I think someone missed that speech....all eight times he was working towards the Bar exam....
Eight times? Can you imagine going to a Physician who only passed his final exams at the eighth attempt?

Exactly. The best advice I've received thus far was from a senior partner on my first day of work who told us baby lawyers: "Litigation is theatre. When you are in the courtroom, you want every juror to fall in love with you. You want to be George Clooney or Julia Roberts. You want to be impeccably polite to everyone from the judge, to the court officers, to the security guards at the entrance. You must be cognizant at all times that your demeanor affects what the jurors hear you say, and how they hear it. Jurors are people. And people, subconsciously at least, are partial to who they like."
In all the previews for the show they hyped how he was going to talk about Casey's behavior...then nada. I assume he just wanted to get face time. The funny thing...he makes it sound like he's been practicing forever...but I know he wasn't admitted to the bar decades ago. Anyone know the exact date?Three Cheers..... finally someone on JVM speaking their mind, instead of tip-toeing around......Judge Karen Mills-Francis asked why Jose B. even bothered coming on the show, where he basically couldn't answer anything, and then she alluded to his "Grand Standing":croc:

I didn't get to see the whole JVM show...just the end...but I wish someone had asked JB how he and his team were getting paid.
You are 100% correct. I've been there----on a jury, and it matters. I would add that jurors do not like to be taken for fools. And I think JB, AL, LKB are making that mistake. I also think that most jurors feel protective of a judge like Judge S. And the disparaging remarks that LKB has made about the defense team "educating this judge"........I hope they go there. The jurors will loathe her. And subsequently her revolting client.
Sept, 2005. It was in the Orlando Sentinel expose' last May.
ETA, it was his second try, btw.
EXACTLY! Thank you! You made your points much more eloquently than I could have, I am so thankful. It means more from a juror than a spin-doctor (lawyer). I'll expand later, but my mentor always says you have to imagine your jury consists of PhDs. You can always explain difficult concepts later on, but no one will forget if you treat the jury like children.
Personally I think its good to remember that odds are each member of the jury know something a lot better than you do, whether it be medicine, plumbing, electricity, retail, etc.
"If you hate being talked down to at the mechanics, how do you think someone you dragged out of work to sit in a courtroom feels?"

Nice to see you also lawlady84. :wave:(O/T) Nice to see you whiteangora, I haven't seen your hilarious icon in a while. I may have been MIA, but I saw your post and wanted to say hello! :blowkiss:
On JVM tonight JB was asked about KC's partying during the time her daughter was missing, JB stated 'it will come out at trial, it will have to come out, it's the pink elephant in the room'. (is he suggesting he is seeing pink elephants?)
Are you serious?! And here I thought she was being all wishy washy. Gotta give her her due.JVM asked that very question. He refused to answer based on privilege.

Well seeing that Casey isn't working I can't imagine she's the one doing the paying.JVM did ask that question of JB. He smiled real big, then stated that payment agreements between his clients was confidential
Well seeing that Casey isn't working I can't imagine she's the one doing the paying.
1)Will there be any follow up or consequences of any kind to Macaluso's insistence that they have/had evidence that shows casey is innocent, due to someone moving the body after Casey was in jail (not that it proves anything)
2)Will there be an effort to dig up any and every public record and bit of history on Mort Smith, the PI (?) for the defense? Criminal records, ex wives, failed support payments, etc? Since the defense wants to play this game, they should all be subject to the same rules they foist on everyone else.
JVM asked that very question. He refused to answer based on privilege.
