According to the tweets, even the reporters are shocked by the details coming out.  I think this is exactly what Komisarjevsky wanted.  He knows he's going away, he just wants to cause as much harm as he can on the way out.

Family friend says she didn't think that family knew details of sexual assault. I really hope that's not true. #Komis

Bottom line: #Komis said he performed oral sex on an 11 yr old girl while she was tied up. Enough said.

William Petit and the Retelling
In the courtroom where a Connecticut doctor endured the wrenching trial of one of the two men accused of murdering his family, he is suffering through another trial. The same bad dream. Only nothing is ever the same.

A KIND OF AWFUL DREAD /// Unlike a year ago, the defense dared this time to cross-examine Petit. He didn't waver.

Now that just isn't right.  The DA should've prepared the family for what was going to come out.  A courtroom is not the place I'd want to hear those details.  Bless their hearts.

Courtroom Evacuated During Komisarjevsky Trial Thursday
Judge cuts short taped statement referring to oral sex with 11-year-old victim, saying, 'One of the jurors is having a tough time'
By ALAINE GRIFFIN, agriffin@courant.com The Hartford Courant

11:08 a.m. EDT, September 22, 2011
NEW HAVEN ——
UPDATE: The courthouse was evacuated after a fire alarm on Thursday morning. Everyone is now being let back in the building.

A judge's decision to abruptly end Wednesday's proceedings in the trial of Joshua Komisarjevsky was a signal of just how rough the evidence and testimony had been in the deadly Cheshire home invasion case.

Jurors viewed horrific crime-scene photos showing the bodies of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, Hayley and Michaela, and listened to much of Komisarjevsky's chilling audiotaped statement about the events of July 23, 2007
 ::snipping2::

[KittyMom]

If someone pulled the fire alarm as a prank, I hope they spend the night in jail.
