Once again, the Judge says that the jurors were carefully chosen and he trusts that they are capable, essentially, of discernment.
Judge just shot down defense's assertion that this Court would have to relitigate the dissolution of the marriage. He says this assertion has no merit.
Prior bad acts can be allowed. They cannot be unfairly prejudicial ...
Sounds like he WILL allow focused declarations made by JFd, not everything she said, but certain things that go to fear, anger, terror....
The court will be keen to entertain objections.
He is going to allow the marital discord.
Not for probative value but if it goes toward her state of mind, fear, terror, and motive in this case.
Collective win for the State. And IMO the memory of JFd.
