[Steely Dan]

She can't even admit that her parents know her better than she does!!

 

[rose222]

I'm so glad you are all here watching this. I wouldn't be able to watch this alone. How cruel to bad-mouth the father who is dying of cancer.

 

[SassyMom]

Am I alone in really looking forward to jurors' questions? I'm confident they're going to feel the same way about her responses as they did about the defendant's.

 

[corundogs]

We are moving fast.

Can anyone tell me that when the Judge sustains that the witness is non-responsive, that Juan in fact "wins" that objection?

Don't know why this is hard for me to grasp for some reason.

 

[lil_buddy]

I would be more worried about her out of court where I can't see her, then her in court tattle-telling. Out there spying for the defense doing God knows what?

Anyone know what she was convicted for?

I hate how the Judge allows ALV to wiggle out of answering a YES or no queston or any question for that matter? she is clearly playing games and martinez is forced to ask another question.

 

[QueenD]

Love how Juan always says killed instead of murdered.

He cant use the word murdered cause she hasnt been convicted. I am sure he would love to.

90% of communication is non-verbal!
