Dismissed for the day. Jury will show up a half hour later than normal tomorrow, but it’s still a ‘full day’.

Numerous posters have posted what happened

And there was a prolonged discussion between the judge and defense as well, lol. It really happened.

Just watched the hoodie display and questions. It seems the defense didn't even realize Brennan was wrong. They said nothing at the time it happened. Brennan sat down and Jackson began re-direct about Dr Whelcher using a 50% dummy, the force calculations on the hybrid arm, then the shard pieces size, the "tin" with the shards and not one question about the hoodie. Then a sidbar, then Brennan re-cross we're back to questions about velocity, another sidebar. How long did it take for the defense to realize Brennan misspoke about the hoodie tears?

I don't know how long it took them to realize Hank lied. Maybe it even shocked them how low the dirty,mob lawyer would sink.

I did not go to dog bite university. However, sadly, I witnessed our family dog bite my husband. IMO the resulting injury caused by that attack looked just like JOK's arm. Regrettably, the defense is not being allowed to address the potential for JOK's arm injury being due to a dog bite. It is clear Laposata would be qualified to clarify the cause of the arm injuries.

1000% qualified

Judge Cannone seems tired and out of it, not keeping up with what the defense is saying, IMO

I think KR realized it first. She had dates for Alessi and exhibit pics on her laptop.

 

[sunshineray]

I’m wondering when you decided KR was guilty? I find it so interesting that you and I are watching the same trial and our opinions are diametrically opposed. Imo

After seeing the prosecution's direct evidence. Especially helpful was the evidence given by Dr Welcher. JO was never in the house. His cell phone synced with the Lexus clock proves that as well as backs up the physical evidence of shards, tail light and glass, found around, under and on JO's clothing, the straw, the shoe and yes the injuries to JO. The defense witnesses, expert and regular, testimonies falling apart under cross just cemented it. Also I cannot overstate just how important KR's own words, her outright lies and then her change of story after being arrested have been in the complete picture too. AJMO

 

[sunshineray]

I’m sure this would be the feeling if a relative was on trial for their life JMO

A whole lot of extremes, yes.

Nah. It's overwhelmingly obvious that Michael Proctor planted the physical evidence.

The Honorable Judge Cannone really does not appear to have the right temperament for this gig IMO

I see the whole thing in a much different light. I understand why the defense wants to almost hysterically bloviate every thing they possible can, their case is not going well. AJMO

It's going well enough that they don't have to lie about evidence like brennan does. JMOO

 

[keek]

Judge insisting on blaming atty's of defense for holding up jurors who apparently are fed up per judge. ASK them, though not possible at this time. They are there to understand and hear all the evidence of truth, they HAVE to know how incredibly important this trial is for KR, no matter. Projecting going on and speaking for them is not acceptable in a fair trial. THEY will see and hear all of this once trial is over to confirm their thoughts one way or another and would love to see what they say out loud. IMO

 

[Anniesflowers]

No, he decided to call Brennan out on his attempted deception, as he should. He is fighting for his clients life against a sneaky CW and a biased judge. He's doing his job, and is doing it very well.
What Brennan did was an affront to KR's right to have a fair trial.
If I or one of my loved ones are ever in the position to need an attorney, I would want an Alessi, a Jackson, or a Yanetti, not a failed mob attorney who plays fast and loose with the rules.
IMO JMO and all that jazz.

…and doing it pro bono…that says a lot to me about how he really feels about her guilt/innocence. Imo

Yes, that is exactly what Matt McCabe instructed everyone to say which is definitely a normal thing to have to instruct people about in a murder case

 

[sunshineray]

So do you think the defense will subpoena him and ask him about that? They'll have to right?
