**The problem is that the judge will not allow the defense to even hint that Damon, or anyone in the house that night had anything to do with Danielle's death. **
But why would the judge not allow it if there's a reason to believe they *may* have had something to do with this case? Just doesn't make sense.
I think the judge has made some very bad judgment calls. Taking a vacation in the middle of the trial--limiting the defense evidence--not sequestering the jury--any one care to add?
