I'd be in hysterics. I had been in an elevator with both the defendant and his wife a couple of days after the 'accident' .. albeit not for more than a few minutes, but I did not see any tearful emotions. I would have been a puddle on the floor.<br /><br />Sprocket, once again in agreement with others here .. you have given us outstanding information and hard work. Thank you! I, too, feel as if I am sitting in that jury room. Hope you are feeling much better!

Zero emotion, no tears, no hysteria. #2 - he apologizes to the people on the nude beach that they're going to have to get dressed, because the authorities are coming. #3 - After taking the time to do that, he then goes to find Lauren, and takes HIS clothes off "so they don't get wet" before jumping in the ocean to retrieve her. <br /><br />I'm a parent. I'd be screaming, I'd tell someone ELSE to call 911 while I went to get my child out of the water. I don't care if I catch pneumonia, I am getting my child out of the water ASAP. I certainly am not caring at all that the cops/EMS might see some naked people, that's their problem.Jobeth66https://www.blogger.com/profile/11038439425452956832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-34547293916073311202009-08-19T15:43:12.081-07:002009-08-19T15:43:12.081-07:00Eye witnesses:

Most suspicious deaths are not observed by third party, so I am not troubled by "no eye witnesses." Otherwise, there would be no question as to what occurred.<br /><br />But I will say this: Behavior is powerful evidence, which is why it is perfectly acceptable evidence inside the courtroom.Sprockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837416113512618694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-22488955177861901202009-08-19T15:39:40.855-07:002009-08-19T15:39:40.855-07:00Most Significant Evidence:

I think that evidence can paint a picture, create a moasic that is tightly woven together. Some of the things I think are significant are coming up in testimony where I haven't completed transcribing my notes yet.Sprockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837416113512618694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-57275931475079436082009-08-19T08:53:38.266-07:002009-08-19T08:53:38.266-07:00Sprocket, I feel I'm in the courtroom....your ...Sprocket, I feel I'm in the courtroom....your coverage is awsome. Thank you for going the extra mile for us. It is so appreciated.<br />Hope you are feeling better.<br /><br />Question what do you think is the most significant evidence? I know nothing about the first trial and given the sketchy information I have I'm surprised he was convicted. No eye witnesses, etc. <br /><br />September mooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-17472981146614595412009-08-18T11:48:27.982-07:002009-08-18T11:48:27.982-07:00Sprocket - please do not regard my previous commen...Sprocket - please do not regard my previous comment as a criticism in any way.

My wording in my notes is clear on this.<br /><br />"Because he would be aborting his own child."<br /><br />Understand, I'm doing the best I can. <br /><br />cI don't take short hand, so I am not getting every word that is spoken at trial. My notes are comprised of my own abbreviations interspersed with fully written word text. <br /><br />What I'm able to transcribe often depends on how much time there is between the question and answer. Sometimes I mean to go back and put a Y (for yes) or N (for no) after a series of questions but I can't because things are moving along too quickly.<br /><br />Sometimes I'm able to remember exactly what was said with just a few of the words of the sentence; sometimes not, just depends on how much impact the question/answer has.<br /><br />My goal is to have Day 12 transcribed by tonight, but it will depend on how well I feel and other responsibilities. I may have to write a service contract for Mr. Sprocket today if the building owner that has asked for a bid agrees to the terms.Sprockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837416113512618694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-43155707892012773172009-08-18T10:40:13.525-07:002009-08-18T10:40:13.525-07:00Sprocket - Thanks again for the great coverage.
