I respectfully beg to differ. In my opinion she could party all night and still be their to read to her child and feed her in the morning. Toddlers are in bed by 8 or 9 at the latest. The party does not start until 10-11. The Club closes at 2 so she could be home by 3 or so in the morning. She could still be a good mom.
IF she was working the night shift with the same hours we would not say she was a bad mom. If SA goes down this line, I think it will hurt them. I think they should use the party pics only to show state of mind while Caylee was missing and nothing more. If they start harping on her life style as a single mom and calling her a bad mom because of it...it might not click with a juror.
Just the opinion of a child raised by a single mother who although did go out and have a good time some nights, made sure my need was ALWAYS met and I was well cared for. She was always the last face I saw at night and the first I saw in the morning...usually telling me about her night.

ITA... Is it the case here? Hard to say. BUT..........I find it curious that JB jumped on the whine wagon about the SA using the photos to claim KC was not a good mom. He not only stuck his foot in his mouth BUT...he did so with gusto. JB likely wants to introduce lay opinion that KC was a good mom.
He "assumed" that the SA would say she wasn't. He argued that the photos have no relevance as they were taken after the date that the SA would claim Caylee died. Or actually...that the events on the 16th had nothing to do with the 20th.
LDB stated that they would use photos to rebut KC's own statements to LE about visiting bars to look for "Zanny". Well........JB doesn't want them in there becasue then it will open the door to the Zanny theory that they have been so obviously distancing themselves from.
JB will argue the photos are inflammatory...and IMO...many of them are. BUT...the photos at Fusian are totally relevant. Just as much as the target video, Blockbuster video, etc....that show her without Caylee in tow.
I would caution the SA to move far away from any reference to the "style" of attire. BUT....Judge P was the one to say "mini dress" and "up on stage". LDB even said that there were photos of KC in booths, and sitting at tables.
Perhaps if KC had been photographed "peaking under tables" or "peaking behind the bar"..........one could say...."She was looking for clues". But in the absence of any evidence her participating in a "scavenger hunt" for Intel....those photos do in fact demonstrate her "state of mind" her "behavior" and her whereabouts.
The defense team referred to them as Ugly Coping. Well....what was she "coping with" may I ask?????? JB.....it is best to recall all your past statements, arguments, and "soundbites". They'll bite ya back if you're not careful!!!!!
