  1. Ha yeah, just literally came up. They had sent an email out that maintenance would be occurring "all day" that week. Goddammit, no MLK day parade testimony coming in. Can't do NUTTING!
  2. Now here I think it gets closer. Need a reason to get into all these pics other than "LOL look at this whore." Also come on FFS let's get the code name for Sex Cop's cock. I'm installing Nightstick as a +150 favorite.
  3. I think the prosecutor's tone has been about right, given the inconsistencies of the story. It is a fine line, you don't want to make them overcome with sympathy, but I think he's been pretty good thus far. As to the hindsight bias, I think it's one thing to say "oh in retrospect you could have done something else" vs. "if you had just done the specific things that you have been trained on over and over"
  4. Her testimony - I am supposed defer to my training, if I had deferred to my training he would be alive today.
  5. Dunno how you establish the self-defense and mistake of fact defenses without it though.
  6. Yeah, I think they were trying to show why she had fear, but totally agree that it would be MUCH more effective to show sudden startling movement. Not sure if clear, I meant did the state offer her any plea bargain deals that she declined. Yeppppppp, those police protocols will be very relevant.
  7. The argument against mace was can't use in the apartment - she chose to enter the apartment. If your taser is unavailable b/c of bundle of shit, that argument works if your first inclination of intruder is seeing him. Works less good if you noticed the cracked door and heard noises. Hmm, here's an idea, PUT YOUR SHIT DOWN before entering the occupied apartment. Definitely, calling 911 or police radio is the clear option, with the available option of announcing her police presence if desired.
  8. Especially, again, given she wasn't a random CHL holder carrying, but that she also had mace, knife, taser, and the biggest one, police radio. Also neighbors in close proximity. Isn't like seeing your front door cracked in your house where the nearest other person is maybe 50 yards away or something, and couldn't hear yelling.
  9. Especially weird since she was sitting there when that testimony occurred, not like she was excluded under The Rule. Question for 4th and 5 and the other lawdogs - any chance they could look for a "sudden passion" reduction to 2nd degree? Looking at the plain language, it says it only applies if there was provocation from victim or someone with victim. Can that include "perceived" provocation?
  10. She just testified that being alone with the guy she shot is the most terrifying thing you can imagine. Um, I can imagine it's less terrifying than someone coming in your front door screaming and shooting while you are sitting on your couch eating some ice cream and watching football. Defense is now violating the motion in limine, courts love that!!
  11. She "did compressions" with one hand because she was on the phone? Your phone doesn't have speaker option??
  12. Yeah if I was just dropped into this market with no knowledge of the Texas-LSU game I would definitely bet mid-4 figures that Texas had won the game, just based on the prices.
  13. If you were an intruder in someone's apartment, and someone comes in are you going to start yelling?
  14. Agree that she seems much more rehearsed here, and I don't think it helps her AT ALL to say she noticed the cracked door and heard someone. Uh, use your fucking training if you have a chance to act.
  15. Let's get this goddamn show on the road, before I actually have to get some work done.
  16. Yeah market is filthy, and doesn't really seem to be cooling any. Will be interesting to see what it will be like come game time. Got 3 in 131 for $300 ea and was very happy with that. 2008 was comparable as a multiple of face value, but nowhere close on actual dollar cost. In every year past, I rolled my eyes and scrolled right past any $300+ listing, and now the market has me conditioned to "goddamn $300! Lock em up!!"
  17. She started crying before that though, there was an objection to a question, before that she seemed fine, after the objection discussion which wasn't picked up on audio, she was in tears, then it went full on blubbering when she had to stand up and put on the equipment.
  18. It seemed really kind of out of nowhere, but did seem pretty genuine IMO. I dunno if the reality of getting right to the moment of truth came all of a sudden or what. It sounded like the prosecution objected to her putting on the equipment, and she was crying saying just let me do it, but I couldn't hear that part well.
  19. Objection - we are working on a reasonable person standard, not a reasonable woman standard.
