Hi X. I don't get into April fools stuff.

My little brother lived with me when he was a senior in high school. For an April fool joke I told him his school burnt down. He totally bought it. He even called all his peeps to tell them too. I kept saying that it would be back on tv in just a minute....

Hi X. I don't get into April fools stuff.

I was reading an article on CNN about April 1st pranks at work and some of them were pretty funny. I played one just once on a best friend. I purchased a lotto ticket the day after the drawing with the exact winning numbers and a news paper. I called her and said I had to come over right away and talk to her. When I got there, all I did was hand her the tickets and the paper with the numbers. She looks at the ticket, then the paper, then the ticket, then the paper, and her mouth dropped open! She informs me she needs to get me an attorney and get me out of the country immediantly! BTW, the lotto was for over 60 million. I finally cracked and she choked me.

When I was working at UPS (during the heyday of the 49ers), we used to listen to KFOG radio (San Francisco) all night (loading trucks). One morning, the news guys reported that the 49ers had traded Joe Montana.

That UPS facility went ballistic. I mean it was chaos (full of men)---near riot status.

Later we were told HAHA it's April Fool's day! Not too many people were amused but I've never forgotten it.

I remember one in our local paper years and years ago. It showed an airplane hitting a church (an unheard of event in those days). I was so embarrassed because I was going "OMG, OMG." I was young and naive then.

FRED!!!! :71541:


A group of my friends pulled that on another friend for Christmas. It was "just" for $10,000 so she thought it was real. She had everyone in the car on the way to the Kwikkie Mart (wherever she thought they had purchased it) at 2 in the morning before they finally told her it was a joke.

She is STILL mad. And you can buy those joke scratchers.



Oh WOOOOPS. We just got the official tornado warning in my county. Here we go.

[lost indie]

My favorite columnist at our local newspaper pulled a good one years ago.

We have abandoned gypsum mines in the area. He did a story that was GOOD and to this day people believe it.

He said that the gypsum mines were really gold mines. The gold was tunneled to the biggest downtown building in the area. There was a new heliport put on top of the building and they took the gold out in helicopters. There were pictures and maps and the whole deal.

It was great!

So was my ggrandson!! We hoped for an April Fools birth though. LOL We had a blast at the hospital all day and through the night. You'd have thought she was really someone important, all the family(both families), half her church, their together friends, her friends, his friends all were there. We even went into the other 3 ladies rooms and cheered them up too because 2 of them had no one at hospital. The 3rd had her hubby but he was out in car trying to sleep since he'd worked over 12 hours. LOL

How fun, really! Still, it would be hard on a kid being an April Fool's baby.

[Bayou Lass]

The guys in my department played an April Fool's joke on me one year. I had a dr.'s appt. that morning and came in late. The first thing I always did when I got there was to unlock my desk drawer and put my purse in the drawer. I did not have time to do this before the phone started ringing. I picked up the phone and it would not stop ringing - no one at the other end either. I went through this about four or five times before figuring out the engineers had taped down the hang-up button and yet the phone would still ring. The next thing I did was to unlock my desk to put up my purse, low and behold I almost pulled my arm out of the socket trying to open my drawer. It was taped shut too. When I looked up all the guys were standing in their doors laughing their fool heads off at me and my frustration. After I got over being mad, remembering it was April Fool's day it was quite funny to think of what they saw me doing (cussing up a storm and fighting mad).:s1gyahoo:

Hey cool! I think I might do that to my receptionist!

Years ago we had a girl who was quite the blond. I called her via an outside line and disguised my voice. Told her I had a vendor at their office and needed to talk to him ASAP, could she page him? His name last name is Furter, first name Frank.

Sure enough, "Mr. Furter, Frank Furter, would you please come to the message station?"

The entire office erupted in laughs. She was P'O'd.

Well then there was the time my friend and I switched out a Warhead for a gumball and passed if off to her.

I don't know why she didn't trust me much.

[TigressPen]

What? Are they? Did they?



No. Not literally. I was being sarcastic. :basic44:

[Details]

We did the classic one at work once, to someone on vacation. You tape plastic behind the window of the office, and fill that up with packing styrofoam bits. Same for the window in the door. Then you use a heavy brick or block on a piece of fabric, put it behind the door, use the fabric to pull it forward as you close the door, then pull the fabric out, crumble broken styrofoam bits under the door - and the office looks like it's been filled with styrofoam, the door resists being opened just like if it was indeed full.

Thats alotta work, but probably worth it depending on who you do it too and how they react! I've seen some pretty funny pics of cars covered in colored post-it notes.

4:51 p.m. - Sometime after 4:15 p.m., jurors sent another note out.

"The jury cannot reach a unanimous decision."

He's going to plea out and get away with it. jmo.

[Xmygrits]

Oh wow, proposal for a disposition.

A plea agreement... he is getting away with the death of Linda Taylor and Cynthia Andrews. How sad...

They already offered that SOB a plea and he declined. I say he needs a new trial. The prosecutor has totally caved in on this one. What a loser she is.

Is he free as a bird to go see his girlfriend tonight and cross that bridge tomorrow morning?

[TigressPen]

Yep, basically! I've never mentioned it to anyone but once when I was selected to be a juror on a murder trial - the defendant plead after the jury was selected. One lady who was a juror told me, well, I am glad he plead because I'd not been able to send him to prison because I knew him too well when we were in high school and we were like best friends and he teased me a lot. I thought, OMG!! She'd told the Pros when asked if she knew the defendant or was related that she'd known him in school but hadn't seen him in a long time. After she told me about not being able to find him responsible for the man's death, I remembered where she worked and no way she could not see him!!

[sciencegirl]

I'm tellin ya; I am really losing faith in our judicial system. This crime was under-charged, IMO; and because the jury hangs; the prosecutor offers a plea. I don't think she was interested in this case from the beginning.

As someone said earlier; she acted like she just didn't care about it.

How long do you think it will take him to drive another car without a license.the justice system is screwed up.2 ppl are dead and he gets to walk.:71541:

[Details]

He isn't off scott free- some 3 and a half years more to serve. Not enough, not by a longshot - but he's not walking time served. I think the prosecutor caved, and I think approaching the families at this point in time, when they must be exhausted from all the stress they're under isn't really fair.

I think she just wanted it off her calendar. She sounds anxious to get it finalized and out of the way.

4:55 p.m. - Defense attorney David Roth is reviewing item-by-item on the paperwork with Gaillard.

They are rights sheets, where a defendant acknowledges that they are waiving certain things before entering a plea of guilty or no contest.

The bailiff has bid goodbye to the Court TV staff.

Word is spreading through the courtroom that the deal is:

Five years prison, 10 years probation.

He'd probably have gotten a better deal with a retrial if 5 years is in plea agreement. I don't think State would retry him anytime soon, if at all... it'd just be hanging over his head from now on out.

[sciencegirl]

:1222423: For the families. I sure couldn't have agreed to this plea. No way in hell.

He'd probably have gotten a better deal with a retrial if 5 years is in plea agreement. I don't think State would retry him anytime soon, if at all... it'd just be hanging over his head from now on out.

I can bet that once out, AG won't be able to stay out of trouble for 10 years.

[wi_twin_mom]

Well, I know where to go to get away with a crime!! I thought this was a slam dunk!!! He admitts he's driving and admitts he hit something and then trys to hid his truck! He did it!

Hi everyone! Just got back from a really bad day at work.:((Worse than usuall!) I started supper and came down to chat you lovely ppl only to find a mistrial!!! I feel really bad for the families of these two women.

I wonder what the split was. We never did hear; did we?

Nope. Maybe someone will talk to media.

[andersson33]

I think you're being generous.
He's a guy who's never cared much about rules. He's used to lying and getting away with it, and doing what he wants.

And this trial went the same way for him. Lots of little lies, then a Big Lie-- and he still got off easy.

I give him a year out of prison and he's back in jail.

[TigressPen]

He will spend about 3 and half years.

[bambam]

i've been posting by myself on the WRONG thread!!! lmao!!!


ok i stole this:


BLOG UPDATE:

5:16 p.m. - It is clear now that Adam Gaillard is going to take a plea.

To what and in exchange for what still has not been told to the judge.

The lawyers are now getting the paperwork together it, getting the "scoresheet" as is it called. The one where they calculate how much time he scores in prison. And how much time he already has for time served.

Why would Gaillard not take a mistrial and instead plead guilty?

Perhaps it's the prospect of having to do a trial all over again, pay a top-dollar defense attorney again, see the victim's family again.

Unknown at this point.

CT is saying that he will walk with time served!!! :shock:

If he can't drive even after probabtion ends then I bet he won't get a decent job.

[sciencegirl]

He will spend about 3 and half years.

And he was guilty. He plead guilty. He knew he hit the women. Makes me sick to my stomach!!!!

[bambam]

the lesson learned is that you can get away with killing ppl with your vehicle, if you just haul azz and leave the scene............. go home and sober up, then get your lawyer to take you down and turn yourself in

Judge reads charge. Assume he knows what the charge is and the sentence. Asks him the standard do you understand questions.

Says she understands he's reached a plea.

5 years DOC, 10 years probation.

5 years with credit of 498 days. Special conditions of probation. Drug testing that he pays for. No driving of any kind. Permanment revocation of drivers license. 473 dollars court cost (?)

Asks about issue of restitution. State didn't ask about any, state thinking about it. (Geez)

Says she reserves the right to be reduced to a judgement. WIthin 60 days. Judge retains jurisdiction. Amount not agreed upon.

Sounded to me to be five years less 4?? days.

So three and a half years and 10 years probation which I would bet my bottom dollars he will serve behind bars too.

WHY DID THE LINK CUT OUT? wahhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[bambam]

what happened to the feed???

I didn't need that.

Cutting the feed so they can hook up with those boring senators making boring speeches from the floor of the Senate.

Yawn.

Hi andersson-

Live your life without a doubt outside in and inside out....

[andersson33]

I'm sure CNN.com figures they did their duty.
And that as long as they showed the verdict--who cares about all this other crap?

Thing is, WE do.
A lot.

How long do you think it will take him to drive another car without a license.the justice system is screwed up.2 ppl are dead and he gets to walk.:71541:




First chance he gets he'll be driving mark my words.

Seeing you here gives me something to smile about--I love those Feetwood Mac people too, always have always will.

And on crazy days like today, I feel sort of comforted by Lindsey Buckingham's Ode to Dennis Wilson.

:happy0207:

[SummerMadness]

Why do you think he took a plea? Maybe because the split was 5 to 1 in favor of guilt?
Everybody thought he would get off scott free, I don't know how because he did admit responsibility and who the hell could believe that he didn't know he had hit someone.

yeah, I think he knows this hung jury is his best chance..and that he DID know he hit those women.

I just wish CNN would have let us hear what HE had to say about it.

I love that tribute too, Dennis Wilson that was another senseless death, what a shame.
What do you think of this fine mess? I tell you- things are getting so topsy turvy, I don't know which end is up anymore.

[TigressPen]

Other than Jensen, McGuire and Gagnon how many other verdicts have we heard in last year and half? Seems it's been mistrial after mistrial.

Well, I suppose WE have to at least feel good about " OUR COMMON SENSE" when we heard the testimony.and only wish the jurors could have hear that same information...It is soo sooo justifying to just hear him admit "He Knew" that condones our scoffing, and finger pointing..and for me that " EXPERT" should take a Disinfectant Bath to attemtp to clear his conscience of aiding and abetting a ciminal!..Yikes from what I have seen this past year.I am truly skeptical and cynical of ALL AND ANY EXPERT opinions!! I listen to in the future..For sure,? Henry Lee LOST ALL CREDIBILITY!..in my eyes..and yowza..his TV SHOW and interviews have completely STOPPED...Just what does that tell ya!!??..As for Baden..Same...Same..I guess I have come to be skeptical of any and all opinions unless backed up by evidence that I can get my head around or understand!

S. Nelson last week, and in the Courttv days just last year we had a guilty verdict for the guy that tried to murder his ex-wife, I think his name was Samuels. :waitasec:I'll think of some others just to try & hang on to the faith in our justice system.

In most cases I have seen, you are correct, however, I truly believe that people in general do not want to "Sit In Judgement" and maybe the Judges will find themselves the finders of fact in the future..as THEY CAN BE found accountable for their decisions on a greater level of scrutiny..like the Appellete Judges...In the past, so many Appellete panels have not attempted to negate juror's opinions because of the assumption that they made an INFORMED" decision.,,For us OLD GUYS, we know just how the sytem worked and works..and when it comes to evidence..well, we know not ALL EVIDENCE comes into the case!..So, I am not suprised by some judgments..however knowing what I know..I do get blindsided!!!

But the old ad-age goes forth.."I would rather be judged by my peers "! as it is better to let a gullty person go free than to encarcerate a non-guilty person!..Yowza...So hindsight thinking here...as I have seen in my lifeime many people get punished for crimes they did not commit..but more often than not.. more go free to continue their rampage on humanity!

We had Darren Mack who self-destructed and had to cop a plea much like this dude.

But yeah; where are the obvious GUILTY verdicts? I think we are in a world of hurt where juries are concerned.

We have some serious problems with the selection of jurors. Maybe they should reinstate the lie detector for use on juoros before they get seated. :kidding-01:

I am getting so confused trying to navigate between the trial threads. :confused:

I guess I could open multiple screens to click between the threads.

So this guy copped a plea after the jury said they were hung?

Yep. He plead after jury said they were hung to keep from going back to trial. Strange. Maybe they were just hung 5-1 for guilt. Who knows. But he won't spend but about 3 years in jail and 10 years probabtion - can't ever drive again either. Has to have drug test at his expense.

He will drive again, of that I have no doubt. And did he say, I hope you will forgive me so I can go on with my life? I will never forget those two women.

Well he can never get a LICENSE in FL to drive again. Doesn't mean he won't OR that he can't move to another state. I wish there was a national network so that he can't just leave FL and start over.

Hi Everyone!

Molly, I'm glad you covered this, I was looking for it.

Only in Florida, is he forbidden to ever drive. My neighborhood, nor yours will always be safe from him.

What a crock, all the way around.

The Prosecutor was on TruTV this morning, what an imbecile, but that's another ball of wax.:shock:

That's what it sounds like~~~a juror refusing to deliberate. Wh, oh why, don't jurors report this inappropriate behavior. You know that is what happened. This jury barely had time to elect a foreman and take an initial vote before they said they were hung. If that doesn't reek of a juror refusing to deliberate, I don't know what does.

Showing Gaillard wah~wah~wah. He's playing the game to the max.

[StoneFox]

Juror on the phone with Jack Ford.

[mollybrown]

Mary Ann Eberle on the phone with Jack Ford and at first vote, she voted guilty. First vote 3 Guilty 3 Not guilty. She believed that AG SHOULD have known that he hit those two women. AG not testifing played no part in her decission. The after the fact conduct was important. "13 hours is a long time when you knew that something happened". Concience of guilt was important. The hold out believed that AG did NOT see the ladies. Ford asked if she would have wanted to know about the lengthy violation behind the wheel and she said YES along with the revocation on drug charges one month after bail was granted. She felt what was presented was enough to convict. The plead did not do "justice" to the case. She feels that he should have gotten the maximum. All 15 years.

[IfIMay]

I think in the end, this guy will get all 15 years. He's gonna live clean for 10 years? No way. He cried for himself and himself only. He never thought one sorrowful thing about those beautiful women he killed. If he stays in Palm Beach (doesn't he have to for probation?), they will be watching his every move.
