  1. The Criminal Complaint on Sechriest - with photos of his journal. https://extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/zaxdzs2191/f/Franklin Sechriest.pdf The Feds do their homework. He's toast.
  2. I am hoping that is a combat-inspired nerf gun (and that would also raise some concerns with parenting). This kid was fucked from the moment he was conceived.
  3. GR Horn - she may be correct. The way this economy is structured, with it's dependence on international capital, -- well, it almost acts like a poison pill for the rest of our economy if subsidies/free money/low interest rates are yanked.
  4. Wasn't there a Covid Karen-dude pulling that "you are threatening me" shit while advancing on the grocery clerk who asked him to put on a mask?
  5. Must be a cheese eating thing. I would not have said kenosha is a community where you can shoot someone seven times and get away with it. That's the Blake case, which started this demonstration and counter-demonstration. Dumb.
  6. Defense claims this was a "rush to judgment" in closing - parroting the OJ defense. Cool.
  7. Agree - she will need to become a Republican like Phil Graham. I sense that is her playbook at this point. She is spitting the R vote if she runs third party.
  8. There are downsides to that approach and competent defense counsel knows how to exploit those weaknesses. I am not sure this defense attorney is who I would want representing someone I care about. But his style may be what works in Wisconsin. He only needs one juror to walk in lockstep with his arguments. Apparently, the Defense hired one of OJ's jury experts who claims they have a slam-dunk juror for not guilty. That was a sharp move by the defense to hire the OJ consultant. Smart. The defense understands the dynamics in play.
  9. "Initial aggressor loses right to claim self-defense" is the prosecution argument.
  10. Defense closing - "prosecutor is a liar and my client was carrying an AR-14." Too much xanax?
  11. I don't know the Fitlump selling "underwear" to her followers backstory. For those looking to join a grift: If Fitlump attains the Presidency, her soiled undergarments may skyrocket in value. Just planting seeds . . .
  12. From the second opinion piece, quite a bold assertion and assumption: "supply of almost everything is at all-time highs"
  13. Got him a clerkship on the 5th Circus apparently, which is on-brand.
  14. The judge checked himself and said he wouldn't comment on what type of lunch. The judge needs a post-trial self-evaluation at a minimum. If I am defense at this stage, I want the judge shutting up as well. The judge is one fumble away from blowing this for the defense. He is unpredictable.
  15. More similar to the Marcia Clark prosecution of OJ.
  16. Lunch break now. Prosecutor partially completed close. Back at 12:45 (Central Time).
  17. At a certain point on cross, the questioner is essentially testifying with the witness agreeing with the questioner. A questioner should be asserting a narrative on cross.
  18. Prosecutor's closing argument is more effective than his cross of the accused. He could have turned all the arguments on close into cross-examination questions.
  19. He is attempting to deploy the he was a good kid pseudo-defense. That is certainly an argument in sentencing if found guilty, but irrelevant to the initial aggressor element or the self-defense allegation.
  20. 8 out of 18 want to finish today. I would read those 8 as wanting a quick "not guilty." Closing arguments starting.
  21. Then focus your argument on what is relevant. Objection sustained.
  22. Most judges loath deviating from pattern jury instructions.
