i think i much prefer a quiet trial thread,a lot easier to discuss thing. posts were zooming all over the place in the JA thread,was sometimes hard to keep up

 

[josie1986]

Lissette Martinez ‏@martinezliss 8s
Cm: if Danny was reaching for the area where an officer's gun is, that would catch your attnt right?
V: absolutely #richardchrisman

Good for WAT (and it's about time! lol), maybe they'll change their mind on live feed, the tweets say the courtroom is packed again, there is plenty of interest in this case. But if the media decide to wait until the defense's case in chief before turning on the live feed I'll not watch, that'll be too much like trying to sway public opinion on the media's part.

Two trials that some of us here have watched together were live streamed (while *not* being carried by HLN) and had horrible audio/visual until the defense's c.i.c., then magically all problems were resolved and we watched mostly uninterrupted. I'm growing very suspicious of media's intentions lately and decisions made with this trial are throwing more gasoline on that ember. Rant part 2 over. lol
