In Between Trials

[Rat in the Hat]

No one is in the gallery watching the trial.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

Judge is going to allow defense to do another witness out of order tomorrow.

This is the most screwed up trial I have ever watched.

Oops, my mistake. They're doing the witness now outside the presence of the jury.

 

[testarosa]

This is nutso!

Why didn't the defense get all up on Detective Backwardass about his interrogating techniques.

Guess that's how it normally rolls in KY. Nothing to get excited about to have a convict threat witnesses for statements for the cops.

Witness was a friend of Joshy from a foster home.

WAT is still down. They killed it-killed it

They bounced him from the stand to take this witness.

But the jury is gone, so what's the point??

Witness went to McDonald's with Amanda and Trey.


They took a right on Hick Road and a left on Stumblefuck Drive.

IDK

I don't remember seeing a trial where a witness testified for the prosecution and defense before. ;-)

Wait...what??? You don't remember this beauty???

WAT feed back up, court is in session.

Annie Lennox is questioning Detective Pawn about the phone calls.

 

[testarosa]

Finally!

Go Annie!

Quick Fancy Grapes update.

Fancy had Gouker's lawyer on the show. She was outraged, OUTRAGED!!!, that Gouker was sentenced to life with possibility of parole in 20. She wants him to be electrocuted, or at least have gotten LWOP. She also kept badgering the lawyer about "how could you defend that monster?"

The lawyer tried to explain to her that the state didn't charge any aggrevators in their case, so LWOP & death were off the table, to which Fancy actually said "I don't care about the law, the judge should have sentenced him to LWOP anyway".

 

[Rat in the Hat]

"we wanted that information, so if it took getting him to say it was OK, then that was OK with us"

 

[Rat in the Hat]

Defense really soft-balled their cross. Annie didn't pound him after he made that statement.


This whole farce is really starting to look very fishy.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

Detective Pawn didn't take anything from the garage because it was dirty, so he didn't see any evidential value.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

Commonwealth rests their case. Jury released until 9:00 AM tomorrow.

Judge expects jury to get the case on Friday.

Judge tells jury that even though they get to leave early, they still get the whole whopping $12.50 for their service today.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

Defense is now asking for dismissal, saying there is not a "scintilla" of evidence for the jury to deliberate.

I'm pretty sure he's going to be shot down on that one.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

Defense is channeling his inner Stamina by saying "This case is strange".

 

[Rat in the Hat]

Judge denies directed verdict of acquittal.

Quelle surprise.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

This case gets more fucked up by the second.

Commonwealth has rested, now they are talking about more witnesses they want to call.
