GUILTY FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen #17

[Blue Shakehead]

Rashbaum is a great lawyer with a guilty client and terrible facts. His closing started strong but when he's having to offer alternative explanations for all these statements - the Defense is exposed as absurd.

 

[Gypsy Road]

Yes, one of the killers was Puerto Rican, therefore, Charlie didn’t do it. Logic!

Puzzle Pieces!!

'there is no code but yes they're speaking carefully'

' he doesn't go to the police because it's clear that the police wouldn't believe him just like they don't believe him no' shouts Rashbaum as he throws his hands in the air

He does need to learn to pronounce the letter T, though.

What? They don’t believe him now because he didn’t go to them at the time. They might have believed him then. Unless he was guilty.

Every single time he says “And you may ask yourself….”

I start finishing the song by the Talking Heads!

 

[amicuscurie]

Objection! Speculation cannot be reasonable doubt!!!

OMG I am totally doing this too. LOL

How did I get here??

He sounds like he’s from Maryland, but I don’t think he is. His wife is though. I went to HS in Maryland and picked up a Maryland accent quick! So many pronunciations he makes sound like he spent time in there.

 

[cottonweaver]

has Rashb just tried to throw the trial on purpose* ?

ETA - he told the jury that Charlie has been in jail a year and a half.
(* Under Ineffective counsel appeal - says Tim Janssen)

 

[Windward Gal]

Wow, Rash just told the jury that Charlie has been in jail for 18 months! Wow…. Charlie could use that for his appeal maybe.

 

[IQuestion]

Actually I think DM was in NYC at the time of HA’s 70th birthday party (according to what WA said in her police interview)

(IMO part of the difficulty of getting the hit done that summer was that on weeks when DM did not have the kids, he was often in NYC or otherwise away from FL)

EXACTLY!!

 

[amicuscurie]

That’s not what the jury is supposed to do. There aren’t two REASONABLE explanations. That’s totally misleading. State better correct that.

 

[Gypsy Road]

OMG I am totally doing this too. LOL

How did I get here??

“Same as it ever was….”

 

[fred&edna]

Rashbaum isn't gonna cry when he gets to the end, is he?

 

[amicuscurie]

Objection- what would Rashbaum say? Really?

 

[Wishbone]

thank you....he's done

 

[Blue Shakehead]

GO GEORGIA.

Rashbaum:
I don't get to speak to you again so during Rebuttal I want you to ask yourself ' but what would Rashbaum say?' to their points

' Not guilty.....End this nightmare, send him home'


ETA:
Tim Janssen on STS says that he thinks that DR ' lost the jury 45mins ago, he doesn't know when to stop'
Lol at commenter in STS live chat ' Rashbaum gets paid by the word'

 

[amicuscurie]

Rashbaum isn't gonna cry when he gets to the end, is he?

He actually did sound like his voice was breaking
