Did the judge just say, "Give me some space here please" and wave her arms at Little and Read just at the end of the sidebah?

I didn’t hear that but at one point it went back to the fan and I heard someone say Are you ok? Then I heard Bev say I’m ok - not sure what I missed

Yes. I saw it. That’s when I bailed.
She does not want anyone to look too closely?
Is she getting ready to slip the fake balls into the rototiller that Jameson Jim is ready to spin to select the 12 jurors?
I sure hope this is over for Karen and her family. The level of hell they have been dragged through by this crazy set up pains my heart.
If there is a not guilty verdict
I feel like it’s time to queue up the duck boats here in boston !!!!!

If the jurors take a vote and all are NG on all counts, must they deliberate further ?

It happened immediately before this, just after all the lawyers walked away and Karen and Elizabeth were still standing there beside the judge. I'll try to find the time.

Of course 30min lunch ended up being an hour. I don’t think they have ever came back from lunch when they are supposed to this whole trial.

Although so much of what the Judge is concerned about is break taking and time management….

Nope

Brilliant.

Someone in the last couple of days wrote one of these ditties and suggested other contributions….I’ll suggest again in the event that their’s became buried. We know how creative this lot can be!

I had meetings all morning, but of course peeked in to here to see what was going on. Thank you all so much for the updates!

Looks like the jury hasn’t been dismissed for deliberations yet…..

Judge Cannone: Ms. Read has the absolute right not to testify. It is NOT up to the defendant to prove that she is innocent.

Nope, Judge Cannone is still reading instruction.

Counter "coop"- wth???

Is that what Hank was rhapsodizing about ?
I don’t know the context but I assume
He means Coup-contrecoup. Brain injuries.
Dr L or Dr Russell testified about that type of injury in relation to John.

Yeah, about an hour. And lunch turned out to be an hour as well.

 

[MerlinFalcon]

Just think. We (hopefully) won’t hear HB speak again after today!

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Wow. They seriously overcharged, IMO
