There is a repeated accentuation of H. 11 these days of the lunar eclipse, the scheduled depositions, salvarenga's horary, child protective services jail visit, the memorial, all events lit by the Sun in Eleven. Apart from the jury and circumstances outside our control, this House deals with community, society, the collective.
After watching a video, thanks to Angel's link, wherein Baden and Baez stumped for their client, I would like to throw out a question. Are their efforts hitting home with you? Is society responding to the effort to portray the prisoner as innocent like The Fugitive? Is someone else, with one or two arms, the actual culprit in your mind? Aquarius has everything to do with television and millions of viewers see and hear these appeals. The lunar node is at a critical degree of a Fixed Sign, 9. This degree carries faith in the ability to overcome all obstacles and difficulties. That seems to match the attitude of Baez and Baden but do you share their optimism?
Tuba,
I found your question so interesting I had to cast a chart, set for the hub of activity, Orlando Florida.
Are Defense's Efforts Hitting Home with the Public?
See chart here:

Defense is JUPITER Lord 7 and the Public is MERCURY Lord 1 as well as MOON, always co-ruler and fittingly here, natural significator of the Public.
JUPITER the Defense is posited in the 9th House of mass communications in Aquarius of television broadcasting, applying conjunct to NORTH NODE in critical degree (9 Fixed) --- "faith in ability to overcome all obstacles" per Tuba's post quoted here.
MERCURY the Public is parallel JUPITER the Defense, so the Public is definitely
listening intently --- but --- MERCURY in Capricorn is in MOON's detriment and JUPITER's Fall, so the Public is harmed by Defense's position.
On top of that, Public loathes Defense (MERCURY in sign of JUPITER's Fall). In other words, the Public hates Defense's guts...
Before MOON goes Void of Course, she opposes MERCURY across the 2/8 axis. This gives high awareness of
Death (MERCURY in 8th House) and
values (MOON conjunct 2nd House). With Cancer, MOON's own sign, on the cusp of the 2nd House with MOON the Public conjunct,
motherhood is the value on Public's mind.
Also notice MERCURY rules the 5th House of the Child with 29th End of Rope degree on 5th House cusp. The Public has had just about enough! MERCURY as both Public and Child gives a sense of perfect sympathy. As a matter of fact, MERCURY the Public is quindecile (165 degrees) MOON,
obsessed with this Child, this case, this Death. That judgment is confirmed by heliocentric MERCURY 18:26 Libra intercepted in 5th House of the Child as well as MOON being Out of Bounds.
MOON the Public is inconjunct (150 degrees) JUPITER the Defense. This is a huge disconnect. The Public isn't taking Defense any farther than they can throw them.....
Please note one other thing --- refer to the chart to see where I drew it in --- with JUPITER the Defense 3 degrees from conjunction to TISIPHONE, and with TISIPHONE equalling the midpoint between MERCURY the Public and the Midheaven (TISIPHONE = MERCURY/MC),
revenge against the person who committed the crime against the Family is what is on the Public's agenda, one-armed imaginannies notwithstanding.....
Thanks,
Soulscape
