What’s stunning is that this verdict will be reached with a whole lot of evidence still left in the bag that the public knows but the jury doesn’t.

The evidence of street fighting, school suspensions, marijauna useage, no-limit nicknames, .................. was excluded not because it wasn’t true but because it was deemed to be off limits or unnecessary for acquittal.

Yep. O'Mara said on Cooper he argued to get the THC levels allowed so that the defense and not the judge could decide whether to present it to the jury.

But I am shocked that Parks had doubts about the charge being proven. That is stunning.

The judge deemed it not necessary for acquittal, and yet she has no way of knowing how the jury will rule, unless she's psychic. So if the jury comes back with a guilty verdict, the judge has thrown the case to the state, essentially. Grounds for her disbarment perhaps? Definitely grounds for an appeal. But that in itself is a travesty of justice....to drag this no-case out in yet another trial.
