  1. Reports on twitter say the jury is seeking clarification on the castle doctrine and manslaughter.
  2. The livestream is focused on the Jury Call light outside of the jury room. That light will turn on when the jury reaches a decision or has a question. It’s kind of like waiting for the smoke to come out of the chimney at the Vatican.
  3. This guy is giving the strongest closing and hitting all the necessary notes for a finding of guilty.
  4. It’s like they didn’t coordinate at all. Or they both have egos too big to not tell the story themselves.
  5. Why is Rogers repeating the same stuff as the other defense attorney?
  6. His faux exasperation is pretty tiring. Some of the jury is going to be leaning to her side, can’t be too flippant and offend their intelligence.
  7. The defense’s reconstructionist was excluded. For expert testimony to be admissible, the expert’s specialized knowledge must assist a layperson (i.e. a juror) in determining a fact issue. The court determined that some of the subject matter the expert was going to testify about did not require an expert explanation; that is, the jurors could understand the issue without the assistance of the expert. Expert testimony must also be based on sufficient facts and data. The court determined that the remaining portion of the expert’s testimony was too arbitrary and hypothetical to be admissible.
  8. This is unbelievably stupid. You could draw a line from almost anywhere in that apartment to the hole in the wall that may have struck Jean.
  9. Defense counsel is not doing well in explaining why he needs this expert.
  10. It’s Friday afternoon after a week of testimony. Plus the most exciting witness testified this morning. The jury isn’t listening anymore. The defense is just waiting for recess so they can build up their defense through experts tomorrow when the jury is fresh again.
  11. Unless they say “I walked into an apartment with with a doormat, even though mine didn’t have one, and a cracked open door, behind which I could hear a person walking around,” it doesn’t seem like it should move the needle.
  12. Black finger nail polish from the female defense attorney seems...aggressive.
  13. Here’s a more credible source on the Armstrong accident. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.expressnews.com/news/politics/texas_legislature/amp/Lawsuit-spotlights-misconduct-of-Texas-Rangers-13671011.php
  14. Defense should have talked about training and her decision on direct. They should have known this was coming.
  15. It wasn’t just that the door was cracked. She said she heard someone walking around and made the decision to put herself in a situation where she would have to shoot him.
  16. Being alone with a man you just shot is the scariest thing you can imagine? What about eating some ice cream at home when someone walks in and immediately shoots you.
  17. She heard someone walking around inside before she tried to open the door. Why would you open the door to your apartment if you heard someone inside.
