Nelson excuses her failure to read the defense pleading on res gestae by pressures of other business, but ridicules defense delay in deposing Scheme Team Leader on same grounds.

For now... "Victim's" parents allowed... Crump is not... GZ's family not if they are on witness list

Yes, that was huge. The "TM was screaming while beating the crap out of GZ" theory is now dead.

Nelson cite case law to allow parents in even if witnesses?

Did anyone notice MOM explaining why Crump was not deposed? He said something about the court was aware of why and he would address in open court if she wanted him to. Not exact words, but I think close.

MOM was just alluding to the HUGE amount of work he has had on with this rush-job trial

More I missed with a late start!

More I missed with a late start!

...or when the wildabouttrial page went into "recovery" mode for some unknown reason!

Really dumb way to start talking to a group of women.

Well, now....I said it was going to get ugly

9:35 a.m.

Judge Nelson asks for the jury to be brought in.

Judge Nelson addresses the jury. She asks if any of them saw any reports about the case, researched the case, or talked about the case during the recess.

She explains the trial process, starting with the opening statements, followed by witnesses brought to testify, and then final arguments.

She says they should not form any definite opinions in the case.

She says they can only consider the presented evidence and not conduct their own investigation.

She says the jurors cannot discuss the case by any means. She says the defendant has a right to remain silent, and if he doesn’t take the witness stand, it shouldn’t affect their decision.

The jurors are allowed to take notes, but they cannot be taken from the courtroom and they will eventually be destroyed.

Yes, no "Good Morning" no pleasantries, no thought about the fact that it is a jury of all women, just "FUCKING!"

How to win friends and influence people.

Typical: John Guy arguing against normal (and expected) CCW behavior: yes, the gun is loaded, with a round in the chamber, and carried securely in an IWB holster.
