The objection is sustained due to illegal judge-lunging.

This is what a lawyer does when his client is a known liar and doesn’t have a leg to stand on. You invent stuff that makes you the Victim de Jour.

worse, after the exchange, “Walker appeared close to tears as she argued back with the judge and soon left the courtroom with her mother, who was in the gallery, “

and the other female lawyer accused the judge, son of a judge and nephew of the worlds 3rd richest man, of ‘snarling’: ““I’ve noticed snarls multiple times,” Widell said.”

what a clown and pony show, but quickly becoming the typical for any trial involving a certain privileged class in the US

Looked it up a long time ago that Subway is open 24 hours. Now what kind of wealthy idiot goes out late at night in sub zero weather with a fairly stiff breeze blowing which was amplified by being channeled by the buildings for a Subway even if he had the munchies. You pick up the phone and have tge darn thing delivered.

You looked up the specific one he supposedly went to? Cause every subway around me closes at 21 or 2200.

@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human
beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery.

This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should
have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or
color of their skin. We must confront this hate.

She must not have much trial experience if this is the first time a judge has ruled that her line of cross-examination was irrelevant.

The Judge is not supposed to comment on the reasons for evidentiary rulings in front of the jury. If a proper objection is made that a question is irrelevant, the proper ruling is “sustained” and nothing else. “I’m going to sustain that objection because this line of questioning is irrelevant,” even if quite true, is an improper comment, if the jury is present. In Texas anyway.

That being said, the proper response is to object to the comment, ask the Judge to instruct the jury to ignore the comment, and then ask for a mistrial, either on the grounds that the Judge refused to instruct the jury, or on the grounds that the Judge’s comment was so egregious the Defendant cannot get a fair trial from this jury. You don’t just jump straight to requesting a mistrial.

I don’t see a reversal in one comment about an evidentiary ruling. But His Honor should keep in mind that some criminal defendant’s best hope is the Judge, the prosecutor, or both, will do something really stupid. That lesson ought to be easy to remember in Cook County, home of the Chicago Seven trial.

The very one. The news gave enough info to figure out which subway it had to be. There was only 1 that it could be. Then went to its in 500 block McClug Court. Hours are different now. They now close at 8. Between COVID and the Civil unrest in Chicago business have really cut back on hours.

Here in LA some used to be open late but I dont know of any in my area tgat were open last 11pm. They retty much shut down around 8 pm.in the Valley.

Like you I had a hard time believing that one would be open at 2 am, I was surprised by their hours.
