Thanks for the laugh! :floorlaugh:Here I worried that I missed something important, since she said we'd start promptly at 9:30!
Carrying over from the last thread
Please don't anyone go anic: when you hear the jury instruction for manslaughter..
Cases have been reversed due to the lesser included not being instructed
Here is one case I can think of off the top of my head:
STATE OF FLORIDA vs ALEJANDRO FERRER
We therefore hold that appellate counsel was ineffective in failing to argue
that the then-standard manslaughter by act instruction was fundamentally erroneous because it included an additional element of intent to kill. Because a new appeal would be redundant in this case, we reverse Ferrer's conviction for second-degree murder with a weapon, vacate the sentence, and remand for a new trial. See Del Valle, 52 So. 3d at 19.

We should be treated to juror instructions before Juan starts his closing arguments. Counsel is still in chambers. #JodiArias
Will JW or KN be able to object while Juan Martinez is speaking?
Beth Karas implied that Nurmi might do closing arguments (Willmott did opening). If its Nurmi, this could take days. If its Willmott, I might decide to find some chores to do. Either way, the defense arguments will be chock full of lies and I'm not sure if I can stand it.
