WAIT! He looks like the guy in Columbo!!! :woohoo:

 

[seattlechiquita]

ahhh...he's talking about the kids she threw away.

Dude. Wait. WHAT????

 

[noor]

Really? They took Hanna away because her mother is an alcoholic.

 

[Troubled]

Wow they have another child. Apparently JS daughter was pregnant again and they were able to get that baby as well.

Good Lord ive lost count how many kids underage kids do they have? A brood LOL and they want gabriel too..geesh,,the one thing that crossed my mind was a tax write off!

 

[gitana1]

Speaking of Steve, does anyone get the feeling he's going to walk out with a slap on the wrist??? Anyone besides me???

Yes.

I'm very surprised not to hear hearsay objections. The prosecution is really allowing them to paint a picture of normal adoptions, normal relationships between Tammi and her older kids and paint the father of Hannah as a deadbeat.

I would be objecting like mad.
I really, really hope the prosecution rebuts this testimony with the fathers of all the kids, and really shows that these adoptions were off the radar and would not be allowed normally, due to TS' criminal background.

I've never heard of Savannah! So, they have the "perfect family" now? Oh, this is since the case?

 

[noor]

So, Tammi and Jack got married in 2004, 8 years ago.
Her youngest son is 15 now, she left her own son when he was only 7!

 

[artsy1]

No I was wrong, now Tammi is wearing a white top.
That was weird because InSession showed her walking with Jack in the same outfit as yesterday.

In Session was showing Tammi and Jack leaving court yesterday with Tammi's attorneys. Tammi never shows up with the attorneys.

So wanting a sibling means you go on the prowl for another kid. Not good i wouldnt have gone in that direction, just saying

Yup, the baby was born about 9 months after Gabriel disappeared and Tammi got exactly what she wanted, a baby!

This guys is slick, IMO. Comes off as greasy to me. Jury will probably love him though.

I'm going to wait for cross, Gitana. There have been a few good questions to follow up on.

 

[strawberry]

What did he say about Tammi's other kids?

 

[gitana1]

Why is the prosecution allowing so much hearsay? Make the defense work! And leading questions! By allowing them to get away with so much, yes, it makes things go faster but it allows the defense to paint a rosy picture through this slick, used car salesman. They better step it up or she's gonna' walk.

Yes that'll be the interesting part!

 

[gitana1]

They would not be eligible for adoption via a normal agency due to Tammi's criminal history.

He's a performer, he played steel guitar with the band the Happy Goodman's back in the day. His first wife was Vickie Goodman, daughter of Howard Goodman and Vestal Goodman. Jack's daughter that keeps popping out the babies is the granddaughter of Howard & Vestal.

 

[Troubled]

The prosecution may be letting the defense ask all their questions so they will open the door for their questions they may not be able to ask otherwise? (just my speculation)
