I'm sure the cow will be testifying in German.

I guess we better learn a new language to take on this case….

Don't we have a fund to hire an interpreter?

Hmmm….I have no idea…Have we got anything to sell?

Eh, it was ok. He repeats himself quite a bit, and is obviously not a writer, BUT he did not like her at all. Was doing a job. So it is pretty interesting.

No Milch for you!
Wonder if the attorney is a Butcher?

Must be writing out his own defense…

Thanks for the info, I'll keep it on my list despite hating the repetition.

I'm watching an 8 part documentary on National Geo (Badlands) that does the same thing and it's really irritating.

That cow should look into using the Hippo defense.

Hey usnuz, you might like that Badlands show I mentioned above, it's a murder case in a small town in Texas. I don't know if you can watch it online or not.

Wanted to pass along this info. I think most of us followed the Casey Anthony trial. Do you remember the mitigation specialist, Rosalie Martinez Bolin, who had left her prominent lawyer husband for the guy on death row, Oscar Ray Bolin? He's scheduled to be executed tonight at 6 PM.

Why are mitigation specialists so loony? Remember Bibbiby Bobbidy Boo lady from Jodi's trial? (Is that what we called her?)

Anyway, here's an article about Rosalie from back in the CA case. I saw a film a while back that one of her daughters made about her mother and about (she, the daughter) going to prison to meet Bolin, IIRC.

Here's an article about the execution being scheduled for tonight, and about the trials...how many times the convictions were overturned. 10 trials, for 3 murders, all 10 convictions.

And this...the Ross Harris "hot car death" trial has be been moved to April.

On a lighter note...

How was your daughter's wedding? I would love to hear some details.
Hope everyone is doing well.

The wedding was incredible! We had such a great time. It was the most hectic week of my life. We arrived at WDW several days before, and DD had us hopping constantly! After the reception, we went to Epcot, and I swear, I could have fallen asleep on a bench if I had found one private enough. I didn't know how I'd make it to the nighttime events, but I did. An awesome day. Then, a few weeks later, another reception at home. Honestly, I preferred the small, more intimate WDW wedding (30+ people, vs 120+). But both were wonderful, and over and done with! We adore our new SIL and his family, and they've welcomed us into their family as much as they have welcomed her. We adore them.

On a happy note my son proposed to his girlfriend Wednesday night, I'm so happy and excited for them. They are such a beautiful couple. They have been together since high school, almost 7 years now.

Congratulations to your son, his fiancé, and the families! It's an exciting time!

My guess would be within the next 2 years. She had said she would like a summer wedding, but being in South Florida, I am hoping she will change her mind and do a winter wedding. My daughter's wedding was in Disney in 2008 in February and we were worried it would be cold, it ended being in the high 80's that day, she was melting on the Grand Floridian beach taking pictures. You can never tell what you are gonna get here.

No no no on the summer wedding in FL! LOL DD's wedding was originally supposed to be this past summer, and I was mortified. We've been there in the summer before, and I am so NOT a heat person. For various reasons, it was rescheduled for Fall, and the weather was lovely, thankfully. Altho, like you said, you just never know...we've been there in October when it's been dreadfully hot, and December, when we had warm days wearing shorts, and nights in winter coats. But I think with summer in FL, it's a pretty safe bet that it will be HOT.

I used to work for a Podiatrist. Bunion surgery is one of the most painful "bone" surgeries. Take it easy, stay off of it if that is what the doc says. Follow the instructions! Feel better soon!

I'm so glad you said that, and I actually saw it back when you posted (don't ask me how I get so "busy" being off my feet for weeks on end that I think "Oops, didn't get to respond today...tomorrow, for sure!" Every day. Sheesh.) I showed my DH, as proof of my reasons for inactivity. I have to say tho, I had surgery on a Tuesday, and the last time I took pain meds was noon on that Thursday. I'm just over 6 weeks post-op, and it is uncomfortable, and achey at times, but for the most part, things have gone very well, Oh, except for this...a few days after I got the cast off, I sprained my ankle. Sheesh! I was trying to walk through a narrow space (the coffee table was pushed over near one of the couches) wearing the boot and the leveler, and got my bad foot stuck against the other one and twisted it. It's been one of the most uncomfortable parts of my recovery. Very annoying. Less than two weeks till the other one. I learned a LOT about how to deal with a surgical foot...how to do things, what to have on hand (I got a new IKEA 4 level cart for Christmas, now organized with everything I need nearby ), and what to expect recovery-wise.

Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and a great New Year!

More, from a surviving victim, about Oscar Ray Bolin.

[MaryAnnDVC]

Execution was delayed as Supreme Court considered a stay, but stay was denied. I don't feel any glee, but I hope the victims' families feel some "closure", whatever that means for them. The crimes were horrific.

http://www.tampabay.com/news/public...-delay-for-final-appeal-to-us-supreme/2260491

Armani suits and designer underwear?? Unbelievable. Ironic that his nickname was "needles."

http://www.baynews9.com/content/new...ticles/bn9/2016/1/7/execution_day_arrive.html

ETA: done

 

[usnuzuloose]

Wow, you survived the wedding. I am so glad it was wonderful though. At least you were there. Stay off that foot now and let it finish healing. So I wonder what Roasalie thinks now that her husband is gone.

The Michele Anderson? In Washington starts Jan 19th.
A lot of good trials coming up this year. We had a nice quiet Christmas and NY's. Hope yours was good as well.

Thank you, Mare.
I'm so glad your daughter had a beautiful day. I hear you about the night time events. After the dessert party in EPCOT, for my daughter's wedding, people stayed for extra magic hours, but we just couldn't do it. Me, my husband and our daughter and her new hubby walked back to our hotel room at The Boardwalk, we were just too exhausted. My son-in-law and daughter were ready to pass out on the bed in our room, LOL. We were like, ummmmm , its your wedding night go back to your hotel please. They were beat my husband drove them back to The Wilderness Lodge where they were staying. Our son stayed at EPCOT with the rest of the guests till it closed. He was 15 at the time, said it was his favorite time ever in Disney.
I think my future daughter in law is now looking at May 2017, still going to be warm but not as bad as July, I hope. They aren't planning anything outside, so hopefully we will not melt. I am so excited to get to do wedding planning one more time. We are going to a bridal expo tomorrow in Ft. Lauderdale, I feel so blessed to be included in all of her planning.

We all stayed at the boardwalk. Thankfully I got my second wind! Next is our son, and he's just a baby (22, recent college grad). Keep us posted on the plans! So much less stressful to follow someone else's wedding planning!

More complaints filed against Juan, by various defense lawyers.

http://www.azcentral.com/story/news.../78320668/?from=global&sessionKey=&autologin=

Here's what I don't get from that article: "The other complaints against Martinez that were dismissed Thursday, concerned his accusation during the Arias trial that Arias' previous attorneys had erased pornographic files from the victim's computer." Why would Martinez try to prove that Travis Alexander had porn on his computer and that the prior defense erased it? That was an accusation by the current defense, right? Unless they meant to say that was a complaint against Nurmi. ?

At home with Nancy Grace. This has been open on my iPad for weeks...not even sure at this point how or why I came across it.
