I also don't think making a mistake makes one stupid, dumb, incompetent, or corrupt.

RSBM

Agree completely. It's the entirety of the case that does.

 

[DustysMom]

unbelievable......Brennan can go on and on and on about the weight of a dummy arm...and now after an extra day off...she wants to rush the defense because she can see that the jury is fed up.....and then she tells the jury that every effort will be made to rush things along....I have a hard time believing what I am hearing.....

I don’t. I would have a hard time believing ONE single action that was just and fair.

Look what this Court TV Expert Panelist just stated!

"UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

Bev your bias is showing and the world is watching!!!!

Dr Laposata is HOLY QUALIFIED to testify to dog bites!!! It’s disgusting what she is keeping out!!!

That photo of door shows KR could not have seen John poking his head in the door. Door opens outward rather than inward. moo

 

[sunshineray]

Test E was the one going 24mph. The interpretation that it supports the CW's case lacks depth and doesn't actually engage with the underlying data presented by Dr. Wolfe and knowledge of JOK's injuries. This is a very shallow interpretation, IMHO.

I respectfully don't agree with you. Test E very much agrees with Dr Welcher's testimony, which I found extremely compelling and informative, as well as few other prosecution witnesses testimonies. MO

 

[waldojabba]

With WHO, judge Cannone?

She is indicating that they fed up with the case not moving quicker - since they took so much time on the voire dire etc. today and the jury is just hanging around
Everyone has said it - stop with the rushing - this is a muder trial !
It takes the amount of time it takes

I thnk they look fed up - if they do - bc they are sick of listening to Hank. Also there has been no proof of a collision so I tihnk they wonder why are we here ?

JMO

 

[ShadyLady]

I think she said it in regards to wasting their time... like taking long breaks, sidebars, etc.

Or are they upset with her sustained to the objections from the prosecution??

 

[rescuemom]

Ridiculous! This whole trial is a joke.
IMHO

Bev wants this trial over!!!!!! Wasn't Dr L one of the last witnesses to be called?????? Speed up the defense.

 

[keek]

It’s wild to me that she acts like sidebars are not needed. It feels like she doesn’t respect Karen’s constitutional right to a fair and unbiased trial IMO.

Clear, there is the need to find KR guilty without the fair and unbiased behavior all around on the prosecution and herself. Glaring and shocking when it happens as so many times I did not expect it as it was so blatant. IMO

I see issues with points 2.2, 2.5, 2.8 especially (A judge shall be patient, dignified, and courteous to litigants, jurors, witnesses, lawyers, court personnel,* …and shall require similar conduct of lawyers, court personnel,* and others subject to the judge's direction and control), and 2.15. All IMO

 

[Spider92]

Brennan forgot to ask Dr. Wolfe how he got to the courthouse this morning. How can the jury possibly reach a verdict without that key piece of information?

I can't believe she wasn't certified as an expert. This Judge is nuts. I also can't believe she said she could tell the jury is fed up.

 

[Leilei]

Judge Cannone just said you can tell by looking at the jury that they are ‘fed up’

Ya think???

IMO.

RSBM

He was always expecting to do that, and he made that known. It's tactical to respond to the defence case, at the appropriate time, ie - when and if the defence raises it.

We've already seen the defence changing their case from last year.

The prosecution isn't there to prove a case they aren't presenting, like bringing all the house occupants in to ask 'did nothing happen that night?'.

MOO

Wow, imagine adjusting your case after seeing how the first trial played out. Almost like....that's what a retrial is for. Both sides adjust their strategies. If the facts and strategies don't change, what would be the point of doing it over?

MOO

 

[sunshineray]

nothing was snipped out of the feed. During the break, the defense examined the hoodie, after the break, they argued for a mistrial and for instruction to be given to the jury.

Brennan's questioning of Dr Wolfe just abruptly stopped and went to the fan on the Law&Crime Feed. It was instantaneous. The fan shot was on for long minutes and then Attorney Alessi came to the podium about a mistrial. I'm going to go back and look at that spot again in a little while.

Fair enough. People see what they want to see.

yes that was just normal procedure. otherwise Brennan would have to call the same witness twice. so for efficiency reasons he doesn’t have to do that.

Alessi made that motion for the internet. This was different. Brennan made a genuine mistake.

 

[Elliot_Alderson]

Ohhh nevermind...Alessi is having another moment asking for a mistrial, about the holes in the hoodie. I guess it got snipped out of the feed and I'll have to listen to Alessi's outraged voice and try and decide calmly what actually happened.

Numerous posters have posted what happened

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Throughout the entire CW case, all we heard from Judge Cannone was how ahead of schedule they were. But now when the defense is on, she’s suddenly apologizing to the jury for having to be so patient. Oh, and the entire hold up with the medical examiner today is on Hank, who has had Dr. Laposata’s resume and report since MARCH.

Truly wild. MOO
