FWIW: Board usually includes feed and hay. Self care is sometimes offered at barns and that does not include feed and hay, but I've never heard of self-care field board to cost $400 ph/m

I'm going by what Kira the barn owner said that JC pays per month per horse just for boarding.
$400.00 each

It was one of the last times she ever communicated with her son but today she can't quite recall whether she text Ethan back ' I love you too'

She thinks she did but not sure.

JC now saying she withdrew all the cash in her accounts bc her dad told her she will be facing civil suits and they will freeze her bank accounts. Hmmm

' my mind went to... well we can handle injuries' ( injuries to others)

The journal, a few screenshots View attachment 479863View attachment 479865View attachment 479864

Bear in mind that other witnesses already testified that Jennifer knew of his deteriorating mental health

I know that we're focussed on the parents now, but the journal is such childish writing on a horrifying subject - shooting up the ** school. Even when he's talking about his future, it has a detached feeling that he really doesn't understand fully what the implications are "So, yeah, I'm going to jail for life ..."
I'm having trouble expressing myself but it sounds like a petulant little boy saying "fine if no one will help me, then ..." but the "then" is devastating and real.
MOO.

' I was numb'

( she didn't appear numb when she was first put in cuffs and put into the back of the cop car on 30th November. She was yelling, complaining and cussing)

 

[Weki]

We very quickly skipped the shooting and went into how JC was victimized by the public outrage. I.don’t.care. Show some darn contrition and shame that your son murdered 4 children! Say you were scared and panicked and ran away. Leave out how mean people were to you! Ugh

This defense atty is sneaky. She’s done a good job of making the state look ridiculous with her little side comments. McDonald shouldn’t have said ‘I didn’t say object.’ She should’ve said she has a right to consult with co-counsel. The judge is sympathetic to defense!

JMO

Predictions

Will she be able to cry on cue when she's up there?

I see her turning bright red,putting her hands over her face and sobbing then throwing her head on her knees.

JC just lied, she said "I've never been charged" meaning charged before this arrest.
Smith then had her correct the claim and JC said "I've never been charged like this before".

 

[cottonweaver]

Defense counsel accuses McDonald of saying “object” “object” at states table and asks they send notes to each other because it’s distracting her. McDonald says she’s not saying “object.”

I couldn't hear anything from the State's table.
Shannon will be really irritating the jurors ( That can backfire on her client)

I caught that too.

I agree. It sounds like a whiny teenager mindset. Hard to feel sympathetic towards EC because of parental neglect or anything else. Those diary entries really took that away completely. Any parent with a teen will see this from the parents perspective, I think. JMO

The couple took 4 what before going to sleep on the mattress in the studio?
Xanax? lol

 

[cottonweaver]

I see her turning bright red,putting her hands over her face and sobbing then throwing her head on her knees.

snipped
I just saw her try to get into the grief zone, she downturns her lips and then Shannon moved on after trying to emphasise the micro-gesture for the jury ' I won't ask you about that' ( the victims)

I think she's going to have difficulty emoting while all eyes are on her( Easier to do that at the Defense table with your head down and not being scrutinised)

FOUR Xanax apiece? For SLEEPING? Yikes.

 

[Izzylizzy]

Is Smith pushing to use up the time so the prosecution doesn't begin cross today?
Does court always end at 5pm?

Today JC doesn't think she's a failure as a parent.

 

[realanastasia]

"I don't think I'm a failure as a parent."

Well. Then.

 

[Izzylizzy]

FOUR Xanax apiece? For SLEEPING? Yikes.

Yikes.

 

[realanastasia]

Oh, please tell me the defense is going to press her on what, exactly, she EVER "protected" EC from. And on the claim that "she wouldn't do anything differently" given the chance to go back in time.

 

[Izzylizzy]

Courts done.

So two hotels plus the artist's studio. They certainly moved around
( Am still on catch-up)

She's claiming the artist came to the hotel and then invited them to come to his studio to be around friendly faces and come see the art studio.
( This is not what the artist has said in the old press reports)
