I know that these things can't be rushed, but it has already taken them an hour longer than it would have taken me!

I'd rather be at Allerton
The mistakes on the PowerPoint are still making me angry.
1. I love PowerPoints and do many a meme to entertain my coworkers so I take typos and errors DEEPLY PERSONALLY.
2. Prosecutors and defense attorneys should, in theory, have easy access to the most updated jury instructions PRIOR to trial because you know what you have to argue/prove in order to streamline your closing arguments.
3. I just don't see how you get that stuff wrong without some sort of gross incompetence or intent. JMHO.
I am so ashamed that this went to trial. As I have often stated, there are many reasons I am no longer a prosecutor but I certainly don't want people like me to be replaced by people with no compunction, ethics, or common sense whatsoever BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE YOU END UP.

In the last thread @LadyLoyalty is correct. She is the alleged victim. I called the victim as a shortcut and sort of out of respect for the whole SA process.

I really should go away for an hour, but I can't.
No way this jury wants to come back tomorrow. This should all be over with soon.
Terrence Shannon Jr. takes stand in final day of rape trial
LAWRENCE, Kan. (WAND) - Court is back in session for what is expected to be the final day of the Terrence Shannon Jr. trial.
"During the cross-examination of Shannon, prosecutors questioned him about his multiple NIL deals, receiving free Nike merchandise through the school, and driving to Kansas in a brand new BMW." - Is this talented athlete shaming?

While we wait, I'll tell a story by Jack Handy.
You know, in war, instead of throwing hand grenades, I think we should throw those tiny little pumpkins. Then, when the enemy comes out to see what these little pumpkins are...that's when we throw the real hand grenades.

Immediately after the charging instructions, my vote:

I’m not exactly sure what I’d say to any other juror in the room who said “Yeah, I think he’s guilty”, but I’m sure it would be something similar to…….

This really puts every single game, recruitment, and coaching thread into perspective. The stakes are so much higher.
Being able to stay updated on what's happening in the courthouse via Gillfilan's tweets has made this a completely different experience than it would have been otherwise.
Regardless of the jury's decision, this is going to be a trending topic on the news. I'm not looking forward to seeing the toxicity on other non-Loyalty platforms.

I mean if the lunch is good, do they really want to go to work on Friday?

Thank you for helping me justify staying, instead of going back to work.
I saw a lot of commentary on the defense going after the testimony of the victim. Unfortunately, that has come as a result of a flimsy case from the DA. I think the attorney did a good job of not accusing the victim of lying as much as he did lay out the inconsistency of that testimony. It's not the majority of the defense argument either.
The whole point is to establish reasonable doubt. It doesn't have to be the same doubt for all jurors. It just has to be there for one of them?
