Yes. The defense struck out. Again.

The motion to dismiss the extreme cruelty finding. The defense wanted the DP option removed.

I'm going to visit a neighbor/friend in the hospital this morning. Same neighbor I was visiting the afternoon of CKJA's 1st degree murder verdict AND CKJA's extreme cruelty finding. Maybe I should have visited her on the day the jury hung on the DP....

That is very true, IMO. Especially in Angela Corey's district. IMO.

Florida does. F.S. 448.102(2): protects an employee who provided information to or testified before any appropriate government agency, person, or entity conducting an investigation, hearing or inquiry into an alleged violation of any law, rule or regulation by the employer...

In January, he used computer software technology to extract photographs and text messages from the source file in Martin’s cellphone. Kruidbos was able to recover more information than the Florida Department of Law Enforcement obtained previously. GETTING LEGAL ADVICE Kruidbos said he...

Could the judge's choice of relevance v authenticity as the basis for her decision make any difference in the appeals process?

I don't think any FL LE would consider your example to be "lawful" in any sense of the word. IMO.

I'm so glad to be back here today. Missed you yesterday!

See you all on Friday. Take good notes tomorrow, please!

Motion of sanction denied? Is that what I just heard?

SOP in Florida. Only 12 member juries for first degree murder cases, 6 for everything else.

Yes. Donnelly was in the courtroom on June 26th and 27th and his subpoena was issued on, IIRC, July 4th. IMO.

I know it was determined that Donnelly's appearances in the courtroom predated his subpoena. So no sanctions necessary. Haven't heard anything regarding the others. As always, MOOOOO.
