State v Bradley Cooper 04-20-2011

[snowshuze]

I think the the pros voir dire shook him up a little, but has ultimately served a purpose of settling his nerves and bolstering his confidence - so it actually helped the defense.

For those of you waiting with bated breath for cross, keep in mind the jury likes this guy. Pros will have to tread lightly on the character side of things and stick to the testimony/professional angle to be effective.

I need evidence the jury "likes this guy".

GMT -4 That is Greenwich Mean Time - 4 hours

That still seems incorrect. Eastern time is GMT -5 hours.

Good Morning Everyone!

This is a WARNING. This case caused a lot of work for the mods yesterday and it is getting off to a really heavy start this morning. That is not a good thing.

You all know the rules and you should be following them. Here are some tips pulled together by our WSADMIN for dealing with fellow posters:

Any time a group of people get together there are bound to be disagreements. This forum is no exception. We are in no position to tell you what to think of ideas you see expressed here, but in our Terms of Service we do lay out the rules about how you can post here.

If you find that there is a fellow poster whose thoughts you find you are unable to even read without losing your composure, your "Ignore List" is your friend. When you put a poster on this list, the following will happen:

• You will not see their posts;
• They will not be able to send you PMs;
• They will not be able to send you email vial the Board links;
• They will not be able to leave you visitor messages.

By all means if someone is violating the TOS use the little red triangle to send us an alert. But if you are thinking of sending the staff a PM or email because a certain poster:

• Will not answer your questions;
• Will not back up their opinions to your satisfaction;
• Will not change their mind no matter how obvious things are to everyone else.

Please, consider adding them to your ignore list.

NOTE: Do NOT post a message in the thread saying you are doing so, that's a TOS violation by you. Put them on the list and be happy.

Please pay attention to this post. I don't want to see the number of alerts today that I saw yesterday. That just wouldn't be good.

Thanks,

Salem

I am trusting poster johnfear's personal report from the proceeding yesterday . He seems pretty unbiased and spot on with his reports.

The hot cross buns baked at the HT are pretty good. Better than the Entemann ones, which my HT's also carry.

You are most definitely correct. They love him, he is sincere, down to earth, a newbie for courtroom, and he comes across as very honest. And don't think the jury won't remember if the other side attacks with gusto.

And for the record, I am not pro BC. I do like to see an even playing field in the courtroom and believe in giving everyone a chance to produce a valid case. I actually think there are a lot of us here even though we may look like BC supporters. Please try to be civil in our responses to posters. If you do not agree, just move along. And in addition, thank all of you computer experts who have been so kind as to offer explanations regarding this technical info.

No offense to JF, but I can't imagine where he would get the impression that the jury "likes this guy". Perhaps he can tell us?

 

[jrb0124]

Now there's a break in the action....I'd like to ask if their is legal recourse for the internet smear campaign of Nancy and her dear friends (or continued abuse by "the brad's" 20 pairs of busy typing hands ( IM horrified O) on the newspaper, TV, and message boards. I don't know anyone on either side of the case, and I am horrified by what I saw in writing. As a concerned member of the community.:twocents:, I would like to know because I think it abusive, maybe even criminal....and I am hoping there is recourse.

If you are serious, I would recommend you actually speak to an attorney about this.

So where was BC at that time if not home??????

During that time the computer was in the hands of the CPD.

I think yesterday they were so glad to be let out of the holding room they would have liked sirhan sirhan. They just wanted to get back to the trial and do what the heck they were called there to do.

I had the same feeling when the defense was attacking Det. Daniels.

His ego took a bit hit when 1/2 the country found out yesterday he was not a qualified expert. You are right, big change in his demeanor.

I also think he may have a little inkling of whatever the pros found out about him, and it's likely to be a little more embarrassing than yesterday - if it's allowed to be used for impeachment.

I'd like to know if Brad was logged into his Cisco VPN during this time. I have to think that he would be - mostly because of his high level of dedication as well as his early morning checking of work voicemail.

If this is the case, would not the computer have had a much higher level of security?

A picture is worth a thousand words.

He didn't have his work laptop. He couldn't have been.

The VPN provides a secure tunnel between the computer and the Cisco network, it doesn't provide additional security on the local area network nor the computer itself.

 

[jrb0124]

pros doing all it can to keep out this testimony, Kurtz keeps trying different doors - one of them will open.

 

[Danielle59]

Who said there is bias by the DA in this case?
Just because Kurtz said it's so, doesn't mean it's true.

Why don't you tell us since you seem to think that it was said by someone, I know my comment didn't imply that. I made a general statement about DA offices.

It would be very interesting to see if there were a legal recourse. I did file a complaint with another board and was told all there posts were monitored and approved which I found very unsettlin given the contents. You can see how much traffic we are getting, so thousands of people are reading and not posting. The recourse may not be towards specific individuals, but the monitoring of boards, and whether they are allowing this to happen to boost their traffic...Very unethical. Maybe someone with knowledge of the law could speak to that...

Good, then you know what that feeling is like. It can play on both sides of the fence.
