From the comments at Ace’s blog:

His closing was a terrible thing to watch...he began to click through his bullet points rapidly without comment and then just quit. With clearly more to go. People in the courtroom said it was clear he had lost the jury’s attention and sympathy. Angela Corey sat scrunched down behind the bar, her hooded eyes flicking nervously back and forth like a Gila Monster on the lookout for a passing bug.

>> they get to punch holes in the defense and theirs will be the last words heard before the judge sends them into deliberations.

If they had anything real to work with, I’d be really concerned about that. But they don’t.

“Probably not Detroit.”

Or Chicago I suppose. Sad, but I suppose when you have such a high murder rate, mostly black youth, it isn’t newsworthy anymore.

Did anyone else notice BDLR went at least a half hour into his closing before thanking the jurors for their service, time and attention?

I’ve only been involved in civil, but I’ve only ever seen the lawyers thank jurors thee second they start the closing, before saying another thing.

>> To leave off his MJ and blunts? If so, why not his Watermelon and Skittles?

When you’re carrying contraband — not that *I* ever have, but some of my friends used to — you’re concerned with ditching *that*.

You may not even remember you have the legal stuff on you.

Would Chicago even notice if they had a riot. Particularly the south side ?

She’s not getting away with her outrageous bias on Face Book.

I agree. “Rehabilitation,” I think is the operative term. The prosecution is on the defense: They spent the whole time today trying to shoot holes through the defense’s case, instead of restating their own. That is very telling.

Donna, take papa bear’s advice to heart. This person will LIE about what you say and do, make it up out of whole cloth if necessary, just to get you into trouble big enough to get you fired. Do not interact with her in any way unless you have a witness! Please!

Agreed. Do not interact with the crazy lady. YOU WILL LOSE.

In a conflict between a white employee and a black employee, the company will fire the white employee rather than risk a lawsuit from the black employee.

You are at work to make a living, not to change the world.

>>>>No, but I was fantasizing that MOM would close by only telling that joke, everyone would be shocked, and the 5 minutes later the jury returns a full acquittal.<<<<

Hmmm. My fantasy ends the same as yours, but begins with MOM gently and lovingly picking up the dummy’s dummy...and...whoops...wrong fantasy! I want to hear a closing argument that will bring a tear to the eyes of Atticus Finch and make Americans stand up and cheer!

Bernie reeked of desperation. I imagine the sweat soaked his arm pits under his jacket.

>> If there are one or two actual thinking human beings on the jury, surrounded by low information types, it will be a hung jury.

That depends on the persuasive skills of the thinking ones. Leaders in groups sway followers.

Please pray boldly for those “thinking jurors” tonight and tomorrow — that GOD grant them the words and strength of character to sway the others.

God bless you, and FRegards
