Makes me feel better, I waste more time shuffling through piles of paper and scraps with notes than if I organized them in the first place. I bought this cheap wood secretary for my bills with a slot for every day, makes a nice paperweight on top of the bills...LOL.. What is filing and index cards? Some new fangled organization secret?

I was going to really become a domestic goddess and fill up index cards with all kinds of yummy foods to serve my family....they are still eating crap and my recipe box is filled with fiber and hair info.

Wonder how long they will last??..the family that is.

Q: WHY DO YOU GO IN THE GARAGE TO DO THAT? A: THERE'S NO SMOKING IN THE HOUSE. Q: AND THERE WAS MARIJUANA ALSO? A: YEAH. Q: DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM? A: I BELIEVE BARB HAD IT IN HER CIGARETTE PACK.

Just another inconsistancy...Brenda said she supplied the joint, which she got from Rich Brady.

Inconsistancy number 2: These people are not supposed to smoke inside the house...remember, that is why the lock is turned around...also, remember that Damon attributed the open slider to a "smoking" pizza partier.

Does San Diego Police Department have their collective heads up their collective butts?

Just heard Chris Matthews on MSNBC--

He seems angry over the DW jury. He says: it seems like a case of "common sense vs reasons for possible innocence" He thinks that the jury has by duped by a slick defense lawyer. How's that for pressure aimed at a non-sequestered jury..

So what's the message-to the jury-Your taking too long.. Your verdict should be guilty just send him to his death and be done with it. Don't worry if he's innocent. We the nation, all know that he is guilty because we follow common sense, we cannot be duped... We weren't there to here the evidence, but that's OK you've been duped.

Sorry to hear that...they ought to call it "softball"...I never have liked him or his show...pandering to whatever is blowing in the wind

FWIW, I think the same about O'reilly, whorealdo, paula and the rest of the "smiling" faces.

Best source of news, IMO, is Free Republic

If there is not a decision within the next 2-3 days, I am guessing it will be a hung jury with a few saying guilty because of a 'feeling' about GW. The DNA, blood, and fiber evidence can be explained away by the defense. The bug evidence simply cannot be explained away by the prosecution.

Feldman said the bug evidence would exonerate DW and in my opinion, it has.

This is your brain on drugs:

Q: WELL, WHERE DID YOU PARK YOUR CAR?

A: OUTSIDE.

Q: DID YOU WALK DIRECTLY INTO THE KITCHEN?

A: WE WENT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.

Q: OKAY.

A: WE WENT INTO THE KITCHEN.

Q: SEE ANYBODY OUTSIDE?

A: YEAH. DANIELLE AND BRENDA.

Q: AND THEN YOU WENT INSIDE THE RESIDENCE?

A: YES.

Q: WHEN YOU GOT INSIDE THE RESIDENCE, WHAT DID YOU SEE?

A: WENT INTO THE KITCHEN. THE BOYS AND DAMON WERE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. AND DANIELLE WAS AT THE KITCHEN TABLE. I ORDERED MY GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.

Q: ALL RIGHT.

A: BRENDA WAS STRAIGHTENING THE KITCHEN.

They parked the car outside (as opposed to where?)

They saw Brenda and Danielle outside, but they were also straightening the kitchen and sitting at the table. Help!!!!!

Chrissy is a buffoon!!

Has there been any media head out there that is rational or honest enough to really study and discuss this case??

This jury has had a very difficult time, a man's life is at stake as well as justice for a little girl and the media has done everything it possibly could to see that he is convicted.

Mudd, you should have sequestered this jury..you knew the facts, you knew the media lies were everywhere...the jury cannot ignore it all.
