long weekend break: discuss the latest here #114

[Love Never Fails]

Help anyone! With the names that trial watchers have given the jurors who would this be? Tricolor?

ETA: Just saw on the post before mine this would be Tricolor.

Juror five is tri color.

Is there a trial today? I went to wptv.com and all I see is recaps.

My husband took me target shooting this weekend (first time ever - loved it!!). Before we went in, we were looking through all of the guns they had for sale. I thought of the gun Jodi used on Travis so I asked my husband to find one and show me (I wanted to see it in person). We couldn't find one and he said he'd never heard of a .25. He kept saying, "Are you sure? I don't think there's any such gun."

Now, he's no gun expert by any means, but is it not a common gun?

Hopeful, not sure learning guns myself. But I think it was mentioned a small .25 caliber which can be several different styles?

Here here a website with different types

I think, not sure but have heard a small 25 caliber may not do the trick, only severally injury.

I am being trained on my Ruger lcp 380, never was scared of guns till I purchased one started handling it and shooting at ranch and seeing different guns and what power they have.

Would like to know myself if it was said exactly what type of 25 caliber gun Travis was shot with.

:goodpost:she makes my blood boil!!!!!
I cannot wait to see her be crossed by JM!!!

Does anyone have any idea when that will be?? I cannot bear to hear another word out of her mouth from direct! I just want to hear cross. lease: If JW keeps her on the stand for too much longer for direct I think the Jurors will have PTSD!

Not good. I'm not surprised....but not good.
Send good energy out there everybody....
:sigh:

According to fellow Sleuthers/observers....#5 is tri-color. Hmmm. My hinky meter is pegged!

So this is about some juror talking to another juror??? Is that what they're saying?

After watching a Nurmi replay the other day, I was ready to scream "GET ON WITH IT" before he finished his first sentence.

I wonder who told him he had a career as a trial attorney. Seriously, you'd think some sort of law school counselor would have said "you know, maybe patent law is for you." You've got to have some things going for you to be a good trial lawyer and the inability to get a sentence out is one of them.

You want jurors to base their verdict on evidence but when it is presented in such a way that the jury can't pay attention long enough for you to make your point, then trial law isn't your forte.

Wilmott was irritating but not in the way that made me want to stand up and scream. I'm not blessed with patience and would have been a poor juror on this case or any case Nurmi tried.

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

Do you think that Nurmi actually uses his mind-numbing droning as a way to get people to tune out what he's saying? Maybe the other side? Maybe he can sneak things in that way.

I see him as the lesser of the 2 evils (Willmott being the other) because I have such a strong unpleasant reaction to Willmott. Her immature style and voice irritate me. I guess that's why she tag-teams with Nurmi--one to put you to sleep, one to act as nails on a chalkboard to wake you up.

Hln reporting Jodie's jails schedule

Many years ago there was a summer ABC show that was shot during jury deliberations, there were only a few episodes. I thinkit was called In the Jury Room

In one trial they go in for deliberations and a black woman announces from the start that she will NOT convict a black man, regardless of testimony. It was pretty sickening for those of us who think people will take their responsibilities seriously.

It was like seeing sausage made. A couple of them were truly interesting, but the whole thing made me wish for special judges to sit in deliberations and make sure that kind of stuff doesn't happen (the race thing, jurors ignoring evidence, jurors taking a stand becasue they don't like another juror.....)

It's unreal that people don't take it seriously. This juror was at least dismissed before we hit deliberations because the other juror he made the "putz" comment to reported it to the judge.

Omg my thoughts did you read my mind lol
Same effect here ughhhhhhhh:floorlaugh:

I think it has been reported that "Tri-color" takes a lot of notes. Maybe that's what their honing in on...

 

[MeeBee]

Oh I'm sure he is and he should be. He's just bloviating smoke as usual. I mean the ENTIRE jury would have to be involved in some kind of misconduct to start this shindig all over again. It would have to be catastrophic for that to even be considered.

I think this is all attempting to disarm Martinez. He knows the most devastating part of the entire trial is coming: the rebuttal case. He's posturing.

No mistrial is coming....this Judge is seriously protecting the record. Juror misconduct/prosecutorial misconduct is all he's got to work with as what's happening in the courtroom is flawless to his murderer client.

GAH, I wonder what Nurmi knows.

 

[ElleElle]

The defence called a mistrial??

Is this an April Fool's joke?

 

[katiedid2]

She shouldn't get the cookie.

Lol
According to her jail schedule if I recall! She gets up at six gets breakfast! Than she's transported to jail in the jail van.
She's handcuffed like the criminal that she is in her black and white chain gang couture outfit.

 

[katydid23]

HLN just now reporting: THE DT HAS ASKED FOR A MISTRIAL, because a juror acted innapropriately. Juror #5---she made a biased comment in front of other people---

Nope it's real claims juror misconduct with tricolour juror #5

Ohhhhhh the balck & white chain gang couture outfit? Sounds heavenly.
She still should not get the cookie.

 

[katiedid2]

She shouldn't get the cookie.

They should ask what foods she hates and serve those to her for every meal. Your right no cookies.:floorlaugh:

 

[Dmacky]

Isn't this why there are alternate jurors? Why on earth would dismissing a juror need to result in a mistrial? Put another in his/her place. This will fail, also unless they heard it themselves or from another juror, I doubt this will go anywhere.

Of course this DT is going to try throw everything they have against the mistrial wall and hope something sticks. It wouldn't surprise me if they had moles following the jurors around during breaks just waiting to hear something.

I didn't think they had even announced which 12 would be jurors? I was under the impression there are 18 people who are potenial jurors and alternates. But they don't know yet which ones will be called. Of course I may be wrong.

 

[Plumeria5]

Relieve her of her duty and get on with it!
