  1. As a left-handed shooter, I'm extremely pissed now. There are definitely left-handed guns.
  2. His testimony is hocus pocus and his picture is out of focus.
  3. The prosecution didn't understand the law that they were charging. In their defense, it's not well written.
  4. Google just pushed me from AP: This for something he cannot possibly be guilty of.
  5. Imo, it would be worse for the prosecution to give the jury a charge that cannot convict on as a matter of law. You don't want the first thing discussed in deliberation why a charge would even be brought that clearly shouldn't have been.
  6. Judge dismisses gun possession charge after prosecution admits there's no evidence to support the charge.
  7. Diaz has been good everywhere except the 1.2 years that he was running what Akina/Mack wanted him to. In the 6 years after we fired him: he had 5 top 15 defenses, 4 Broyles nominations, a Broyles finalist, multiple HC offers, and became the head coach for his home town team. Diaz is one of the best DCs we've ever ruined. Full stop.
  8. Kansas' 3rd string QB weighing about 150 lbs broke 3 tackles to score a TD. It's clearly the players.
  9. Especially a proprietary one. I wasn't expecting the guy to know "this pixel is going to sample 25% from the NW corner..." but have a rudimentary understanding of how it works. At least know enough to not mislead on the stand. But especially know why you choose the method that you did even if it's a personal opinion that it looked clearer or more like the authentic. He spent 20 hours on two photos, used different interpolation methods for each, and had zero explanation for what he was doing. They didn't have time. This was the last witness on the last day of testimony.
  10. Well, yeah. It was an example. The person on stand doing that in this case said he didn't compare it to the original and wasn't aware how he had manipulated the evidence or even why he chose the interpolation methods that he did. It was an easy rejection, but the judge has been consistently lenient all trial. I don't really have an issue with him accepting it because that has been his MO all trial. I'm more mad that the prosecutor was lying to the judge to get it admitted.
  11. Lol. How do you get evidence admitted without a witness to attest to the authenticity? Even an investigative photographer has to testify that they took the photos and that they are of the crime scene and they were taken at so-and-so date. Hard to believe you have 25+ years under your belt and don't have a laymen's understanding of evidence. The judge's issue was whether they were a faithful recreation of the original video, which the state (understandably in some regards) couldn't attest to very firmly. So much so that the they spent another 30 minutes today reviewing it again.
  12. Incorrect, but whatever. The debate was about the degree to which the state can manipulate photos and still enter them into evidence. The altered image has to be authentic to the original and usually an expert witness would attest to it. Contrast the video editing done by the defense's expert to the prosecution from yesterday. The expert was able to accurately describe how and why he does what he does and how this evidence should be treated by the jury, including it's limitations. The state's witness couldn't even say how he altered the image and testified that he did not compare it to the original.
  13. They didn't even charge him for illegal carry, which he has now testified in court that he did knowingly.
  14. There isn't a manslaughter charge in Wisconsin, but the closest thing to it is 2nd degree reckless homicide which wasn't included (I believe) in any charge. I tried to follow as close as possible, but it's not easy when they are using numerical codes for the charges and I'm trying to just use context from the arguments.
  15. Too late now to edit: The judge is only issuing the relevant instruction on gun possession - defendant under 17 or in possession of something other than a shotgun or rifle (Exception/requirements for hunting do not apply).
  16. Prosecution shooting themselves in the foot on gun charge. They had mischaracterized the law in pretrial to get it included and I guess they just ran with that interpretation. Sounds like it will be dismissed later but there's no motion for it in front of the judge unless he does it sua sponte. To be fair, he isn't guilty of it anyway and would easily win an appeal.
  17. Judge did not accept inclusion of lesser-included charges on the Rosenbaum charge or Jump Kick Man charge. Allowing it for McGinnis. 2nd Reckless against Huber tossed for the same reasons as above. Other lessers included. No lessers on Grosskreutz(sp?) accepted. For some of these the judge said he is still considering.
  18. Since you didn't watch, the judge took a moment before any proceedings to ask all veterans to stand and be recognized. The same thing happened in thousands of courtrooms yesterday.
  19. The state's photo enhancement expert witness doesn't know how the sampling algorithms work....
  20. Binger's objection to the labelling of events is reasonable, but the time to raise it was pretrial or at least before the hearing. I'm not sure if this works different in criminal law (I assume it does not because Daniels made a point to mention that the prosecution drafted it), but typically you don't get to interpret a document that you draft. A non-drafting party's reasonable interpretation can be considered. Of course, the judge's understanding of the conversation and order is ultimate, but Binger doesn't even really get to say what he meant by it. It's this way because he would have wrote what he meant if he meant it at the time. He can't weasel in a point that was left unclear by his own fault.
  21. It's not even a conspiracy. Most high-profile cases now have a separate lawyer team working media and PR. They also make irrelevant filings just so the media can publish it.
  22. I thought the case for self-defense was strong going in just based on the videos. I thought the DA was bumbling the case early. But it's clear at this point that he's doing the best that he can and there wasn't much of a case to begin with. He's poking at the third rail now, but he's desperate to get anything in front of the jury.
  23. A reasonable person is not provoked by either. The standard is always a reasonable person, an arsonist being mad that you put out his fire is not provocation in the legal sense.
  24. That went way better for the defense than expected. I still think it's a bad idea to put him up there.
