What does this mean?

The seating arrangement changed at the defense table.

Wow, what bs. So now we got BH in the garage w/dog. Such bs. So many falsehoods by Jackson.
He's confusing the jurors. So I guess by lying it doesnt matter, anything to free the client. jmo

If he was lying, Judge Bev would shut Jackson down.

Opening statements, which are not testimony or evidence, are irrelevant here. We've seen the car data report, used by the CW and defense. She was in neutral for less than half a second. She didn't wait

Great closing by Jackson!

Brennan up. My blood pressure is going to go sky high, I just know it. lol

AJ: All you need to know is that the CW failed. They failed to provide you with a truthful representation. They failed to prove the essence of their case, that John was hit to begin with.

They failed to prove any intent on the part of Karen read, because she has none.

They failed to investigate the true suspects in this case. They failed to present the lead investigator to you.

They failed to justify the perjured testimony you heard discussed in this case. They failed to hold accountable an officer who came in here and lied to you, claiming false memories.

oohh..
deep breaths , needed here.

 

[LaineyJ]

Not sure if I can listen to HB spew his crap for an hour straight

 

[Snoods]

AJ is done. I don’t know whether to stand up and clap or smoke a cigarette.

So let me get this straight, when the Commonwealth strings together guesses, speculation, and “maybe this happened” for two years, it’s gospel. But when the defense lays out an alternate timeline based on their own evidence, witness testimony, and reasonable doubt, it’s suddenly “lies” and “confusing the jury”?

That’s literally what defense attorneys are supposed to do in a criminal trial. Challenge the narrative, expose contradictions, and show the jury that the prosecution hasn’t proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt. If you’re mad the jury is confused, maybe ask why the state didn’t give them a clean, consistent story with actual evidence.

MOO

Now we listen to the attorney that tried to hide the existence of the x rays and slip in the altered hoodie. Speak about liars. JMOO

Jackson did the finest closing statement I've ever seen. Big kudos to him and his argument.

 

[kuromiiiilove]

I agree with you there, Hank - John was a good person. He does deserve justice.

Where we seem to diverge is what ‘justice’ for John entails.

 

[Soulmagent]

This guy ..
She did not hit him.

Both? lol

This is the lamest stuff ever. Purely subjective emotional junk.

I don't think they even needed a narrative ... the science and medical evidence speaks for itself. IMO

 

[jepop]

ahhh she's a whackjob c***... yep Jackson said it!

You should have heard him with Proctor last trial! He didn't shy away from exposing the dark misogyny driving Proctor. No sugar coating for that jury and none for this one. Jackson is an incredible lawyer and orator but imo he also displays courage in spades.

There was absolutely nothing confusing about that close. And it was all based on real testimony.
