2011.05.27 TRIAL Day Four (Afternoon Session)

[strawberry]

:floorlaugh:

Hit Ouiza!!

 

[Moe]

If Baez keeps acting 'snarky' about George missing his grand daughter he is going to turn off the jury all together.

My bet is he already has.

 

[sleutherontheside]

Any moment now...that little bird JB has in his pocket is going to need to fly out and thump him on the head.

Yes, I know it's a pocket square, but today it resembles a bird.....and JB is needing a thumping.

JB is trying to fit a square theory into a round hole and the shapes are not fitting together. Perhaps he should have picked another puzzle to work with.

 

[Camille]

Mr Birch just testified earlier that he suggested that they open the trunk before he drove off in it.

 

[Intermezzo]

Baez
:maddening::maddening:

 

[TakingALook]

Geo, just tell him; Yes I was concerned. Because, here I am picking up a car that was in my daughters possession and she never called saying she was NOT or no longer in possession of it. And having not seen her or Caylee for sometime; this was causing me great concern.

 

[Coldpizza]

I think JB will end up with sanctions at some point in the trial

[pjmale]

Baez has to be turning off the Jury by acting like a bully.

 

[akashana]

Just do it GA...stand up and say I never abused my daughter, I didnt Kill or cover up the death of my granddaughter...so get off of it Baez....

He needs to remain composed. Even though we can see this is killing him, he's maintaining under great, great pressure. and he needs to keep on keepin' on.

 

[LancelotLink]

Yes. Approach. JB is mocking this man.

and YES, George said YES to the decomp!
I am applauding GA and that is a strange place for me....

 

[strawberry]

I wonder if CA still thinks JB is humble? :waitasec:

 

[Walk in IL]

I honestly believe that JB is planning to whip out his calendar with GA's notes in closing arguments to dramatically "PROVE" (Perry Mason moment) GA was the ONLY person who could have 'done it.' Just not sure what 'done it' will be.

[YellowSubmarine]

Let the spanking commence!

I can't get the stinking chat to work or I'd join you. :maddening:

 

[Kavya01]

Bottoms up.

 

[ZsaZsa]

Same here. I never use the front door. We have two cats and two dogs, and I'm always scared they will run out if we use the front door.

I drive in and out of the garage and then go straight into the kitchen. Seldom open my front door..

 

[MADJGNLAW]

What's the big deal about George not getting the notice? It's not that unusual. We used to live in a house where we almost never used the front door, and this was fairly common. FWIW, if I DID see something I might not have rushed to go get it, assuming is was a pizza coupon or something. Irresponsible, i know haha.


Baez is on this ice with JP with this lucky guess stuff...he'd better cut it out. Looks bad to the jury to get those three "sustained" and admonished from the judge in that tone.

Yep, I had notice to appear for a child support hearing and did not know, good thing I was already in court for a custody hearing. I came home and the notice was on my front door for over 3 weeks. I even told the judge I never received notice, and I didn't.

I also feel that maybe Casey took the notice off the door and put it back after. Casey had access to the house. IMO, the reason they are using George as the scape goat is because he was the one that told the truth when she got indited for murder. She is mad that Daddy did not lie for her like Cindy has for years...JMO :cow:
