My Journal #2

March 21

Here I am again so caught up in the Jodi Arias trial and all my work that I haven't written anything. I am fascinated by this trial. Mostly the legal aspects of how the lawyers handle the cases in real life not the hour long TV versions. Their different styles of questioning. This one is so different as we know she did it and all we are doing is trying to get a death penalty. What a long time 3 months to prove it. However, that being said, one assumes that 3 months Monday through Friday is a long time. That ain't so. Some weeks they only met for one or two days.  I understand now why our tax money is being paid to these people. They can't take a case to court, block off 5-6 hours every day and get 'er done!  I get it that people get sick. The judge did and I maybe one of the jurors did in Feb.
I was home all Jan recovering from foot surgery. In between writing I was glued to the tube watching this trial. Then I found Wild about Trial. They have a camera on scene and we can see it all. I run it in the background at work so I can hear what is going on. Someone puked in the gallery so they recessed until 10:35 this morning.

I am working with the narrators of the cantata THE SACRIFICE I have 6 people, not actors or readers that I have to some how make them  into dramatic story tellers. 

I will be on an airplane this weekend so maybe a lot more writing to be done. (adding because it didn't post to my notebook)
