GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 Aug 2014 - Enrique Arochi kidnapping trial #5

[MsJosie]

Each side gets 45 minutes. The order is Pros - Def - Pros.

So at this point, the state will have another 36 minutes to speak, after the defense's turn ends.

Thanks I thought so.

Wow, he is all over the place with Hunter's immunity deal!

Yeah, he's kinda making it up as he goes along, it seems. He's already been called out two different times for arguing "outside the evidence" which is a major no-no, with a stern warning the last time that it better not happen again.

OK, weird slide he just put up (not same one that judge told him to take down). A jockey on a horse that's ahead of the pack, with others trailing behind in distance, with GUILTY plastered across the top of the picture. WTH?
