James Ray Trial Tweets :: April 7th

• Meet me in the pump-house for some pumping :: http://wp.me/pye0D-1Vb #

• Mr. Li beings his cross of Ted Mercer. #JamesRay #

• Not all of the groups who came to Angel Valley were vegetarians :: but most were. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li asking about Angel Valley charging #JamesRay $100K for SW09 :: are they allowed to do that as a non-profit ministry? A: I don’t know. #

• Q: Did Angel Valley have a building permit for the sweat lodge? A: Don’t know. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li making a pointing of saying “James Ray International” repeatedly. #JamesRay #

• Mr Li :: Gary told you in past years “this is normal, sometimes people vomit in sweat lodges” … correct? A: Not really. #

• Mr. Li points out it’s not that bad to pass out and face plant if you are already crawling. #JamesRay #

• @luckygalnj @katiecoolady It’s not just a veg diet … it’s a protein restriction. #

• Li talking about US Marine mud run at Camp Pendleton :: surely not from experience. “There’s nothing weird about lying in the mud” #JamesRay #

• @Jeanne0o0 Might change their IQ too :: permanently :: like Daniel P. #

• Li is left handed. He’s a witch!! #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li introduces a series of photos from the 2008 #sweatlodge :: #JamesRay #

• The defense putting all their eggs in Hermia’s unconscious and seizing basket. Great job! #JamesRay #

• Not sure why Li would show these pics :: they look fucking awful. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li implying the everything was all smiles :: so it was all good. But Lou Caci went back in the lodge … was that all good? #JamesRay #

• This is not how I anticipated I would finally see these pictures. The “defense” rests. #JamesRay #

• “Just some folks out taking photos” … while some other folks are face down in the mud. #JamesRay #

• Maybe these are the State’s exhibits :: and defense is trying to “take the sting out” :: fearing they’ve lost the prior acts fight. #JamesRay #

• @katiecoolady @dotfreedom The “mud treatment” $377 extra … #JamesRay #

• Pics of smiles remind me of Linda A. saying at first she thought the most important thing was “that I didn’t die in the lodge” #JamesRay #

• RT @yakaru309 So that’s what a successful #JamesRay sweat looks like. Cross between a holiday camp and a war zone. #

• Long lead up to questions about Mr. Mercer’s police interview on Oct 8th :: it was important … not a a casual conversation .. correct? #

• On a tape of interview entered over Ms. Polk’s objection Mr. Mercer worries about using the wrong wood to heat the rocks. #JamesRay #

• He says the construction wood was used for other lodges too :: and that previous Ray lodges were a mix of woods. #JamesRay #

• The tape matched the testimony … so there’s that. #JamesRay #

• Note to criminals :: you have to at least pretend you’re not a criminal. It’s “literally” the least you can do. #JamesRay Recess. #

• wtf? Mr. Li plays a tape of Mercer saying it wasn’t hotter than usual in the lodge “for this guy” #JamesRay #

• Q: You were searching for answers cause it was such a surprise that people died? A: I wouldn’t say it was a surprise. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li has impeccable penmanship for a left hander :: and he’s obsessed with dudes with situation-abs … #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li :: wood burns … correct? –> flow chart madness 2011 #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li :: Are you afraid of spiders in blankets? A: Uhm … no. #

• Spiders don’t live in “colonies” Li … you genius. #JamesRay #

• k … bored. next witness!! #JamesRay #

• The alpha and omega told Dennis to STFU. #JamesRay Li stalling. #

• Mr. Li tells the jury that Det. Diskin didn’t tell the Medical Examiner about the oh so intriguing “old rat poison in the pump house” theory. #JamesRay #

• Attention all L.A. Sissy Lawyers :: Arizonans on jury not afraid of bugs. #JamesRay #

• OMG Mr. Li just pointed out you can’t see any ants in a zoomed in photo. #JamesRay #

• No ants in fruit photos. #JamesRay #

• Also not seen in photos :: raccoons :: bats :: flys :: maggots :: wasps :: vultures :: rats :: gnats … yada yada. #JamesRay #stupid #

• Well … that was super boring. Lunch. #JamesRay #

• We’re back :: it’s all about the wood :: you know it! #JamesRay #

• Mr. Mercer assumes it’s a bad idea to burn pressure treated wood. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li playing audio of Mr. Mercer talking with Diskin about how he doesn’t really know about treated wood. #JamesRay #

• Ms. Polk points out that Mr. Li is phrasing Det. Diskin’s questions as statements. #JamesRay #

• Mercer says the State told him recently that they cut some pieces off the sweat lodge tarps. Li loves this and tries to pretend it wasn’t trial prep #JamesRay #

• Monica Lindstrom :: a preggers lawyer :: is helping the Mercers pro bono. She was with them at the trial prep meeting. #JamesRay #

• Hamiltons & Mercers not on good terms after the death lodge. #JamesRay #

• Diskin told Mercer it wouldn’t hurt to talk to a lawyer. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li is done. That was fun. Ms. Polk begins re-direct. #JamesRay #

• Over objections Ms. Polk has Mr. Mercer explain that he’s pretty sure most of the tarp and blankets were the same in 2007 and 2009 #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li’s objections are silly. Sidebar. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Mercer never witnessed any problems with a non #JamesRay sweat lodge. #

• Mr. Mercer never saw or smelled anything poisonous or chemical-ish on the blankets. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li knows about as much about science as I know about the Ming Dynasty {ie nothing} #JamesRay #

• When tarps were used for other things :: then they weren’t used again for sweat lodges. #JamesRay #

• Court reporter choked up … on choking. #JamesRay #

• Ted was warned by Gary that they were going to see some crazy stuff that doesn’t normally go down in sweat lodges. #JamesRay #

• Ms. Polk shows Ted the “Hermia smiling” photo again :: Ted doesn’t think she went in the lodge in 2008. #JamesRay #

• Mercer thinks the 2008 photos were taken about thirty minutes after the lodge. Judge going to allow Li a recross on that topic. #JamesRay #

• The log Fawn Foster was sitting on in 2009 was in roughly the same place as in 2008. #JamesRay #

• Q: Whose idea were the anti-mud-hole tarps? A: Probably Debbie and mine. #JamesRay #

• I manifested this 20min recess for my flowing energies. #JamesRay #

• Hopefully on recross Mr. Li will bring up Fawn Foster’s priors. #JamesRay #

• Talking about “the very nice lady” who looks in such a bad way in the pics. She couldn’t remember her name or formulate sentences. #JamesRay #

• Marta is in a bunch of these pics :: I think :: looking like a menacing cultie #JamesRay #

• Ms. Polk shows pic of a smile next to a collapse and asks Ted where each sat within the lodge. Great question .. no objection. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li asks Ms. Polk for the exhibit number to interrupt her crushing #JamesRay … #

• “Some people came out very empowered, and some people came out on their face.” ~Ted Mercer #JamesRay #

• Q: Do the pictures show all the horrors? Objection! A: No … many not pictured. #JamesRay #

• Ted talks about Martino trying to save Goulet … #JamesRay #

• He was trying to tear off the back of the lodge so his girlfriend wouldn’t die. #JamesRay #

• Ms. Polk helps Mr. Li with maths :: stereotype smack down! #

• I’m starting a rumor that Truc just quit. #JamesRay #

• Ms. Polk asks Mercer if “the wood” wasn’t the first thing he told detectives about. Transcript says yes .. Mr. Li so sad. #JamesRay #

• Mercer wasn’t really concerned with the wood. He was worried about #JamesRay Objection! sustained #

• Ms. Polk shows that the Mercer interview about the wood not done near the wood so he wasn’t pointing to pile Li was pointing to. #JamesRay #

• While Ted was living at Angel Valley :: his food was rarely :: if ever :: swarmed with ants. #JamesRay #

• The State has found the bugs. #JamesRay #

• Pics from 2008 shown and Ted asked about all the people exhibiting bright red skin. Didn’t happen in non #JamesRay lodges. #

• Free will :: was Ray’s encouragement different from that of other facilitators? A: More pushy about returning … less concern. #JamesRay #

• Mr. Li hissy fit fail :: Ms. Polk reads transcript for context. Det. Diskin making a general statement about talking to the Medical Examiner about everything … not specific to wood or rat toxins. #

• Ms. Polk completes her redirect :: Sidebar before Mr. Li’s recross about the timing of 2008 photos. #JamesRay #

• The pics still probably timed to 30 min after the lodge. #JamesRay Recross pointless. #

• Jury is out :: let’s fight … then quit. #JamesRay #

• Recess until 9:00am Arizona Standard Time … tell the ants. #JamesRay #

One last picture. Ted Mercer didn’t identify this nice lady :: but I think I can …

… she went back … again … and again … and again.

I just wanna grab her :: and scream at her …

DON’T GO BACK! … DON’T GO BACK!

He’s lying to you!

He hates you!

Please :: please :: please :: don’t go back.

{eyes fill with sadness}

“James, it’s Laura. I’m concerned about Liz.”
