MOO:
Those last exchanges at the end today are juicy.
So now we know JS’s game plan, his 4 witnesses:
-Michael Rose, he’s trying to squeeze in the sealed family court matter one last time. (Especially with the “highly irregular” contempt hearing! JS is willing to risk it all because he doesn’t have anything else, and I’m sure the pressure from Troconis clan mother is intense).
But Judge R has his number. JS is not to address any FD responses to the report including gestures or laughs. JS tries to push back but it’s clear Judge R is going to keep him on a short leash and perhaps even whip him with it if he gets anywhere even near to the double yellow line. “That should not take 25 minutes”.
Clearly Judge R doesn’t think much of JS’s petty antics or lawyering skills (subtle snub: judge R slips in that “as a defense attorney for many years, this court is aware…”. ) PS: he’s not kidding:
[in law school] “Judge Randolph was a member of the National Moot Court Team and was awarded the Best Oral Argument prize in the Northeast Regional Round of the Frederick Douglas Moot Court Competition in 1988. In his private law practice Judge Randolph tried seven capital felony/death eligible trials to verdict.”
-cell tower placement expert. Sure to be a doozy. Judge R also already called JS on this one too, saying this is not likely to be a substantial defense argument, that’s why Judge R didn’t require a report for the state in this one. Expect more peaks and valleys, elevation gain and drone view narration. How many accidents are on that curvy road up Avon Mountain? Are you aware their house is on the top of a MOUNTAIN? (With all her ski clout you’d expect MT to know what a real mountain is). Expect more minutiae of which angle cell tower signals travel and if they can crawl up mountains. For those needing to schedule medical appointments this is the day to put those requests in.
- memory expert, who hasn’t examined MT and runs a hustle testifying flagrantly for high profile defendants who are scraping the bottom of the barrel in big stakes cases where guilt is obvious. A Mama T pick for sure. If MTs going to prison, she’s going in style. Only the best for hija. Ted Bundy, Harvey Weinstein, Scooter Libby, Ghislaine Maxwell, can’t you just see Mama T exclaiming “we MUST have her!” But this kind of celebrity comes at a cost. Better up that pesky Fundly request…
- second language expert. Just one question on cross examination: was the sealed court order displayed on MTs laptop in 48 point font in contempt of court in English or Spanish? No further questions your honor.
And the cherry on the top, MT is currently looking into representation for her contempt hearing since what she did occurred during JS cross examination, so JS and AF decided it’s not appropriate for them to rep her. Highly irregular an understatement. Andy Bowman is drinking champagne and thanking his lucky stars he divested of this piece of rotting baggage that just keeps giving.
on closing video of the day, MT seems to be sinking into her slump. Wonder what kinds of anxiety meds she’s taking to get through court each day.
AF looked absolutely drained at the end today too. She was brought on originally as a “jury consultant” but boy is she getting more than she bargained for. A big wet blanket has dampened those girl giggles we saw so frequently early on.
Prosecution has stayed the course, and let the defendant do herself in.
MOO
