I want to give you a picture of what it's like inside the courtroom. The 16 jurors are sitting on the right hand side, if you are entering the door facing the judge's bench. His bench is sort of catty-cornered on the left. The state is on the right and the defense on the left. There are five rows each on the right and left sides. About three rows on the defense side are folks from Sawmills. Some here to support Jerry. Some here to testify. They all want the truth. On the prosecution side sits Emily's sister and her husband. Also seated there are witnesses and media - although we aren't on any one's side. We're here to learn what happens. The benches are wood. My bottom is started to take a toll.
Jerry is dressed in a blue dress shirt with a tie and khaki pants. He watched intently. He almost looks anxious. I can't begin to imagine his thought process.
Several folks have testified since lunch, including representatives from Martin Marietta and Sawmills Hardware. I will have more details after we recess at 5. Gotta get back.
