He’ll use this in closing argument if not allowed as evidence
Do a little dance, make a little law....get down tonight.
and now he’s back
the key is still the chick who said she heard tray say...why are you following me....and....she knew it was a fight?
I think of my ex husband when he speaks.
It’s all just for show, apparently. She had to put up at least the “appearance” of impartiality. It didn’t fool me for a NY second.
OMG.....poor you.
>> So it’s probably been a waste of time.
Maybe.
My bet is, she’ll allow the defense to use it during their closing argument.
Actually, keeping one ear to the courtroom action: she has a (legal) point with her concern that the jury could apparently take it into the deliberation room and play it “over and over” and thus make the animation the “bible” of the actual events.
I suppose the jury could do what we used to do when I was little and make flip-book drawings.
No doubt his life partner concurs.
I suppose so. Closing argument admission is better than nothing. We’ll see.
apparently common sense is ruled out
the prosecution could have brought in their own animation
... but that does not go back to the jury room
... that they can play over and over and over again
judge
gives a certain weight that this court does not necessarily
feel comports with the weight of the evidence blah blah
Pierce is the only Florida case
GM versus someone is a civil case
Pierce:
demonstrative exhibit
when they are clear they should be accepted and when they are confusing they should be rejected
LOL
Listening and watching is a double whammy. Thank you for your sympathy. :)
Maybe better....can’t be crossed.
I think the state feels the defense could have slipped something into this animation which could tip the scale just enough by watching it and there is no control over the whole package. They can only pick apart things seperately and create doubt. There is probably strong reluctance for the judge to allow it.
Pretty gutsy. I will go ahead and agree. This thing is getting a fair hearing and in the future, it will be more and more of an issue.
Could Mantei possibly kiss Judge Nelson’s considerable @ss any more (disgustingly) than he already has? I don’t see how.
