Kurtz wants a mistrial, IMO. He would love that.

But I don't understand what this tiny bit of information is about and how can that hurt anything. Aren't they discussing a past girlfriend?
Or am I totally off?

I have to agree with the defense on this one. I don't think it was done intentionally but I don't think it can be undone. Actually there is a compromise. The defense should be allowed to explain for him exactly what he meant without putting him on the stand.

 

[Palomine]

he is going to come out and ask for a mistrial...its amazing that Brad (crybaby) got lawyer (crybaby) what are the odds?

 

[Wyn]

into the holding cell!

It looked like the deputy was locking them in! :floorlaugh:

 

[NCEast]

no kidding...I have folders named murder, chloroform, deaths

Hahahaha, I needed that laugh!

Holy cow - I am not that bad!!! :silly:

We'd vouch for you, Palomine. hwow:hwow:

WTG, Cummings!!! A strong voice!

He's alive, Igor, he's alive!!!!

 

[otto]

wow..he really wants to win eh!

He's establishing grounds for appeal in the event of a guilty verdict. The fact that the prosecution introduced evidence that should not have been introduced was stupid on their behalf ... imo

Here comes the whining! Seems to me, he wants a do-over.

Shoulda' filed a motion to exclude WAY before trial. MOO

Not whining. I think he's right. And he's GOT to make a big deal of this. The jury cannot unhear that. Making a big deal of it is good legal strategy as well...

MOO

If he gets one, I swear I will die right here in my computer chair.

I don't think it is the GF, I think it is the other shrink. MOO

 

[BeBeBru]

I personally think that the state did this on purpose.

In the deposition he stated that he had tried to contact her a couple of weeks ago. That would have a tendency to make him look pretty bad since his wife was dead less than three months.

I was watching and am not confident what this is all about. In the depo Stubbs asked BC about a girlfriend from back in 92-93 (I believe). He mentioned he tried to contact her three weeks ago, to no avail. Then all heck broke loose.

 

[TigerBalm]

must be coming up on the fiancée lie

It's the part where he speaks about trying to contact Taylene Lyon for character reference for Dr. Gould (sp?).


Maybe because he paid the doctor $12,000 to evaluate him for the custody case to say he was fine. Who the heck knows. lol

I missed the argument this morning, so I don't know what exactly is going on, except that judge ruled it shouldn't come in.

I REALLY wish WRAL would show the arguments without the jury present on line, for those of use that missed them earlier!! :banghead:

ETA: just checked WRAL, they have the argument on the site now :great:

Exactly. That's what I was trying to say. You said it faster and better.

ETA, He wouldn't have gotten it excluded, but the CD would be perfect for today...again...MO

Do they give mulligans at the Superior Court? News to me!!!

But what was the evidence? A past girlfriend from ages ago? That's what I thought I was listening to when the fireworks began.
