Apparently we aren't the only ones who have questions. One of the jurors sent a note to Judge Mudd asking when the jury would be able to question the witnesses. That tells me, things aren't 'adding up' for them either.

Hey, what did I do? LOL And don't believe mizs....I did not ask for threads to get pulled..

[John Jamieson]

None of us do. We just have serious doubts that the DA has the RIGHT childkiller.

[the Deejay]

But, Kim, *When and how did it get there?* That's for the prosecution to *explain* and they've not done it.

[Freedom2specul8]

I was shocked to hear that some states allow that. Missouri and kansas doesn't allow that unless the rules have changed within the past 4-5 yrs.

[SouthernFreebird]

It's you refusal to look at all the evidence
You didn't just go there did you.....

along with your stated lynch mob mentality that bother me.

That comes from being a mother who is sick and tired of seeing babies being stolen and killed by perverts...I won't apologize for that at all.........give me a rope and a child killer and I'll take care of business, no problem, no remorse.

[dread78645]

Don't sweat it. I just hate John Anderson.

[the Deejay]

I imagine the jurors want the SAME questions answered that most of us do, too. The prosecution hasn't proven what they said they'd prove and it's very disturbing indeed.

[Karson]

You missed my point Kim. Apparently the jurors (at least one of them) has questions s/he would like answered. As do we.

[FresnoDA]

Ah ha.....YOU'RE A SHIELA!! Sorry, the Crocodile Hunter is on out here on the Left Coast...."Stay away from my potential babies...." LOL

When was this note sent to Judge Mudd ?
I agree with you. It seems to indicate that at least some of what has been presented thus far is a source of confusion or is in serious doubt and therefore your conclusion about things not adding up, sees apt.

[the Deejay]

In Nevada, it all depends on the judge as to whether or not the jury can ask questions. I've only seen one judge do this in one trial. It sure slows down the trial though.

[John Jamieson]

Yah, I already knew that, everyone calls it blood, but has that been scientifically established?

I would think that LE would first do a presumptive test for blood, then a conclusive test for blood (maybe determining blood type) and then do DNA testing. Since people are conditioned to associate blood with trauma, I thing the difference is important. If the prosecution claimed that a Danielle drool spot was in the MH and on the jacket people wouldn't be so quick to say "He killed her then".

[Karson]

I agree. And hopefully the jury wants the same thing we want. The guilty party to pay!

[cyncooper]

Didn't they send the note during the defense case? It COULD be they had a few questions about the defense. Of course, they may have questions for just the prosecution or both.

I knew grand juries could ask questions and was surprised when some FReepers said several states do allow the jury to question witnesses at trial. Very interesting revelation. I kind of like the idea if, for example (and I don't know how it is done in "real life") the question goes to the judge and both sides "approve" it.

[John Jamieson]

Would stop to be sure you had the right one, or would just anyone do?

[Karson]

When was this note sent to Judge Mudd?

I'm not sure which day but it was this past week, IIRC.

[hoosiermama]

I remember the discussion when this was posted, but did any one ever say who had just testified when the jurist made this request?

[cyncooper]

I swear I'll mash "abuse" on every one of Kimmies posts !

Kim doesn't seem to have a malicious or abusive nature.

Be of good cheer!

[John Jamieson]

Me, I don't know.
