Seriously, Courier?

How do they choose their headlines?

Tuesdays paper: Victim purposely takes wrong bus.

I get that this is a fact. I get that it is okay to report this information. But to lead off with it? In this day and age, people love to blame the victim. This type of headline sets that mentality into action even for the most victim friendly person. Der. How disappointing. Oh well.

Today was a good day. Lots of good evidence. Lots of the defense looking like a moron. The jury even snickered at them at one point. Nice:) Also, at lunch the owner of the restaurant bought their lunch and said some really kind words. It is nice when the world actually cares.

Everyone is home as there is no court tomorrow. They will go back for Friday and come back again for the weekend.

Looks like they might even wrap up by next week, and even have a verdict late next week early the following. Prosecution is set to wrap up soon, and the defense has aprx 2 days of information to present. So, we shall see. It be nice to have a verdict so soon. There are still a lot of stages of the game to complete once that happens which is why they estimate 6 weeks for the entire thing. But, I guess I was thinking 6 weeks until we had a verdict. The light is at the end of the tunnel for everyone down there which is awesome.

Sister is still on the "possible but probably not" witness list. Infuriated is the only way I can imagine she feels right now. She's too strong to let it show though.
