4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered, Bryan Kohberger Arrested, Moscow, Nov 2022 #107

Have you seen any of the YouTube channels that excoriate them on a regular basis? I’m glad Judge Hippler won’t give such “content creators” any fodder.

No, I only follow the case here. I can understand not showing their faces, but wish we could hear the audio. My heart breaks for them.

So we won’t see or hear them? That’s odd.

I think he means that the video stream will be turned off during any testimony from DM or BF, not the audio. We will still be able to hear their testimony. JMO

 

[browneyes]

So they will act as if they were regular jurors until deliberation, but they will participate in deliberations only if needed, and if needed, will be selected randomly from the pool of alternates?

Exactly that. Although in some cases, the alternates aren’t chosen until right before deliberations. No one knows their status.

Thank you! Makes sense.

What does this mean? No objections?

It's an opening statement, not a closing argument.

He's just putting Counsel on notice thst if they veer into argument in their opening statements, he will sustain objections.

Hence, "don't do it."

Chicanery. Word of the day.

@BrianEntin


Judge is warning lawyers to be polite during Kohberger trial. Doesn't want any accusations in front of the jury. Says tensions rise, but must always be professional and refer to each side as Ms. and Mr. This judge is very strict and does not mess around.

Sorry for being harsh.

My heart breaks, too. I don’t follow these channels either. I periodically check in on their comments, though, to be prepared for the worst (jury nullification), to try to wrap my head around what these humans are thinking.

The human condition—so very complicated. IMO we each must face what we dislike to ever be part of making things a little bit better, even if our part is tiny. Reaching one person can be enough.

 

[PunishThenForgive]

I hope he says no.

Just to clarify, do you hope Judge Hippler will not show the faces of witnesses?

Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant for sure! But now watching him "dumbed down" in no suitcoat. hunched and drawn, sitting with or on his hands is just as obnoxious.

I don't get Ted Bundy vibes off him in the courtroom, now or when he first appeared. The photo of Bry Baby in the link above reminds me of Jens Söring in his younger years while on trial -

MOO

I really expected fireworks and theatrics today.

Judge doesn't mess around.

It shows.

What is BK doing with his mouth?

Can he raise his hands?

 

[Chimera]

Have followed/read about this case without commenting very much; but did anyone watch Dateline's episode about the murders ?
And if so, what do you think ?
The news about the temp roommate, the college student-- was new to me.
Eeek !
Glad she is ok.

He looks totally zoned out. I wonder how long he can contain himself as he has now presented in the last couple of hearings and since his autism dx was made public. Frankly I don't buy for one minute his sudden plunge into the neurodivergent universe. I'd still rather attempt though to watch BK's face (as good as it can be with the streaming format) than look at Karen Read's RBF for any long period of time.

 

[PunishThenForgive]

He doesn't want downtime for the jury.

They might need it. This trial is going to be emotionally exhausting.

He may be medicated. A lot of defendants seem zoned out. Anne Taylor looked depressed.

But Hippler warned the defense that it needed to provide two things by the end of next week: evidence, rather than just allegations; and an argument in support of the admissibility of its case. The judge said the defense’s information was “potentially fairly objectionable in terms of admissibility.”
