BBMI'll continue to be baffled why Mr. Webb was supposed to demonstrate anything at all. This was a wrongful death lawsuit, not a criminal trial and his client was the defendant and the burden of proof rested totally on the plaintiff. That said, Mr. Greer also was not present and yet the Judge allowed a salacious re-creation in his closing. I'll continue to question if that really is allowed and we'll just have to wait and see if the appellate court agrees with Mr. Webb. Unless, the Judge intervenes before then, of course.
Mr Greers re-creation was based on physical evidence (rope length, etc) and Adams own description in the 911 call, particularly his claimed need to get on a table to cut Rebecca down...shown to be unnecessary by the recreation. IMO, JMO, MOO, etc.
Using a naked, lifelike mannequin for this re-creation/visual aid in this particular setting is not salacious in the minds of normal people. Not even close. Such word usage is your opinion stated as fact with no disclaimer as required, and is inflammatory, inaccurate and insulting to Mr Greer and the Judge who allowed the recreation. IMO, JMO, MOO, etc.

I see by your last sentence that you are apparently still expecting and hoping for a mistrial based on juror misconduct as happened in the case you mentioned earlier? (Link below) If my interpretation of your earlier post is accurate, its perhaps understandable that youd hope and/or expect juror misconduct, but juries are all different, and you may well be disappointed. And you may want to rethink what you seem to have implied. The jury system is fundamental to our justice system. While there are human flaws, to hope that someone among these 12 good citizens has been guilty of misconduct seems to be a wish that the jury system is broken (at least in a case your side loses.) I find that to be very disturbing. IMO, JMO, MOO, etc.
