Is that what they are doing? (Not listening.)
It seems unfair to add a charge after the trial. How can they defend him against a charge they did not know would be there?

Hmmm I’m not really sure to be honest what happens after they begin deliberating! I’ve seen people get sick during the trial (and I’ve also seen a juror who had their grandma die during the trial and had to leave) but not while deliberations are happening!
And then you have RG searching the internet for info on MHG’s kids…no?

I can say, that I’m completely gun naive. I once went on a date with a man in North Carolina where we went to dinner, had drinks out, then went back to my place with friends.
He then stated that he was a ‘bail bondsman’ in his spare time (I think he was a lawyer?).
Then he took out 2 guns from his suit and put them on the side table. I had no clue. So I guess it’s possible…
That date ended toute de suite, and he was never seen by me again.

This is the stuff I love. It really helps understand why trials sometimes don’t end the way people think.

Thinking about the conditions in jail, at the very least sitting next to the window, feeling the sunshine, eating a decent lunch has to be a relief.

My understanding is that they are talking about a flow chart of charges to consider - they they FIRST say NOT GUILTY for the attempted murder, then can they consider a lessor charge such as aggravated assault? (So far prosecution says yes, Bilinkis isn’t inmpressed)
They are discussing the wording and all the intricacies I don’t understand…

What I find interesting is that they keep referring to the comments MB made immediately after the incident (I had a good life, I am sorry, etc), indicating he was aware. I had a concussion after a fall. I remember none of it, but I have been told that my instructor and the barn owner were trying to decide if I needed to go to the ER. It’s my understanding that I knew that I had fallen and that I wanted to get back on the horse and continue the exercise. At the same time, I was running around doing and saying very silly things - which is what made them decided that I needed to be checked out.
I was being ushered to my instructor’s car and I “come to” and now I am truly lucid, and say “The Urgent Care in town opens at noon. We’ll go there.” But I still have no memory of the fall, and everything that happened before we got to the car. Even then, it was like I woke up when I touched the door handle. I don’t remember walking out of the barn to the parking lot, I just remember suddenly looking at the car and knowing they wanted to take me to the ER for some reason.
I have no trouble believing MB said those things and does not remember what happened.

I wonder if part of the aim of this discussion on the part of the judge is hoping that there could be a plea deal for the lesser offense.

Can they still plea out?

Since this has been used a lot…a jurist is a legal expert, like a lawyer or a judge. The fact finders here are jurors.

Why is Bilinkas throwing the eggs into one basket? Why isn’t he arguing more?

Did he say no arrest records, or did he say conviction records?

They’re debating adding them now.
Schellhorn wants to Include them
Bilinkas doesn’t… he seems to want to push for guilty or not by insanity. No middle ground.
