Week Two, Day One...Mom's Report.

Well, after talking to my mom last night, I guess the jury is still actually laughing out loud at the defense attorneys. From the sounds of it, they are a joke, which leads me to fear that there will be grounds for a mistrial due to inadequate representation. But, I don't know how that all works.

But, apparently they number one just left subpoenas on people's door steps instead of handing them to them. Number two, of those who did come to testify, they had never actually talked to them in regards to what info they would testify. One friend of the family was called to drive all the way down there yesterday only to not provide the information the defense wanted to hear, so they sent him home without testifying. DUH.

They continued to try to make a case that Donnisha's dad was an abusive man, but that didn't happen. And, I'm still curious why that would matter anyway? All in all, most of the witnesses for the defense turned out to confirm most of what the prosecution was presenting. Most of the witnesses called to "verify" that Burt turned "crazy" during a come down actually said, "no, not so much".

Oh, and as Burt's ex was heading up to testify, the prosecution got up to help her because she has a hard time walking. She was a witness for the defense and they just sat there and watched her struggle, so the prosecution got up to assist.

Today might be the last day of testimony before the jury goes in for deliberation. I hope that really happens.
