Yep. Still amazed she is alive.
Yep.
Man I guess I’m lucky cause we had the rectangle, square and hexagon pizza lol. The rectangle was the Mexican fiesta stuff if I remember right. I dunno if that stuff really tasted good or if the other stuff was just so bad that the pizza seemed good lol! But that peanut butter shit was the bomb!
You ever seen someone's vein pop out of his forehead through a one way mirror? I didn't think so.
They're not that good, but you make them sound like they're dysfunctional or something. They're far better than most felony defendants have.
That defense team's primary purpose is to vehemently fight for their client against a powerful state and keep their client out of prison. They were handed a gift by the prosecution, in the form of stepping on their client's Constitutional rights during trial, several times, prompting event the judge to loudly castigate the prosecution, due to the egregious offense, despite them having significant trial experience. And it was a pattern of offenses, throughout the trial, with a Brady violation, disregarding judge rulings, disregarding well-established Constitutional law, and they were admonished so many times during trial, that the judge did accept the basis for a mistrial with prejudice, due to those facts.
Well in my defense, I can’t see that mirror or no mirror, from the distance of a jury box, unless it’s a really large vein!
Nah, they sent them to Iceland for a week or two. Local gov thought it was unfair that we were paying all these Mexican criminals half a mil while these people were on this case and fearing for their lives. So they decided to send them and their families to Iceland for a week for calm reflection in nature.
I don't really think the prosecutors have the kind of trial experience they ought to have to be trying a case like this. I certainly wouldn't want to be trying any homicide after only 13 trials, much less a high profile one with a meritorious defense. I did more than that in my first year or two as a lawyer. It doesn't matter anyway because the defendant has the same constitutional rights regardless of the trial experience of the prosecutors, but certainly the judge is going to give experienced lawyers far less leeway.
People in this thread aren't giving the proper respect to the JURY who are the ultimate safeguard against government overreach. Even if this jury hangs, the fact that the honest conviction of even one citizen on that jury can prevent an injustice from happening is something we should respect and admire, not scorn. No other country, not even England where we got the idea for jury trials, still allows their citizens to decide serious issues like this. We are unique in the world in affording those kinds of protections for those charged with crimes here.
Where did I mention beating the table or theatrics? My words included with respect to the judge; they should be strenuously making the case and they are not doing any such thing. They have the grounds and should be zealously pursuing. They are not and that is a massive disservice.
"Judges aren't like juries. They're not going to be persuaded by theatrics."
That doesn’t exactly narrow things down much…….
