NOTICE: the defense did not deny all the child porn. Just questioned SOME of the ages. The bottom line will be what the jury saw and heard. What made them cry?

Whether it makes them cry or not, it may not be a crime.

WHAT trial have you been watching? Feldy challenged the jury to look at all the "child porn", which means he doesn't think it IS child porn.

[NatureGirl]

The jury didn't cry. The alternates (two of 'em) did. To me, that would instantly make them unacceptable as jurors - too sensitive, when inner strength is called for. If they found that so upsetting how could they be trusted to not put their hands over their ears/eyes during bug testimony?

Oh, wait...

Juries, judges & attorneys are not suppose to cry. The
courtroom is not a funeral parlor.

[mouser]

the fact that the jury cried means less than how they eventuslly rule on it

if i was told i had to watch porn while everyone i knew would watch me on live tv

can you think of the comments by

spouse you seemed too interested
minister you seemed relaxed you watch much of that
my mom why were your eyes open

CRYING THE SAFE EMOTION

Kim, movie makers make people cry all the time. They're good at it! That doesn't mean what you see on the screen is real. There are many rape sceens in Hollywood films that make people cry. They're not real.

Hollywood (and I assume porn makers) have always used older actors to portray younger people whenever they can. That way they avoid child labor laws and the like. You can pretty much bet any actor playing a mid-to-late teen in TV or movies is over 18.

I just saw "The Graduate" on TV and looked it up on the 'net. Guess what. Dustin Hoffman (the kid) was 31 at the time, and Anne Bancroft (the older woman) was 36.

No one in the public can say if DW had child porn, 'cause none of us have seen it. That's up to the jury to decide. Hopefully they will base their verdict on analysis of the evidence and not emotion.
