Good Morning -- The entrance of the jury sounds like horses coming into the stables -- the mike must be on the floor where they walk -- it's kinda cute -- blam, slam, bang, bank, shuffle, open, close, bump, bump, shake, rattle & roll.

Justice for Mahato today!!

Please let this jury be an intelligent one!!! Please.

Hugs to my (((Sleuth Peeps))) all around!

The more I think about some of those [imo, disingenuous] remarks Shields made yesterday, the more I would like to see some action taken if this thing derails. It just makes me madder than a Hatter. Grrrrrrr. She should be ashamed of herself, IMO -- she was fighting the good fight for a while, and I was okay with that, but then she turned left, and went down a crooked road.

 

[Jewels53]

Why are we off camera? Is someone on the jury late again?

 

[borndem]

Yeah, what's the holdup -- maybe that's what happened -- maybe only 11 jurors walked in, and so they had to go back out???? There was the first "tromp, tromp, tromp," and then another "tromp, tromp, tromp." Maybe they were marched back out.

Twiddle, twiddle, twiddle -- the sound of my thumbs.

 

[Jewels53]

I didn't hear the Judge say anything to the juror's. Last I heard was him asking if the juror's were here yet, then waiting.

Now the video says court in recess, unlike yesterday saying jury deliberating. hmmmm

I know it's uncommon for objections during closing arguments, but I was waiting for the State to object. I'm obviously not a lawyer, but felt it was warranted, and needed, at at least one point. Now the jurors are confused, as though all the linkages covered during the trial (Carson, Mahato, "the Hispanic guy", the various guns and crimes, multiple trials and interviews) weren't confusing enough. These peeps heard this stuff one time, and it has to be confusing to them. Then BS brings in extraneous, unsupported bull**** to add to the confusion.

I was going "huh???" myself. Raising reasonable doubt is one thing; bringing in bull**** to raise unreasonable doubt is another. It probably wouldn't have mattered since bells can't be un-rung, but I wish the state had objected.

BS certainly played the "going last" card to the hilt. Great strategy for a defense attorney to attempt to get murderer off; bad strategy for truth and real justice.

That said, I still have faith. Crossing fingers that they all have sense and can see through the manipulation.
