I'm finally back in NC! Some of you know that for all of 2 seconds I stood in front of the pool video feed camera on Monday August 19, 2013 after the judge, jury, convict, and victims family had left the courtroom. As I did so, the camera man said "don't, I don't want you to get held in contempt and it isn't running anyway." It was a split second decision as I was leaving the courtroom. I meant no disrespect to the Sneiderman family.
Earlier in the day, "Wild", as he is known, was joking around with me and told me that if I could get in front of a camera with that sign I would get a mug. I actually did it, he saw it, he's sending the mug and I'll put a pix up when it arrives. The WAT that everyone has wondered about stands for Wild About Trial, a live streaming website for trials going on across the US. It is the best place to find any of the cases currently allowing cameras in the courtroom as they happen. With that I will end anything further on that topic other than to say publicly thank you to all those who defended me especially Larry Peck ;) I never asked for my last blog post to be posted on any facebook pages so no, I don't owe anyone anything because they "gave me a platform and a huge view hit for my blog". Sorry but the views weren't nearly THAT big. I do know how to get my blog out to the masses thanks! Feel free to leave comments here if you have questions about my time in Atlanta because this and twitter are the only places I will publicly answer.
Onto Monday! When I arrived, we all sat outside the courtroom until the bailiff let us in. He said it would remain unlocked and we could use our phones/ electronics as long as court was not in session. I have always said that if a verdict is gonna come, it will come after lunch. That day, in particular, I felt it would be after lunch because they had had all weekend to think about all they had digested on Friday all day. They could go over the few things that might have still been nagging etc. in the morning but after they had their last lunch they would come back with a verdict.
I thought I was being silly saying earlier than 2 so I said before 3. So there I am surrounded by local journalists so we bantered about previous high profile cases etc. It hits noon which according to the past has been lunch for the jury. The schedule has been 8:30 in 12:00-1:00 lunch 4:30 out if no verdict etc. So right at noon the bailiff kicked us out and locked the doors til 1:00.
I decided to go out to my car and tinker with my ipad etc. and came back in just as the bailiff was unlocking the doors again at 1. A few minutes later I saw a female court personnel peek out and motion for a bailiff. I said something like should I read something into that... the other bailiff never understood me so I just shrugged. I saw one of the bailiffs with the box that usually contained the jurors notebooks and somehow or another the word verdict was whispered among us and he motioned to be quiet and type because I said something like I KNEW IT! (louder than I should have.) As soon as I got out the words we have a verdict with the hashtags and tweeted they announced for those of us not in the press to turn off our cell phones and electronic devices.
It was like within minutes all the parties were there because I knew the Sneiderman family was there just not in the courtroom, we had seen lawyers from both sides around so it really didn't take long to get everyone assembled. It was Andrea's side that took the longest to assemble. Rusty's brother or his father had brought these sheets in that were pre-printed with the counts and guilt or not guilty boxes next to them so you could just go down and x as they were read out. Y'all know the verdict. 9 felony convictions. Wonder if she knows she can't vote as a convicted felon. I looked back at the Sneiderman's lawyer with a big smile as they took her into custody immediately.
Nobody ever wins in cases like this. The biggest victims of course are the kids. Andrea says Hemy took Rusty away from them but she had a hand in it obviously so now they won't have both parents for maybe 4 years. Andrea will get to be there for Sophia's Bat Mitzva, wedding, babies, etc. Andrea will get to be there for Ian's Bar Mitzva, wedding, babies, etc. Rusty won't.
No matter what the outcome was to this case nothing would bring Rusty back. It won't make the hurt in his families hearts any less painful. It won't make them miss him any less. The best things for those kids though? Both sides of the family working together to be there for the kids and to let both sides be there for the kids. The blame stops at Andrea. Everyone else should be there for those kids and should be allowed to be there for those kids and it not even be some issue that has to be fought. Family is family.

Andrea Sneiderman Trial
So, I've been down in Atlanta all week for the Andrea Sneiderman trial. She was originally charged with 3 bigger charges towards killing her husband but the Friday before the jury selection was to begin the state dropped those 3 charges. They can still bring those charges back. HLN/CNN decided that because they dropped those charges they would not be covering the case and would cover another case in its place.
I drove down Friday August 10, 2013 and am staying with my family in Canton. See, I was born in Atlanta and lived there off and on for 14 years. I grew up in Willow Pointe where everyone knew everyone and the kids ran freely from yard to yard, house to house, dawn til dusk no locked doors. When I moved back I lived in Brookstone I where you knew a lot of your neighbors because we moved in when it was just starting to be built.
I actually went back to my old first neighborhood last Saturday and the neighbors I grew up with still live there. I got to catch up with them and recall old times. It was like nothing had changed! I miss that neighborhood because in reality so much has changed in the 30 years since I have lived there in the world. My nieces can't do the same things their mom and I could. I fear for their safety daily out in Canton.
The biggest change? People have started picking on people that are different from them for no reason. I showed up nice and early on Monday to the courthouse. I was told to turn my cell phone off by some court attenders and then by the bailiff and I told him all the sounds and alerts were off. The sidebar first thing was regarding the fact I was refusing to turn my phone off. I heard at the end he would deal with it if something happened. I think they were concerned I might take photos too (I realized that later). I had to leave at the lunch break because my back was really bothering me. I found out at that time that it was NOT free for handicap parking in the tower as the court website had led to believe.
Tuesday morning I went to where the guy in the tower told me the free handicap parking was and was told it wasn't so I had to head back to get cash then head back to court. I got up to the floor and sat outside the courtroom waiting for the next break because they had told me the first day to turn my cell phone off and I said the sounds were all off I was tweeting live. When I got on the floor there were a group of people that were all like "oh look who's back!" "why is she here?"
They went so far as to snap photos (yes I saw y'all whether or not you think I did) and say things such as "must be nice to have a job that pays enough to let you drive down here to attend a trial you aren't a part of" etc. you get the drift. I was dared by a friend to snap a pix since they had since the sounds were off my phone they wouldn't hear it etc. Let's just say silent hall shutter sound WAS active. INNOCUOUS photo of the HALLWAY not people was taken and deleted.
This really set them off. They started saying "oh you want to take our photos?" and started ridiculously posing. At one point when someone came off the elevator they said look who's here! so I turned and with a big smile on my face I did a big animated wave and went back to ignoring them. Turns out they were witnesses to boot! I did something I shouldn't have because I was tired of them talking about me etc. so I posted a tweet... and if they were witnesses they shouldn't have seen it but it was to the tune of " (hashtag) to the catty bitches in the hallway I heard your entire conversation about me and that was very rude.
I know, I know, I stooped to their level. When the break did come they ran up to the defense attorney's saying look who's here! why is she here? They even at one point had tried to call security saying I was a suspicious person! (yes I heard that too girls) As I went in the courtroom I caught them say "go get her" to the defense attorney etc. I had deleted the photo and covered my camera so the bailiffs would be happy. I had also deleted the catty tweet.
I got to tweet for a few minutes until I tweeted the apology to those ladies in the hallway when I realized they were witnesses. Then he made me turn my phone off and I did. had a huge smile on my face for the rest of the day to show them they didn't get to me.... until I was heading back to Canton that night.
I was at a stop light and decided to put my top down but the light turned green, I freaked out and started driving... popped a tired and bent a wheel. one of the hecklers was behind me. just what I needed. AAA switched my tired to a donut and off to my folks I went.
Wednesday I went to the Tire shop to get the new tire we had ordered but then wheel was bent so I had to wait another day to get that back so I went home and rested because I really hadn't slept anyway. Thursday morning I got the tired put on and headed down to the courthouse just in time for closing arguments! I had rallied the troops from #DMTDC and a bunch of us came together at the last moment for them! we all barraged the courtroom for seats and floored Andreas side.
When I came up on the floor to begin with I heard " she's not taking my picture" several times over and just rolled my eyes because my phone wasn't on or even out! I ended up sitting in front of Rusty's family. They are the sweetest people and no one is really caring about them. During the break b/w arguments I asked how they were doing, if they had had something to eat or drink today etc. and they hadn't. I told them they had to because Rusty wouldn't want them to be like this. He would want them well to fight this fight for him. We talked about more I respect them enough to not post about it.
I went from the courthouse to a great get together with the #DMTDC! It was great meeting everyone in person! y'all rock! Thank you David for everything you have done and continue to do! OH! I didn't go down to the court house on Friday because I felt miserable but I live tweeted from my parents all day. I have decided to stay and go on Monday with my father to wait for a verdict. We won't be there to bother anyone, or disrupt anything. Both of our phones will be off when the judge is not on the bench or on the record. We respect the fact that everyone there has been affected by this case in one way or another and we don't want to add to it.
I drove down from the Raleigh area of NC for this. I have been to several big cases because I want to see the ins and outs of the courtroom procedures etc. I'm considering going back to school for criminal justice. It's no one's business why I'm there. Anyone can walk off the street and sit in there as it is open to the public. If you must know, I don't have a job and we had to pinch pennies for me to be able to do this. Thankfully I have family here I can stay with. The wheel incident certainly didn't help things. Don't judge people before you meet them. I judged you because of what you were saying about me.

More on George Zimmerman case
You know, why does the court bother sealing the jurors information if they are just going to come out and do interviews within days of the verdicts? Juror B37 keeps talking to Anderson Cooper. The more she says the more pissed off I get she was able to stealth her way onto the jury as a stealth juror. Come on! Her husband was a lawyer! They are already in talks of writing a book together from the vantage points of juror and a lawyer. *rhe* PUHLEASE! I bet that deal was made when she got called back but before she got sworn in!
She doesn't think he should have done everything he did leading up to the shooting. HELLO! If he never left his car there never would have been a case to begin with! I really do feel sorry that 4 of the other jurors felt they had to release a statement saying she doesn't speak for them and 1 has continued to stay silent because they wanted to be completely left alone afterwards. I wonder if that was the one that wanted to find him guilty of something.
I have said that I respect their decision that they came to with what they were given. I don't agree with it and I don't have to. I also don't have to shove my opinion down others throats and I don't and won't. I choose not to go rioting in the streets trashing establishments windows etc. Those that do damage others property due to their disagreeing with the verdict are no better than George Zimmerman pulling that trigger. You can protest peacefully without damaging others property. Trayvon wouldn't want you to protest like this. His family has asked for everything to be done peacefully.
Think before you act! Trayvon wasn't a thug, he was a 17 year old kid just trying to get back to his dad's home with his bag of skittles and drink. btw the new craze of "Trayvoning" is very distasteful. Seriously?? Come on people? Think before you act!
Peace and love.

Trayvon Martin- George Zimmerman found not guilty
So, I had an open mind when this case started. I was willing to believe George Zimmerman was innocent until some evidence was shown to me that told me otherwise. While you may not like Trayvon's friend Rachel, I think she had the truest version of what happened. Being the age she was and the fact she was the last to talk to him prior to being shot, she was traumatized very badly. That is why she didn't want to get involved. She was involved with drugs and alcohol and it appears still is. She is in deep need of therapy and help to deal with the obvious tremendous guilt she feels for being the last to talk to Trayvon etc.
When I heard the non emergency calls from the months that led up to the incident I distinctly heard 2 of them where he was in his car in the middle of the night. He stayed in his car but followed the out of place boys to the back gate and noted each time they ended up in the neighborhood behind theirs by the time the cops got there. In one call he even told that to the operator that they should have someone respond to that neighborhood and his.
When he made these calls, he started them all with almost the same exact script of "um yeah, hi we've had a lot of break ins in our neighborhood recently and I'm part of the neighborhood watch and there are these suspicious guys.. etc." there were never any other descriptions of guys other than black. He knew what to say having been the point person for the neighborhood to set up the neighborhood watch with the police person that does the presentation on what it is about and the dos and don'ts etc.
He also had 167 hours of class time in criminal justice classes which included time on self defense/stand your ground. The teacher of that class said he was a great student and was very inquisitive. they didn't just go over that subject once in the class and drop it, the teacher brought up scenarios all the time. He referred to his gun as his firearm not a gun. He used police jargon. He said he holstered his firearm.
If you recall on the call that evening he told the operator he was following Trayvon and was told he didn't have to so he said he was heading back to his car. At one point he said he was looking for an address, street etc. for the police officers coming in to tell them where he was. There are only 3 roads in that complex and he had lived there for YEARS. He said he was attacked when heading back to his truck, but if this was true, why would he tell the operator to have them call his cell and he would tell them where he was?
In the past he never got out of his car, he always followed them to the back gate with his vehicle and stayed in it, so why the change this time? because they always got away! he was looking for where he disappeared to. He wasn't returning to his truck. He was tracking Trayvon.
Had he done the same as he'd done in the past, none of this would have happened. He did. The jury looked at all the evidence and delivered their verdict. We have to respect their verdict. We don't have to agree or like it but it is their verdict.
Let me put out there that saying nasty things like bad things should happen to lawyers, witness', or any players in any court cases etc.? that can get you arrested and possibly dealing with the FBI. They are watching and they do take it seriously. Look at the kid that thought it was ok to post what he thought was a joke regarding a school near him who spent time in jail and just got out on bail. Posting people's real addresses, phone numbers, google earth pictures of their houses, pictures of their family members, etc. all not ok. Don't take the law into your own hands. That is all illegal and uncool.
If you would like to do something peaceful regarding the verdict, how about put on a hoodie (not over your head just on), go to your local food mart(gas station market), pick out your favorite non alcoholic drink, pick up a bag of skittles or a bag of candy of your choice, pay for it of course, when you get outside put your hoodie on and walk home minding your own business. Don't listen to what anyone says or does. Finish what Trayvon couldn't.

Jodi Arias Verdict
GUILTY!!!!!! 1st degree premeditated murder! do NOT give her the death penalty because that is what she wants. Give her life without parole in solitary! that will kill her! She will get better treatment on death row than she will elsewhere!
Sheriff Joe needs to be ousted and replaced. That was so unbelievably unethical to let her go directly from the verdict to a television interview! Shame on you! Your 15 minutes of fame are long gone sir! 20 years is long enough for you but 25 years is not long enough for Jodi!
I realize it was indeed especially cruel but y'all don't realize the way they are treated on death row with the relentless appeals etc. it will take 12 years minimum to kill her. She shouldn't be allowed to sell anymore of her artwork etc. She shouldn't be able to get tweets out etc.
She looked so smug when the verdict was being delivered. So psycho that she was able to control those emotions! good lord!

The Jodi Arias Trial
So I guess that this Wednesday will be the start of week 12 with only 2 days. This is getting ridiculous! Maybe like the Sandusky case, they should start having court on the weekend.
So like most other trials that interest me, I have a chat room on facebook. But, due to some debby downers, it's now secret as will any other room I create for real time chatting during a trial that is live streaming. If you aren't already in it, you probably won't be in it.
People question my intelligence and or my knowledge of cases and or the law. These are the same people that sit behind their computer screens all day instead of getting out and actually attending a few of these interesting cases as I have done. They are also the ones that apparently aren't so interested in the case that they have never been to a crime scene or places associated with the cases. My youtube channel proves that for me.
I think that Jodi is a sociopath that upon learning she wasn't going to Cancun with Travis, plotted to kill him. She stole her grandfathers gun 2 weeks prior, got gas cans so she wouldn't have to stop, etc. Has anyone considered that the 3rd gas can was used to burn all of the evidence out in the desert?
I still wonder about the roommates of Travis not needing to do their clothes, being able to walk by his room and not be suspicious as Mimi said they could smell death as soon as they opened the front door. There is evidence out there that a roommate was going to use the clothes washer but saw clothes in there and went up to talk to Travis. There is a sneaker impression in the blood on the tile no one has talked about. Was Jodi conspiring with a roommate and that is who dragged him back to the shower?
Another thing to think about, a video came out recently of Travis speaking of an attack that sounds eerily similar to the one Jodi described as the "Ninja Attack" her 2nd story. The way she looks in the video draped over him and not really engaged in the conversation or the people around. She wanted him all to herself but he was happy sitting there telling his story. he obviously DID show PDA as per that video.
Oh and I had another thought... we've never heard from Victor Arias or his family. We have seen no pictures. Anyone else find it convenient he has her last name... and what some don't know is Travis' middle name was Victor! How was she doing an exchange program when she wasn't in school? Just some things to think about.
She did it, she's admitted to it, and she's showing no remorse. She's begging for the jury to save her life through her testimony. I think that like Casey Anthony would have had she been convicted, she's having too much fun in jail and has turned to the girly side. She still doesn't get we all see through her act.
Onward and upwards until the next day of trial.....
So like most other trials that interest me, I have a chat room on facebook. But, due to some debby downers, it's now secret as will any other room I create for real time chatting during a trial that is live streaming. If you aren't already in it, you probably won't be in it.
People question my intelligence and or my knowledge of cases and or the law. These are the same people that sit behind their computer screens all day instead of getting out and actually attending a few of these interesting cases as I have done. They are also the ones that apparently aren't so interested in the case that they have never been to a crime scene or places associated with the cases. My youtube channel proves that for me.
I think that Jodi is a sociopath that upon learning she wasn't going to Cancun with Travis, plotted to kill him. She stole her grandfathers gun 2 weeks prior, got gas cans so she wouldn't have to stop, etc. Has anyone considered that the 3rd gas can was used to burn all of the evidence out in the desert?
I still wonder about the roommates of Travis not needing to do their clothes, being able to walk by his room and not be suspicious as Mimi said they could smell death as soon as they opened the front door. There is evidence out there that a roommate was going to use the clothes washer but saw clothes in there and went up to talk to Travis. There is a sneaker impression in the blood on the tile no one has talked about. Was Jodi conspiring with a roommate and that is who dragged him back to the shower?
Another thing to think about, a video came out recently of Travis speaking of an attack that sounds eerily similar to the one Jodi described as the "Ninja Attack" her 2nd story. The way she looks in the video draped over him and not really engaged in the conversation or the people around. She wanted him all to herself but he was happy sitting there telling his story. he obviously DID show PDA as per that video.
Oh and I had another thought... we've never heard from Victor Arias or his family. We have seen no pictures. Anyone else find it convenient he has her last name... and what some don't know is Travis' middle name was Victor! How was she doing an exchange program when she wasn't in school? Just some things to think about.
She did it, she's admitted to it, and she's showing no remorse. She's begging for the jury to save her life through her testimony. I think that like Casey Anthony would have had she been convicted, she's having too much fun in jail and has turned to the girly side. She still doesn't get we all see through her act.
Onward and upwards until the next day of trial.....

Newtown, Connecticut
It will never be the same for me! I lived in nearby town New Fairfield, CT and had to use Danbury Hospital many times during the 7 years I lived there. This is the 2nd tragedy this year for my classmates and I to have to try and go through.
The first was the deadly shooting at the end of the street I lived on where a 5th grade teacher shot and killed what he thought was an intruder in his sisters house (next door). Turns out when the police removed the mask it was his very own adopted son.
Now, we have the school shooting in Newton, CT. The one thing I don't understand is, why did he choose those 2 classrooms? I feel for his brother and father. I don't think they will ever have answers. Don't lose sight that they too lost people they loved.
Some of the early reports put out a false facebook of the shooter which ended up being a guy completely not connected. Turns out, the shooter had his older brothers id with him. They had just recently changed the security at the school. It is also reported he tried to gain entry to the school a few days before or the day before. If they didn't recognize you on the camera you have to show an id and sign in. That is where the confusion at the beginning as to who the shooter really was came from.
Some great hero's came out of this story too! a 6 year old that was in the classroom where Vicki Soto had been. He saw his teacher get shot and some of his friends. He was interviewed by police and he was very good at recalling details etc. He doesn't yet know that his teacher and those kids have died. He had the sense of mind to run past the gunman, out the door, and down the street to safety. Way to go!
Vicki Soto was a teacher who had huddled all of her kids behind her to shield her and gave her life trying to protect them.
Another teacher shut and locked the door, pulled the blinds down, huddled everyone in a corner away from the door and read them a book until the police banged on the door saying it was all clear. They had the sense of mind to instruct the kids to line up, close their eyes, and put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them as they were lead out around some of the bodies etc. so they wouldn't see it.
So sad. Just so sad.
Thank you to the media for keeping the cameras focused on the firehouse and not on the school while parents were escorted to identify their child and giving them the privacy.
My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this.
Here's a link to the giveaway of the nail polish color specially done for Newtown and how you can get it if you don't win.
