I really don't know what to make of CN's testimony. My brain is spinning. I guess the "hoping" in me was looking for a more MM type CN. A little remorse..regret..sympathy for the B family. I sure wasn't expecting the Queen of All B's to show up on that stand. But then the more I thought about it..I guess I shouldn't have been so shocked. she lawyer-ed up immediately. Not one step she has made from that first meeting has not been scripted. Someone posted that they suggest she find a better lawyer for her own trial. I disagree. I think this lawyer was very good at getting her through this trial. They knew this day and her charges have been coming since the beginning. They have had a plan all along. Getting the benefit of all the disclosure from the nitwit behind bars just strengthened her fight in this case. She came in with an "I didn't have a clue" defense and to show regret or remorse would only contradict that defense. They had an answer to every question or scenario presented to her.albeit not always a believable one. I think they have practiced and really prepared her for this trial. I am very disappointed in this girl and her lawyer. I don't feel this was the right route but that comes from someone who doesn't have the mind of a sociopath like she does. Her testimony was an absolute insult to the Bosma family and in my mind to the judicial system. They sure knew how to play the system. And none of this can be brought up in her own trial.
My deep regret now is that she probably won't take the stand in her own trial so a judge (as it is rumoured is her choice) will not see the condescending, cold, heartless bit** that she really is. I honestly think her lawyer is going to try and present her in that trial as a naive, sweet girl who did nothing more wrong than fall in love with the wrong man. My 'hoping" side is now praying that they really have some seriously concrete evidence on her, maybe those redacted portions of the letters, blood and fingerprint evidence etc, that this little girl who evidently feels she is so entitled will see that all she is truly entitled to is a thin mattress, cold floors and a stainless steel toilet facing her as she wakes every morning. The only surprise to her that I could see was TD's final statement and the fact that she stormed off the stand angry , without a chance to respond is just perfect in my mind. Well played!
