Greetings, I'm new here and I knew nothing about his case until I googled CourtTV about another case to see if it might be televised. So I knew nothing before the trial and then didn't see the first few days of testimony. I watched the rest of it in real time. IMO, there was bias in the pathologist for the state report and testimony and the interrogation tapes, especially the second one was disgusting IMO. Having said that, I have experience with a 17 yr old senior granddaughter and a daughter-in-law who had an eating disorder when she was a teenager.
While watching this case I couldn't help but compare what my granddaughter went through with the self imposed stress of her senior year, acceptance in to college, leaving home away from her BFFs and even though she was mature in so many ways she was still naive about a lot of things. Then knowing of the experience of my DIL who had a similar situation and family dynamic in a small town where appearance was everything.
So, I tried to to be objective while seeing the evidence and it was roller coaster for me. I think the experts were a wash and personally I liked the defense attys better than the state which is neither here nor there just MO.
But I wonder about a few things ---- BSR said the baby was born in bathroom and also her bedroom? IIRC. The prosecution hung their hat on the blood in her bedroom.. so what if after the birth in the bathroom she went to her bedroom where she continued to bleed.
I wonder and it is probly not fair to say this but it was obvious BSR was close to her brother and I wonder if he knows more than he says just for the mere fact that his bedroom was so close to the bathroom.
To me BSR's mother seemed very distant in the tapes where the parents came into the room... something like "you've lost your daughter" and then said "I've lost my daughter"
I wonder if this baby was small and under weight and was easy to deliver as she said "it just fell out"
I wonder if the umbilical cord became detached and contributed to lack of growth of the baby "I didn't cut the cord"
Anyway, there may be more to this that didn't come out in the trial and that I have not heard or read- these are just my initial thoughts as the jury is now deliberating ~~ thanks
