the young guy with the striped shirt took faq's seat when he left during a sidebar or the break, don't remember which. He had a great seat, next to Stacy and Katie. I was going to move up but was told by 18 yr. old student that Stacy had a relative coming in. I am the one holding my purse up it looks like! I was 4th row (of 5) third seat in from the wall. Sandy's row had at the end five empty seats; the row behind her was Alyce's group, including her frail old father. That got down to five empty too. There are seven seats per row, five rows with the front two reserved for whatever reason. That means 21 seats for public. The 18 yr old from Dr. Drew came in when someone left and sat next to me. Two girls to my right left early to pick up children, and two older ladies were brought in. BUT the bailiff came over and questioned the three of us during the break before. We were discussing a juror and kept trying to look at him; someone with i think she said sheriff's office watches gallery by camera, and wanted to find out what we were looking at and talking about, if we saw a juror doing something.
There is so much you don't see in the courtroom. I was there to see the jury! And the one I wanted to see was usually obscured by Flores. I did not see the black thingy on Jodi's arm until I turned on TV when I got home. I could not see the witness through the people in front of me. The gallery seats are very low; a woman next to me commented we needed booster seats. Not faq though, aisle seat is great plus he is tall.
Some of the people I talked to were not very up on the trial. Were not aware of pedo letters, that numi had tried to get off, that you could watch on youtube, defendant sleeping under Christmas tree. One trio there for second time could not remember the witness from first visit, then one of them did ~ none other than defendant!
Oh and a young guy in ASU shirt dozed off; when he let out a chortle the bailiff heard and sent for the seating guy; my neighbors woke him, and he was removed.
I noted each juror. Will put that on later. Did not see anyone taking notes. at 3:30 a younger female had her head back and eyes closed. The younger Hispanic guy swivels in his chair. It is a fairly diverse looking bunch, with several what look to be retirees. One of the men looked to me to keep is gaze an the defendant A LOT, he almost looked mesmerized. At times I thought I could see her looking at him, but not sure. None of the others looked her way. All in all, if anyone is local you really should go down there, it is easy to park and find. You don't stand in line, there is a nice lobby with chairs, like an airport. Restroom right there. you may kick yourself later if you don't! And it was super cool seeing another of 'us' there.
