Something or things are riding on this going the way he wants and needs it to. Horrific. IMO

Who is MM?

Can Judge Cannone look any more disgusted and angry? Judge you really should have recused yourself from this second trial. If you couldn't stand the heat, you should have left the kitchen! MOO

She has a JOB to do...she is going to take all that credit she wanted for whatever her nefarious reasons from the beginning when refused to recuse herself when advised due to personal connections to the party house people. Unfortunately that was not made mandatory as we see what happens when someone has a JOB to do. IMO

DBM - wrong answer!

Who is MM?

Michael Morrissey, the NORFOLK COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY. WELL connected with the judge and the house party people. FBI investigation on his office, he is well aware for a while. IMO

This is the first trial I have ever followed to this extent. I just can't believe what I am seeing. I didn't know changes can be made as the trial goes. Shouldn't all of this be decided before trial begins? Also, I have never seen the experts get challenged as we are seeing here. So the defense experts are not "experts" enough but the CW's was??? One guy didn't even have a degree that he stated he had. There are sooooo many things that an appeal is inevitable.

DBM - wrong answer!

Him too! You can be correct!

As a hockey fan it's interesting they called in ARRCA after the Chara Pacioretty incident to change the glass

I think it distinguishes them from other 'consulting' companies. It is not just criminal/civil cases, not just insurance companies that employ them.

He has been with ARCCA for over 17 years.

I have been thinking more about this hoodie business & I’m baffled by it. I already remarked on the defence team being asleep when Brennan was referring to holes in the back & using them to undermine the defence expert.

The hoodie is a key piece of evidence. It all but settles the question whether the arm injuries were made by a dog or shards of tail light. It’s central. How, even if coming late onto one or other team, can you not know it had no holes or tears in the back resulting from the incident?

I was a litigation solicitor so my job was to instruct barristers for trial. I cannot imagine:

a) not knowing something like this
b) not instructing counsel fully about it
c) allowing counsel to embark on a line of questioning at variance with basic & important facts.

This is doubly true when acting for the prosecution in a criminal case given the high burden that exists to ensure the defendant is fairly tried.

I know Americans don’t have two legal professions but that’s irrelevant. The roles still exist regardless what names the lawyers are given. Preparation & advocacy. And prep is 9/10ths of the case. The lawyers sitting alongside Brennan have something like the solicitor’s role. They will have done the spadework. Unless incompetent, they cannot not know something like this. Moreover, it’s very hard to imagine Brennan going off on this line of questioning without prior discussion. Why did no one set him straight?

I continue to give him the benefit of the doubt because no one would be so knowingly crass in his position. And, as luck would have it, the defence was fast asleep! The whole thing beggars belief.

Rant over, it’s history (unless they convict).

I know! I didn’t realize they were the ones that improved the stantions.

I'm not sure if it's the commentary on the jury or the jurors' reactions but there is something unsettling about these type of posts..

I 100% agree with you on that. Shows a good diversity of clientele

Thanks for your perspective! I'm curious if you have watched all the trial?

Brennan has asked questions, as if they were fact, when they are not, or have not been introduced into evidence at all. I didn't know much about Brennan pre-trial, apparently he did this a lot even in pre-trial hearings.

I tried giving him and the judge the benefit of the doubt... I am over it now lol

All JMO and I am not a lawyer

I think it is great! It is really hard to find reporters that just report what they see though. Some that are there are clearly on one side of the fence or the other IMO
