He's already made remarks indicating that the jurors were discussing the case. I wonder if other jurors complained about Justin trying to talk to them about the case???

Just doesn't seem like beaver country.
You would be wrong on that count. Read this:
Our road was now one of continued enjoyment and it was pleasant riding among this assemblage of green pastures with varied flowers and scattered groves and out of the warm green spring to look at the rocky snowy peaks where lately we had suffered so much.
The lupine (is) a beautiful shrub in thickets, some of them being 12 feet in height. Occasionally three or four were clustered forming a grand bouquet about 90 feet in circumference and ten feet high. The whole summit was covered with spikes of flowers, the perfume of which is very sweet and grateful. A lover of natural beauty can imagine with what pleasures we rode among these flowering groves, which filled the air with a light and delicate fragrance."
Those are the words of John C Fremont as he pushed his cavalry through what is now the Modesto area in 1844. The land was later stripped and the forests razed (except in a few isolated riverine parks) by the cattlemen and wheat farmers, but the Modesto area was never natually a desert (that started just south of us) or a delta swamp (that started just north of us).
As for beavers, there is a large beaver population in the Delta which extends up the San Joaquin river, with a smaller branch population extending up the Tuolumne. The point where this beaver was spotted is about a mile from the conjunction of Dry Creek and the Tuolumne River, so this one was probably just exploring a new area (I've seen dozens of beavers while fishing the Tuolumne over the years, but I've never seen one in Dry Creek before).

I've thought of that as well. Plus I read on one of these threads, that he asked the court-room artist to see a scetch she was working on. He's just a wanna-be who is getting his fifteen minutes of fame.
Also many security guards are people who were at one time interested in law enforcement careers, and couldn't pass the testing process. He could be doing all of this as a payback.

Ooh. Good point. He does have that law enforcement haircut thing going on. And did he mention something about formerly being in the military?
To: fxrdeb
Yep. the guy was just full of "ya knows" and "stuff" and "kindas" and "sortas". And then all these analysts are calling him articulate and smart?!? They're probably just baiting him. Have you noticed how his chest puffs up every time they call him "Juror #5"?
To: uncitizen
I read his bio somewhere, and he has been employed as a screener at the airport, and a store security guard.
Law enforcement wanna-be or I'll eat my hat.

i don't doubt it at all. After all he's a head airport screener. Sounds power trippy.
To: runningbear
What's next?
Peterson's gardener's girlfriend's hairdresser breaks nail?

To: sissyjane
To me, he seems like he wants to go back home and lay around in front of the tv, maybe go to the beach. This trial is seriously eating into his 'personal' time.
And if he can get a book deal, some $$$, and some noteriety, so much the better!
I think the trial made his head hurt. He had to self medicate with Gameboy. Wonder what time he gets out of bed on non-trial days!

He didn't seem all that reasonable to me. In fact, like Scott, he was lying through his teeth about some things. (Either at that interview, or in the earlier ones.)

Thanks for the ping, rb! Wow! This trial is getting exciting!
To: RGSpincich
LOL--yes, we all feel much safer knowing that Justin once made the cut as... airport screener!
To: sissyjane
If he had his way I bet he'd love to go out on Scott's boat Well, then, by all means, Scott should indulge him! "Here, Justin, hold these anchors for a sec..."
To: runningbear
Juror 5 probably learned that (about pregnant women being crazy) from his mother. She was probably "crazy" on something when he was in utero... how else to explain HIM?

Beth Karas on CTV just said that Broccini is still on the stand. Just played the messege that Scott left for Laci on the 24th. "Hello beautiful it's 2:15 and I'm on my way home from Berkeley......"

Vinny P. on CTV..Scott changed his mind about fishing when he told Amy he was going to go golfing, as he had bought the fishing license for the 23rd, 24th Scott then changed his mind again that morning to go fishing....Despite the reports the license is blank, I believe one has to fill it out when purchased...
Interesting. First the fishing decision, then the golfing decision, changed again to fishing.
Beth says "sweety, darling call" played by Geragos, to Laci answering machine on 24th asking her to pick up gift basket...He is doing an effective use of tape,crossexamining Broncchini showing accurate info Scott gave.
