Sounds awfully high-handed.
Sounds like a preview of what the Waco trials will likely be.
Its gotten worse since I posted this.
In summary:
1. The prosecution objected to defense witnesses but the defense put witnesses in the trial anyway with the jury excluded from hearing them. This would at least put testimony on the record for the appeal process.
2. When Eric Parker tried to put into the trial record without the jury present to hear him, his defense, his side of what happened at Bunkerville on April 12, 2014 the prosecution objected.
3. As the defendant Parker persisted in telling his side of the story, testifying in defense of himself, the judge ended his testimony and threw him out of the courtroom.
