[JerricaBenton]

Will type up what went on during the downtime of this site!

Started discussing the rigor mortis. Said that 2.30am until 4.19am was too soon for RM to set in, the medicla examiner said in her testimony. WM says "I dont know where she learnt that!" "In her years of satudying, wouldnt you agree?" WM says no!

Pros - the Dr testified that there were. WM - no she didnt
Pros - Are you sure? Did you listen to all teh testimony?
WM - I did, she did not say there were broken femur.
Pros - well, lets let the jury decide what they heard in that testimony

#WesleyMathews - Prosecutor: "When someone has lied over and over and over how can you ever tell when they are telling the truth?" Mathews: "If a person keeps lying over and over and over again then it's very hard." And that's it for Mathews on the stand.

WM - Im not sure

 

[JerricaBenton]

Pros - so you, Sini & bio sleep in a bed together, Sherin sleeps on her own in a crib.
WM there is not room for 4 of us in the bed
Pros - So Sherin gets the short straw!
WM - best place for her, she wanted to sleep in the crib

 

[JerricaBenton]

YOu never mentioned Sherin in any of your prison letters
WM _ I did
Pros - We just happened to miss all those times? Convenient!

 

[JerricaBenton]

Pros - you put your daughter in a trash bag
WM I wouldnt call it a trash bag
Prods - what would you call it then?
WM - a blue bag

 

[JerricaBenton]

WM is shown the bag
WM states again - I would not call that a trash bag, Id call it a blue bag.
Pros - well what would you put in it besides your daughter?
WM I never used one before

 

[JerricaBenton]

So teh safest place for your daughter was a culvert?
WM - I wanted to be in it with her
Pros - so you hung out in a culvert with your daughter?
WM - I was waiting for snakes
Pros - waiyting for snakes?
WM - I wanted something to kill me

 

[JerricaBenton]

Pros when did you decide snakes were not coming for you?
I dont know, after some time, I did not have a watch
6 hours? a few minutes? WM - I dont know

 

[JaneEyre]

Pros - so you didnt know how much milk she had that day?
WM - she looked hungry and not sleeping. Its about 10.
Pros - when is her bedtime?
WM - about 10/10.30
Pros - so it was only just her bedtime? DOes sh elike milk?
WM - not aprticularly
Pros why not give her something she likes then instead of milk?

I suspected Sherin did not like milk. I don’t like green tea and can’t imagine being forced to consume 16 ounces of it a day for a year. They were damaging this child and it was all about power - a power struggle.

This is honestly infuriating

Mr Mathews I think it would be fair to say that your actions, not your inaction's caused the death of your daughter and therefore you should be charged with the maximum penalty allowed by the law for your crime.
I really hope he gets life.

That prosecutor certainly earned his money today. What an idiot Mathews made of himself.

Got to get the highest number of years possible.
