Yes, after that, Bilinkas asked again “Did you say these exact words: I used my 7 minutes minutes to help Rob keep the(this?) six-foot-four MB subdued by breaking my IPhone on his cheek and in his ear” and LK’s answer was “I probably said that, yeah”.

Funny how she can grasp and answer questions from the prosecutor.

To go along with my previous comment on her behaviour being strategic, we are back to yes/no answers, can easily find material on the transcript, not asking for the questions to be repeated.
I realize with Bilinkas she was under more pressure… but she’s flipped a full on behaviour switch. It’s almost a little too obvious.

But doesn’t that suggest that he knew full well he was walking into a situation where he might shoot someone? Makes it seem like he walked into it fully prepared to shoot and he did.
I think it’s possible the jury could interpret it that way

I heard her admit to that, yes.
I wonder if she will find her horses tied to the trees out in front of the barn when she gets back to Loxahatchee.
P. S. ^ That’s a joke.

Why can she read from her transcript for the state but not the defence?
Why can the state read from the transcript but not the defence?
Honest question for legal professionals (@soloudinhere maybe?).

But then Bilinkas was wrong, she wasn’t leaving it out.

Good catch. And from the judge as well.

Self defense= he defended himself from their assault

Yes he just did a good job of demonstrating it can be tricky to sort that task.
Oh interesting, I wonder what the issue was then. I will have to rewatch that part because my phone rang in the middle but I thought I mostly missed the muted sidebar. Maybe my theory is crap after all.

Or it could be interpreted that he was prepared to shoot the dog if it attacked him.
Which would be undesirable, but a completely different thing.

If I had to guess, I think since the judge didn’t have a transcript he automatically assumed Bilinkas was embellishing.

I was referring to the previous exchange, when the defense lawyer pointed out that the prosecutor was reading from the document, after the judge had told the defense lawyer not to do that exact same thing. Only then did the judge tell the prosecutor not to do it.

I missed that part - how did that go?
And when the prosecutor and LK read directly from it again and Bilinkas object, the judge allowed them to go on reading from the transcript. He cited a rule so I’m wondering if someone can explain why it is okay when this happens by and for the prosecutor but not for the defence.
