Ya know it's not like KC has this full schedule and can't find the time to read these documents they are giving her in court before the hearings. Why can't they give these to her prior to court to read. She is suppose to be paying attention to what is going on during the court procedures. I can see her asking questions but, really, they can't take some time to prepare her. And if JB is concerned about what she writes, give her a legal pad and let her flip up the top page to cover what she writes. She paid JB $275,000 the least he can do is give her a full pad instead of a couple of sheets. Instead of flailing against the wind....cover up. Common sense here. jmo
I must find it for us, but I recall earlier on with Andrea, she saw Casey with her note pad and pen and she appeared to be telling her, no do not do that
(moments after Baez had given it to her). Casey was annoyed.
Obviously, no one should be zooming in on documents on the defense table, that is outrageous. I am shocked that the editor of the paper did not remove that shot or black out the image of the document, that is the easiest thing for an editor to do, so the spirit of the photo still depicts the idea of her reviewing something. Clearly, the judge will remind everyone of common sense on this matter. Much like a producer cutting scenes in a movie, the editor asks is the story still complete without this and if yes, you cut it.
IMO, it would actually work against Casey to have a jury see her feverishly writing notes, as she did when Jesse and Tony's lawyers were arguing on their behalf to the judge. The immediate reaction I had to that, is rut row....she is way on board with trying to insinuate them into this murder, she is actively participating. That is a far cry from pretending she could not help what her lawyers did to her boyfriend. I immediately thought, she cannot have any paper and pen at trial, it sends the wrong messages, she has very little control over her body language and it does not work in her favor! We don't need Lillian to help us with a keen grasp of the obvious.
Also, since Baez seems so very easily distracted, any nonsense notes from Casey do not help him respond when it is his turn at the podium. The judge often has to redirect him to what he is to be responding to, as he seems to select one or two points and ignore the others that the state just argued two minutes before. If anyone should be writing notes , it is the defense lawyers. I include Cheney becuase he so often makes it obvious he has a poor understanding of what has transpired in this case so far.
Does anyone have the clip from a recent hearing where Cheney stood up and told the judge basically that the state had secreted from them psychological tests the FBI had ran on mom and pop? He was righteously indignent that they just learned of this the day before in Nick's depo. Mrs. Drane-Burdick stood up to set him straight, or what I like to call, take him to SCHOOL, and told the judge that is not true. Not only did he mistate what Nick testified to in the depo, but the defense, well at least Jose, most certainly did know about mom and pop filling out the questionnaires about Casey, because ..wait for it....Baez, himself, made mention and references to them IN THE DEPO.
If anyone needs a note pad, it is the defense lawyers. Indeed if I were them I would digitally record each and every meeting, hearing, depo, phone call, etc that goes on, so I can make informed statements. We have enough easily disprovable lies coming from their client, they do not need to further embarass themselves by making bad faith accusations against the prosecutors.
They need a note pad , alright, one with some magic shooting out of it.
That was the first time we saw Linda Drane Burdick get upset. Even so she guarded her words carefully and said things like that is wholly incorrect or no , that is not true. She is one to watch in this trial. Baez and Cheney combined are no match for her, on their best day, imo.

"We've come across all kind of surprises, and have been dumbfounded" Jose admitted to the judge. Eight minute mark. Priceless
