Day Thirty-two

The defense rested the case today.  I thought the case would be over but now the state rebuttals the case?  I'm quite confused ha.  

Some major points from today ... George Anthony (Casey's father) had an alleged mistress that testified.  Casey herself will not testify.  The state wants the jury to smell air samples from Casey's car.  And, I might add, the defense is not happy.  

The final outrageous thing that happened was a man (28 years-old) held up his middle finger during court.  He was escorted out during trial & was questioned after the jury left about the "gesture" he used toward the prosecutor.  He was brought back in after the jury left.  The judge asked him why he used his middle finger & if he had any reason to do so.  He was charged with direct criminal contempt (I think that's what it was), sent to Orange County jail for 6 days, received a fine of $400 and has to pay a court fine of $223 over 6 months.  He appealed the charge but I don't see how the charge will be dropped.  Let that serve as a lesson to others, I suppose!

I know that some people (mainly my parents) this it's bizarre that I'm watching the trial so intensely.  But I don't remember the OJ Simpson trial/get to talk about it & this trial is being compared to that trial in many different ways.  So, I'm keeping myself entertained and hope it entertains others as well :)
