So where are we with the trial so far?
Baez is throwing lots of punches and he has landed a few. However, the State is doing a great job on their redirects. They have been able to shoot down some of the most important points that Baez has been trying to make, in order to set up for their 'fantasy' defense case.
They really want the jury to believe that the Boston cops set up Hernandez and went after him because he is a celebrity. And he really wanted to show that the detectives didn't do much investigating, they just went after poor Aaron, because they felt like it.
And Baez REALLY needs to convince the jury that the witnesses in the shot up car, were actually violent gang members, in a gang war with Bradley.
So far, I don't think Baez has been able to do that. I know, he has not put on his case yet. But the accusations he is putting forward against Cummings have been falling flat. Cummings was able to discuss the gang files, and what he did to research these witnesses. And they have no criminal histories and they are not mentioned in the gang surveillance unit files.
ALSO, this judge is cutting Baez off at the knees....:judge:
Judge Locke does not allow Baez to just make up stuff on the fly--like he often does. :denied: :denied:
