Also, it felt so weird to walk into my kids school this morning and hear students asking teachers if their friends were ok. Just heartbreaking.
And I was there to talk to the behavioral health coordinator (not that I am concerned about DS, really, but he is struggling a bit with anxiety and we are getting him in therapy). To think that therapy may have helped these young people make different choices.

And in fucking Miami-Dade too, probably the most liberal and racially diverse area of the whole damn state. Fucking Florida.

I have been sporadically listening to the hearing in Fulton County today and, idk, I find Nathan Wade pretty sympathetic. DA Willis is about to take the stand and she gas full game face on.

I got the news alert about DA Willis taking the stand and immediately had an anxiety reaction. Bless you for being able to stomach it in real time. Maybe I will watch clips once I know (and like) the outcome.

I can't even imagine getting up to give a speech right after finding out your husband had been murdered.

I'm sure Fox will cover this, since they had this guy all over their air I know you will be shocked, absolutely shocked to learn it was not mentioned even once (according to the person I follow who watches Fox to report on stuff like this).

Oh damn, Fani Willis' father just said he saw tv coverage of yesterday's testimony. That is probably not good. He's a lawyer so I am surprised he wouldn't know not to do that.

Though thankfully the judge took it under advisement as to witness credibility and did not strike his testimony completely. Overall I thought he was a well spoken and well presented witness. His story about having both credit cards and travelers checks declined as a form of payment but having just enough cash to cover the lunch bill was stark and basically explained why DA Willis has cash on hand at all times.

He was a great witness. I also found it compelling that the only reason he knew about her previous boyfriend was bc the father was staying in her house at the time. Him not knowing she had been involved with Wade seems pretty irrelevant if they don't typically discuss their love lives.

trueblue did I understand the CNN guy correctly that the entire basis for having the DA removed from the case is that she specifically and solely brought the case for financial gain? If so, that has not remotely been proven.

I’m in Denmark right now and it’s all that’s on tv. It feels like we’re on the precipice of some real serious shit.
