IIRC Stephan Reich said he and Beth were invited over by MT to look at rugs, and FD didn't seem to know that. FD surprised to see them there and asked them to stay for dinner. So then Hutch and wife were the only guests invited by FD that eve of JF's disappearance? Seems significant to me, what with the pond and the storage facility there.Honestly I think Petu could have benefited from a translator as the issues I think she was trying to express were beyond her english capabilities unfortunately.
The wild part about the language barrier was that the defence could have set it up for her to have a translator and it would have shown how she communicated imo with MT. Could have been impactful but instead what I saw was a Petu who doesn't trust the police, seemed quite angry for reasons I don't understand on behalf of her good friend of 8 years, claimed she had important information to exonerate her friend but seemed to share none of it and even though she had heard MT complaining over the years didn't have the ability or willingness to say in Court that she saw behind the facades of either FD or MT.
Petu also was stunning because she didn't really have any reaction to the murder of JF. She seemed to almost not think about the murder and in that she reminded me of the hollow core person Hutch Haines whose 'pond attack' by LE he made to seem like a "grave robbery' or something equally foul.
SO interesting imo that the people in the lives of both FD an MT didn't really see behind the public masks and so saw nothing going on around them so far as their testimony in Court.
MOO
He didn’t even have his amended motion for acquittal ready for today either!!So, Judge lets JS off the hook for not be ready or submitting things on time. What's going to happen Monday if JS doesn't have his jury instructions ready? Or come Tuesday, he isn't ready to do Closing? Surely Judge won't delay?
Simply no words.Michelle Troconis’ family and supporters address the media as they leave the courthouse following the defense resting.
Why is he never prepared?Monday the attorneys and judge are going over jury instructions. Was supposed to do it today, but JS didn’t have his stuff ready.
Tuesday will be closing arguments starting @10:00, then judge will give jury instructions, exhibits will be brought back for jury & then they can start deliberating.
So agree.IIRC Stephan Reich said he and Beth were invited over by MT to look at rugs, and FD didn't seem to know that. FD surprised to see them there and asked them to stay for dinner. So then Hutch and wife were the only guests invited by FD that eve of JF's disappearance? Seems significant to me, what with the pond and the storage facility there.
Asked if there was anything she wished to say, MT saysMichelle Troconis’ family and supporters address the media as they leave the courthouse following the defense resting.
this language thing is such a bad defense. She is clearly articulate and able to understand English language.It simply is not a factor in this case. No experts had even met her. JS had no case. I predict a very quick verdict here.Yes. Her father did an internship/ residency or something like that in Tenessee - they then moved back to V. Not sure how long but college was there too for her. . She has lived in the US for at least 17 yrs. It’s where her daughter was brought up. JMO
MOO
What MT said to Petu should not have been allowed, right? Put your client on the stand to say it herself.
That made me laugh actually. Petu proudly proclaiming that she had been waiting 5 years for this day. Like, woman - you didn't provide any sort of smoking gun or any magic clarification on anything.

Because he doesn't have to be, Judge lets him off every single time.Why is he never prepared?
Are there usually time limits?Has it been determined how long each side would have for closing arguments?
I may have misheard but I thought the judge ordered that they be electronically turned in by midnight tonight so each side had a chance to view them over the weekend and Monday they would meet to hammer it out. I thought D asked if it was OK to bring the hard copy on Monday. Anyone else remember that? Not that it's that important but I think alot gets missed at the end of the day when everyone is burned out from the testimony. JMOJust to be fair JS wasn't ready with his charging documents but the State also said they were still working on theirs as well. Unpopular, but true.
