2011.05.19 Jury Selection DAY TEN (Morning Session)

[Blue Jackets fan]

I will be fine with 12 jurors and 3 alternitves.

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

Most balanced opinion of the death penalty I've heard

 

[repairmom]

PJ describes himself as a 6 on AF's death penalty scale. He's gonna make the cut!

 

[TorisMom003]

Death penalty is sad but it is something that we have to do. On a scale, maybe a 6.

 

[BritsKate]

PJ has no opinion on DP in this case. DP is something as a society we may have to do per PJ. PJ is a 6 on Ann's DP scale.

 

[Aedrys]

I've been lurking for awhile now but I do have to respond to this. If it really was a private matter, what do you expect? What proof do you require? He is lead counsel, it is at his client's discrection to continue without him.

I understand that. I wasn't expecting a full report of his activities or anything like that, but not one mention of anything happening yesterday? No apology from him from holding up jury selection, no acknowledgement of any kind that anything happened? This lawyer is known to be unethical, and now he's been given the green light to have a private matter whenever he wants to delay the trial because apparently there are no consequences for Baez that I have seen for three years yet. I'm not saying he didn't have a private matter, but if it was just a delay tactic, then it worked beautifully. I don't like seeing anyone manipulate our justice system, and I feel like that is exactly what Baez did yesterday. I sincerely hope there was no family emergency. If there was, I hope everyone is okay and no one is hurt. I don't wish any harm on anyone.

Here's hoping we finally get juror twelve, but I doubt it...and I fully expect a lot more private matters to come up in the near future...

Appears to be business as usual.

Looks like GA was right, she is the boss.

 

[strawberry]

I like the general voir dire part. I find the different life stories fascinating.

 

[sunsetbeach]

I like to picture her screaming (as she touches a pretend earpiece):

"Put him up, Liz. Put Baez up! PUT. HIM. UP!!"

I don't have a handy-dandy thingy, but my laptop is hooked up to the big screen in my living room by HDMI cord.

Oooh :tyou: I didn't know you could do that .... off to find my HDMI cord.

 

[Novice Seeker]

So is the pile of crap in front of her to hide the notes she writes.

:silly:

 

[Tiki]

How is this done? Could you ask your hubby what is needed. I would love to watch this in my sewing room Thanks!

You can buy a wire that plugs into your tv and computer - they come in all lengths. If you have wireless, you can get a wireless gizmo. Both available at Radio Shack. They will help you choose, but you have to know if your tv is digital or analog and look at where the wires would connect - older sets have that in back.

 

[nursebeeme]

If this PoJ gets through...we will then have the DT's last backstrike and we're back at 11. We have 15 left to find #12. And my guess is MAYBE getting 5-6 alternates...but no way 8 out of 15.

what say you?

we only have 10ish left

 

[SurfieTX]

I wish AF didn't re-educate each juror after HHJP has already explained it. imo she should have gotten her questions down to 3 at most

Exactly. When she goes on and on about the DP, she is sending a subliminal message that KC is guilty.

 

[MyTinkieGirl]

OK...might be just seein things...but I could have SWORN I saw WS on Simms computer screen from the "side" shot they did....looked like "blue headlines" and "sidelines"......

 

[repairmom]

This guy could be the foreman if the DT doesn't strike him. Sounds very smart, and balanced in his opinions.

[BigFatMommyDog]

sounds like a keeper for both sides

Thanks, I'll be heading off to Radio Shack during the lunch break:great:

I wouldn't bet on that.

 

[Soulmagent]

Is it just me or does anyone else's mind start to wonder because the judge talks too slow?

YES! but he is doing it for the transcriber.

Or you can watch on a PS3 directly from the website.
