Barisone Trial Starting Monday, 3/28

He is trying to tell Blinkas that the argument he is trying to make is character assassination which isn’t allowed at this point…its evidence for the defense which should be brought forward at the appropriate time.

All I got is a shot of the ceiling tiles. Sound has apparently been muted on the court side of things.

I don’t see the link to join. Unfortunate, as I’d like to see some of the legal wrangling.

Yes, I’m on the ceiling tiles now, too. But before that it was working again for me. I think they are on a brief break before they get fired up again.

I missed the resolution of the discussion about whether the father could be in the court room in the gallery. What happened there?

They are bringing in the jury. That is why they cut the sound and are showing the ceiling.

I agree that the judge is being weird about it. Just because the prosecutor is saying that MB didn’t know about the messages until discovery doesn’t mean to me that the dad did not have a hand in the events leading up to the shooting where Bilikas is using a insanity/self defense claim.

Though it might open up a window for an appeal if the trial does not go MB’s way.

And OMG MB looks like crap. You’d think the defense would want to clean him up a bit and have him look, well, not insane at the current moment.

It’s on the law & crime site linked above.

My guess is that they are on a quick break and don’t want something being caught inadvertently on the mics or camera.

I believe they punted Lauren’s father for the time being, but may bring him in later.

I thought they said there was no ban on him?

It’s upthread in Horsedaft’s post 30 or 31 or thereabouts.

I think the decision was to have the father excluded from the court room while LK and RG gave their testimonies?

Thank you. A fascinating view of the ceiling tiles. I am guessing that the judge is having some kind of sidebar? or they need a new videographer.

My understanding was that he will be allowed in the gallery for now, but likely asked to leave during testimony given by LK or RG. Taylor also said he was ‘taking it under consideration’.

Wow. I am shocked by Barisone’s appearance.

Barisone reprimanded for putting his head on the table during a ruling.

MB seems to be weeping, as the property is described to the Judge and Jury.

I wonder why the judge doesn’t want the jury to know MB was incarcerated all this time.

It’s not relevant to their findings and in NJ, it is typical with their bail reform.

Okay, thanks for explaining that.
