    That is quite the necklace, Your Honor.

    Verdict pending. https://twitter.com/MeritLaw/status/1179056759966765057

    I hope this isn't relevant today.

    I think you're overestimating the will of the people to risk life and limb rioting. Protesting, sure. Rioting - that's quite a stretch.

    The longer the jury deliberates, the more likely I see either a compromise manslaughter verdict or a hung jury. It came up in the trial that one of the jurors had a professional relationship with Ranger Armstrong, but the Judge didn’t see fit to dismiss the juror. From that moment forward, I was worried that the defense snuck a ringer on the jury. It only takes one obstinate racist/Back The Blue asshole to prevent a guilty verdict...

    I missed the live trial action this morning, but can one of our law dogs explain why the Judge instructed the jury that they could consider the Castle Doctrine defense? It doesn't appear to be applicable given the actual circumstances of this murder. Does this make it more likely for the verdict to stand on appeal? There's got to be a good reason. I just can't figure out what it is.

    It could have just as easily been the maintenance man doing an emergency repair in her apartment and she still probably would have gotten off the hook. Her mentality ensured that someone was leaving in a body bag, even if it wasn't her apartment to defend. If she walks, then we need to go back and re-visit the Castle Doctrine and ensure that this sort of defense can never be used in these situations ever again. It gives carte blanche to would-be murderers looking for the opportunity to put someone in a grave.

    I'm right there with you. This is not the ticker-tape parade she envisioned in her head before she decided to barge in and kill her "burglar".

    Ooof. I guess they're really angling for the ineffective assistance of counsel appeal, huh?

    The appellate lawyer dude in his black suit looks like Kingpin from Spiderman.

    Co-signed. This is a spark that ignites the greater rage which leads to reform. Same thing could happen in Houston if Goines somehow escaped prosecution.

    Anyone catch what time they are resuming tomorrow?

    Now I know why my FIL does so much expert witnessing in his semi-retirement. He's actually incredibly competent in his field (synthetic organic chemistry), but still, my point stands.

    This expert isn't even qualified to suck my balls. For anyone interested, I'd highly recommend watching Exhibit A regarding the validity of some admitted "expert" testimony. Texas is particularly egregious in that matter, but at least we have a statute by which their science can be reviewed/disproved and used to overturn wrongful convictions.
  17. hopkinsnhorns
    This expert is worthless. I hope he isn't allowed.
  18. hopkinsnhorns
    Yeah, they are. They've already presented their case. The only thing they can do now is question the defenses witnesses on cross examination. But you can be sure she will be properly lambasted during their closing statements.

    Lunch, scheduled to be back at 1:10PM.

    They'll be in session tomorrow, for at least part of the day. Judge gave them notice of that yesterday. I don't think the judge is going to let the trial lose momentum. She's doing an admirable job of calling balls and strikes to me, the uninformed citizen.

    Not only that, but she half-assed her Rambo experience. Had she put her shit down before storming the door, she would have been able to turn on the light to better identify her target. In doing so, she likely would have realized she was in the wrong apartment and the only death would have been that of her ego having committed such an egregious error. But no, she barged in, carrying 40+ lbs of gear in her left arm for no reason and shot an *unarmed* man in the dark in an environment she failed to identify.

    I feel sorry that she has to deal with these consequences, but not so sorry as to absolve her of her responsibility of causing this entire clusterfuck. In my mind she's guilty, minimum sentence of 5 years (no early release) with a stipulation that she can never be allowed to carry a gun or act as a peace officer ever again.

    Her mind was racing, and pacing, and plotting a course.

    She was too busy deleting her PornHub history and cancelling her booty call. #Prioritites
