Like I said , since I cant find any buildings being torn down on the news because of the judges actions, well you know Originally Posted by CJ7Yes, I saw you wrote that, and "the news" is as ignorant about courtroom demeanor as you are!
... Regardless of what people say there is an "assumption" of guilt at times when someone refuses to testify or "talk"!But GZ has talked. He waived his right to remain silent and they videotaped several interviews and played them for the jury. He just didn't take the stand.

Like I said .. when people get pissed they get "unstable"! Originally Posted by LexusLover

Better than fricking Comedy Central!
But GZ has talked. He waived his right to remain silent and they videotaped several interviews and played them for the jury. He just didn't take the stand.That's about right, particularly if jury information forms are available in advance (previous day).

I was on voir dire for a double murder. The visiting judge gave the defense one hour to question 100 potential jurors and the prosecution also got an hour. His final words of instruction were
"This isn't California and I ain't Judge Ito."
Most were dismissed in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Originally Posted by gnadfly

It's no wonder to me now, why we let so many people out of prison on appeals or new DNA evidence, or how they got there in the first place. You get the mayor, a couple loonies prosecuting you, and a loony judge, you are fucking screwed.
