What a cold-hearted bastard. No 'please hurry', 'please help', no 'OMG my daughter'.
Seems to me he showed about as much emotion as ordering a pizza.
A parent-any normal parent-would be going ballistic and going after their child, even if it meant risking their life.
Maybe Rachel can set-up a webpage for poor Cameron.
and where's all the supposed crying on the 911 call he claimed when he was interviewed by the detective. I hit a bird with my car once and I showed more emotion than this callous a-hole.
A quick update.
I am working on Day 7, the continuation of the direct of Detective Leslie. I'm not even 1/4 of the way through my notes, so they may not go up until very late tonight or tomorrow morning.
I did not go to court on Day 8, since I was getting Sprockey ready to go to the vet. I do have the afternoon session for Day 9 and all day for Day 10.
I will continue to work on getting the testimony up for these days over the long weekend break. Court resumes Tuesday, August 11th at 9:15 am.
Thanks so much Sprocket. I so look forward to your posts every day. Please keep up the good work.
Another update:
It's 12:30 am here and I've just reached the lunch break time in my notes for Day 7. I have 27 more pages (front and back) to go covering this day. I will have to continue work on this tomorrow in between real life responsibilities.
