I hope there is a verdict on Monday. it will be hard for me to make it in on Tuesday but I could possibly slip away on Monday to join the post-verdict group as long as you all hang around for a while - depending on the time the verdict is given.
The waiting is intense, God knows how it must be for the Dickies and Allisons close friends. It must also be horrible for the Clays. I dont like them at all, but I do feel for Olivia. Even though she might not be someone I'd be friends with, she is supporting her brother, and you know what it can be like in families, often there is quite a difference between siblings. I know from experience having supported my siblings through some bad times that they have brought on themselves (nothing as extreme as this of course), but you do it because you love them and believe in them. How shattering it would be to discover your own brother was a murderer, and murdered someone who you were friends with and really loved. She probably can't believe that of him.
But of course it is the Dickies I am really feeling for the most. We have rehashed this case so many times on here, and we have had many laughs and also tears, all because of the horrible end to the life of such a beautiful woman. I dont know how the Dickies have coped, especially seeing the photos of her body. I'm glad I wasn't in court the day they were shown. I was thinking tonight how I'd feel if it was one of my adult children, found lying in that position. I would never recover, I know that, thinking of the callous disregard and the brutal actions to cause death.
