Today is an interesting day for me personally and for the trial. (All quotes approx.)
As for the trial this is what we learned today;
JA: (To River Cruz) You thought the NE was the one publication that would tell your story without sensationalizing it?! (Her family got $4,000 for the story and she changed her story from telling the cops she never slept with GA to the NE article telling them she did sleep with him.)
It appears George never took a River Cruise.
HHJBP is extremely nice. He referred to JB as a trained lawyer. (Did he mean potty trained?) He also gave JB some excellent tutoring, AGAIN.
Evidently the A's have had a lot of pets die over the years and they always bury them with blankets in plastic bags with packing tape wrapped around the bag.
JA: Mr. Anthony did you ever take a dead pet and throw it in a swamp?
LDB: (to CA on the same subject) Did you or GA ever put duct tape over the mouths of your animals? Did you ever put them down with chloroform?
Burying pets with duct tape, blankets and bags is the A way of burying pets.
On the subject of the state presenting evidence that CA was actually at work when she says she was searching "chloryphill" JB said; "This is a stigma we don't want attached to the defense...presenting false evidence."
He also argued that it was too late in the trial to bring this up.
HHJBP ruled that the evidence is admissible and gave the DT this evening to depose those witness'.
My opinion of the defense argument against admitting the proof of CA's hours is this;
We didn't know that it would be possible for the prosecution to get CA's computer records three years later. Because we didn't know that was possible we don't want them to be able to use those records. JMO
The jury will not get to smell the air from the Sunfire's trunk.
As for my day I witnessed two accidents. A fender bender and a serious accident involving a motorcycle and a car. Both occurred within 20 minutes of each other. I'm still not calm enough to write the whole thing out but you can find it in the Random Thoughts thread later and I may copy and paste it here later too, but I'm a little shaken up still and this happened almost three hours ago.
