I have no idea who let Greggie out this early. Usually computer hour starts at 9:00 pm PST.

[Greg Weston]

Just don't go out to the garage for anything.

[sunshine state]

I agree with you and I think others here do too. Something about Damon doesn't sit right with me either.

[demsux]

I'm back, apparently not the stud that I thought I was...I wonder what they're doing in the garage...I'll go check and be right back

[Greg Weston]

Just celebrating Dusek's fine argument. Looks like your boy DW is about finished.

[Rheo]

Dusek did address the spent shell casing....he said it had nothing to do with this case....it was probably carried in on someones shoe or in their pant cuff.

Stiv, that's exactly true about the 12 out of 13 - we were talking about it a few weeks ago on the Refugee site. I tried to find a site that definitively said what is a perfect match, but couldn't find one. If any FReepers can help, that would be wonderful. I did not understand 12 out of 13 being a perfect match at all, especially since it supposedly comes from the same person.

[demsux]

I can't remember who the keeper of the glossery is, but this is a worthy candidate:
Westonization: Where North becomes South, and East(on) becomes West(on). A netherworld were fact becomes fiction and imagination comes alive.

[Jaded]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoy it.

Really, Rheo. Thanks for the answer.

Cops don't use .22's, they use .45 or 9mm.

So, who's shoe or pant cuff...how many people went through that room...

[Jaded]

Brenda swore that the children OBEYED ALWAYS. They never left the yard, always asked permission, yada yada yada..... If she wander off and was abducted.

Wait it's like the sleepwalking.... she asked permission before she'd sleepwalk.

Kids are kids are kids.

[Jaded]

Can you say "Parked by the curb" or "6 inch elevation"?

[demsux]

If I were on that jury, I would find that shell casing very disconcerting

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Bwahahahahaha.......Greggie is celebrating Dusek's "fine argument".

I wonder if he liked the great Blackjack analogy or preferred the tale of the car with 50K miles. It must be hard to choose. ROFL !!!!!!!

BTW, speaking of Dusek.....will he ever be finished? Apparently he is very worried about some jurors because he can't leave the stage gracefully.

He is clinging to every second he can use to convince. He must not like what he reads on some faces. If they all appeared to buy the State's case, why carry on ad nauseum and risk the jurors' increased weariness and impatience? I think he has grave concerns.

[demsux]

Sounds like duhhhhhhhhhhsek bored everyone into submission, again tonight...I'm outta here

[demsux]

Well hell,

South, I didn't realize you were here...is it worth sticking around for awhile, do ya think?

[Dave_in_Upland]

BTW, speaking of Dusek...

He is arguing too much. Nothing he says at this point will make any impression on the juror's minds except that he is desperate. He should have limited his surrebuttal to 10 minutes and let the jury have his case with his confidence. Now it must seem to them that he has to debate every minutea to salvage something.

[Jaded]

There are a number of people who think that Damon is involved. Brenda, probably not.

[Rheo]

So, who's shoe or pant cuff...how many people went through that room

Dusek said it had nothing to do with the case!!...and neither do the unidentified prints or the 7cm coarse dark brown hair or the fibers on her body that aren't in DW's environment, etc., etc., etc.

This is just stinky!

[demsux]

Where feldi made his best point, imo, was when he pointed out that there was an "unidentified" hair WITH THE BODY and unidentified prints IN THE HOUSE...DW excluded
