I’m 100% with Otto. One thing I took from the Netflix show was that the parents would only acknowledge something as fact if it suited their narrative. They wholeheartedly agreed that the fellow who said Amy left the ship and went to a bar should be believed but the second part of his same...

So, her Birkenstocks were left on the deck but no mention of any other footwear missing. Did she leave the cabin barefoot? And do we know how much money Yellow's daughter was paid to cast her father in such a bad light? Either intentionally or accidently, I think she went over the balcony

Who was the heavy set female speaking for the O'Keefe family? She tried, but failed to, suppress her bitterness

DBM {mod edit}

Justice served for the defendant. Now, for me, back to more important things. Got some horse racing to watch

Didn't this happened a few popes ago? The voting crew switched from black smoke to white smoke and were ready to announce when the smoke turned black again. I think one of the Cardinals in the voting room accidently emptied his pipe tobacco on the fire and turned the smoke black again by accident.

Apparently the tuna sandwiches for lunch were below par, so some jurors changed their collective minds and decided on a better lunch on Friday.

My point exactly. Agree 100%. Well said.

I can see a guilty on the OUI. Having said that, it would be an absolute injustice if she were given the maximum sentence for that. A small fine maybe, as a first time offender. That, along with any hardship she has incurred due to the trials, is more than enough of a penalty.

--Her desire to be front and centre of most everything. --Her inappropriate back and forth texts with the creepy cop while she was currently in a relationship with the victim. --At every side bar, her apparent need to not act like 99.9% of all defendants and just stay at the defense table and...

Despising the defendant (as I do) and believing she's not guilty (as I do) are not mutually exclusive.

Acting like a bunch of posers. Kinda sad considering what's at stake. No matter the verdict, my biggest wish is the defendant disappears from the limelight never to be heard of again.

The satisfaction of sending someone to prison just because she thinks they are guilty? She clearly has something to gain in her own mind. Wonder if she or her husband are gamblers and placed a big wager on a guilty verdict on murder?

I love how Jackson keeps calling the victim by his first name (John). He absolutely comes across as sympathetic towards JOK. Unlike many trials, where defense lawyers turn to victim blaming or shaming.

Jackson is so good at his job that I'm willing to bet that if we began this case from scratch with him as the prosecutor (and Brennan as the defense attorney) that there's a really good chance a jury would find the defendant guilty.
