I have nothing to base this on ,so it's pure speculation,but I can't help but feel there's a good ole boys thing going on.
JB was schooled regularly by HHJP,but CM just got chuckles from HH. I don't even think it's necessarily a conscious thing,perhaps subconsciously HH leans toward the defense. He also included JA in JB's admonishmonts when I felt JA had every right to be complaining.
That incident when JA started to speak ,then said "I'll wait till counsel has finished texting" was not a cheap shot,IMO. It was factual.JB was NOT paying attention to a very important argument. I really did not understand why HH got so nasty with JA. Hindsight being 20/20 , I now have my suspicions.
We were all cheering that the DT got "STUCK" with a much tougher judge than Stan Strickland,but now I wonder if CM had this in his pocket all along :waitasec:
That's exactly how I felt when all was said and done. my husband kept saying they all look very happy, KC and DT. I would be irritated when he would say that. But it was apparent after the fact. JA was correct in calling JP's attention to what JB was doing when he was texting. It was not proper court rm. decorum at all and his priorities were to be with what was going on in the courtrm. and not who was texting him. He should have been called on the carpet for that one. I'm still waiting for HHJP's sanctions re:JB. Besides he's getting all of the credit for getting her off, Uh perhaps LKB should take some of that credit. Note he would look down many times before arguing a point, or running over to CM with questions and you saw it all. Ya know what I'm saying.
Something is not right about this whole trial, it was a total sham and I don't say that with sour grapes.
Last but not least, this was NOT a DEATH QUALIFIED JURY. Several potential jurors said they didn't believe in the death penalty and they were seated despite that.
Not that I think she should have gotten the DP, because I myself don't personally believe any of us has the right to kill another.
But if you're on a death penalty case, ya better be believin in it or be disqualified.
And 12 jurors + an alternate say they didn't think GA was telling the truth. Laughable, the one who was lying through her teeth walks free, well actually we have two very astutue liars, mom and daughter. So because we don't like GA, we're going to set the lil felon free.
"We felt sick letting her go," well your gut is saying she did it. Juror #3 states that almost flippantly with a smirk.
They marched in unison into the juror's del rm. with one goal in mind. They deliberately left their note books on ALL of their chairs in
DEFIANT SOLIDARITY?? :banghead:
The only consolation here is justice will be served in some way and it won't be pretty. Karma can be as cruel if not crueler than the original infarction.
