@AffidavitAmber I haven’t watched today though so maybe that will change haha

@AffidavitAmber Honestly, he’s been pretty annoyed when anyone doesn’t directly answer the question being asked, witnesses included. It’s frustrating when it truly feels like a yes/no isn’t adequate but overall I think he is letting her try her case which is all any defense attorney can ask for.

@aburkhartlaw And that’s not to say that I think will/won’t be a viable ground. I just think it’s egregious. Let’s assume you don’t want to object & call attention to it the 1st time, you still approach before the next witness. Or the 3rd. Or the 4th. Just makes no sense if it was as reported.

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

@aburkhartlaw I agree it is very difficult, but I also just cannot believe how the state was *repeatedly* allowed to ask lay witnesses the ultimate question that the jury was supposed to decide: was it murder or self-defense. As far as black & white failures to object go, this one is up there.

I just saw this and I laughed so hard.

This Rashaun Jones case continues to get messier.

- Jailhouse informant George Jones (no relation to Rashaun) who was removed from the witness list after threatening to "tank" the state's case has been added back to the witness list

- The lead detective, Juan Segovia, is now the subject of an internal affairs investigation, and is suspected of using a burner account to post comments about Jones' guilt and the credibility of trial witnesses online.

For bonus context, the disgraced Michael Von Zamft was part of the prosecution team when the jailhouse information first made the statement that Rashaun confessed to him.

@kattnotwilliams I think the document requires specific permission to view right now.

@Rallen4521 @brian017 @CourtTV They specifically answered no to that special issue. It sounds like their answer makes it fall under Class C felony because they answered yes to it causing great bodily harm.

@cathyrusson Did they not find her guilty of the lesser reckless count?

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

@Markymark6782 @defense_diaries he lost me at the “dehumanizing” Eric on the 911 call by calling him “it” and then playing the 911 where she, imo, pretty clearly says “him” over and over and the “it” is in reference to the blanket

[TheeLitigousBob⚖️ @AffidavitAmber]

Normalize not appreciating jurors who do a shitty job. No, I don’t care that you took 4 weeks out of your life to wrongfully convict someone. I actually preferred if you hadn’t

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

@cat_i_e Sometimes, if the atmosphere is appropriate, I let them in on the little secret about how some of the cases we are most proud of are the cases that we absolutely should never have won, but we outworked and outlawyered the state and we won anyway. It helps.

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

In PD/appointed cases, I think it’s often that clients don’t know you enough yet to trust you and they think you won’t fight for them unless you think that they are innocent. It helps to address it head on.

[res judicatie @cat_i_e]

what is the perceived benefit of lying to your lawyer about verifiable facts that will impact the outcome of your case

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

@AffidavitAmber Imagine the level of cognitive dissonance it takes to hear that and think “wow, he’s guilty,” and not that it’s a totally appropriate response from a black man who is looking at two white detectives and one of them just told him that he’s there to “hunt”. 🤪

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

@LexiTheLawNerd If you have the time to do a deep dive into the 412 issue, that would be amazing. I can’t imagine a body of caselaw that would allow a rule of evidence to overcome his constitutional right to present a defense in the way that the judge was ordered. There’s gotta be context.

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

honestly how tf did that jury find ksoo guilty, that’s actually insane

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

@kattnotwilliams @Angenette5 @cathyrusson Can L&C get a stream on this?

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

@roving_woman this is hilarious

[🌸 @objectanyway_]

@chefcascottccc @HappilyAngryEsq isn’t she saying he wasn’t in California when the lawsuit is saying he would have had to be in order to commit the assault? I read this as her saying there’s proof it’s a lie
