Seances, ouija boards, sun tanning and buffet lunches. Pretty much everything else goes. It varies even between judges and jurisdictions, regional/national politics, media access and local politics

Aww c’mon…think how enlightening a seance could be?

1. Speculation here as to whether or not the jury would be sequestered.
2. The criminal trial and SM comments during the same including speculation the jury and families were reading SM posts.
3. The judge shutting down comments on Law and Order and their echo of comments here.
4. Rereading the first threads to back up my own comments and noticing the introduction and close alignment of a version of events with the timing of addition of a prolific poster and the hiring of Bilinkas.
5. The concentrated attack on other views of events than that one.
6. Thinking my imagination was working overtime and the idea was preposterous until being accused of it here.
7. An article about at home side jobs in retirement listing being on a virtual jury and wondering what other jobs a defense attorney could farm out.
8. AH/JD articles on the dynamics of televised trials and crowd choosing of winners and losers.

Social media is wonderful for finding old friends and keeping up with friends and family. It’s great for “how to do” type videos, training, etc. However, other uses to manipulate public opinion can be problematic. Politically, the use can be very sophisticated and powerful. So I wonder how it can affect our courts.

@hut-ho78

Ok. Right. Barn. Ok. Different from house. @Knights_Mom I should have noticed you said barn not house.

@hut-ho78

Good detail.

@hut-ho78

It wasn’t a trick. I should have paid more attention to the word barn which was pointed out by someone else. Apologies to you.

No I could see that coming up as far as a witness. I vaguely remember a dog in court to point out the perp on some TV show

Now I’m going to see if I can find that episode, just to see the potential…

Unless they can prove the animal communicator is an expert witness

Lying, for one, unless its used to show bad faith or for impeaching a party

[StB.YM]

Will the verdict of the criminal trial (or the criminal trial itself) be brought up during the civil trial? I ask this because in the JD/AH trial, the verdict from UK trial between JD and the Sun paper wasn’t allowed to be discussed, but that was a civil case, not a criminal one.

Too bad. The horses know all the good secrets.

Darn! That one didn’t have Julian McMahon in it did it?

I agree. With the news of the recent 48 Hours interview, maybe they’re trying to build a case like “Look, those awful people on COTH are still bullying us.” They’re trying to build sympathy from future viewers of the program.

Well, that would work except it also shows how desperate they appear to control the narrative on an insignificant forum. Same for YouTube.

Why is important for anyone to control the narrative? What is the gain?

It was proven in a court of law. Otherwise he would have been found simply NG, not NGRI and he would have walked out of court that day.

Here we go again…the conflicting testimony of two known, admitted liars didn’t prove anything, nor did the massive amounts of forensic evidence /s.

Yes. Clearly we disagree. I choose to respect the court and think the verdict was the best that could be hoped for under these circumstances.

Ironically, there’s a lot of case law that allows a conviction but not an acquittal to be brought up. Whether that applies to NJ, and what that will mean to this case, I don’t know.

That is a very good question that I haven’t understood since day one. The effort so many have taken to put lipstick on a pig has been amazing.
