wftv feed interrupted again (I watch that first just to be loyal to KB). Wonder if "somebody" is out in the parking lot yanking feed wires on behalf of the DT...
 
Aren't the alternates chosen at random from the total of 20, later?
 
The state used a strike on the last juror (the 21 year old college kid)


I think the state had him wrong. They assumed he was a college kid who would find KC 'pretty,' I think. I don't want to outright say my opinion of him, because that would be wrong to do. However, from listening to him talk, I can honestly say I am 100% certain KC would not be his type.
 
what a loss....

this guy would have been fine

moo....

Perhaps - but I trust the SA's.

Remember - we can only HEAR the PJ - they are actually WATCHING him also. Did he keep looking over at ICA - with interest or with disdain? Did he have a disingenuous look about him when he answered? Were there perhaps other Tweets unrelated to LE issues, that may not be relevant to the trial, but caused enough concern for the State that they decided against him?

Also - if the DT wanted him - maybe the SA could discern the reasons WHY they wanted him and decided losing him was preferable?
 
I'm not sure about the reason for striking the last juror. But clearly the state didn't like something and the defense did. HHJP seemed to disagree with the state. I;m on the fence but if they have a chance to use their peremptories later as "back strikes" once everyone who has made it through questioning has, then I'm thinking they may have jumped the gun again. There could be jurors who are much worse for the state. I hope they are not acting impulsively.

Ick, JB's stupid guffawing, "May I call you miss 1429?" Smirk, smirk. Ick.

I think their gut instincts to strike him were correct. He is close to Casey's age, has no kids, attends her 'alma mater', would not be upset by her party pix, and does not have a lot of respect for LE. Imo,he could be a wild card holdout on the jury. And he is pretty direct and forceful, seems like some one who might try and lead others in a rebellion. I think they made a wise decision.
 
Sorry all, I had T-ball with the kids all day today and I tried to check while I was on the field about 45 minutes ago, but I can't read anything on my phone. Can someone, pretty please, tell me how many jurors we have now, so I can get an idea of how many more there are to find? Thanks!
 
Whatever that motion is that the DT keeps using when the state challenges a PJ....is basically saying the SA is a liar, right??

And, the guy yesterday that sold memorabilia....JB flat out called him a liar. Why was HHJP so snippy over the state claiming the same thing about Mr. Actor college guy?
 
I feel the same way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, not getting anything on WESH either. I think TruTV is providing the feed to all local channels. Wonder what is happening?
