Dont even tell me she won't do this
I don't doubt JM; I doubt the jury, who, according to tweets, were bored yesterday. Bored people generally tune out. No matter how brilliant Martinez is being in questioning Jodi, if the 12 people who matter are tuning out, there is a problem.
The jury should pay attention, but if they aren't, the prosecutor or any lawyer facing a jury, needs to bring forth the information in a more engaging way. It shouldn't be like that, but I think it is and a lawyer can either adapt or lose the jury.
The last couple of days of direct, the jury were becoming restless and there were reports from fellow sleuthers that the jury was bored, which, IMO, meant they were starting to tune out. Nurmi didn't recover, thank God. But if the same is happening during cross, I want Martinez to recover.
Mr Martinez is brilliant and I would never, ever tell him how to do his job, just like I'd never tell Nora Roberts how to write a book; she could write it technically perfect, but if she were boring her readers, I'd say so and that would be her problem to fix. If and I stress *if* the jury is tuning out, it's a problem Martinez needs to fix.
Just IMO

Oh too funny! Or porta pottyLOL, at this point I'm ready to start using a catheter. :crazy:
maybe some one can address that in the psych thread..... it seems really odd...
I have a question while we are waiting. I am pretty late to following this trial but I thought I heard them talking the other day about her license plate being upside down after she left California in June, 2008. Something about seeing kids playing around her car and thinking they were playing a joke on her. Then I was reading some of the threads about earlier in the trial and they were talking about her license plate being upside down not long after she met Travis. When did that happen and why would it be relevant if it happened a long time ago?
