FANTASIA ADMITS TO ABORTION
Here are key parts of the court proceedings Monday, including Fantasia admitting to the abortion:
Lawyer: “See if you recognize this as being a letter you wrote to Mr. Cook on May 10th 2010″ (inaudible)
(inaudible) Fantasia reads the letter to the court. “I want you. I pray every night that I can be in your life forever, be your friend, lover, prayer partner, wife and MOTHER OF YOUR CHILDREN. As long as I can have you I will be the happiest girl in the world.” (inaudible)
Lawyer: “Ms Barrino, when you wrote this letter, you said you wanted to be the mother of his children, is this right?”
Fantasia: “Uh huh.”
Lawyer: “Were you pregnant with his child when you wrote this letter?”
Fantasia: “No, no.”
Lawyer: “Is it true at one point you told him you had an abortion?”
Fantasia’s Lawyer: Objection!
(ARGUMENTS BETWEEN LAWYERS)
Lawyer: “Ms Barrino, isn’t it true that you told Mr. Cook that you had aborted his child?”
Fantasia: “When I wrote this letter I was speaking in future references. Like, one day, I would love to be all of these things that I wrote. I was not pregnant with his child.”
Lawyer: “But did you tell Mr. Cook you aborted his child?”
Fantasia: “I did, yeah.”
Lawyer: “When did you tell Mr. Cook you had aborted his child?
Fantasia: “I’m not sure.”
Lawyer: “When did you abort his child?”
Fantasia: “It hasn’t been too long ago.”
Lawyer: “What’s not too long ago?
Fantasia: “I’m not sure.”
Lawyer: “I’m sorry?”
Fantasia: “I’m not sure. Probably when all this other stuff was happening.”
Lawyer: “Is it your testimony that this summer?”
Fantasia: “I’m not really sure.”
Lawyer: “How close in proximity was it to Mr. Cook leaving? In June 2010.”
Fantasia: “It was right after he left his home.”
Lawyer: “Mrs. Cook contends that she separated from Mr. Cook in June 16th 2010. How close in proximity to her date of separation did you contend that you aborted his child?”
Fantasia: “I’m not sure. Probably August when the other stuff happened.”
WINE 101: RIESLING
First-time Riesling drinkers may find this wine a bit of a wild card. Your wine-drinking experience can vary greatly, depending on which bottle you pick off of the shelf.
The nose. The one thing you can be sure of is the signature Riesling perfume — all good Rieslings carry a strong floral bouquet.
The taste. Compared with its welcoming and upfront aroma, the way a Riesling tastes may be surprising. Rather than the big fruits and florals you were expecting, you’ll find tastes that are harder to pinpoint. Think quirky metallic or flinty hints.
Sweet or dry. Rieslings can also range from bone dry to semisweet. The old-fashioned German Liebfraumilch, a heavy semisweet wine, gave sweet Rieslings a bad name, but these days there are refreshingly bright incarnations. Just make sure to read your label carefully, and confirm with wine store staff if you’re unsure.
The acid. The grape grows in colder climates, and the acidity that results from that environment makes this wine a mouthwatering appetite opener, the perfect for cold starters such as salads and ceviches.
