I don't see the benefit of the defense getting the tool in unless there is a proved connection to Martin like the ones he had in his school.
Yes, but the jury won’t know the potential prison sentences and that’s so unfair!
Wonder who the fruit is sitting behind the oh so lovely parents?
What a bunch of angry looking freaks.
Only relevant if they are working on a compromise verdict.
It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few
I’ll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you like the style
I can change it ‘round, and I want to be a paperback writer

You saved them!
If I were at work in a city in Florida, I'd be headed home right now. Just to be safe...
Two issues are raised.
nurse-- the HLN article says that she works at a nursing home, not that she is a nurse. The significance to me is that the nursing home staffers are low paid semi-skilled jobs while the nurse (typically at a ratio of 1 to 20 or lower) primarily supervises the staffers. To my mind, the nurse is more likely to be a thinker, while the staffer is more likely to be an feeler (Myers-Briggs).
Toxicology report-- I was under the impression that the tox report was not submitted into evidence, probably because it was not strict proof of being under the influence of THC or not.
I don’t understand that part. In my state we reached the decision, and then selected the punishment at the same time. I mean I signed the document that specified both. I guess its different law in different states.
“Yes, but the jury won’t know the potential prison sentences and that’s so unfair!”
That’s the problem. The jury might want to give him manslaughter, instead, not knowing that it still could be up to 30 friggin years in prison...
and all for daring to try to save his own life.
What a world, what a world.
It’s 7:15PM, in London.
Go ahead, you are clear.
Oklahoma has it right.
Thank you thank you! I’d like to thank all the little people (1,999 posts) who made my special moment possible
Thank goodness for those cutouts standing up against the wall this entire time.
That has to have an impact
In a presser a few days ago, MOM said that giving the lengths of the sentences is up to the judges’ discretion. Doesn’t look like it got in the final.
On lockdown because?
LOL!!! Your 1 second of fame!
Yep. It’s so wrong.
That’s why MOM told them to start with his charts
SELF DEFENSE and REASONABLE DOUBT.
ACQUIT!
