Brady doing her best to interrupt the cadence and direction of Mr. Sullivan's testimony about his fine son.

Oh man hope they have a pallet of tissues. Already bawling my eyes out for these two witnesses.

by Michelle Bell 8/4/2015 5:00:25 PM
Does the defense think they are helping their cause with these objections? They would piss me right the hell off if I were a juror.

This Father I knew was going to be a hard one to listen to and watch!!!

by LG 8/4/2015 5:00:31 PM
IM sorry But I could not show that kind of restraint that this man is right now. ONly a few feet from the guy who killed his son.....may he have all the strength in the world.

DT needs to sit down and shut up

by Coco 8/4/2015 5:00:45 PM
Orman doesn't have the manners Brauchler does!! LOL!! He was up at the bench well before Brady!! LOL!! And he was able to proceed. Swoosh!!

by Kristle 8/4/2015 5:00:49 PM
Ms. Brady and the DT needs to stop with the objections and aproaches

by Tjq 8/4/2015 5:00:53 PM
Another objection?!?!? COME ON!!! REALLY?????

by FMM 8/4/2015 5:00:56 PM
- Judge's Order
Orman may proceed

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:01:00 PM
Tom Sullivan is being asked about how his son became religious as an adult, took adult education class at St. Michaels and had himself confirmed

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:01:29 PM
He was 26 when he was confirmed

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:01:37 PM
Objections, objections, objections. Don't think after days of uninterrupted DT that this is going to play well with jury at all

by Just Thinkin 8/4/2015 5:01:40 PM
Is the DF going to object to everything the witnesses

by Sandy Smith 8/4/2015 5:01:41 PM
I hope the jury is as ticked off as we are.

by kat 8/4/2015 5:01:43 PM
Brady's killin' me (although I realize it's their duty).

by Poppy 8/4/2015 5:01:44 PM
WHY? Why is the DT objecting?

by caz 8/4/2015 5:01:46 PM
Tom Sullivan says his daughter was 16 months younger than Alex

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:02:06 PM
I'm sorry but if I was a jury member, I would be irritated by all the objections! No one objected when they showed the 2000 hours of JH as a child...give these victims their proper respect!

by TammyC 8/4/2015 5:02:11 PM
Oh my God let this man talk about his son

by Dkf 8/4/2015 5:02:17 PM
Sorry humble pride-'not time to think of SHOOTER/ defendant right now. His time is OVER.

by BluesB 8/4/2015 5:02:18 PM
Can't imagine what kind of cross-examination that would be helpful.

by Tammy Garrison 8/4/2015 5:02:19 PM
If I was on the stand and lost my son to that murderer I'd stare him down when there were bench conferences.

Tom Sullivan says "Alex was Megan's first, best friend. They were together all of the time"

"We have neighbors who still refer to her as 'my sister megan' because" they always heard Alex talking about her that way

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:03:08 PM
If I were a juror, I would be annoyed with all the objections from the DT.

"he is our first child, so he was always, you know, that love and care. And he got a lot of his love and empathy and compassion from her."

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:03:37 PM
I am having a REALLY hard time with this one.

by FMM 8/4/2015 5:03:40 PM
Tom asked to look at photos of his son

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:04:28 PM
First photo is Alex at a golf course

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:05:21 PM
Next looks like a luau

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:05:29 PM
then a birthday photo

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:05:35 PM
"Irish twins" I love that

by Suzi Lewis 8/4/2015 5:05:36 PM
I'm losing more respect for the DT on this. For Pete's sake...this is about the impact to the victims that he was already found guilty of killing. This is sad. we all expected that. but....the objections are making me angry too

by AM 8/4/2015 5:05:47 PM
OH my goodness! My heart is broken for this man and his loss!

by Suzi Lewis 8/4/2015 5:05:48 PM
Objecting does not change the fact that the murders have tremendous impact, emotional impact...jumping up and objecting only emphasis the facts.

by Jewel 8/4/2015 5:05:51 PM
Right on, BluesB!!!

by flip 8/4/2015 5:05:52 PM
Somehow this is even harder than the victims statements

by caz 8/4/2015 5:05:54 PM
Funny, poignant and loving. So, so moving

by Just Thinkin 8/4/2015 5:05:56 PM
This is sooooo sad :'(

"He was a very good husband, protective, providing"

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:06:16 PM
@kristle I did that to the person who changed my sons life. He would not look at me. I never took my eyes off him.

by Aly 8/4/2015 5:06:19 PM
Tom says he went on road trips with his son all the time, including two Final Fours, the Rose Bowl

by Phil Tenser 8/4/2015 5:06:49 PM
@liz If you were a juror you would be instructed by the judge not to take into account your emotional reaction or to infer any conclusion from the objections and or ruling of the court.
