I’’m with you two, mine think I am just old and paranoid.
It’s really frustrating to find ways to share the reality without destroying their belief in the goodness in this world. I submit, there is goodness, but something dark and evil has come upon this country.
if she sustains an objection to let David Lee in, and she should, I’ll definitely think the fix is in to facilitate the riots. She will be clearly rushing this along as opposed to just pandering to the prosecution.
Undercover agents.
Plain clothes
overcharged, dropped down, and then dismissed
The state is flailing and the judge is helping and enabling them.
This is just a sleazy attempt to introduce a wrinkle in Z’s past.
If those text messages proving Thugboy was a seasoned fighter aren’t admissible, how can the judge POSSIBLY allow this crap?
What gall that little bobblehead has even attempting this.
Absolutely.
OHHHHH never thought of that.
OHHHHH never thought of that.
Occurred eight years ago. Charges were eventually dropped, and GZ subsequently obtained clear background check for CCW and ride with local law enforcement.
I hope the tennis school is not in Miami. Son is staying with a retired Miami cop who would shoot first and ask question later, but the cop is visiting in another state so he's not there. Son has no gun. It's a far chance out but I hope the cop showed Wayne where guns are in the house. I had told son to talk to cop about this case but don't know if he did.
O'Mara warning he will call witnesses if Z arrest for assault of officer allowed.
Judge interrupts, says she doesn't want to hear "if you do this I'll do that".

State closing arguments = 3 hrs - estimate
Defense = same (3 hours)

my guess is that they recognize that they are long shots.
i get a sense that among other things lawyers rate each other by how much actual trial time they spend arguing in open court. so all other things being equal, court arguing time is to the advantage of the attorney arguing since he can put it on his resume, whether the case is won or lost.
in that sense, if the situation is a long shot, the senior attorney can hand off the argument to a junior attorney in order so that the junior attorney may get more experience arguing in open court.
I cannot state enough how much of a professional MoM has been. That man has incredible patience, too.
Rushed, unable to present full defense for defendant. Reversible error.
