Just how much leeway do attorneys have in making their summation?
I was happy to hear that most either owned a gun or had a family member who owned a gun. One lady had a conceal and carry but gave it up when she gave up her gun.
BTW, does anyone know which was is the jury foreman?
Manslaughter means one doesn’t have a right to kill, even though it wasn’t done with ill intent.
Self-defense however, is never manslaughter...and when one is having one’s head banged violently against the concrete—shooting is definitely legitimate self-defense.
Disbarred and imprisoned. After being convicted of violating Z’s rights.
Yeah, I get it. You don’t need to win me over.
I’m talking about the jurors.
You be shocked to heard some of the wacky ideas about this trial.
“In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king”.
In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is adjudicated insane on grounds of his incessant ranting about his supernatural hallucinations. Colors? WTF?
Birds? Yeah, right, catch one and make it sing.
Sure the guy seems psychic about what’s happening at a distance, but that means he’s a sorcerer and should be burned at the stake.
I heard one of the trial observers, a "jury selection consultant," speculate that the foreman would be a woman in her 60s who was a retired real estate agent.
Even now that the trial is over, I don't know if anyone knows for sure who the foreman was. It was my impression that the woman who read the verdict was a bailiff or some other court official, not the foreman.
Curious as we are about who the jurors are, I hope Judge Nelson decides to allow the jurors to remain anonymous. Apparently she granted them anonymity through the end of the trial, but media organizations are clamoring for names.
Sadly, the jurors' lives will be destroyed if Judge Nelson lets their names become public.
Well said
