tammi's older sister was a surrogate? the younger sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia? ok . . . who's best interest was this in?

 

[gitana1]

This is horrible. It's hearsay and speculation since he was not there. He comes off much better than Tammi. Why doesn't the state force the defense to get this info out though Tammi?

 

[noor]

What???
The girl (Raechel) at Jack in the Box never had seizures.....

 

[gitana1]

Again, hearsay, about what the attorney said to them about money!

 

[luckygirl]

They weren't ok buying a baby but had no issues staling a baby!

 

[strawberry]

There you go Gitana! Hearsay objection

ETA: Ooops I posted that in the Powell forum. Knew that would happen.

 

[gitana1]

Again, hearsay about what EJ said to Tammi. And what Tammi said to EJ.

What???
The girl (Raechel) at Jack in the Box never had seizures.....

And it sounds like it was a Downs Syndrome baby? Rachel didn't mention that, did she? She also didn't mention anything about money.

I must have missed something . . . not sure what you are referencing

Does anyone know ball park what kind of tax write off you get for each kid? I recall a friend of mine who was a nurse but didnt make that much money one year and she had 2 boys and got back 9 thousand dollars and paid in almost nothing. i keep thinking this is one real incentive besides creating your own cult

 

[noor]

What did he say about Tammi's other kids?

No much, just that he has 3 other kids, he had a little trouble remembering what their ages are, I believe he said they had contact with one daughter.
Other than that it was left up in the air, (where they are now we don't know).
Maybe the prosecution will ask Jack.

 

[gitana1]

This is bad to me. I don't get why the prosecution is allowing this. Jack is good and this allows him to present the picture the defense wants to paint. The prosecution does not have to allow this.

Based on this alone, I think she'll walk.

 

[wenwe4]

They "were just blessed with a beautiful new home" and Jack said "the more the merrier" when asked if they wanted to still adopt baby Gabriel . . . . (wow . . . God really does give them money I guess!)

Did Jack lie on the stand??? His real estate license expired in 2010 and has not been renewed but yet he is currently a realtor???

Jack testified that Tammi told him that Rachel had "seizureque" behavior. I guess that was the excuse for Tammi talking to Rachel.

I suspect the Prosecution has cards up their sleeves that they want Jack to keep talking and catch him in.

Also, notice the stories that TPS allegedly told JS about how she met Rachel, etc. are so different from what TPS told Det. Ramirez.

Indeed! Would someone in the Phoenix area please run over to the courthouse and tell the SA to get their shiza together!

 

[wenwe4]

Tammi is a nurse but has felony convictions and lost custody of her own children . . . . how is that even congruent since she would be caring for vulnerable populations? Is she still a nurse or had some nurse's training in the past?

 

[artsy1]

And it sounds like it was a Downs Syndrome baby? Rachel didn't mention that, did she? She also didn't mention anything about money.

Rachel said that one of her children had DS and that the first test on her unborn baby showed it might have DS, and that's why she asked Tammi to pay for a second test.

He may have let it expire in Az but is an active realtor in Tenn.
