GUILTY TX - Bimal Patel, 29, burned alive, Austin, 17 April 2012

I am okay was little stunned at first and just layed there a minute and composed myself. I hit my head on the cabinets on the bottom not the counter top. I checked my head no bleeding or bump, then realized my hand was bleeding. Got up slowly and got a band aid for my hand.

On the good side my low back had been hurting for a couple of days and it quit hurting. I have a low bad back anyway.

Thanks for asking Nymeria and Softail

Your hand was bleeding? Oh my, hope it's just a scrape but Nymeria is right, be extra careful and if you feel anything odd make sure you call someone.

I like that they have the stream on outside the courtroom, maybe we'll get to see when they have the verdict announcement. Not much beats the 'Deliberation' and then 'Verdict' signs in the Raleigh, NC courtroom though, that was great.

Sound is on and Shannon Murray is practicing for live shot.

I am only 60 but for some reason my skin is very thin on my arms and hands and it doesn't taken much to scrape it and bleed.

Oh, okay, I was worried you might have had a knife in your hand since you banged your head on a cabinet.

Are we going to start seeing more trials from TX? How will we find out about them being live streamed?

I have no idea, I was totally surprised by these past two, first I've ever heard of being streamed from here.

I hope so. This is the 2nd one in two weeks that are local for me, and I have been interested in. I like seeing that they are starting to stream more and more. I know there are several cases around here that are murders, some involving children that I am interested in, and will watch for. We usually get news of trials going on in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio. I haven't seen many streamed from those cities, but maybe we will start to. I'll keep my eyes open and start threads as they come up.

The BD trial really got to me. It was just such a senseless murder. I still remember when it happened, and it just breaks my heart. I keep thinking one of these days I'm gonna wake up and hear that the coward managed to kill himself.

 

[Nymeria]

This is getting to be a Friday night thing, verdict watching.
Last week it was Brandon Daniel, Zimmerman was a Friday night too wasn't it?
And Martin McNeill also, IIRC.

 

[Nymeria]

Just to be sure I have the right thing going here, is the live stream showing a view of the city from a rooftop?
I have WAT stream on, want to make sure it's OK.

KVUE is outside the courtroom, the reporter is practicing her live spots now.

[Softail]

I have KVUE up. Shannon Murray is still practicing for her live shot, and there is sound. From what she is saying, they did not go for the DP. :waitasec: Where is Mr. Cobb??? WTF? She deserves the DP! :gavel:

[Nymeria]

All I show is TVU network logo :dunno:

 

[geevee]

Yeah, they went to the logo 15-20 minutes ago maybe? Hopefully they'll come back with a pic, if not a verdict, soon.
