I really enjoy seeing how different the state's are in trying a case. With watching the case in NC and FL at the same time the 2 are so different in their laws.

I like the sequestration of the juror's during deliberations in FL, I truly think it is necessary. imo

I like the hear say rule though in other states, as to not allow it.

Just able to see so many difference's by seeing them at the same time. imo

Great learning experience, isn't it. BTW. I love this. Made me laugh:

Sorry I disappeared. My mom had an appointment and I didn't realize it would take so long.

Thank's for all of the updates. I'm reading through them now.

I have nothing to do tomorrow so I will be here to the very end.

Jewels, :bow: and others that have kept us up when folks are AFK ((folks who update))...and doing two trials at once! (meetup at *master* Bob Bashara trial later for sure?) :giggle: we'll have to go back to the online chat as we did with previous trials as will be x-rated comments on that trial perhaps. Zoey, you gonna watch that one and come back to chat?

When is that nasty trial?

When is that nasty trial?

Maybe October 2014?

I thought they said 10 but I guess I heard wrong. Easy to do with trying to watch 2 trials.

I hope this doesn't happen again, 2 trials at the same time. Right Zoey? although you have had 3? Sometimes it is just hard to pick just one.

Both victims, or I should say All victims deserve justice! imo

Some I have given more time to than others---but it is hard! Wish when they set them up they would confer with us watchers!!!!!

Jury in courtroom now for #McTear trial. Juror #17 being called to bench. She is returning to her seat.

I wonder what that was about.

Mr abrasive defense attorney saying this case is about the credibility of Jasmine B.

Uh, no, it's not
