I think at this point defense is just trying to save her life. With all the car smells like a dead body, etc. they know there is way too much evidence to prove her innocent. They just want to keep her from the DP. jmo
After watching the defense give closing arguments today on the motions heard last week, one strategy is clear. They're going to try and present KC as a scared, innocent child throughout the trial. Everything she did was a result of her being a scared child. :banghead:

Here's the portion of the hearing Mr. Hornsby is referring to in his blog post.
CM to JBP:
"In my lifetime I was raised not to point a gun at somebody unless you intended to shoot and don't call them a liar unless you can back it up. If I'm gonna call somebody a liar it'll be because they deserve it. More importantly, I'm going to ask you perhaps to give a jury instruction that says part of the theory of the defense is that a certain witness is a liar and I believe you will give that because it's based on a case of the United States v. Alfonso-Perez as I recall about 1972 from the Second Circuit Appellate Court of Appeal. So we understand that we're not just going to willy nilly go out and do something stupid as calling everybody that takes the witness stand a liar. If there's evidentiary predicate to it we're entitled to do it."

It seems he has one witness in mind since he says "a certain witness". Also, he says he will have evidence that this witness is a liar and the fact that the witness is a liar will support the defense theory, whatever that is.I wonder which witness he refers to here...Yuri, George, Lee...or all of the above perhaps.

I can't stop thinking about poor little casey being alone in a spare bedroom with big strong Yuri. The horror. THE HORROR!
:floorlaugh:
Thinking back, way back remember TP the actual bail bondsman who fronted the bond? Remember he posted here and told us something is going to come out to shock us all? I keep waiting for that moment. I certainly hope he wasn't referring to this Miranda carp.

You know, trying to call witnesses under oath "liars" doesn't tend to work out so well when virtually every witness going on the stand (including some defense witnesses) are already prepared to testify (once again, UNDER OATH) that the defendant is a "diabolical" and "pathological" liar. That pretty much everything she has said to everyone has been at least a partial lie. The key word you do not want to do is to draw any further attention to the word liar, lies or that anyone is lying. Because no matter how you try to spin it the jury will compare the witness with the biggest liar in the room... (ok the one that isn't a defense attorney). And that is probably not the mental math that CM truly wants the jury to be doing.
JB's whole line of questioning to GA about whether he would violate a subpoena is sort of disturbing and worrying. Am I reading that wrong, or is there some implied threat or encouraging of illegal action going on there? I mean what happens if GA does not show up?
If I remember correctly, LA said he lied to his sister during their visit. GA said he would lie to save ICA. Yuri said he lied to ICA when he was on the stand. It is truly a toss-up. Which witness do they want to suppress the most?It seems he has one witness in mind since he says "a certain witness". Also, he says he will have evidence that this witness is a liar and the fact that the witness is a liar will support the defense theory, whatever that is.

when JB said that....( bolded by me ) first thing that came to my mind was the grand jury indictment that GA had to testify in against his daughter......I felt JB was throwing that in GA face.....as like ya right.....you would do anything to save your daughters life??....making GA a liar on stand.....maybe starting the wheels on the bus a rollin
