Thank you thank you thank you - I was just going to go try to grab a screen shot

What exactly did that Judge's admonishment to disregard what the State said about ME and murder trials do?

Judge tells jury to disregard prosecution statement of medical examiners during closing. @fox13now #MartinMacNeill #MacNeilltrial

Sidebar... judge shaking his head at state's attorney. Did anyone else see that?

Wow- you are really paying attention! That is probably about the misstatement the pros made.

 

[bsk]

Good catch by Spencer or more likely the judge. (Unfortunately.)

THANKS. This is a more convincing timeline than the one presented by Spencer , IMO

 

[minor4th]

Probably for going so much over his time....OR possibly for not "thanking" the jury in the usual way (for your time, careful consideration of facts & evidence, blah blah blah).

He also referred to the defendant as "Martin" which is kind of a no, no

I could just cry right now. I hope Justice is served lease:

:grouphug:

Keeping the faith.

The defense whined about it, the judge had to bring it up to preserve a court record for any appeals that might be coming.......

 

[CUCKOOHEAD]

But by golly the defense told the jurors they would have their charts that they used in closing to take back to the jury room for deliberations as "evidence". So then did defense lie outright or were they saying the evidence that went with their charts and they weren't clear on what exactly the jury got to take back with them?

But this Judge did not see fit to correct this to the jury did he?

Spenser was referring to the actual document that was blown up on his giant pad. That document is in evidence and they will be able to view it.

 

[minor4th]

Ahhh that's why the head shaking and sidebar.

Why is that?

 

[turaj]

don't they keep the alternates in case one of these jurors gets sick or run over by a car???

 

[bsk]

Don't you need to keep the alternates during deliberation in case something happens to one of the jurors?

 

[Softail]

OMG! I hear a phone or something going off in the courtroom! :doh:

Verdict Watch!!

Lol I just happened to switch back to the WAT window just in time.

Okay, though I would like a quick verdict, I'd rather have one that is well thought out and well discussed. Look at the evidence, ask questions, take your time.

And common sense, above all, common sense.

No, they are released when deliberations begin. I think you have a good idea though.

So now the jury is made up of 5 men, and 3 women. @fox13now #MartinMacNeill #MacNeilltrial

Heard that phone go off, hoped Judge would go Ape**** again.
No such luck.
