Your post are very entertaining......in a good way! I think I get what you are saying. Both sides are making their game of chess so apparent, we are left with a battle between them, rather than seeking the truth????
I do too. I think the jury is beginning to see BZ as someone that will do everything from confusing the witness to putting words in their mouths to try to convict Cooper. That is not how it should be. If the prosecutor can't accomplish his task in a respectful, "clean" manner, I would be very suspecious of what else he is pulling.
I didn't see it that way. I honestly think Boz was confusing himself and the witness. And the witness was confusing Boz. It was just a big mess and I was so thankful to get that man off the witness stand for his own sake and everybody else's.
Yup. Precisely. It all started when....(kidding kind of) Kurtz accused the police of being inept and dishonest. DA's office and courts lit that on fire. Then it turns out to sort of kind of be true and that lit the defense on fire.
I still say the best thing is for the courts to impose a permanent ban on dating (for BC, not the residents of Lochsteria Lane) put a tracking device on him, postpone his case for five years and allow AS to hang him out to dry on a $100 million dollar WD civil case. Then pitch the charge and make him pay that amount to her family whilst working away. Everybody wins but NC, but let's be honest, she already lost. At least that way (the judgement,etc) I feel like something went her way and her kids can be taken care of via her family with BC's money.
NCSU95--how did the interview go? Wasn't that today? If so, I hope everything went well and you'll know something soon!
The confusion came about because the DA got to him. Instead of him focusing on the job at hand.....he got caught up trying to defend the testimony with non-relevant answers. He should have stayed focused and answer the questions only. He was an unprepared, ill-tempered witness.....easy for the DA actually. JMO
The confusion came about because he actually did try to reproduce the scenario on another phone in June of 09. So he did a re-enactment on another phone and then again on NCs phone in Sep 10. I found BZ to be completely unprofessional today. He kept intentionally (in my opinion), calling the phone Brad's phone or throwing out wrong dates on purpose to try and impeach the witness. I could see once, but he probably called that Brad's phone at least 5 different times.

Not sure I understand you here.

Dear DA CW:
Might I recommend that BZ not be allowed anywhere near any more defense witnesses.
This thing is already a mess and the high strung antics are making it worse. I understand he may be the only person in the DA's office with both a Myspace and a Facebook app on his phone, but in all honesty, he and Kurtz are beginning to look like what I imagine happens when siamese twins are separated that don't want to be separated do when put on opposite sides of a legal case.
You actually had a witness leave the stand today muttering the words "Thank God" within earshot of the jury. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you also apparently had ANOTHER witness come on websleuths to defend THEMSELVES.
I would recommend that maybe SS05 take over for HK and possibly NC95 as co-counsel with FD being allowed to continue her diligent research. I am fairly positive that GL and M74 could gladly pick up the pros. We have several knowledgable technical experts who would gladly provide etch-a-sketches and abacuses for the remainder of the testimony. If I shave my head, I can pull off the Gess-style of THJG. I already have the voice down just in case.
We just need a day or two to prep and we can pick up where this is leaving off.
Thanks,
JF
AND honorable moderators...you don't have to put me on TO. I am TOing myself and thinking that once this trial is over, I will need a seven day vacay at Holly Hill or another local facility to wipe the addiction from my brow and the drool from my chin.
Ouch! You really think it's "all about the money"? Do you have a daughter?

I disagree. I think the witnesses are not that strong in their convictions. The defense tried to do the same thing with the prosecution witnesses and it didn't work. If a witness is truthful and convinced of the evidence being presented, they will not be "tripped up". MOO
He tried every dirty trick in the book. BZ asked the witness if he was personally invested in the case. I think that question needs to be directed at the prosecutor. He seems to be taking this very personally and if anyone appears to have lost all neutrality, it is the prosecutor. He's presenting a case, but it seems like he's fighting for his job.
The way his story came across, he and Brad feel apart as friends. When Nancy was missing, he reached out to Brad because he felt bad for him. Brad turned to him for a place to stay. To me I wondered why Brad didn't have any friends that were closer to him that he could turn to. It's not evidence of anything but that is the one thing that really struck me as odd today. Brad just didn't seem to have any real friends. MOO
He lost me when he made fun of the detective for using the term "puck" instead of "puk" or what would be the actual acronym "puc".
Usually the one doing the objecting is the one who will do the cross. Yes, SH seems to be gentle, if you will. But he's also the one Brad 'hung with' after Nancy's death, so he may hold some info. I'm unsure as to what he puts first, his friendship with Brad or assisting in a cover up.
