Stacey Barker - It's Time To Get This Trial Underway

Thank You KF!

LC

I agree 110%

Well said and sad at the same time.

I would like to point out that SB is not a STAR, Her Family is not WELL known in the community.

The name Barker only stands out here because SHE drew attention to herself and her Family with all the lies about what happened to Emma and her that afternoon...she wanted to be the center of attention, now she has gotten that and her Family and her just want it to go away, along with the Bloggers, the Media and the News Paper Reporters or anyone else who wants to see Justice for a Innocent 18 month old child.

What does RD think, people in LA are heartless and could care less about what age the person was that got killed? I hate to burst his bubble but NO WHERE IN THE USA are people so cold blooded that seeing a Dead Child would not pull at their heart strings, as Emma did ours!

I'm not happy that it has taken this long to come to Trial, RD mentioned that he has become close with the Family over the last 2 years and HE might call them by first name while they are on the stand, he told this to JZ when JZ said this will not be an Informal Trial and everyone will be addressed by full name..Is it usual for a PD to become close to his clients? well whatever reason for that I know he is doing his best and there should be no reason for appeal!

Talk to you again on Monday, Happy Easter everyone....T

Hey T - what some people will do for their 15 minutes - just sad...  Now, times up! Toss her @ss in jail and throw away the key!

Is this the new thread? I see the other one is now expired?

Thank you :)

Hi All

JURY HAS BEEN PICKED AS OF 4/25.....Today they are finishing up with the alternates and TRIAL IS EXPECTED to start on Wen the 27th of April.... this is from today's AV Press! I don't know though because if they had that much trouble picking 12 out of 80 what is going to happen if they can't find alternates easy?

I wil be there tomorrow so I will let you know if opening statements are going to be tomorrow or Thursday....

LC you ready for the drive?????

See ya soon...T

Oh Mama, I'm ready and chomping at the bit!!  

By any chance has your hubby had a chance to look over my directions? 

Whatever became of the motions we haven't heard the results of? I could go on and on with my questions but I'll stop for now!

Great write, LC!!!

Ugh! I have so many questions and all of these different ideas buzzing through my head. I am so happy that this is finally happening. Hopefully most of our questions will be answered, and justice will finally be served for our girl.

Thank you - 7XM! Glad to see you! Hope you and the kiddo's had a great Easter! 

I know, my head is buzzing (and pounding) right now! So many questions and answers are coming!

BTW gals & guys, get ready for some warmer weather, I put my order in early and this cold spell you're having just won't cut it! ; )

Glad to see you too LC! And yes, I think the boys were all very happy. I hope you and your's had a great Easter as well. Did you get to spend it with your GD?

So, I read this at the pond:

"RD wants evidence and testimony about a party the night before Emma's funeral excluded. Dager said the family had a dinner/get together the night before Emma's funeral...KC called it a party and wanted everyone to know that at this party they played BEER PONG. Dager said it was a just a get together, not a party and the younger people did play Beer Pong but not SB, he said...her Mom even played ...JZ looked amazed and said wait...Emma's Mom or SB's Mom? RD said SB's Mom."
 

Ok, we had family get-togethers, in fact, several of them right after my Dad died. He was not old, he was not sick, so it wasn't anything we were prepared for. And sure there was beer and even the most devastated among us were laughing and stuff like that. I am not saying the party (or whatever) the night before Emma's funeral is wrong. But, why does it sound so strange to me?

IMO - it's not the Beer it's the Pong the night before a sweet baby was laid to rest - a baby who died at her mother's hands (accident or not!). Beer - Pong implies party and games. Not the solemn occasion that is the reality after a baby dies. That and Ms Cromer must know something - she didn't bring this up to let us know SB's friends like beer! Their MS accts told us that and they are all adults - so no harm no foul. But Beer Pong? Really?

7XM - I'm sorry about your dad. But he was an adult - for many adults having a few brews with friends is the way to relax and hang out. So not inappropriate after an adult passes. But an 18 month old toddler? Strange indeed...  

That does make a little more sense and it puts things into perspective. I guess it just seems to me that those get togethers are to celebrate the life of the person who has died. And beer pong to honor the life of a toddler? Yeah. But, I guess everyone grieves in their own way. I have no doubt that while it may have been an attempt to create some sense of normalcy for all of them, they were all suffering immensely. I think the part that is more disturbing to me than anything else, is how Stacey was able to face her family and friends and be "poor Stacey" to all of them knowing what she had done. And how in the world did she explain the way she just left Emma on the side of the road to all of them? This whole thing is just so...I don't even know the words anymore

And thank you, LC. Strangely enough, we lost my dad in an accident almost two months to the day after Emma's death. It was his passing that made me realize that Emma's death taking such a toll on me was more than just my need to borrow other people's tragedies.

Nic,

Sorry to hear about your Dad...I do know that having a few drinks and exchanging stories of life with others about people that have passed is no big deal, but Pong! I just can't get over the fact that it was the night before the funeral and it was for a baby, Pong is a Adult drinking game that screams "Party" I don't know maybe I am just a old bat that does not understand the kids today...LOL

I think it was disrespectful but that is just me...the night after or days after would have been more suitable to me, the night before no one would have been able to console me for anything and facing family and friends would have been even worse, I know I have been there done that and it ain't fun, of course I did not kill Lil Nick and he was a Teenager, all I could think of was "how in the world am I going to keep it together" among the tears I would talk to people but all I really wanted to do was lay down, sleep and hide out, wishing it was a nightmare and I would wake up, he would be there and I would wake him up for school.....never happened.

I'm with LC I don't think KC would have brought it up unless she has more then just Mom playing...This may go to show that SB is the party girl that KC wants people to see, does she have pictures of SB smiling and drinking, being a carefree young person on the Eve of  her Daughter being laid to Rest? that would be pretty damning...

I don't know how far into the Trial that this will come up but we will have a clearer picture of what it is all about.

I will see you all later, getting ready for court right now...LC yeah, the directions were right..see you later today!

Hello Everyone!

Here is a link to article about the last several pre-trial hearings.

http://my.nowpublic.com/culture/stacy-barker-trial-get-under-way-will-it-be-april-or-may

This is the same article I linked to at katfish...ponders.  I'm sorry I didn't get it posted here before the other thread closed. Thank goodness LCM is on the ball and got her post about the case loaded. We can go ahead and use this thread. 

BIG NEWS!!!! THE TRIAL STARTED TODAY, WEDNESDAY APRIL 27. OPENING STATEMENTS AND 1ST WITNESS BEGAN TESTIMONY. WATCH FOR STORY :)

Can you please let me know what time and what courtroom the Trial is being held in? I attended several of the pre-trial hearings, and am hoping to attend as much of the Trial as my work schedule allows. I can't believe all the parallels this case has to casey Anthony's. Even the names "Casey Marie, Stacey Marie." Babie's even looked alike!

Hi ALL

Mary the courtroom is A-17 and Monday it starts at 9:30AM on Tuesday it will be at 1:30PM.

Monday is when BB is going on the stand from what we hear in court today.

I know I have been Lax in getting the coverage to you but I will sum it up here as RD has had to re-cross all of the witnesses a nunber of time...he is taking tooooo long asking the same questions just different ways.

Day One and Two was Susan Barker, they took 2 days with her because she retracted most of what she said with the phrase "I don't Recall" to the hard questions...I felt so sorry for her I could feel her pain and she looked like she was in a daze...this has taken a toll on her, Ange commented that she felt like she just wanted to hug her and tell her it was NOT her fault, that she felt heartsick for this woman she did not know...a Husband that would leave her in her greatest pain for thoughts and words she said about her Daughter, A Daughter that had killed her only Grandchild, she is in great fear of losing her husband now...how sad she loses a Granddaughter, A Daughter and if SB is convicted because of her testimony she would also lose her Husband, because SB is a Daddy's girl and always has been..

Sue let it be known the day Det's told her Emma was found dead, she said to Det. Naba (on tape) "I know she did it, and I want you to prove it"  from what she said she had no Idea she was being recorded when she made statements concerning her feelings about SB and BB and the death of Emma. she Locked her bedroom door after this because she was in fear of SB...FEAR that SB could also do it to her! that is why SB went to the Grandparents home, because of Sue's fear of her.

Sue Admits to being a Alcoholic and taking anti depression meds....she said that she would take 4 to 5 shots of Cuevero Gold Tequila a couple nights a week before Emma's death but was not a Alcoholic, after Emma's death she became an heavy Alcoholic, Drinking while taking her meds also....Dager said you took the pills with alcohol? she said Yes. he said didn't you know that that could kill you? she said NO, (everyone knows that is a lethal combo) something was said at the end of her second day like "her testimony needs to be memorialized in case something happens to her" by JZ, I don't know for sure but sounds like they are saying something without saying it straight out, I sure hope she is not going to do something stupid to herself because she did say she has a LOT of guilt about Emma's death...I would let her know to seek help if she had something bad on her mind...IT'S NOT HER FAULT! I feel for this woman as a human being in deep pain and wished I had the words to heal her heart...this is so sad, how many more people were hurt by this stupid action of SB....

Today was Anthony's Mom on the stand, Girls we have been asked to do a favor for the family and that would be not to use Anthony's last name here. ok. we may use his Initals or just Anthony...

I was Very Impressed with Anthony's Mother, she did a damn good Job on the stand, she didn't give Snidley an Inch....oh he tried to trip her up but she didn't let him...Great Job Mom..

He was trying to make it seem like Her and the Family Just "didn't care if they saw Emma or not, if they did they did, if not oh well whatever" that is what he said to her before KC objected...some of his questions were so misworded JZ had to rephrase them for everyone to understand....Mom was upset at a question about a Savings account she had opened for Emma for College and cried...RD said are you upset, she said yes, he said are you upset with SB? she said yes, he then said you are sitting there with all this anger for her....She said "I have NO anger for her, I am NOT angry, just upset" way to go MOM!!!!

Anthony was next today, He was in a bad place....he also was taking all the blame for not being a bigger part of Emma's life because of Drugs and Alcohol abuse during SB'S pregnancy. I really wished that he had made more of SB'S attitude about letting him see Emma on the stand but I along with the Group could tell he was feeling guilt and sadness and kicking himself in the butt because he did not take control of the situation and demand visitation with Emma through the courts earlier in her life, he said by the time he made that choice to do so and fill out the papers he was just waiting on money from taxes to file the papers but he never got to do that because she was taken away from him forever!!! how very sad, my heart dropped..how selfish of her another casuality to add to her list of people that have been affected in a negitive way by this...

RD is making it seem it is Anthony's choice he was in her life for such a short amount of time, he is taking advantage of Anthony's beaten down emotional state to say stupid things I will put them down at a later time, I am sure the Jury did not think highly of RD after that.. as this is just a short note of the trial so far...Kat is writing it up as I type this...thanks Kat for all you do....

Deputy M Villalobos is on the stand and tells the court that he had intimate relations with SB during the time she was with with BB, he had met her through her brother and they had "Casual Sex" for 1 week...3 times in that one week and they were NOT a couple, they were not dating and he knew she was with BB at the time...they kept it on the down low when BB was around. also that when SB would bring Emma to the softball games of her brother (MV & NBwere on the same team) that everyone that knew SB would hug SB and tell EB hi..except BB he would not come out of the dougout and he did not associate with SB while she had EB with her.  BB did spend the night at the Barker home once while her parents were out of town, MV remembers that EB was already asleep that night when BB came over, they were all in the Garage hanging out and SB said her and BB were going to sleep, also he said SB was a very good Mother, is this is a real good friend or boyfriend that could say she was a good mother to EB ? (you be the Judge of that Question) here is backround,  he was not with her and EB daily, nightly, weekends...he did not date SB, did not take her to dinner, not to the movies or anywhere social (his testimony), he only had Sex with her....(that they both hid from BB, while she was with BB since Dec,2008 )  oh did I say that he met SB in January 2009,  Emma was killed in March 2009, so he only knew SB and EB for a few short months....what was your Judgment of that question????

Oh also her Mom and RD said she was also seeing another guy from work at the same time as BB and MV......was this guy also just a Booty call or was he a dating relationship that encluded EB? we will never know because they could not locate him to use as a witness of what a good Mom SB was to EB...

That ended Day 3, Monday starts at 9:30 and they have made BB wait around for 3 days outside of the courtroom, if I was him I would be pretty mad already for being put off and having to be there all day without being called, I know he had a Job and feel if waiting around has caused him to lose pay or miss work he has a right to be mad...

Kat is writing up the whole story encluding Q & A asked and answered and most of the comments made by RD....stay tuned...LOL

Tuesday Trial starts at 1:30PM...I will be back soon....Nik got your msg...Thanks...I will pm you tomorrow...K.... Hugs to all T

Thanks, T!!! :)

Hi all.

Yesterday was day 4...After we get to court we are told that the bus broke down and they could not continue this morning so everyone should come back at 1:30 today!

When we come back, Judge Zackey says he is sorry for the delay, "it was Murphy's Law, A perfect Storm and everything else today" I am sorry, lets get started.

BB was called to the stand, KC said Good Afternoon, he said Hi.

KC do you know SB? BB yes. KC said, when did you meet Ms.Barker? he said Dec 31, 2008, he tells her that they met at Coach's Sports Bar, they started talking, dancing, having fun, hanging out and then they shared a New Years Kiss at Midnight (her Myspace said The best New Years kiss I have ever had).

He thought she was nice so he got her Phone number and started calling and texting her. KC wants to know if they had Sex, BB said Yes, KC wants to know how long before they started having Sex? he said it was sometime in Jan 2009, KC said well, was it the first week of Jan or the middle of the month or the end of the month? he said he did not recall...KC keeps pressing him for an answer, because he keeps saying, it was just sometime in January...she said "is that the best you can do" he said yeah, so she asks him OK can we rule out the first week of January? he said sure you can if you want. KC is a little peeved by now because of BB'S attitude.

At some point she tells JZ she wants to have BB declared a HOSTILE witness (I think she said so she could ask him leading Questions) because RD'S many objections were "Leading"

KC goes on to ask him about what kind of relationship they had and he said they hung out and did things together. KC said like go to clubs and bars, Nascar? he said clubs, yes, bars sometimes mostly Coach's, she said is that only a Bar? he said no it's a sports bar and grill. she asks where it is located he tells her off of Ave K and Gaddsen in Lancaster. she asks how long the Nascar event was and he said 1 whole day...so they did not go to Nascar weekend...just the day. BB Yes.

KC how many times have you been to the Barker home before Emma's Death? he said a couple of times, has he ever stayed the Night there? he said he did spend the weekend once when her parents were out of town, then KC said would that Saturday and Sunday? BB said no it was a Friday and Saturday. KC, was Emma already in bed and asleep when you got there Friday? BB Yes.

On 2 occations did SB call in sick to work to spend the day with you, asks KC, BB said I don't recall she might have.  She did call in on 3/18 and spend the day with you, BB yes, KC and you stayed in bed then went to lunch then she went home as if she had been at work all day right. BB yes. is there any reason that SB would say "you owe me one" he said no not that I know of.

KC starts asking about St. Patrick's day, what did you do? They went to Coach's, did you drink? yes, did SB drink, yes when did you leave? we stayed until around 10pm, I had 1 Beer and SB had 1/2 a Beer...(we have seen on social websites that BB is a BIG Drinker, so 1 beer for the whole night) when they left SB was driving and they went to 60th west and Elizabeth lake road, 60th W is also called Goode Hills Rd, it winds through the hills from Eliz Lake Rd then back down into West Lancaster/Quartz hill, there are Very Few homes in this area I would say 6 custom homes at the most, it is secluded at the peak and over looks the Aquaduct, very private place....well he said they stopped and looked at the lights of the Valley for about 20 mins then went back to his place.

KC asks what did you do when you got back to your place? BB said they went back to his room where they laid down on the bed. she asks if they had Sex and he said he does not recall, so you don't know if you had Sex? he said it's possible. (what she might have asked was, did you have Sex while you were in the car on 60th West? to me it is a romantic spot at night, Very dark, a good place for young people to have Sex ) KC then asks, Are you a chronic nail biter? BB said no, I have bitten my nails since I was young...(ok he's a chronic nail biter). she then asks if he ever uses Clippers to trim his nails.. he said No just bite them if they get long. she said are your nails typical today of how they were on 3/17 & 3/18? he said I don't know maybe, I bite them when they start to get long. she asks if he is hygenic with his hands, he says yes, I am always washing my hands because I am a Server, Kelly said your a SURFER??? he said no, I am a SERVER...she said Oh I misheard, everyone laughed..she asked if he could show his hands and nails to the Jury, he starts to hold up his hands and RD Objects,  relevance...Kelly asks for a side bar and they go back talk to JZ and come back and KC asks BB to show his hands and nails to the Jury again, he shows them. KC said, did you lacerate the inside of SB'S vagina? BB said I don't know (he looked confused at the question) so then KC said do you know if you scratch the inside of SB'S vagina that night with your fingernails? He said he didn't know, it's possible. KC, what time did SB leave? BB said I drove her to her house in my car at about 4AM, KC was that so she could get dressed like she was going to work for the day and tell NB that she was leaving for work? BB Yes.  so she dressed for work and then you went back to your house lounged around, talked about Emma and went to lunch at Pollo Loco? BB yes. then what did SB do? she left for home.

At this point NB walks in, He is a VERY handsome young man even more so with his Marine Uniform on, he stands tall and seem proud to wear this uniform! his girlfriend is with him and she is also very, very pretty and petit.

Judge Z said, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the witness I told you about earlier, we will break testimony from BB so we can get this young man back to Pen, Fla where he is serving our country... I want to Thank you for your service to this country..NB nods in a your welcome way to JZ.  NB takes the stand...

I will be back later to fill you in on Nick's testimony...

Hugs  T

Here are 2 posts from a coworker from 2009...I thought they were interesting as Anthony just testified the other day and this is what he was trying to get across to RD...

I WAS a friend of SB and worked with her for years. When she brought Emma to work, she was such a happy baby and SB made it seem like she was her life... apparently we don't know people behind close doors. I am soooo disgusted by her. I wish her death! Anthony wanted to be involved in Emma's life. But SB made it clear that if he wasn't with her, she was not going to let him see her. Which is exactly what happened. She has no problem telling people that. As soon as she gave in for him to see her, she again wanted Anthony back. And since he wasn't going back to SB, he could no longer once again see Emma. Just crazy!There was always something alittle off about SB. However, at work her desk was covered with pictures of Emma. SB gave me a Xmas photo of her and Emma last Xmas, that pic is now on my desk, with SB cut out and only Emma there. I keep it on my desk as a reminder she will get justice and she never deserved her fate. SB could have simply given Emma to her grandparents if she didn't want her. I was curious what really happened and because of your page, I know now. Thank you sooooo much for keeping this log! I will keep checking weekly for the latest to till case is closed and that bitch is sentenced. Please keep this page going and I thank you for taking the time to write this! Thank you for keeping Emma alive is spirt. She was sooo precious!

You guys are all great! Trust me I'm 100% onboard with everything you are saying on here. So let the SB bashing continue. : ). The bitch gets what she deserves. Hopefully someone already handed her ass to her in jail. She should be a target. Anyways, I had a friend over last night who is a best friend of a guy she use to date prior to BB. We got to talking about how his friend felt about the whole crazy SB thing. SB only dated this guy for 2 weeks he dumped her because she was starting to act crazy. Telling him that she loved him and wanted her to be Emma's dad and get married. That was his sign to get out quick. I remember SB telling me this story and I even thought she was crazy. She was desperate for someone to accept her and her daughter right away. SB and I were pregnant at the same time. I look at my little girl and could not imagine doing anything to harm her. She is a sick bitch that is for sure. I'll keep looking for the new link. Take care everyone! Thank you for welcoming me in the group.
