Exactly. I've been watching as much as I can. Trial, and NG. Tomorrow, I work 3-11, so I'll be able to watch it if they're continuing the trial on the weekend. A fair majority of Saturday's preceedings, at least.
The call In's to the moderators are interesting, 13Th Juror sort of thing.
One caller was very sharp about the testimony of Casey's brothers girlfriend, the woman that sobbed and testified that Casey was a Awesome mother. A big win for the defence--BUT---
The caller reminded us that in the first minute or so of testimony, she the brothers girlfriend, stated that she had only met Casey a couple of times and did not know her well. ---All those tears from a woman who was engaged to a man whose own sister has accused him of sexual assult.
I still have questions about Grandpa [ JOJO ] an EX- police detective and his actions when he went to pick up Casey's car at the impound lot. The smell of death of a human in the car was so bad he had to drive home with all the windows open and stated he could not have driven anywhere had the windows been rolled up. ----
Got to remember both daughter and granddaughter were missing at this time and he knew some human had been dead in his daughters car.
So what did he do but ignore past training with the police and years as a security guard but remove evidence of a death from where he found it, took the car home and went to work. ----I understand now why he is no longer a Cop and has had a history of not keeping Security jobs for long.
Who would know about the smell of human flesh well enough to park a car with a body in it next to a smelly dumpster??????
It is said the car was out of gas when found at impound, gas can be syphoned off you know and this gives rise to the testimony of the owner of the impound lot, makes sense that any gas would be removed from a car or truck left over a week or two, Once the impound fees get up there in the high figures people will just let the car or truck go rather then pay perhaps more then the car is worth.
No way will a City Contractor do anything to jeopardise loss of a city contract for any reason, and I know that before crushing a car, it is totally stripped of anything valuable from side mirrors, stereo systems to spar tires, jacks and good batteries.
It is said that this Contractor has nothing to gain or loose by testifying but that is not true. He wants to keep as low a profile as possible so no one decides to look into his business dealings, competition is fierce for a City contract and his rivals would love to get him out and move in themselves. This may explain why the Contractor did not himself call the police to report a suspicious car on his property. ----
---------One way to keep from getting killed if he stumbles over a Gang or Mob hit.
It appears that something has been lost here to the lawyers and moderaters on the shows that cover this trial, the strange concept that in America the accused is considered Innocent and has the right to defend themselves from people with something to gain or just are mistaken in a court of Law.
So far I have nothing but high praise for the Judge, not only is he in complete controll of the Court Room but even when scolding the defence here and there he is doing so in a teaching manor.
The very fact he shows such respect for the Jury as to get out of his seat, move off the bench to greet them when they enter his Court is the sign of a true and honorable man of the Law.
