Trial Discussion Thread #51 - 14.11.9, Day 41 ~announcement of the verdict~

[Val1]

Dear Lord, is she going to let him walk??

 

[minor4th]

Burger and Johnson adamant about what they thought they heard but they were mistaken - not dishonest.

 

[G.bng]

So honorable Masipa. She gives, "una de cal y otra de arena" (don't know how to say it in English) so as to be as fair as possible between prosecution, defence, witnesses and experts.

The case will be judged by the timeline as I thought.

 

[LaLaw2000]

Oh, no. I have a feeling of deep dread that Judge Masipa will find OP not guilty.

 

[KarenUK]

Oh. I have a horrible feeling she's going to say the woman screaming has to have been Oscar......

 

[zwiebel]

J: It's easy to see why witnesses wld be mistaken...the distance...

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Dear Lord, is she going to let him walk??

Yes, I think so.

 

[minor4th]

Rejects Burger and Johnson evidence entirely? Is that what she said?

 

[katydid23]

oh oh........

 

[Sherbert]

Oh dear. This doesn't sound good for the State.

 

[kaydono]

Omg...

 

[zwiebel]

Judge says there are very good reason to exercise caution when considering evidenceof witnesses, given factors such as distance, interpretation etc.

 

[G.bng]

J: Issues...whether there was premeditation...

or intention.

 

[sleuth-d-]

is she saying burger's bang... bang, bang, bang were the cricket bat??

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Rejects Burger and Johnson evidence entirely? Is that what she said?

Yes, entirely.

 

[katydid23]

I might have to go to bed...this is going to be a big let down....fftobed:

 

[fruity]

Oh, no. I have a feeling of deep dread that Judge Masipa will find OP not guilty.

I've thought it all along

 

[kaydono]

She keeps contradicting herself.

 

[minor4th]

Yes..

 

[Jim Kirk]
