I still can’t get over that she turned down a 15 year plea offer

[@Tammy_26Irwin]

Considering she’s already served 4 and a half years and she would only have to serve 85% of a 15 year sentence minus the 4 1/2 years. So basically she could be out within 5 to 7 years.

I think the defense plays dumb a lot to see if it will work.

I imagine how much more painful this would have been if she was still pro se and these defense attorneys feel worlds better than that scenario 😂

[@VenathTehN3RD]

I'm a little more lenient on them in this case given that she's on lawyer #9 and they came in like a month ago. There's only so much you can do as a defense attorney when the person you're defending seems damned and determined to fight you on everything. Sooner or later someone's just going to say "screw it, let the defendant ruin their own defense, we can't keep delaying the trial until they come to their senses and stop fighting their own lawyers."

[@VenathTehN3RD]

You know what, cancel that. I typed it when I was skimming comments while Emily was getting started and before I actually saw the defense in action. Defense is leaving me baffled too.

[@PartanBree]

The defence seems to be bumbling around. I've only just reached the bit where they were like "we don't know what the prosecution alleges her overt acts and omissions are" ...uh, (1) zipped him in, (2) didn't let him out?

I was empaneled on a Jury in NY in August, ended up getting strep throat over the following weekend and they still made me show up in person to get excused. They wouldn't take my doctors note or anything over the phone or emailed.

I was telling someone the other day "she can ask to accept that plea deal any time she wants up until the jury comes back with a verdict, whether the prosecution accepts that is another thing," and I'm torn on how I think that would go. Part of me thinks the prosecution would happily let her have it and not spend one more minute in court with her, the other part of me thinks they would go "Nah bitch we hope the jury throws the book AND the suitcase at you."

[@tamararutland-mills9530]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman so hard that she cannot manage to say, “I’m sorry for what I did to Jorge.” Instead, her defense is built around a justifiable homicide. 👀 She has no shame and no remorse.

[@Enoughalready20237]

I haven’t seen her cry for him even once. When sentencing time comes down, she’ll pay heavily for her lack of remorse, the jerking of the court chain (demands for hair and makeup stylists, sacks, acting like she’s a celebrity). Her time will come and I’ll be here for it. At least we won’t hear from her for a long while, while her case navigates through the appellate court. I do fear that her case is going to get turned over on appeal for many many reasons (I used to work for the court of appeals) but at least we can all breathe for a while and she won’t be getting the attention she desperately craves.

[@Astral_thee_God]

Can she really even get away on self defense when she said in the video that they had been doing well? She said they were doing puzzles- not threatening. She said he was going to therapy and/or anger management iirc and said they hadn't argued in a month- not threatening. She said that he apologized for her after seeing how damaging being physically abusive is to a woman after going to his counseling. Nothing about what she said posed him as a threat, especially if she can talk him into a suitcase

[@Metroid250]

That's the whole crux of why the prosecution and court aren't convinced to grant BSS in as a defense until there was that adverse act.

[@lauraw3338]

Where did the defense attorneys come from? Are they even trial lawyers because I’m questioning them. I can’t wait until the jurors knock that grin off Sarah’s face. “Middle age,” was a personal dig. Age is a state of mind. The prosecution is soooo over Sarah.

[@annedavis3340]

4:07:28 Emily: "there are a LOT of lawyers working on the case" Oh, no, those are just "The Girls," according to Owens 😒🙄😒

[@TheLucky8Percent]

Emily! I’m so very glad you’re here now for this trial. Couple thoughts: Owens reminds me of a gentler Harpootlian - he’s asked for a lavaliere and pickup pack (mobile talkie device) because he’s used to walking around while talking. He loves speaking arguments and the court has made It abundantly clear that the court doesn’t entertain speaking arguments. Owens has yet to figure out that the court wants concise, precise information and arguments; Owens hasn’t read the room yet. My theory: Owens thought he would come down here, run his “this is what the prosecutor is gonna say in opening” aka the first shouting match at Orange County Detention Center when Owens came down. Second shouting match and incident was after the early October plea offer. I think he thought he would come down and do his thing that he does and SB would do what his other defendants have done: take the deal. SB (as she has stated in a previous letter to iirc Judge Wooten) isn’t the typical inmate or defendant. She ain’t taking no deal because in her mind it was an accident (except that it wasn’t because she was afraid so she was defending herself but it was not intentional! No malicious!!) and like Charlie Adelson “Sarah’s never wrong because Sarah’s always right.”

[@TheLucky8Percent]

Billy Lane is her private investigator assigned by the state.

[@annedavis3340]

I just want to know where Sarah got the idea that the "typical" inmate sits around eating bon-bons...

[@valkyrie_arts]

The dog analogy kills me (in a morbidly amusing way), and this man clearly has never owned a dog or known someone who has. It's also incorrect. When a dog bites, the dog is _usually_ put down after that single incident. A better analogy would be someone with PTSD after getting third-degree burns from falling in a fire. Can handle being around fire while it's contained, but once the fire gets even a little bit out of control, the trauma response kicks in, and you retreat from the thing that had caused you serious pain in the past to protect yourself from being harmed again.

I don't know if it's allowed to impeach her on this but it would be so easy given her behaviour prior to arrest like calling the father to get the child so she can drink and worse. Her using her child to look better is so infuriating to me as clearly her son wasn't a priority.
